Kanye Tells Spin: I Don’t Want Black People Credit
Posted by Bossip Staff
Kanye West is featured in this month’s issue of Spin Magazine. Check out this quote below:
“I’m a pop enigma. I live and breathe every element in life. I rock a bespoke suit and I go to Harold’s for fried chicken. It’s all these things at once, because, as a tastemaker, I find the best of everything. There’s certain things that black people are the best at and certain things that white people are the best at. Whatever we as black people are the best at, I’m a go get that. Like, on Christmas I don’t want any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house, I don’t want my credit to look black.”
SMH.

THATS WHATS UP!!!
AWW DOING MY MARTIN DANCE!!!! BIOTCHES!!
dude is straight sick!!!SMH
top 5 ?
he aint lying about that white and black shit
“on Christmas I don’t want any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house, I don’t want my credit to look black.”
UM…yea…LMAO…i don’t know WHAT to say…
lmao @ FAW! girl you’ll say any ol shit to be first huh? I aint mad at you tho, being first on Bossip is a full time job (and I should know!)
The passing of Kanye’s mum is still fresh so I’ma lay off the full hateration but but smh at the racial stereotyping in his comment. I know plenty of black folk who know how to handle they business and money so he need to quit wid that shit. But hey, its Kanye, he’s always comin out wid some obnoxious & outrageous shit…guess thats why we love the dude!
all my love
MJ
Damn, B’Mama. I’m drawing a blank on that one too!
Thats the most ignorant shit I have heard published…JAW DROPPED…But it makes sense LOL.
Ibn
dammit why i put in two “buts”. make it look like i got a damn stammer stammer
Well I can’t blame him. I just got my first apt by myself a few months back and when I applied they do a credit check. Next day the lady said everything was fine and I could come in to sign the lease. I did and on my way out a black lady that works for them said “did you get the apt?” I told her yes and she said “really, you passed the credit check?” My ppl, my ppl…
I know a few yts with bad credit - they filed bankruptcy. Lol…
People trip me out with this yt & Black ish…
Every race has stragglers - come on.
everything he said made perfect sense. no matter how ppl are going to take it
he is right about our community and credit, but he is still generalizing too much though. Waits for all the psuedo Malcom X and Sistah Soulja’s to hop up in here.
He just talking real shit without thinking about how much pub(good or bad) he gone get. Me personally I think my boy Ye is an undercover fag. REAL NIGGAS LOOK AT THIS SILLY ASS NIGGA AND TELL ME YOU DON’T THINK HE A FAG. But Bossip is the bigger hoes for taking some inflammatory shit totally OUT OF CONTEXT. Is it just me or is he always trying to say shit that he thinks is going to get some controversey going on? And he look extra “how you doin’” on that cover.
Yeah, I’m going to give him a pass since his mother just passed…….
Also he might have just been trying to be funny now that I think about it.
When did kanye say all this? I HOPE THIS IS AN OLD QUOTE
& THAT HE’S NOT THINKING ABT TRIVAL ISH SO SOON AFTER HIS MOM’S PASSING?
man kanye is my dude, but this comment is uncalled for…Why do these niggas speak without thinkin.. SMDH
WTF??? And white people don’t have bad credit?? I let out a long sigh after reading this shit. This is straight up foolishness. Plain fuckin’ dumb. Wow, we can’t catch a break for shit.. Always being lumped into one bad fuckin’ category, time after time. Kanye, if u reading this, u just don’t know, how bad u disapointed me with bullshit you just spewed..This is how stereotypes continue to live on. SMH..
Well, I’m no psuedo Sistah Souljah, but I will stand up in a New York second when it comes to my Black people, because although there are some ppl out here who are ashamed of their gift of Blackness, but I love it! I embrace my Blackness and I love (and I do mean “LOVE” Black people) POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Awww, shit, don’t get me started!
why the fvk ppl are going to get mad. Comedian talk about black ppl credit all the time in their jokes and everyone laugh
fuck kanye west , blab, blab, he is just a talking fucking donkey, tell kayne west, i dont be seeing 2many white folks buying his silly ass CDs, i dont hear white floks playing his song on their station.
i guess the blacks spend 2 much of their money buying his cds…shit that could fuck up a credit. I just cant stand these motherfuckers rappers who think that their shit is tight….if he wasnt were he is today ..his credit be fucked up 2 ( I never like kanye West) and i dont think he could rap either….
@Mary J Blige
lmao @ FAW! girl you’ll say any ol shit to be first huh? I aint mad at you tho, being first on Bossip is a full time job (and I should know!)
——————————————————GIRL I LIVE TO BE FIRST,,I GOT TO BREATHE IT
LIVE IT , KNOW IT,,LOL
@helltothenaw
Get over it…His opinion…You just make sure you can get a loan when you go to the bank…Cause if not, he is talking about you! LOL
MY CREDIT AINT PERFECT….LOL
lol being in college at a predominantly white college, i have white friends that live off their credit. They just be running up their bill and not paying that shit, getting calls at all times of the night… This nigga knows nothing about gentrification and the “new” racism in the lending market…Fuck Him
Are you serious?
I know a few yts with bad credit - they filed bankruptcy. Lol…
People trip me out with this yt & Black ish…
Every race has stragglers - come on.
Yeah every race has ppl with bad credit we all know that but there are more blacks with bad credit than whites. Before somebody asks “where are your facts?” LOOK AROUND. The majority of buisnesses owned in this country are by white ppl, that includes, grocery stores, clothing stores, jewelry stores, broadcast companies, and magazine companies.
You Wish
@helltothenaw
Get over it…His opinion…You just make sure you can get a loan when you go to the bank…Cause if not, he is talking about you! LOL
lol^^^^^
its funny how a black man would say black ppl have bad credit….i mean blacks are starting to make it real easy for racist whites…i know whites who can throw down in the kitchen and i know blacks with exceptiona1 credit..whats next??
MY CREDIT AINT PERFECT….LOL
^^^
*spits out prune juice*
@ gimme a break
Actually white folk did by his cd…Why you think he went #1? Don’t we were the ones that put him there…White suburbia buys more hip-hop then any other race…
Mary J Blige

LOL “PRUNE JUICE??
I HOPE YOU DIDN’T SPIT IT OUT BOTH WAYS..IF SO ..SORRY..LOL

You are right about it.^^^ On top of that why are soo many ppl upset. Anybody on here that has ever seen Kings or Queens of Comedy or Def Comedy Jam knows that black ppl say this type of shit and worse. He didn’t say ALL black ppl or ALL white ppl. Damn, y’all some sensitive ass ppl. My credit score is pretty good for someone my age who didn’t get any help so I’m not offended cuz he ain’t talking about me. Seems like someone’s feelings are hurt.
@ are you serious– Every race has stragglers - come on.
thats going on my quote wall, uh, now. lol.
Ignorance personified. Bad credit is not race specific. Black people are not the only race of people that can cook.
Kanye with comments like these, i may have to put you in the Coon category and after you were raised by a DR.
If white suburbia is spending their money making
Kanye West #1 all i have to say
WHAT A FUCKING WASTE !!!!!!
YOU WISH
I just wish he stops feeding into the race bs. OK yeah it’s a factor in everyday life…But come on…let it be about something substantial…
YT’s can cook, so can blacks, some have good credit, some don’t. If you are going to talk, talk about something real Kanyezzy!
You Wish
@helltothenaw
Get over it…His opinion…You just make sure you can get a loan when you go to the bank…Cause if not, he is talking about you! LOL
^^^Naw, I won’t get over it.. This fool has a public platform and he sayin’ stupid shit like this, he has the ability to affect a lot impressionable minds yound and old. And I say that beacuse not everyone thinks for themselves.. Its so easy to get into an e-beef with you, but I’m not going there. Just as he has his opinion. I have mine.
hello everybody
@FAW, i see you put my boo’s picture back up….lol
I can’t co-sign with Kanye because i know a lot of white folks with jacked up credit.
And I gotta agree with Bones Jordan,
Only bitch ass niggas whine on camera about not being the opening act.

@And…”The majority of buisnesses owned in this country are by white ppl, that includes, grocery stores, clothing stores, jewelry stores, broadcast companies, and magazine companies.”
lol and how many of those companies outside of google and internet related companies have started after 1965??? lol not many. Most of the fortune 500 companies such as magazines and grocery stores started at a time when we as blacks were sharecroppers only..i.e. post-restoration.
Please people don’t speak unless you know what the fuck you are talking about
@ AND…
These people kill me on here…LOL
Stop all the HATE…
But like K West said…
“You see, if you even wanted to ever be anything
There’d always be somebody that shoot down any dream
There’ll always be haters, that’s the way it is
Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids”
lol @ MJB
ASK KENDU IF HE CAN HELP ME WRITE TO MY CREDITORS SO I CAN CLEAR MY CREDIT….HOOK A SISTER UP
And…
Was that whole retort for me? I didn’t say that much.
Deep…facts, generals, wow. You fixed me.
*Another thing we know is there are people with no credit.
FUCK KANYE HE NEEDS A CHECKUP FROM THE NECKUP.MY CREDIT IS’NT BAD SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FUNNY DRESSING PUNK IS SAYING.WE BUY HIS SHIT NOT ME THO I’M NOT STUPID.THIS FAKE OVER EMOTIONAL PUSSY IS LIKE BRIAN GUMBLE FOR SALE TO WHITE AMERICA.
@Strong Black Man
I do know what the hell I’m talking about b/c he just validated it. If you don’t want or can’t talk about this then don’t but just b/c you don’t like it, it doesn’t change the facts. Get at me…
Damned Grandfather Clause….
I don’t blame Kanye, when I rode in the ambulance, the EMT tech asked for my insurance care, because I was unresponsive she asked me again and then gave when 1 example she said DO YOU HAVE YOUR MEDICAIDE CARD. I lean up and wanted to choke that white bitch. Not every black person is on MEDICAIDE, I have reg, insurance, I am still mad about that. Please God erase the sterotypes. ISSMH!

Damn the truth must hurt!

Jay-z was said to be found at a millionaire&celebs club ‘Meet Rich,com’ not long before, and he was hot there.Quite a few girls and ladies wrote to him.

Kendu???ROTFLMAO!!! Girl quit playin, you know damn well Kendu would be bankrupt if it wasn’t for me. I’m tired of that kneegrow always perpertrating he got stacks and insisting on payin for the bill when he know damn well thats my Amex card he handing the waitress. smh
*slams laptop shut as Kendu strolls in*
I SAY!!
I SAY!!
SINCE KANYE SAY ALL US NICCAS ARE BROKE WITH NO CREDIT
LETS ALL BUY HIS SHIT BOOTLEG FORM HUSTLEMAN!!
YEAH THAT THE TICKET
3 FOR 10 PASS 2 TO A FRIEND
It’s a good thing Don Imus didn’t say that shit. Reverend Al would have lost his damned mind waiting to get a piece of that action.
@ helltothanaw
An “e-beef”? LOL…If you don’t sit your internet thug-ass down somewhere and act like you got some damn sense…I’m just saying that man has a right to his own opinion…If you aren’t that why are you getting upset? I’m tired of people looking for to entertainers to solve the world…Yes they have platforms, but that doesn’t mean they don’y have opinions…
@ FiyahCrotch
How can you put anybody in a Coon category with a name like “FiyahCrotch”? I’m just saying…
The person’s impersonation of Mary J. Blige +another person impersonating the former Mary J Blige = Pure Comedy. Bossip please give these people some free tickets to her show. Given the STAR access power you have and all. All the Mary J commentary is very hard to keep of with, c’mon be a good sport.
A True Gem

I know how you feel that ish kills me but I can’t control how ppl think I just try to prove them wrong.
@ Strong Black Man…… What’s up bro? May I ask your age and where you go to school @?
The difference between comedians on BET, and Kanye West is that Kanye isn’t a frigging comedian.
That was the stupidest comment ever. Black people can make his CHICKEN, but he doesn’t want to appear black credit wise? WTF.
Negro you are BLACK. So your credit reflects that of a black man. And hopefully that credit is good.
Most motherfriggin negroes DO not have bad credit, including the negroes in the inner city.
Negroes in the inner city tend to have NO credit. And the only way to establish your credit is to BUILD it from somewhere.
So the stupid negro on the corner hustling doesn’t have a credit card because, idiot, he uses cash. He doesn’t take checks or credit cards for drug purchases. (I’m telling a story here, keep in mind I’m NOT stating this is the life of all or even the majority of negroes.) So now what happens to the stupid hustlers credit, nothing! Why? CAUSE HE HAS NONE. You can’t make something bad that you don’t have.
The mama struggling in the inner city working two jobs and can’t make ends meet, uses her money on what? BILLS. Rent. Gas. Electric. Again, never establishing credit. Renting furniture from rent-a-center does NOT establish credit.
That is all. Asshole West.

Let’s not even get into predatory lending, and how interest rates are higher for negroes with the purpose of charging more.
Check out subprime mortgage and you’ll find a lot of hispanics even effected by this. Giving people loans for million dollar homes that work as cleaners. Default.Default.

ignorant generalizations like these further separates black people from the rest of the free world. we as for equality and unity but we constantly divide our selves by perpetuating stupid stereotypes.
@Strong Black Man
1. You missed my whole point.
2. I can see you are unable to talk about this w/o your feelings gettting involved so I’ll just talk to the grown ups.
Damn shame you can’t even cyber chat with folks. *smh*
Ummmmmm I want Kanye’s credit….sista needs new appliances. Is that inter-racism since I’m black too? LOL
lol “are you stupid ho”???
Bloomberg Corporation- started 1981…how many blacks outside of media, had the ability and assets to make a risk such as starting their own “publsihing company”…shit basically we just getting started…Bob Johnson made the leap in 1987 with B.E.T.

@ SBM, sir could you answer my question, I don’t know if you gotta chance to c my post. I just wanna know your age and where you go to school @. You seem like you got some knowledge.
What is your comment to me strong black man? I’m confused.
That’s a very ignorant stereotypical statement. I like Kanye but he should educate himself more before making stupid ass comments like that.
CANT BLACK NICCAS AND WHITE NICCAS JUST GET ALONG AND DONT WORRY BE HAPPY (WHISTLING OOOH OOH OOH OO OO OO OO OO OOH)
FineAsWine
CANT BLACK NICCAS AND WHITE NICCAS JUST GET ALONG AND DONT WORRY BE HAPPY (WHISTLING OOOH OOH OOH OO OO OO OO OO OOH
SMDH^^^^ now that damn song is stuck in my head.
I NEVER LIKED KANYE, BUT THOSE TYPES OF COMMENTS MAKE YOU REALLY DISLIKE PEOPLE LIKE THAT. HE WANTS TO COME OFF AS SO REAL AND POSITIVE BUT THAT WAS SO STEREOTYPICAL OF HIM TO SAY. VERY DUMB ON HIS PART. SOMETIMES HE SHOULD JUST SHUT UP.
And where did Kanye make that statement? In SPIN magazine? Who reads that shit? YT! So here he is making fun of black people to an all white audience. Fuck him.
You Wish
@ helltothanaw
An “e-beef”? LOL…If you don’t sit your internet thug-ass down somewhere and act like you got some damn sense…I’m just saying that man has a right to his own opinion…If you aren’t that why are you getting upset? I’m tired of people looking for to entertainers to solve the world…Yes they have platforms, but that doesn’t mean they don’y have opinions…
^^^Let me correct you. I only responded back to you because you made the implication that the reason why I was pissy about Kanye was because he may have been referring to me. This coudn’t be farther from the truth. Furthermore, no, I don’t look to celebrities as the cure all to solve the worlds issues, we as whole have to do that. But to whom is given much power, much is expected. That was the only point I was tryin’ to make dear..
@Bones Jordan.. Oh no doubt black people are at risk to be most effected by predatory lending and at getting inadequate healthcare, but I think we fail to remember while our past is a storied one, it is also one of great obstacles posed in our direction.. Lol this place was segregated a generation a go.. It takes at least 3 to get the ball moving, so most people now who didnt have the opportunities and just don’t get it are in fact sacrificial lambs..
@AND
OOOH OOH OOH OO OO OO OO OO OOH
OOOH OOH OOH OO OO OO OO OO OOH
DONT WORRY
OOOH OOH OOH OO OO OO OO OO OOH
BE HAPPY
LOL- SORRY..LOL
okay so I’m buggin I loves me some Kanye but:
“Like, on Christmas I don’t want any food that tastes white.”
HOW THE EFF DOES YOUR FOOD TASTE WHITE?? LMMFAO it might be bland or not seasoned to your like’n…BUT how does it taste white?? LOL
@Bones Jordan..I go to University of Florida..I’m 21 and I study Political Science with 2 minors…philosophy and pre-law…I just get amped up when comments like this are made especially from people who have an audience…you have the whole world in your hands and you waste it…
I have good credit…and i’m a negra
I aint mad at Kanye for that comment, Bossip why you shaking your head, he’s right. Well at least in my opinion.
Irrespective if Kayne is speaking what HE thinks or believes is HIS truth. If anyone can’t see how he is generalizing for a whole racial/ethnic community and perpetuating stereotypes and bias you’re just as ignorant as him. What the h*ll is “Black credit”. Someone please define that? By saying things like that, he only makes it harder for Black people who do have good credit or that Brotha and Sistah out there trying to become financially independent/self-sufficient by discrediting our value and work ethics.
where I live (cle OHIO) people always assume your using a ebt card(foodstamp) the black and white cashiers.they always act shocked if you don’t.
We hate on our on too
Strong Black Man
@Bones Jordan..I just get amped up when comments like this are made especially from people who have an audience…you have the whole world in your hands and you waste it…
^^^^That’s all i’m sayin’ brother. For real, why can’t ppl see that? Kanye,has the power to affect millions with his words, but he chooses to say dumb shit like this.
@ Strong Black
I have a ??? you look like the kind of man that likes white women ONLY am I wrong? You did just call a black woman a ho.
Well good for you young man. Keep up the good shit. I only asked dog, cuz you seem like you smart but YOU KNOW YOU’RE SMART. You feel me? I can get happy and amped when there is a passionate discussion as well. I like your thoughts doggy, kick back maine….. I got a question for you and all my other homies on this board? Did you see the MJ interview the other day on ESPN? They showed him practicing with the B’Cats and shit…. He still got game @ 45!!! Anyway, the ESPN bloggers was sayin he looked and sounded drunk and blowed. I totally disagree but thing is I saw the interview the next day and he seemed like the same MJ I’ve known and loved for years. Did yall see it and if so did y’all pick up on that or is it just me thinkin them whiteboy bloggers over @ ESPN is just hating on Mike-post Juanita. Holla.
You would THINK the unexpected death of this man’s mother would have HUMBLED him as God probably intended…but NOOOOOOOO, NOT KANYE. When will people like him learn??? God does not play.
i see why people are bothered by kanye saying dumb shit on such a public platform, but i dont see why people are still suprised moronic things that come out of his mouth. The guy is a producer/rapper dont look for kayne to be solving world problems anytime soon or saying anything enlightening. as a matter of fact i wouldnt even look for kanye to be coming back to do charity for the community the way some rappers do.
@ Dee
Although I did have my experience with the lady in the ambulance, I can’t lie the cashier thing you said is TRUE. (shakes and nods head in agreeableness.)
@persona..hey you tell them.. man i feel like Lawrence Fishburn in “Boyz in the Hood”…LMMFAO…man these lending companies prey on minorities looking for their first home and i can’t blame us for fallin for it. Shit we trying to get some wealth out here. But i’m telling you sift through that bureaucracy and red tape and read that fine print cause they want us in them financial chains..
@ SBM, by the way my dude, I’m 26(just letting you know) in Detroit, and I’m in real estate working a hoe ass 9 2 5 to support my habit before I move in a few months so basically I’m like on vacation until I move. That’s how I blog with these assholes(lol, kidding) all fuckin day.
@ helltothanaw
Back to what I said before…Thats that mans opinion…His word is not in the END…
My whole family is Black and we have excellent credit. My friend who works as a Bankruptcy attorney just told me that 95% of her clients are White with bad credit. Furthermore, when these credit agencies conduct a credit analysis your race, occupation, where you live, etc. all comes into play. Teachers are given a high score to start off with because of their occupation. So I definitely question the analysis of credit scores. Kanye shouldn’t generalize though. JMHO.
okay let me try in re word his words cause we dont know what question he was asked for him to follow it with that answer! ? BUT COME ON YALL IF YOU HAD A CHOICE TO EAT SOUL FOOD WHICH ONE YOU WOULD PICK? AND IF YOU NEEDED A CO SIGNER WHICH ONE WOULD YOU PICK? BUT I HAVE GOOD CREDIT BUT WHEN I JUST JUMPED OFF THE PORCH I HAD NONE AND THAT WAS JUST ASS WORST! LETS START SAVING AND PAYING OUR BILLS ON TIME AND GETTING OUR KIDS CREDIT STARTED AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE! AND THAT WOULD FIX THIS COMMENT IN A FEW YEARS! TAKE THAT WE COMING TOGETHER ONE BLOG AT A TIME! LET GET THE MOVEMENT STARTED RIGHT! POWER TO THE PEOPLE! BLACKS AND WHITES AND EVERY OTHER CULTURE OUT THERE!

@Bones Jordan..I just get amped up when comments like this are made especially from people who have an audience…you have the whole world in your hands and you waste it…
^^^^That’s all i’m sayin’ brother. For real, why can’t ppl see that? Kanye,has the power to affect millions with his words, but he chooses to say dumb shit like this
I understand what both of y’all are saying *real talk* but seriously why are you giving Kanye sooo much credit. Like both of you and I know not all black ppl have bad credit and like Strong Black Man said b4 we came from slaves we had to start from nothing while the white man still had all the money he made off of our hard work. There are plenty of examples of ppl with power who are saying positive stuff and ppl still don’t like respect, believe, or listen to what they have to say. People are going to believe what they want to believe.
@ Bones and Strong Black Man
Although I can understand what Kanye said I also agree with you two as far as where you stand, maybe him saying what he said can serve as a WAKE UP CALL. hump!
@ H Town, fuck off religious nut…… YOU DON’T KNOW WHY HIS MOTHER PASSED….. Don’t go putting that shit on God like you called him this morning and the good Lord told you that shit. You’re actually being disrespectful bringing that shit up. Do any of y’all see Kerney Thomas @ 4am est on BET? That nigga is damn hilarious. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwddddd’s gonna heal you. LMMFBAO.
Yes he holds power…But when do we start holding power in our own damn houses? Instead of living off of what some entertainer says…The sad part is that some people come to bossip to be entertained, while others come here to live through or like somebody…But when its all said and done…Thats his opinion…Now your job is not to make it your reality…
@white woman….lol you out your moutherfucking mind…Sistah’s only sign and I have a wifey and you can already guess what race she happens to be..When they say you like women like your momma, i took that to heart, the race too hahah..
I ain’t mad at ya. I’ve been getting that a lot lately and almost getting that shocked look when my white friends see me with my girl.. SMGDH
stereotypin muthafucka, this nigga need to stop hangin out in London and shit he actually turnin white now. Hes like 55% white and 45% black we losin him somebody get the paddles before we lose him completely.
Not all blacks have bad credit, alot of whites have bad credit too so how u gonna say black credit thats just some ignorant shit how this nigga puttin his own ppl down
@Strong Black Man
@Bones Jordan..I go to University of Florida..I’m 21 and I study Political Science with 2 minors…philosophy and pre-law…

Good morning. This was your first post:
Dec 20, 2007 - 10:04 am Bones Jordan
He just talking real shit without thinking about how much pub(good or bad) he gone get. Me personally I think my boy Ye is an undercover fag. REAL NIGGAS LOOK AT THIS SILLY ASS NIGGA AND TELL ME YOU DON’T THINK HE A FAG. But Bossip is the bigger hoes for taking some inflammatory shit totally OUT OF CONTEXT. Is it just me or is he always trying to say shit that he thinks is going to get some controversey going on? And he look extra “how you doin’” on that cover
@ SBM, me too dog. I get that from SISTAS constantly. Iz yo girlfriend white, Bones?? Do you like white girls, Bones? And for the record I am 6′1, 231 lbs( built) brown and fuggin cute. So just for the sistas that’s thinkin……… well nigga, that’s cuz we don’t want yo ugly ass. B Please, it just be like that.
I think he makes sense. I’m certainly not a fan, but truth is truth.
@ And…. Thank you for clarification.
