Kanye West and Kim Kardashian 2013: Bound 2 Couple and Drake Are Changing How the World Thinks
Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and Drake are setting examples for the world, one noble move at a time.
On Nov. 25, rapper Kanye West appeared on Washington D.C.'s 95.5 WPGC where he spoke about how his influence on how the world thinks.
According to West, his interracial relationship with socialite Kim Kardashian is helping others feel confident about their own relationships.
"I can date a white woman. I can date a black woman, and no matter what they say in the barber shop don't matter because I don't get my haircut there," West said while laughing. "For the people that do though, there's a white woman that's getting talked down to by her friends because she's dating a black guy. Now you've got a point of reference, you can say, 'Well, actually this couple right here, that's dope.'"
Being out of the ordinary is nothing new to West, and he plans to keep it that way.
"I almost like doing bad ideas," West said. "I only like doing things people won't do. They're less cliché. I can show you how you can take the power out of anything, and how you can add power to anything. Like I can take the power out of the n-word. We can take the power out of the Confederate flag."
West isn't the only rapper changing social standards. According to the Yeezus rapper, Drake is responsible for making people second guess calling a woman a "bitch."
"He came and said, 'Wait a second, we're not just going to be like droppin' the b-word all day long because it does impact our women and take away from the idea of family,'" West said about Drake.
Together, West and Drake can heal society as "the first" rappers to fight against hurtful derogatory terms.
"I was the first rapper to come up and say, 'Let's stop hip hop homophobia,' and Drake is the first rapper to say, 'Hey let's start respecting the women more,'" West said. "So when we talk about words and the powers that they have and symbolism and everything...I'm going to lean more to the side of thinking that, and it's not because you know, I have a daughter, that would be an obvious thing..."
