"Kanye West is done" another reason why Molly should not talk
404 or that he lost 10 mil followers
He’s doing pretty well
KANYE THE GOAT
He's a genius! Haters gonna hate! Go Kanye!
@@carribeanforce right ....sure ....
Kanye even made First Take! DAMN.
Lord Escanor democratic ran networks cannot have kanye telling blacks they have a choice in what they can support. Their political control stems on minority groups iverwhelingl voing then during election times
He balling without picking the ball
Greenkidd thats not what Ye said but okay neither political side is good and if u think trump doing a good job u must be blind
MizzY Moss did I fucking mention trump or support for a side? I'm simply pointing out Kanye is going against the grain and the media is not having it. That's it I said the same shit when Colin Kapernick kneeled the owners weren't having it. Democrats ..republicans two side of the same. Coin that want control of minorities in their own way
Greenkidd i didnt say u did mention trump i said "IF" and kanye just want attention he contradict hisself so many time in that interview with Charlemagne
He talks about LeBron so much he almost said his name! 😂😂😂 1:08
king Richards 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
LMFAOOOOOO YOOOOOOO
I thought I was the only one that peeped that 😂
Kanye's exact words were as follows: "when you hear about slavery for 400 years that sound like a choice... it's like we're mentally imprisoned. I like the word "prison" better cause "slavery" goes too direct to the idea of blacks... prison is something that unites us as one race... the human race." He then later said, "the reason why I brought up the 400 years point is because we can't be mentally imprisoned for another 400 years." Kanye was talking about mental slavery in the present day being a choice not actual slavery. It's not like actual slavery has been around for 400 years in the US. Actual slavery was abolished in 1863, 244 years after the first slaves came over to America in 1619. Kanye is saying however that mental slavery has lasted past the Emancipation Proclamation into 2018. It has been almost 400 years since the first slaves came over to America (2018-1619=399 years) and many of us are still mentally imprisoned. He thinks this is a choice. This is all that Kanye was trying to say.
Oh. Then its not that bad
Appreciate this people Needa read this 💯 even tho I’m late but when I seen this before I wasn’t a big fan of Kanye as I am now but I knew what he meant
This is exactly what he meant to say. How the black community missed his point entirely and chose to have an emotional breakdown instead might be reflective of the slavery mindset he refers to
If people think with logic they’d get it.
The fact of the matter is, at least half of that time, we were in actually slavery. Was it a choice then? I didn't think so. I still understand what you mean, but he still shouldn't have said it.
He was finna say Lebron @1:08 😂😂😂😂😂😂
T-Rawbased lmao they be talking bout LeBron to much at espn
T-Rawbased i noticed it too
T-Rawbased i remember when espn was talking about kawhi leonard one time and they slipped lebron name haha
🤣🤣🤣
Damn...shows how much he's on his mind, lmao
Why is this on ESPN?????
Cuz it involved Colin Kaepernick
I Write A Song A Day because joe left everyday struggle
Cuz ESPN hates the white man
I Write A Song A Day because ESPN is struggling and any views are good views.....fuck ESPN
no clue how "I write a song" got in there.....I didn't type it
Yea kanye is done lmao see yall in line for the next yeezy drop
They said Kanye west is done🤣 coming back here two years later with the last laugh 😆 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂this aged well
He was talking about the mentality
exactly lol
Then why didn't he say that?
Why is First Take talking about Kanye West though? What team he play for?
you dont have to watch...
Clearly Faded The D.C. Racists, head coach Donald Trump
😂😩😂
Your boy Shay Sharpe Soft ass nigga
Grizzly Boys why nigga tho?
Why is this being covered on a sports show?
Josh Samuel 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s nothing,watch a strike or protest start 😂
MuhibAli110 idk its dumb Steven A is racist
Kaepernick is a football player
ESPN hasnt really been about sports in years...like MTV isnt about music videos
Thank you Stephen A. Smith you stated everything I was feeling in your statement! Brilliantly stated!
Lisa Lindsey God bless Kanye!
KANYE IS MORE WOKE THAN 95%
A slave when first captured by gun point has no choice but to cooperate or die. After a while the slave has a natural right to rise up against the master and launch a counter ambush. The nature of human kind is to rise up, break their chains, and desecrate their enslaver. Harriet Tubman achieved this through escape and evasion. Frederick Douglas accomplished this by physical beating his slave master and escaping to a better life. Remaining on the plantation, singing to white Jesus, and forgiving the slave master is another choice. I do believe this is what Kanye was talking about.
The earthbound black person is the only people walking the planet that are compelled to forgive, pray for, and unconditionally love another race that has done them so much harm.
Stephen A is a corporate puppet, We stand with Kanye ✊🏽
"Act like you know and don't claim that it's mental."- Kris Kross
actually that was Treach of Naughty By Nature that wrote that.
I know what happened ...the Kardashian curse is real!
nba 2kking something in those Kardashian waters
Factz 🤣🤣😂
They cursed all their men.
they fucked him up forreal and the thing that happend with his mother fucked him up too he is lost !
Kardashians are like the white cult members from "Get out!". Harden and Lamar "got out", Tristan is trying, Kanye is next!
I'm black and I agree with Max. I think what Kanye was trying to say was "emancipate yourselves from mental slavery" but articulated it very clumsily.
That's exactly what Kanye was trying to say. He even clarified if you listen to the full interview. SAS and these other nutbags who jump to conclusions are a disgrace to society because they don't listen.
your spot on and that's what kapernick is afraid to do debate hes a sucker hiding wont talk Kanye manned the FUCK up whether you like it or not he did !
reggieD100 that “mental slavery” and “slavery was a choice” talking point has been a racist talking point used by whites for decades.
You want to say “Kanye’s a genius” but a platinum selling rapper can’t articulate his words properly? The irony.
Shonen no you're completely wrong. you think black people need to think one way and thats the problem. im white so should i agree on what all other white people say? no cause thats retarded Kanye is saying to be a FREETHINKER but you're not getting it. its ok to be black and think different
reggieD100 ....Max DON'T have a clue....he's ass is white! GTFOH
This is the first time these two aren’t arguing over something. Preach Steve A
Slavery is a mindset is what I think Kanye meant.
T'Challa: come I think we can still save you
Killmonger: why so you can lock me up Nah I'll rather die like my ancestors did when they jumped off the ships because they knew death was better than bondage
But Kanye is mentally sick for saying the same thing.
pakman3K He didn't say the same thing .... In fact he said something completely different.
He didn't say that and was factually incorrect from what he said. There was many times slaves tried to rebel but were silenced and families were killed.
Nahin Khan he said I was a choice and the movie says it’s a choice how is it different? I would rather die standing then to live on my knees . I would rather (choose)to get killed then be a slave , that’s my (choice). I would rather jump off the boat the be a slave . How is it different?
No he said we being enslaved was a choice
“It doesn’t matter what Kanye meant, my outrage is the only thing that matters.” - Stephen A
Kanye is a narcissist
WOW!!! I am a senior black lady (retired) and just love your video. Thank God we have young people logic like yours. Each of you are correct.
Does anyone remember when ESPN was 24/7 sports related?
Hip hop and sports one in the same
There were over 400 slave rebellions in the u.s.a, the Gullah war is the specific war that broke the chains of slavery. Be proud of your ancestors!!! They kicked alot of ass!!!!
son of Ogun They CHOSE to throw off the chains of bondage
So, they made the choice not to be slaves!! You making his point others didn't make that choice!!!
Ya! Girl Favorite Homeboy lol true
Ya! Girl Favorite Homeboy Ur wrong Kanye said “All of Y’all for 400 yrs!” He implied that all of the African slaves in America were weak hence why slavery lasted so long and his point as well as your interpretation of it is bullshit.
Your giving a history lesson for a sports show
Damn, I didn't expect to hear about Kanye here of all places. Lol
afro curly girl: Kanye goat
It's due to the lead in topic being of what is on the screen, a sports origin figure(kaep), add in the trump affect and current events. It leads to this kind of discussion about the most recent example(kanye).
afro curly girl media sucks, let Kanye speak his mind.
Haven't you heard? First Take is officially into politics until 2024. Check out the ratings. Enjoy!
Jonathan Johnson that part
6.6 billion dollars later lol
why’s this on espn lol
I watch ESPN to escape CNN
and yet here we are they haven't learned their lesson yet they just keep sticking their hand down that badger hole
There's no escape......
You know this is youtube and not live TV? As in there's millions of other videos to watch other than acting like a whiny bitch lol
I didn't even know ESPN was still a thing. Do they even have ratings?
Greg Mille well take your ass somewhere else and don't watch. Because black people dominate Sports, and the NBA's majority-black, so this affects us. So if you don't like black people or people who cover black people talking about social events then take your ass somewhere else
I honestly feel bad for Max, he clearly feels uncomfortable talking about the this kind of subject on a sports show. This topic i think just isn't for him.
MIKE Lonzo and on top of that Stephen A rude af. Kept cutting him off
or any topic lol
right on brother!
can we get an English translation?
Max is a white apologist! He went HAM for Kaepernick kneeling but not when Kayne bucks the system. Lol! I think it’s funny!
Listening to *Kanye* is a *Choice* 🤔
William Brown You had the choice of not reading it, but you couldn't help yourself.....🤔
Exactly
@William Brown for adults it is.. how about 14 year olds?
But slavery is not a choice
🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how everyone took what he said literal. He was referring to people's modern day mentality. Mental slavery that a political ideology has over them as a community.
Ok. So now us black are going to debate each other on a subject 150 years old about whose perspective is right...this is weird and a waste of time...
They (people who were slaves) had no choice. We (people less than 150 years old) have a choice to not be enslaved by the past, mentality. It's that simple to me.
Drop the slave mentality and let's get past this.
Instead of yelling let's start leading.
Taron Young Exactly!! Cleary their comprehension skills need work. Until the black community gets out of this monolithic mindset, they’ll remain where they are. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting change.
We still in a victim hood status it drags us down
Diego Garcia what mindset? Why is every non black race in our nuts?
Diego Garcia the only way for that mindset to change is to get the Democrats out of power. they are the ones that want to keep black people (and minorities in general) oppressed, controlled, and manipulated.
Sean Conner The monolithic mindset. The idea that every black person HAS to think a certain way and if they don’t, they’re labeled all sorts of stuff and discredited. The mindset that a black conservative would be Cast out as a traitor against their own community.
Dont let this distract you from the fact tha Russ, PG13 and Melo lost to a rookie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Winston Smith and joe Ingles
The war is not meant to be won, it's meant to be continuous.
Winston Smith lmao well Atleast Russ, melo and pg are rooting for Kanye to keep saying stupid stuff lmao so espn can stop talking about there embarrassing playoff loss lol.
Winston Smith Team game my friend it wasnt 3on1
And good coaching and players around him
Max always says what's politically correct and if he didn't he would be fired quicker than a black guy
Max was speaking way more honestly, although he was still being a bit politically correct minding his words.
Will cain is hired so I doubt that
Don't Do It LOL you are two years late on that comment today it has got much worse all white people are now racist You better not say the wrong thing are you would definitely get fired especially if you’re white
@@jiddybangbang1028 not at espn, also stephen a went on cnn a couple years ago and literally told black people to vote for republicans look up stephen a smith cnn
Don't Do It I like Stephen A and What I remember him saying was that Black people should make Democrats earn their vote instead of giving them over 90% every time. Basically saying the Democrats take the black vote for granted
Thank you for sticking your head out and thanking a smart brother.
As a black man living in 2018... Mental slavery is absolutely a choice.. He was NOT speaking on those who were thrown on slave ships.. He was talking about blacks using slavery as an excuse for shit not going well for us in 2018.. Everyone is twisting what he said just to make a debate seeking headline
Cookie N Creams facts
We going by what he said y’all kanye fans trying to justify it
exodus If you're making statements based off of what he said why do you ignore him literally saying that black people are "mentally imprisoned"?
stop trying to change what you think he meant, if he meant us as of now he wouldn't have included 360 years of other people he knows nothing about, if he had said now we have a choice than yes but don't include hundreds of years when he wasn't even alive.....he's wrong thats all it is and will ever be....
Ganja Garnett you are wrong he was talking about the 400 years of slavery was a choice. He then tried to clear it up by saying that was a mental choice. It is not a choice because death was the other option.
Kanye had to make himself relevant again before his album dropped.... But he played himself 🤷
That fake deep shit got to him
Agreed and that's what it's about but he messed up bad there's no coming back from this honestly
The album was going to sell regardless
GhettoJesus number won’t lie, he gonna break records, godly stuff
If you think deep enough you African americans are still mentally enslaved by choice today cause you dumb niggas are still being hand fed food stamps and told who hate and what to vote for meanwhile us Africans who still have Slavery around right now in countries like Libya when giving opportunities to come to the US we work hard,take your jobs and send the money back to our poor families back home.
"I'm not going to define what isn't ignorant, I'm going to be the definition of universal power." -Fortune&F.a.m.e.
Kanye West is not an intellectual... nuff said.
Neither are these guys. You don't need to be labelled an "intellectual" to make valid points.
Andre Esters None of them are. Not Kanye, not Kaepernick, not Trump, not none of them.
lol Lebron james isnt an intellectual either but when he starts talking politics and others say he should shut up and dribble, these morons from espn says the complete opposite. SMH
Andre Esters we all remember how Kanye West secrific his own mother to satin for fame.
too bad west didn't make any valid points.
So throw a picture of kapernick and this turns into sport news
I love this sport
a grossly underrated comment
Steve & Max did that 🙌🏽
U notice the cut max off when he started to make sense
What sport is this?
Blood sport
tben916 life isn’t a sport
I'm saying tho 😂 ppl act like Kanye is God or something . I have no clue how ppl let someone who makes mediocre music get to them . this dude is JUST A RAPPER, not GOD
Alfred Oruwariye Motorsport
Alfred Oruwariye the sport of life
Wow max quoting two of the greatest Jamaicans I am impressed glad that he them
max dropping knowledge 3:24
Max needs to get his head out of his ass... where he smuggles all of that cocaine.
Thanks Stephen A for keeping it real.
sports?
BOOTSontheGROUND sport of life
LOL, expecting sports from ESPN
BOOTSontheGROUND didn't u watch the other topics they talked bout . I don't think so
Some stuff is bigger than sports
BOOTSontheGROUND They are adding fusion by putting politics,religion,hiphop,race etc..times have really changed.
He is clearly talking about mind-slavery:
Some Kanye West quotes from the FULL INTERVIEW (not the extended... the FULL):
"We've been controled by the media "
"We are following other people's opinions "
" Yeah, right now we're choosing to be enslaved"
" By that you're choosing to enslave people's minds "
400years of MIND-SLAVERY - Pretty self-explanatory. But you just read titles and watch short cuts thus proving 100% the media control on people that Kanye was speaking about
FuneralforFriendROCK it’s ironic. They make so much off this kind of stuff
😐He said slavery sounded like a choice. “It sounds like a choice. 400 years sound like a choice” Dont try and play into sum he said, he said it.
yeah for sure he said that bro.. but Kanye didnt communicate what he meant well and he for sure explained what he meant, both in the full interview with charlagmane AND THE CUT OUT PART OF THE TMZ INTERVIEW. TMZ CUT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THAT INTERVIEW.
FuneralforFriendROCK How would slavery of any kind be a choice? You are a dumbass.
President Trump racism is systematic. No one chooses to be a slave to welfare..or a slave to the Ghetto! Mentally or otherwise. You had some good points, but you lost me with your ignorance. Let's start with the racist system that was built to keep minorities living in the Ghettos.. the racist system that pushes welfare on minority communities. SMH! I'm a Social Worker. My BA in Sociology and my Masters in Psychology tells me that your ignorance about the effects of systematic racism are the basis for your comment.
he didnt get what kanye tried to tell us
'Kanye can never come back from this'
Really? It's 2021 and Kanye is still uncancellable. The joke is on y'all
Well this aged like milk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This does NOT belong on ESPN!
Max did a really great job on his analogy of this issue with Kanye
percy percy That's not what he is saying..
Blxck Jeezus yes he is
Decatur Juugman As a black man, I am saying that YOU are the problem (if in fact you are actually black - I know how people are posing on this site to get rep.)
As a linguistics major - if I had to bet - I would put serious money on you being a white troll trying to pose as someone expressing a Black point of view. More to the point, I would guess you are actually a White Nationalist or Alt-Right. Just the manner in which you constructed your argument (and don't waste my time suggesting that I mean you sound "too intelligent" to be Black, because that's not my point at all - and I BET you damn well know it) is precisely the manner someone unsuccess at posing in the guise of being something they are not gives themself away.
percy percy just shut the fuck up goofy
Louisville finest oh what's wrong slave? Did I hit the spot?
Max Kellerman is sharp & on point how he's breaking his analysis on it!
Bruh this is espn why are they even doing this. I mean i guess its really sad that it takes a sports channel to be somewhat no bias
He didn't lose 10 million followers. Twitter acknowledged this. Molly, stay in your lane.
pakman3K yea cuz thats the real issue here
Is this ESPN or CNN?
LOL both liberal garbage
Then why watch if all you gonna do is complain it tells you what it is in the title 😒😒😒😒😒
Anonymous cause Air Lebrons a snowflake 😂😂
Anonymous this is a sports show they shouldn’t be talking about it in this first place
You can't handle thinking about two topics at the same time?
since when did ESPN become a political hack
Stephen A. Smith & Max my gratitude for your competence in explaining what this person did.
LOL! ESPN been dying to talk about those slavery comments. It could've just been an NHL player coming off the bench. If he said something about Kanye thats a green light for ESPN to talk about the comments.
Dominique Robinson you get it. Sad others cannot see. Democrats are strong. They have a veil over the yes of the sheep .
This shit is stupid, Fuck ESPN.
Donald Alexander What are you talking about. The whole point of my comment was how they wanted to talk about something that had nothing to do with sports. The only person involved in sports in this topic is Kap and he's nowhere near playing for the NFL and barely talked about in this segment.
Dominique Robinson Well the fact is, we need to talk about it in all segments of life. If you're white, you might not think so, and that's the problem.
Fame and money...what happen to the Kanye that release the College Dropout album
Watching the Warrens That Kanye Dead and gone...been polluted by fame...He used to actually try to empower ppl with his music... now he all egocentric and self absorbed
I missed that Kanye, but this guy is dead to me.
He was like 20 something right? He got old man, life happened he went through shit and changed. Happens to everyone.
Just a common reminder that money does not change you. It only magnifies and brings out who you already are.
blakkshultz5 well said u forgot narcissistic ,vain ,piece of feces
Its gettin, its gettin, its gettin kinda hectic! 3:29 when Kellerman gotta quote Marcus Garvey/Bob Marley
Well said ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
I thought this show was about sports ?
Jakob Lozano facts!! 💯💯💯
Sometimes they talk about some other relevant issues in pop culture as well, its actually super interesting since they are both pretty smart guys so i don't mind hearing their opinions on things other than LeBron.
Alex Callahan yeah but it would be nice if they didn't just pontificate on what they believe he said.
It has more to do with them trying to one up eachother and seem more important than anything to do with sports
Jakob Lozano foreal 🤦♂️
In reality, what Kanye said makes perfect sense. Watch the whole interview - his comment about slavery is being taken completely out of context.
Kanye is starting to realize that he’s an individual and that he’s no longer going to be trapped in a group think of people that think they are victims. He’s imploring his black brothers to free themselves of the shackles of the past. He’s trying to improve the black community by being a leader.
Lou ELastic what ?
Justin Crowder ikr
Lou ELastic u white go figure, most black guys follow white a man even that white man is a racist
Lou ELastic I've watched the video too and Kanye West meaning is being misconstrued, but i would not label him a leader or role model. He's confused and lost he doesn't speak for us.
The problem with Stephen A Smith and the people that have commented so far is that they don't see the big picture of what Kanye is talking about.
Listen to the man and throw your bias out the window for a moment. He describes how Donald Trump has been very popular in the rap community, hence the inclusion of his name in several songs by several artists over the years.
Why is this important? As soon as Trump started running for president, the tone has changed. Democrats convinced black voters that Trump was not their guy. In fact, they consistently run a "we are going to help minorities" campaign while slandering the other side to be a racist party. All the while, they do nothing to help black communities. They give minorities empty promise after empty promise during elections. Yet you still vote for them. Aren't they tired of being looked at as nothing more than votes by the left?
Kanye is sick and tired of black people being looked at as victims, which politicians have been exploiting for years. He wants black people to free themselves from their past. He doesn't want black kids growing up thinking everyone is out to get them. Most of all, I don't think he wants them to believe that some politicians are going to fix their problems when they are not to be trusted. When Kanye says 400 years of slavery sounds like a choice, he does not mean this literally.
He preaches freedom of thought, and is met with contempt by the very people he is trying to reach. Its a shame.
It needs to be discussed in all forums , period that way it forces people to not be able to ignore it to their own peril !
The expression on Max’s face 😂. He is thinking “why the f$&k do I have to try to justify, and make excuses for Kanye. ESPN is trying to get me killed”
Y’all ain’t watch the whole thing. You just heard one sentence and interpreted it in your own way.
Dude it’s clear as day what he said ain’t no other way to interpret it
Na we watched it.. He's still wrong
Why people keep defending Kanye? I'm not surprised he said this to be honest. I've been over Kanye's outlandish comments for a few years now. Why people still listen to the words that come out his mouth. Just enjoy the music.
Kanye could punch a baby and you would say.....you guys don't understand why he punched him!
He tried to explain it on Twitter then deleted it he said it × he mint it
I'm going to keep saying it. Max is BRILLIANT. I never realized just how much I vibe with this dude. His way of finding the truth in things. His ability to apply the appropriate sensitivity and empathy required to understand people and situations. His masterful command of his language and understanding of expression. He's just an intellectually well-rounded guy.
D ridin
@@wizard932 Max didn’t need Skip Bayless to save his career
@@lyndonchastain3181 more glazin
kanye is a genius simply saying those words he just showed us all the industry puppets
Yes I agree!! The system needs puppets
Brilliant placement of topic,I actually learned of this first from here, BUT I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS!!!!
Kanye West a none sports personality takes about slavery a none sports subject on TMZ a none sports media outlet.......and yet First Take feel a need to make a segment about it.
Armondo Ortiz slavery is kinda a sports subject because it deals with the people’s ancestors who were enslaved
Stfu you just don’t wanna hear about it period
HYPOCRISY
It's funny that Charles Barkley says, "I wanna punch that guy in the face".. But SAS ignores the direct words and goes to what he meant.
But when Kanye West says, "Slavery was a choice, WE are Mentally in bondage." SAS says he doesn't care what Kanye intended to mean.
People mad at Kanye did not listen to the whole interview, and only heard or read a headline.
Also, Molly should fact check. The statement that he lost 10 million followers was a lie, and Twitter has already acknowledged that.
Andddd.. SAS you don't speak for all black people. It's insulting and exactly what Kanye was talking about. You are assuming a community of people all feel the same way because we are the same race. It's very ignorant and promotes group thought.
you deserve money for this comment
Bory F u are 100% correct
Richey Edwards He did on Twitter. And when he's talking about 400 years it's clear he means mental slavery because it's from 1618-2018
I listened too it and so did SAS and max you can tell they both listened from the references they used ...
When does the album drop
I love it when these two go at it!!! Even though I know most of is scripted but it's still fun to watch them. Lmao
Btw Kanye never apologized for what he said he was sorry that it hurt Van that badly. He meant what he said. He also explained what he meant right after he said it "SEEMS TO ME" to be a choice not that his words mean facts. We are allowed to think and see the world differently people.
WTF DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SPORTS?????????
Qarcon the sport of life
You did not have to click on the video you know?
I don’t think Kanye West has anything to do with sports. Typical MSESPN.
It's part of the MSM goal to distract and conflate things to keep you dumbed down.
Qarcon ESPN desperate these days
It's not the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever said!!! What about fools that feel the world is flat???
The world is flat,, doesn't defile an entire race of people
PREACH!!!!!
Is this a sports show or a show about politics? I get confused sometimes
Silent Noise they mentioned Kaepernick and Kayne. Can't you read ?
Silent Noise it's a social issue not political
That’s the issue we don’t want to hear about it, people destroy the confidence of our ethnic community. And y’all want to hear about a fucking ball. It should be a moment for them to talk about the issues on the for front of our nation. Every once and a while.
Right
Raymond S and?
Max Kellerman was making a great point before Stephen Ass Smith interrupted him smh
They dont wanna hear the truth
Damn bruh just went in on kanye 😭😭
People calling him crazy but he’s the one with 6.6 billion. “He’s just a musician”. Exactly why he has one of the most famous shoes ever
he didn't lose 10 million followers lmao why do people keep lying about that shit. he still has 28.2m its actually gone up
im Hispanic and i got so much love for black people, most of my best friends are black and they're like brothers to me, even I got offended by the comment, so you or anybody who supports Kanye can go fuck themselves! !
Yeah all white people saying they will support him.
Mark K that was the first thing I noticed. I was like WTF?!?! Kayne lost 10 million followers? FAKE NEWS. And they say Trump lies, Gawd Dayum!😁👌
well Drive this is my country, I was born here bitch! so if you don't like it, get on a boat and go back to Europe with your racist, ignorant ass!
Mark K molly just doesn’t know what she’s talking about. simple
Stephen A, I think you are misunderstanding kanye West.
He's just grandstanding. If you listen to the full interview it was clear Kanye was talking about the slave mentality which persists to this day
i would ask you to elaborate but that will only decrease my iq reading your pre-k sunmmary
3:17 tell me hes not fucking stoned 😂😂😂look at those eyes lmao
Real talk, well said
Y’all know dam well he didn’t mean it that way smh
Different Perspective Kanye’s acting like a child regardless with this Trump crap. Psychologically, he wants to feel like he fits in.
"slavery for 400 years...now that kinda sounds like a choice to me"😑😑
Na he meant that shit. Hes just trying to walk it back now.
Yes he did he said the last 300 years of slavery was a choice I thought that he lent something else and was getting deep but he said the last 300 years of slavery was a choice and that’s just outrageous
Different Perspective if you only consider his words, then maybe he meant them to mean something else but consider his actions of calling Trump his brother and showing support of him. Trump is a racist individual. Put Kanye's words with his actions and you clearly see what he meant by his remarks on slavery. He disappointed a whole community and many more people beyond that.
This is sports news?
Derrick Likes NBA no but because he is speaking up for himself and telling black people they have a choice in the way they think about politics liberal organizations and media networks cannot have it. A lot of their control stems over blacks supporting democrats. This world is fucked up an
whatever dude, stop with with this shit. the country is in deep shit right now, so fuck this narrative "we want only sports". by the way fuck you
Unsubscribe then. Fuck you and goodbye.
Derrick Likes NBA why is there sides? Why is it “standing up for blacks” and vise Versa. Why can’t we all just be one and see color like it’s a different color shirt than ur shirt and it doesn’t matter? Pretty shit analogy but u get my point

ESPN's brand of feigned outrage is always a hoot.
Stephen A. needs to STOP interrupting Max. Max was in the middle of droppin' knowledge and Stephen A. always wants to bring up the "I'm a Black man and you are not qualified to talk about Black issues speech". Honestly, Max sounds more authentic and insightful than Stephen A on most issues.
Kellerman sucks.
I love Max Kellerman. Wise man.
I should slap you
This has nothing to do with sports? ESPN just wants an excuse to show how offended they are by words yet again.
I love Stephen A. Smith. Preach!
It ended well. The longer version of the interaction ended rather well.
Max is right about the Garvey thing that's what he was really saying
What sport does Kanye play?
life
Your mom
This story involved Kaepernick (slightly)
Dr. Claud Anderson said the same thing on the Rock Newman show. The only difference is the Doc elaborated on it!
Does ESPN really need to cover something like this?
Wth does Kanye have to do with espn 😑😑😑🙄
Dam finally Steven Mad comment with out the flip flopping thru his statement.
I like that side of him.
