Kanye West went on a rant asking several “white publications” to stop commenting on black music.
In a series of tweets Monday night, the 38-year-old rapper said white people don’t understand what it’s like to have slaves as ancestors.
“To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times and any other white publication,” West wrote on Twitter. “Please do not comment on black music anymore.” (RELATED: Eddie Griffin: ‘Cosby Rape Accusations Are Part Of Conspiracy To Bring Down Successful Black Men’)
To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.

“The system is designed for colored people to fail and one of our only voices is music,” West continued. “One of our only ways out is music.”
