Dipset’s Jim Jones is keeping optimism alive. The Diplomat has shared some thoughts on President-elect Donald Trump gearing up to run the country for the next four years.
Rather than bash Trump, Jimmy spoke on the importance of hoping for the best once 2017 arrives.
While taking a tour of the art show, titled “Visions of our 44th President,” the Harlem rapper shared his two cents on what things will be like once our current POTUS completes his final term. “Everybody has their own opinion of what the country is and where the country is at,” Jones says. “I think it depends on where you’re at in life with yourself.” (BET)
Maybach Music Group’s Gunplay recently spoke on Trump stealing the presidential election.
“I don’t condone what Donald Trump believes in. I don’t condone his ideology. I don’t condone, what I do respect is his business. You’re not gonna see the click bait saying, ‘Gunplay says he voted for Donald Trump,’ but he’s alright with me, man. As long as he stays in the border and the parameter of not being a total racist, which it is right now. I just hope he kind of [calms down]. … He’s a businessman. And he ain’t got no background, no political background – he bought that b*tch.” (Tim Westwood TV)

A few weeks ago, Yeezy talked about his past interest in running for the presidency in 2020.
“When I talk about the idea of being president, I’m not saying I have any political views,” he added. “I don’t have views on politics, I just have a view on humanity, on people, on the truth. If there is anything that I can do with my time and my day, to somehow make a difference while I’m alive I’m going to try to do it.”
