Jason Merritt/Getty Images for LACMAKanye West has taken to Twitter yet again to voice some very strong opinions. The Life of Pablo rapper released the tweet below, calling out Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and The New York Times. West followed up 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." Yeezy continued, "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." The rapper's tweets come days after fellow musical artist Beyonce sent flowers to a New York Times writer after she praised her song "Formation."
To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.

West recently tweeted about his need for money, saying while he is "personally rich," additional funds would allow him to "bring more beautiful ideas to the world." The rapper noted, "I want to help the world and I need help to do it. I am an artist and I care about humanity." Fair enough! At least it seems he's using his outspoken nature and celeb status for a good cause.
