As mentioned on my last post Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk world premiered Kanye West’s new single “Ye vs. the People” featuring T.I. before he even released it. The official CDQ version has now surfaced on all platforms.
Following his major trolling of the Internet with the release of “Lift Yourself,” Mr. West comes through with a single about his recent support of President Donald Trump and joining the Make America Great Again movement.
Kanye and T.I. go back-and-forth on the song about Ye’s political views as TIP courts Yeezus about his recent political views and plays the role of “The People.” It’s a brilliant concept and reminiscent of Joyner Lucas’ “I’m Not Racist.”
“I know Obama was heaven-sent / But ever since Trump won, it proved that I could be president.” Kanye kicks in his first stanza before saying later that he is trying to unify the nation. “You just readin’ the headlines, you don’t see the fine print / You on some choosin’ sides shit, I’m on some unified shit.”
TIP then chimes as “The People” rapping, “It’s bigger than your selfish agenda / Fuck who you choose as your political party / You representin’ dudes that seem cruel and cold-hearted / With blatant disregard for the people who put you in position.”
At the end T.I. asks Yeezy to see things through a different lens. “You gotta see the vantage point of the people / What makes you feel equal makes them feel evil.”
Kanye West has already said on his Twitter account that his forthcoming 7-track album, which remains without a title will be released on Friday, June 1st. Stay tuned for more updates as they unfold.
