You know why?'Cause y'all been lied to. Facebook lied to you. Google lied to you. Radio lied to you. F--- you, radio. I'm on my Trump s--- tonight, I'm taking his lead. [...] It's a nevw world, Hillary Clinton. It's a new world. Feelings matter. Because guess what? Everybody in middle America felt a way, and they showed you how they felt. If you keep following old models, your ass is going to get Hillary Clinton'd. [...] There's a Richard Pryor interview that you can watch about people coming into power and not changing anything, just becoming a part of the power That's happening with musicians because they're scared. I'm not scared. I'm here to change things. I'm not always going to say things the perfect way. I'm going to say it how I feel. Right now, press, get ready to write your passive- aggresive, LeBron James, racist comments. Get ready, because the show is over Literally /our guy/.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/001/195/048/502.jpg "/our guy/")
