Get A 'Make Chicago Great Again' Hat With Your Kanye West CD

Two things you can set your watch two in contemporary America: 1) Kanye West will offer controversial ways to self-promote, and 2) Donald Trump will be roundly and deservedly mocked. So call it a case of chocolate in the peanut butter that Def Jam announced on Wednesday that a limited-edition release of West’s great debut, The College Dropout, will come packaged with a “Make Chicago Great Again” hat, modeled of course on the preferred headwear of xenophobe apologists the land over.

It may not be world’s most original GOP shot fired, but the localism warms our hearts nonetheless.

As FiveThirtyEight brilliantly chronicled in July, Trump has long been a lyrical point of reference in hip-hop, including in some of Kanye’s work. Pretty much across the board, those references predictably soured.

The bundle is available through FYE here.
