Kanye West expressed his thoughts about President Barack Obama’s shortcomings during his term on New York's Power 105.1, and the rapper’s comments do not disappoint.
West is known to make unfiltered statements about anything and everything; from his budding fashion career to his musical and artistic expressions, nothing is off-limits for the “Yeezus” creator.
It does not come as a surprise that West has a strong opinion about the United State’s “first black president.” Check out what West said below.
"We don’t got it like that. When I tell you only seven black billionaires, look at marginalization, and we feel like we happy because me and Rick Ross got it made, or I got a spread outside, a couple of us, or they put a black president.
Man, let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can't make these moves or he's not executing. That's because he ain't got those connections. Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people. Black people don't have the same connection as oil people.
You know we don't know nobody that got a nice house. You know we don’t know nobody with paper like that we can go to when we down. You know they can just put us back or put us in a corporation. You know we ain’t in situation. Can you guarantee that your daughter can get a job at this radio station? But if you own this radio station, you could guarantee that. That’s what I’m talking about."

Well, at least he didn’t go off on Power’s radio hosts like he did with Sway. West recently went on a full-on, anger-filled rant about how Sway “ain’t got the answers” about why he hasn’t reached high levels of success in the fashion industry.
