Blood Diamonds

On the remix to his “Diamonds Are Forever,” 'Ye expresses his hate for Sierra Leone's brutal diamond trade. "Good morning, this ain't Vietnam, still / People lose hands, legs, arms for real." Kanye goes on to do some soul-searching later in the verse: "I thought my Jesus Piece was so harmless / 'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless." Not that he's against wearing jewelry, but Kanye lets hip-hop's favorite jeweler know that he definitely doesn't want any blood diamonds. “These ain't conflict diamonds, is they Jacob?/Don't lie to me, man," he raps on the cut. Rest assured that none of the jewels flickering on him have anything to do with that struggle.
