Hip-hop star Kanye West criticised President Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina at a televised benefit concert in New York on Friday.
One thing i love about people speaking their mind in situations where their message can get across to people, is this:
Quote:
West was cut off mid-speech after he criticised Mr Bush, and the cameras switched to comedian Chris Tucker.
^ Now if this isn't fear of letting someone speak the truth about something, then i'm the queen. NBC probably didn't want to experience the consequences of what was going to happen after the full speech he would have made. I could well beleive that George Bush/the authorities would be holding up the aid as slow as possible.
Quote:
It would be most unfortunate if the efforts of the artists are overshadowed by one person's opinion (nbc statement)
^ yeah right
