00:10 Mo Facts with Adam Curry for October 28th, 2019. This is episode number 13! Oh yeah just had to wait for the drums to drop... Hey Mo how you doing? I'm doing good, Adam. How about yourself? Nothing like starting the show off with a little Kanye! A little Yeezy for y'all! Oh yeah, Yeezy! Hold on listen to this man, listen to this! That's so loud! Love that song fantastic Yeah So I kind of know what we're gonna do today which is nice Yes, by the songs it said dead giveaway We are going talk about Kanye West What were gonna do is give Kanye West his justice
00:58 By looking at the dynamic personality that he is, I liken him to being the black Donald Trump. Interesting. Okay. Yeah? The reason why I say that is one he's going to be somebody we talk about decades from now. He just wanted those people and two they have this independence about themselves that really rubs the establishment the wrong way Yes, and since you've made the comparison up front Kanye is like several people who I really really really like a lot
01:40 And that's... the reason I like him is because of what they're saying overall. But as i'm now a little bit older, I understand that not only is nobody perfect but these great people will say fantastic things and then sometimes the most idiotic stupid or perhaps incomprehensible things But that's exactly what I like about him is it's the imperfections that make is so beautiful And yeah, I would put him. I would put Trump in the same category Absolutely there's more people not as famous but we're just they just say it and they speak their heart to their mind and sometimes It's you know like me. I have that too. I do I say all kinds of stupid shit
02:26 Amidst the brilliance, of course. Of course! I feel like i'm the same way with it. I don't have that filter or that filter is very porous. That where the truth comes out and in the clip bite world we live in It's refreshing to have these kind of individuals. And then two, as you said that the way they say certain things they could be clipped to sound like idiots. Yes very easily so what I want to do with this show is to give some
03:05 deep diving the deep diving of view look into Kanye and what he's meant to Quote-unquote black people and how the media has warped him his His what he is until what they want him to be and a perfect example Well, he just came out with a recent album. Yep called Jesus King Yes And this is a whole new it's kind like He's come back around to where he started. I've always said that Kanye West cannot be cancelled because he made Jesus walks, but he is bulletproof. I've said that from day one and he has a certain tie with his fans. He has a certain equity that he can defeat cancel culture
