Kanye West: ‘White Publications’ Need to Stop Commenting on ‘Black Music’

Singer Kanye West tweeted Monday that “white publications” need to stop commenting on “black music,” since white people simply can’t understand the descendants of slaves.

To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.

I love love love white people but you don’t understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves and make it this far.

The system is designed for colored people to fail and one of our only voices is music. One of our only ways out is music.

Shut the fuck up and enjoy the greatness.

The rant appears to have been a reaction to a review from Pitchfork that West did not like, since West tweeted the following at them minutes earlier.

Pitchfork, the album is a 30 out of 10

What was the score that made West so upset? They gave his new album a 9.0 out of 10.
