Amid the whirlwind of debate around his support of President Donald Trump, Kanye West dropped a new track late Friday on Los Angeles hip-hop station Power 106 that plays like a political debate between himself and rapper T.I. “Ye v The People” isn’t out on any official channels yet, but Hip Hop DX has posted a radio rip. The lyrics, courtesy of Genius, represent a sincere and passionate conversation on U.S. politics and identity. The pair touch on police brutality, polarization and Trump’s vast unpopularity among people of color, and it doesn’t end with the two sides coming together. But the rapper’s messages also led to criticism from some of his closest friends; he posted texts from John Legend as one example.
