“Wake up Mr. West!”
Kanye West expressed his intention to run for president in 2020 while receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award during this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.
For all traditional Kanye West fans that is just the intro to the rapper’s “Heard ‘Em Say” song, however, it may be more of a reality for the rapper right now.
Reason being what makes Kanye think he is equipped to be the leader of the United States. What prior experience does he have? What change will he bring?
Nevertheless, even in asking all of these questions, wouldn’t it be fun to watch Kanye’s campaign in real time?
This coming on the day of the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in which Kanye stated, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”
For all that are opposed to the idea, think about this: Kanye would have a live microphone during live presidential debates.
Imagine the presidential commercials, rallies and tours. Quite frankly, if Kanye would’ve decided to run for president earlier we could have seen a pretty interesting face-off between West and Donald Trump.
It has become a proven fact that every time Kanye is given a live microphone it has turned into must-see television. Still doubting? Just look at the MTV VMAs.
It’s important to note here that he received the award on the same stage that he stole the spotlight in a drunken rage from Taylor Swift just six years prior. Ironically enough, it was Swift who presented Kanye with the award.
While his wife may be known for “breaking the internet” Kanye is known for stopping the world.
Despite the outstanding intrigue Kanye would bring to the presidential race, it is highly unlikely that Kanye would actually win.
This is coming from an outspoken rapper who is actively trying his hand in becoming a favorable fashion designer.
In the infamous “You [aren’t] the answers Sway!” interview in which Kanye went in depth of how “rich whites” will not allow a minority like himself to be viewed on the same level as them.
If Kanye thinks he was being stopped in trying to reach the pinnacle of fashion designing what are the chances that he actually can reach the pinnacle of presidency?
The “Black Skinhead” rapper has said on multiple occasions that this “system” is not set up for blacks to win.
Essentially, the game was not designed to provide fairness.
However, Kanye would have one step on the competition if he does indeed decide to run for president in 2020.
He would not have to worry about something coming to the forefront and potentially harming his presidential chances.
What can honestly be said about Kanye that hasn’t been said in one form or another?
While it seems highly unlikely Kanye would win the presidential elect vote, the popularity vote may be a different story.
Well, he does have a Bible that is no different from the Holy Bible’s book of Genesis except every mention of the word God or Jesus is replaced by either Kanye or “Yeezus.”
Nonetheless, it would be interesting to watch the events unfold, but what if Kanye was to win the election and become the 46th president of the United States?
He would become a highly regarded rapper, a successful fashion designer, in addition to becoming president.
Maybe it is true; “No one man should have all that power.”
