4:39Now PlayingThe Grammys happened last night and Kanye West did not win a Grammy. He did go on a Twitter rant to talk about how white publications should not talk about rap or hip hop music because they don’t know what it’s like to be a dependent of a black slave. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

The rapper asked 'Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times' to 'not comment on black music anymore,' called Puff Daddy 'the most important cultural figure in my life,' said 'don't understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves' and also noted that the 'system is designed for colored people to fail and one of our only voices is music.'
He also revealed that his album will never go on sale and will only ever be available on Tidal, the digital music service which is subscription based and owned by his friend Jay Z and other music artists.
