Kanye West has attacked what he calls “white publications” for commenting on “black music”.
The rapper recently released his latest album The Life Of Pablo, his first album in three years since 2013’s Yeezus. He then took the album off sale to 'finish it'.
The ‘Bound’ singer made the comments via Twitter last night, "To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore."
He followed up the Tweet with, "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."
Pitchfork gave the album 9/10, whilst the New York Times described West as having "perfected the art of aesthetic and intellectual bricolage" with his latest album.
To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.
