Kanye West Says Young Thug & Future "Need" to Be at Grammys
He also calls A$AP Rocky’s “LSD” video the best of the year.
Say what you will about Kanye West‘s “rants,” they always manage to dominate headlines and conversations. After debuting a new song with Sampha at Yo Gotti’s event last night, Kanye took to Twitter this morning to announce a new album and send off the following thoughts regarding the Grammys:
I feel the Grammy awarding system is way off and completely out of touch.

If I'm not at the show next year then there is no show.

I don't want to just fix the awards for me but I want to fix it for Dexter Navy who directed A$AP Rocky’s LSD video.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Everybody with any form of taste knows that was the best video of the year!

You like your black people a certain way also. You wouldn't have Future perform and that man owned the clubs last summer.

Has anyone at the Grammys ever heard March Madness??? Yes I have a problem with the Grammys.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
All artists have a problem with it and I am going to fix it for us all starting right now.

Neil please reach out as soon as possible so we can make the Grammys culturally relevant again.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
and always remember that rock and roll was stolen and don't try to hide behind Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis ??? all positive vibes.

First order of business. We the people need to see Future at the Grammys.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
We need to see Young Thug at the Grammys. Not just me and Jay in a suit.

Always opinionated, Yeezy definitely seems to be serious about wanting to completely rework the Grammys and its system. Elaborating on today’s “message” and responding to the negative attention he’s received from the media as of late, Yeezy tweeted:
People ask why I speak in a public forum… Well my voice is my power. Freedom of speech. Freedom of opinion. Freedom of dreams.

I'm not crazy I'm free.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
No slave mindset no more. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free.

I wrote Saint Pablo after admitting to my greatest shame my personal debt. But I'm not ashamed anymore.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
I'm proud as an entrepreneur that I gave everything I had to my dreams.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
I'm happy and free and proud and confident. I'm not crazy. I'm free
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Free from being held back by public opinion.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
It's a beautiful time. I love my friends. I love my family. I love people. The human race.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
You guys will see my heart. You guys will feel my heart. We will make a difference.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
I'm not even gon lie to you. I love me so much right now.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
The world needs a guy like me. The world needs somebody to not be scared and tell his truth.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Kanye concluded, “You won’t always agree with me but I’m gon always be me. I’m woke!
