Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting baby number two, but that hasn’t done much to silence critics of the marriage.
In fact, rapper Uncle Luke seems to think Kanye marrying Kim has hurt Hip Hop’s culture.
He tells WatchLOUD:
“It used to be a difference. Before Kanye West, rappers weren’t wifing all these hoes. Rappers would be secure with their woman. When you look at Ice Cube, he’s always been with his wife. You look at Will Smith – he’s always been with [Jada Pinkett Smith]. Hip Hop was different. We didn’t get caught up in the Hollywood thing.”
Check out the video below. The Kimye talk starts at the 0:50 mark:
Honestly Kanye is just an idiot for allowing that whole family to use him. And his stock has gone down ever since he got with Kim. It’s sad to see because he has put out some really great music. But oh well. It’s his life to mess up.
Kanye really wants Beyonce so he’s been trying his damnedest to turn his tramp of a wife into Beyonce. The problem is the most she can do is buy Instagram followers and take selfies all day. She can’t put out music. She can’t go on tour. She can’t sell out shows. She can’t earn a Grammy. I mean what can she do besides get naked on the gram every other day? If you want a Beyonce, you can’t settle for a p-rn star.
Not one lie was told either. Kanye really turned a hoe into a housewife. And now their daughter will grow up in a family full of hoes. That’s sad as hell because as you can see, no one who grows up in the family amounts to anything more than desperate attention whoring loser. Every little “accomplishment” Kim has was bought. And she’s always caught lying about her accomplishments too. She has no talent to earn real accolades.
Luke shouldn’t even waste his breath because her little simpleton stans vocabulary doesn’t go beyond bitter and hater. The more the media and everyone else ignores Kimye, the better off we’ll be. Attention is what they live for never mind if it’s bad or good.
I’m sorry, he sounds ignorant! He did not answer the question. Besides back in the day people relied on magazines for publicity. Publicity stunts have always been in since the beginning of time. The difference now is that the internet arrived and the ability to reach a mass of people without having to buy anything except to pay your internet bill or get on someone else’s wifi has become the evolution of what Publicity is today. So to speak on what was happening back in the day is stoneage as to evolving what is going on today. There were hoes/thots/groupies back in the day and Yes some were getting married to the rich and famous. It just was not in the publicity arena as there is today.
He has to keep in mind that only simps and gold diggers think Kimye are some outstanding couple. Everyone else can see Kim is using Kanye and she brings nothing to the table besides that hideous booty she paid for. They will never get respect.
I don’t remember who it was but somebody on here said Kanye doesn’t mind Kim’s hoeness because she’s not black. But he required the absolute most from his black ex girlfriends. All his black exes had to be college educated and classy. But he’s hyping up Kim for being naked on Instagram all the time. He clearly has lower standards for nonblack women. So how black people defend Kimye I’ll never understand.
Rappers went from marrying Jada Pinkett to Kim Kardashian. I shudder when I think about the difference.
I think silently a lot of rappers agree with him. When Kanye first got with Kim, a lot of rappers were throwing shade. They aren’t as vocal now, but when they talk about people they admire, they say Jay Z and Beyonce. Not Kim and Kanye. They want their equal. Not a talentless attention whore who needs her man to get her all of her wins. Beyonce can win on her own. Kim actually needs Kanye.
It’s interesting that he uses Ice Cube’s wife and Jada as examples. Ice Cube met his wife in high school I believe while Jada and Will are both equally talented and successful actors. I think Luke’s point is rappers believed in marrying women they knew for years and before the fame, or they married women of equal status to build with. They didn’t marry women who made a career out of using men. Those women were supposed to just be flings. Nothing more.
Tell them how you really feel Uncle Luke. LOL.
Ain’t Kanye gay? That’s why he wasn’t against marrying a famous whore. His marriage to Kim works. She uses his fashion connects to get Vogue covers she couldn’t get on her own, and he gets to look straight while his boyfriend lives on Paris.
He’s entitled to his views. But as usual, people see what they want to. I think Kim gets defended a little too much when she’s done all the dirt she’s done to people. Mainly black people.
Did Yeezus ever go platinum in sales?
I think Luke earned his right to say what he wants to about the current rappers. Things are very different today. Back in the day, people like Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian would not become wives to prominent rappers. I mean it’s just the truth. Was this rude to say? Yes but it doesn’t make it any less true.
*sighs*
He is uncouth.
A mess. Kanye better not even try to clap back because Luke is about that life.
I think people want to believe Kim has changed but nope, she really hasn’t. If Kanye ever falls off and no longer pulls in that A list rank, she will be on to the next.
Kanye can marry whoever he wants to and he chose Kim. I think people hate her because she’s winning on a level they don’t think is fair. But don’t be mad at her, be mad at how easy social media has made it for talentless people to become famous. Granted a black reality star will never be as big but it is what it is.
Love it
Y’all just won’t let the Kardashians be great! *giggles*
These comments though!
Luke ain’t say one lie.
LOL. It goes to show you that hoeness really can’t be deleted. No matter how many magazine covers Kim buys, she will always be the hoe people remember from the tape.
Not people getting mad at on old school rapper saying we shouldn’t be putting hoes on a pedestal. Ain’t that what most of y’all have been whining about on here? Now a few of you are mad he actually said it? Weirdos.
He stated facts. Next!
Kanye completely morphed into a Kardashian. Now he gets the Vanguard award and watch it turn into the Kardashian show. He’s stupid because he sits back and lets the Kardashians take his accomplishments and turn them into their own. His mom raised him better than this.
Luke spoke no lies. LL Cool J is another prime example, he married his childhood sweetheart Simone. They been together since the beginning of Doorknockers & Gold Rope Chains #BlackLove #REALLove
Don’t forget the Kardashians kill careers. So it’s just sad to see black men still running after them.
So where’s the lie?
I’m not team Kardashian or anything like that, but who is to tell anyone who to marry. I’m sure loads of commenters have been with some people that wasn’t the best man or woman and people talked about you and told you they were no good or this and that. I don’t think Kanye did an injustice by marrying Kim. Kim and her family I hope haven’t manipulated and controlled these men, they are in these relationships because they want to be. Hip Hop hasn’t been tainted due to going Hollywood, its tainted due to the quality of music these people make, and if you want to blame that on who you marry, well maybe a lot of rappers need to be checked.
