West went on to explain how rappers like Snoop Dogg and others mentioned Donald Trump numerously in many songs — until he became president.
“It’s like we’re mentally imprisoned. I like the word ‘prison’ because ‘slavery’ goes too close to the idea of blacks. It’s like, holocaust, jews, slavery it’s blacks. So ‘prison’ is something that unites us as one race. Blacks and whites as one race. We’re the human race.”
“Do you think I’m thinking free and being free?” West called out to the TMZ newsroom.
