Kanye West appeared on the Rickey Smiley Show this morning where he spoke freely about becoming a parent and the sense of loss he's felt since the passing of his mother Donda West in 2007. He told Rickey that he knows that he's mother is watching over him but some of his moments with North are bittersweet because he can't share them with his mom.
Arouund the 5:50 mark, he went into an interesting conversation he had with her father about music and its connection to violence and crime in Black communities. He explained that the same music corporations who promote violent music also also invest their money into privatized prisons. He drew the conclusion that corporations have figured out how to profit from crimes committed against Black people and by Black people.
