i saved this to disk and began to watch it when it became frat party so i was not interested in going further. now i discover i should have saved it and worked past all the shucking and jiving to hear the meat of it all. seems cancel culture is fully entrenched in the empire and if you dare to cross the line you get erased. once we had a first amendment but now big brother has seemingly removed it;


Ye's interview with Revolt TV's Drink Champs was taken down from YouTube on Monday after amassing over 2 million views.

Host N.O.R.E., who spent the weekend bragging about how many views the interview got, abruptly changed his tune on Monday morning after taking heat.

"My Ye interview got more views then football haha!!!" N.O.R.E. said Sunday in a now-deleted tweet.

From Variety, "N.O.R.E. Apologizes for Airing Kanye West’s ‘Hurtful’ Antisemitic and George Floyd Comments on ‘Drink Champs’":

“I made a mistake doing the Kanye interview,” he said. “I could come out here and say this was Kanye’s thing and that’s it. And guess what? People will forgive me and I could get away with that. But that’s not what I’m doing. I feel like I failed my people. I called ‘The Breakfast Club’: because I wanted to apologize to my people.

“I want to be honest. I support freedom of speech,” he continued. “I support anybody not being censored. But I do not support anybody being hurt,” N.O.R.E told “The Breakfast Club” host Charlamagne Tha God. “I did not realize that the George Floyd statements made by Kanye on my show were so hurtful. You have to realize that it was the first five minutes of the show – like when he walked in, he told my producer that if we stop filming, he’ll walk out. So I didn’t want a Birdman moment, like when he walked out, so I wanted the man to speak.”

N.O.R.E. stressed that he did he did “check” West in regard to some of the more incendiary comments regarding George Floyd, particularly the claim that Floyd’s death was due to a Fentanyl overdose rather than police officer Derek Chauvin — who was convicted on two counts of murder and one of manslaughter. “I actually checked him about the ‘White Lives Matter’ thing too, but they were later in the episode, and I was already inebriated at that time, that maybe people looked over it. But I apologize to the George Floyd family.”..........more.........
