Kanye West's Dad Slams Son




Kanye West is under fire because of February's Rolling Stone cover.

Wearing a crown of thorns with blood running down his face, the rapper posed as Jesus Christ for the cover shot.

Inside the publication, Ray West, a sociology professor and former Black Panther, takes his son to task.

Evidently Kanye's father disapproves of the degrading lyrics in his son's songs.

"I've stated to him very clearly that he needs to move beyond the negative language and the 'n****r' statements," Papa West explained to Rolling Stone.

Sounding similar to Bill Cosby, Kanye's father continued, "It's alright to say 'b***h' and 'm***er f***er' on the corner, but when you start operating on a different level you can't talk like that. Fine, you're trying to get some street acceptance. Now that you got that, get back to your roots."

Sounding a familiar parental refrain, he finished up with the statement, "You know that's not where you came from. You know that's not how you were raised."

The Left Coast Report hopes someone sends Kanye a DVD of "Father Knows Best."

My View

Kanye's father was on point. Its about time somebodyu in the so called rap game took video's and music to a new level. I'm sick and tired of seeing pimp, car and ho commercials with stupid lyrics and lame loops.
give it too him ray

I agree with his dad too. Wasn't this the same person that always spoke about 'black this' and 'black that', yet he degrades us in his lyrics?.....oh well. I'm not much of a fan of his, anyway.

PS--Nice blog.

I never heard a Kanye song (Gold Digger) until last week. I wasn't impressed. I'm a huge Bill Cosby fan and I also agree with Kanye's dad.

I agree with his father. I don't listen to rap too much. I find the lyrics, for the most part, degrading. I agree with his father.
