Kanye West, in the midst of a wide-ranging Twitter rant about his new album, The Life of Pablo, being $53 million in debt and his preferred music streaming service, on Wednesday issued a call to lower the cost of textbooks. West tweeted an anecdote about a friend who, making $370 a day, has to work two days in order to afford a single textbook for her son. "Education puts Americans into debt before they even get a chance to get started," West tweeted. "We have to lower the price of textbooks … I’d rather teachers got paid more and books cost less." West capped the anecdote with the hashtag #2020, presumably a reference to his previously stated intent to run for president in four years.
