Strangest thing happened... Leading up to the concert I wasn't very excited to see Kanye. Prior to this show I had seen him four times throughout his career at different times and I was kinda over it all. The second I walked into the arena last night I felt like a kid the night before Christmas. I was so pumped for him to get on stage I couldn't contain my excitement. Why? I love Dark Twisted Fantasy, big fan of Watch The Throne and I generally just thought, shit, I think Kanye IS BACK... and definitely because I couldn't wait to lose my shit to All of The Lights (see the video below, how could you not?). Yeezy split his show into 3 acts and the first act was by far the best, belting out some of his sickest tracks like Dark Fantasy, Power, Touch The Sky, Jesus Walks etc. I was losing it. Then Kanye lost me. Act 2 was all about his 808's and Heartbreak phase and it really fizzled. I like Heartless but that whole act was just depressing. Ye, you're not John Legend, stop singing about women like that. A real come down from Act 1. Act 3 picked it back up a little, I think that's when he played All of The Lights which was FUCKING UNREAL (again, see the video below!) but he killed me with his 3 hour rendition of Runaway. Good song but just played that shit way too long. Kanye, Imma let you finish, actually, no, just stop pressing that fuckin 'who got ya?' sample button on your drum machine. Fuck. (and no tracks from Watch the Throne! No N***as in Paris? FUCK!)
As a whole, I think three and half stars is a decent rating for the show but the highs were so fucking high that I've left this show ridiculously satisfied last night. Best three-and-a-half star performance ever.
