Skit #3

Kanye West

This was founded years ago

By broke slaves, years ago

Who did not have, years ago

By broke brothas in the 20s, years ago

Who did not have when we could not eat

Hmm, remember that?

Eating all of our cereal with forks because we wanted to save the milk, do you remember that? Hmm?

Do you remember all those Christmases when your Mama walked in the room and pretended she was the tree, huh?

Remember that?

About this Song

Skit #3 by Kanye West is a short, humorous interlude from his album where he critiques materialism and exaggerated ego. The skit, performed by a fictional fraternity called 'Broke Phi Broke,' satirizes how people often prioritize appearances and possessions over financial stability. Key themes include the pressure to uphold appearances, financial irresponsibility, and societal expectations. There are particularly poignant moments when the fraternity members humorously admit to not having basic necessities, emphasizing the absurdity of pretending to live a lavish lifestyle while being financially broke.
