Kanye for president in 2020!

Someone please tell me this is bullshit and he's not really serious.. If it were just about any other "artist" I would automatically assume it was just a joke. But he is so fucking full of himself, I have a hard time believing he's NOT serious.
Quote:
Bro, bro, listen to the kids. Jeremy, I got to put it down for a second, it's beautiful, Jeremy Scott designed... First of all, thank you Taylor for being so gracious and giving me this award this evening. And I often think back to the first day that I met you. Also, you know, I think about when I'm in the grocery store with my daughter and I have a really great conversation about fresh juice, you know, and at the end they say, "You're not that bad after all." And I think about it sometimes, like it crosses my mind when I go to a baseball game and 60,000 people boo me. It crosses my mind a little bit.
And I think, if I had to do it all again, what would i have done? Would I have worn a leather shirt? Would I have drank half a bottle of Hennessy and given the rest to the audience? Y'all know you drank that bottle too. If I had a daughter at that time, would I have went on stage and grabbed the mic from someone else's...
You know this arena, tomorrow, it's gonna be a completely different set up or something like that. This stage will be gone. After that night, the stage will be gone, but the effect it had on people will remain. The problem was the contradiction. The contradiction is: I do fight for artists, but in that fight I somehow was disrespectful to artists. I didn't know how to say the right thing, the perfect thing. I just... I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and Cee-Lo lose. Gnarls Barkley and the Future Sex album... Justin, I ain't trying to put you on blast but I saw that man in tears, bro. And I was thinking like, he deserves to win album of the year. And this small box that we are in as the entertainers of the evening. How could you explain that? Sometimes I feel like, you know, all this bullshit that they run about beef and all that, sometimes I feel like I died for the artist's opinion. For the artists to be able to have an opinion after they were successful. I'm not no politician, bro. And look at that. You know how many times MTV ran that footage again? 'cause it got them more ratings. You know how many times they announced that Taylor was gonna give me the award? 'cause it got them more ratings. Listen to the kids, bro.
I still don't understand award shows. I don't understand how they get five people who worked their entire life one sold records, sold concert tickets, to come stand on a carpet and for the first time in their life be judged on a chopping block and have the opportunity to be considered a loser. I don't understand it, brah. I don't understand when the biggest album and the biggest video... I've been conflicted, bro! I just wanted people to like me more. Fuck it bro.
Two thousand and fifteen. I will die for the art, for what I believe in. The art ain't always gonna be polite. Y'all might be thinking right now, "I wonder, did he smoke something before he came here?" The answer is yes, I rolled up a little something to knock the edge off. I don't know what's gonna happen tonight. I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, bro. But all I can say to my artist, my fellow artist, just worry about how you feel at the time man. Just worry about how you feel and don't never... I'm confident, I believe in myself. We the millennials, bro. This is a new mentality. We're not gonna control our kids with brands. We're not gonna teach low self esteem and that to our kids. We gonna teach our kids that they can be something. We're gonna teach our kids that they can stand up for themselves. We're gonna teach our kids to believe in themselves. If my grandfather was here right now he would not let me back down. I don't know what I'm finna lose after this, but don't matter though cause it's not about me. It's about ideas bro, new ideas bro. People with ideas. People who believe in truth. And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

I dunno whether to facepalm hard enough to give myself a concussion or laugh hysterically at the thought of him even thinking he has any kind of chance.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I'd vote Kanye over Jeb Bush and Hilary Clinton without a second thought. At least the mans not a puppet, he's just beeing himself.

I hate kanye but I would probably rather see him taken seriously as a candidate over Trump...
Me thinks its time to get the fuck out of the states
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Damn, you beat me to it Shroomslip!
Honestly, I'm curious on what he's actually going to use as platforms, or if he's just gonna say fuck this shit and wing it.
It'll be about as hilarious as Donald Trump. But let's be honest now, I bet you he'd be running a campaign to end the drug war. He says Fatherhood has changed him, I'll at least listen to him
Wonder if he's gonna try and run third party though

I really hope he does run. His campaigning is going to bring so much fucking lulsy gold.
I can already imagine the debates.. "Yo <other candidate> I'm happy for you and Imma let you finish, but I'll be the best president of all time!". Then at some point he's going to refuse to answer questions until everyone stands up, including the paraplegic.
If you really need any further convincing on how hilarious his run will be: http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/blogs/suzannah-ramsdale/545140/the-best-kanye-west-quotes.html
He admits he doesn't read books, ever. How the fuck is he going to read through bills and shit "Yo it's whatever man, lemme sign this shit and just get back to talking about how great I am already."

Some of those quotes man! 
Quote:
You should only believe about 90 percent of what I say. As a matter of fact, don’t even believe anything that I’m saying at all. I could be completely fucking with you, and the world, the entire time.'
Maybe this speech was about that. He did say he was high, and thought he was Donald Trump for a second 
Some of his quotes aren't that WTF though. "When you’re the absolute best, you get hated on the most." While not always true, popular people do get tons of shit for doing nothing wrong. But they'll usually get tons more for being an idiot.
Reading those quotes make me feel like he has Multiple Personalities or something. A few of them are at least somewhat down to earth, and other ones are just so egotistical it's crazy. He did say the voices in his head told him to walk up on stage...

He definitely has the over-inflated ego for the job. I'm assuming his platform would consist of fishdicks primarily.

hate on kanye all ya want but dude is a musical genius. no doubt in my mind about that...what would be the ramifications if he was actually elected president though? 129 million voted in the last presidential election (66m for Obama). There will be about ~26-27m 18-24 year olds in 2020...what if the rest of the vote is split between actual candidates and the majority of the young voters actually get out in vote and kanye becomes president...idk just thinking out loud

Yeah after he said he was a lyrical genius I went looking through a bunch of his shit just to make sure he wasn't. He writes lyrics like I wrote poetry when I was 15. My poetry fucking sucks.

Yeah he's serious. These two aren't even comparable. Lil John is a joke made popular by Dave Chappelle.
Listen to beautiful dark twisted fantasy.. dude can write and produce. Best since Jimmy Page probably(okay, not that good but that's what we're takin about)

Look at the above lyrics and now look at these lil jon lyrics
Quote:
I fell off in the club (shawty) Not lookin' for love (shawty) But I'm lookin' for a gul (shawty) For I could cut (shawty) Like little mama in the blue (shawty) She so got damn cute (shawty) But she say she need cheese (shawty) Before she dip wit' me (shawty) Well let me see (shawty) What it might be (shawty) And what's ya' fee (shawty) For my fantasy (shawty) Now I ain't rich (shawty) But I spend a little bit (shawty) So who you wit? (shawty) Let's do this shit (shawty)
How do they really differ? I'm really not gonna waste a bunch of time proving my case, even though I damn sure could. I really can't tell if I'm being trolled or not 
They are extremely comparable.

obviously y'all aren't going to change your minds cause you have this preconceived notion of Kanye...but if you want to at least try to understand where people are coming from when they say Kanye is a good hiphop artist read this at least... https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/1hl2dh/guide_to_kanye_west/
I get if you're not into hiphop then you might think he's a joke but if you are into it at all you have to give the dude props
