MP3 Remix: George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People
The most tragic event of this past month has spawned so much angst across the country causing many to look for people to blame, including our president George Bush.
A notable comment made this month was by rapper Kanye West when during a live NBC telethon, looking to raise money for hurricane victims, he went into a rant where he went from seeming really sincere in his comments about how he had been shopping for himself before even giving a donation, and feeling bad about that, to just rambling nonsense, when he finished it off by declaring, "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
This wasn't the first time Kanye spoke off the cuff. One time when trying to get signed to Columbia Records he told executive Michael Mauldin, "I'm going to be bigger than Jermaine Dupri", not knowing that Mauldin was Dupri's father. Kanye explained, "they hit me with those three words - we'll call you. They sent limos on the way up, and when I got downstairs I couldn't even catch a cab."
As for myself I am not trying to argue for or against what Kanye said, or on anything behind why he said what he did, or how funny Mike Myers face was during West's comments. What I really wanted to point out was the fabulous remix made by taking Kanye's song Gold Digger, his "George Bush" comment, and throwing some custom lyrics on top.
I have listened to this track at least 50 times this month. It's explicit, consider yourself warned about the language. And while the circumstances on why it was created are very unfortunate, the outcome is brilliant. Hope you enjoy like I did.
