Kanye West New Song 'We Should Have Never, Ever Let Michael Jordan Play for the Wizards' [VIDEO] + Rapper Responds To Anti-Semitism Accusation [LISTEN]
While performing in his hometown of Chicago on Wednesday, Kanye West introduced his new song "We Should Have Never, Ever Let Michael Jordan Play for the Wizards."
Due to the lyrics of the song, it was assumed by the Chicago Tribune that Yeezus wasn't very pleased with the Bulls corporation when they let Jordan go.
Some of the lyrics go as follows:
"If we could have stopped it, we would have stopped it, why did that happen?...Six championships, the best years of our lives, claim NBA gold, every single night, I believed I could fly, and I wanted to be just like Mike, I believed I could fly and I wanted to be just like Mike... When a player wants to become an owner, when a player that’s done more for the league than the league could have done for him, when a player that made the NBA wants to become an owner of a team he brought so much glory to, a team that has his statue on the front of the ... building, but do you know what the owners of that team told MJ. You're just a player."
See his performance at the United Center below (Warning: video does contain vulgar language).
During his visit to Chi-town, West also responded to the anti-Semitism he has endured.
This started when the rapper was a guest on Power 105.1's radio show "The Breakfast Club" and said, "Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people."
When word of this got back to the Anti-Defamation League the organization said it was "classic anti-Semitism," adding "There it goes again, the age-old canard that Jews are all-powerful and control the levers of power in government."
Relive the comment in the clip below.
Yeezus defended his statement as a guest on the Chicago radio station B96 (via Radio.com).
"I don’t know how being told that you have money is like an insult," Kanye said. "That would be like if somebody complimented black guys and said, ‘All black guys have big penises.’ You don’t want to be the black guy who raises his hand and says like, ‘That’s not true. I have proof!’"
