While this is true, to say that TV talk show legend Arsenio Hall dissed rapper Kanye West would be an understatement.
Hall’s rant comes as a response to Kanye West’s comment about him during a radio show.
West said,
“I can use my voice but what happens if y’all don’t buy anymore albums? People will say he was like Arsenio Hall and he’s turning up too much so now you are fired, but when you got money, can’t nobody fire you.”
Well, Arsenio didn’t like those comments too much. While at the Grammy nominations concert, Arsenio hall let a group of reporters know how he really felt about what Kanye said. #NoFilter.
“Like usual, Kanye’s premise confuses the facts so therefore everything else has to be thrown out. At the end of the day, he’s a musician and I’m a comedian. We’re not doctors. Nobody works for Johns Hopkins. You know what I mean? We’re not educators. I think we take ourselves a little too serious. But that’s something that will straighten itself out with maturity, because the bottom line is this, *mocks Kanye* ‘They gon’ do me like they did!…’ Yo man. Stop making me like I’m Nat Turner or something.”
But he didn’t stop there. He went on to diss “New Slaves”.
“I hate the word slave used in songs. Get the f–k outta here. Do you know what that word is? Do you know what that word’s all about? Nobody can use slave in pop culture. If you in the music business, you shouldn’t f–k with that word. Too serious an era. Too serious a problem in America. Using the word slave in pop culture — there’s no one that is free to move around this country that should use the word ‘slave.’ Do you know what it meant to slaves?”
