Maaaaan. They're always something between a musical performance and a play. The YEEZUS tour was absolutely insane. Saw that in Los Angeles. Dude had this giant @$$ mountain in the middle of the stadium with this huge LCD at the top that would show all kinds of imagery. He performed the entire concert in various masks and costumes. The "story" of Yeezus revolves around American consumerism, decadence and our eventual decline into degeneracy.
My favorite moment? When he performed "Stronger," he put on a mask that also served as a disco ball. They shined a special light at him and it split the light into this massive rainbow. Was absolutely nuts man. Disco mask in upper right:
And this was the stage:
People can say whatever the f*ck they want about Kanye, dude's a straight up creative genius. My only problem? Why the HELL didn't he tour "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy???"
Like, that album is the "Kid A" of hip-hop.
So, what's his message about American consumerism? I'm trying not to judge, but it seems he married a woman at the height of said American consumerism.
