Patti LaBelle hails Kanye West

LaBelle praises Kanye West for telling the truth.

Last year Mr. West said that the president Bush doesnt care about black people.

Patti LaBelle said to MTV; "Kanye is somebody who I really love. He says things people should listen to. Rap does not have to be what some people perceive it's about. They think it's gonna be nasty, lowdown and dirty when it's just telling the truth about life itself. "You heard what Kanye said about the president - you know the boy tells nothing but the truth."
