About this episode

"With Kanye West back in the news for his forthcoming album and erratic antics in Atlanta, hosts Dope KNife and Linqua Franqa take a look back at and unpack some of the icon's controversial political stances and alliances, from his questionable comments on slavery and abortion to his team-ups with right-wing talking heads like Candace Owens and Alex Jones. Their walk down memory lane includes stops along various points of West's discography, with discussion of both its sociopolitical content and its impacts on the Hip Hop genre."
