Entertainment Weekly writer Chris Willman recently reviewed Kanye’s ‘Glow In The Dark Tour’. He gave the concert a B+ but Kanye wasnt pleased with the review.
Excerpts from Willman’s review (read full article here)
So his only companion, the disembodied voice of his talking spaceship, Jane, tried some brownnosing: ”We need the brightest star in the universe — you, Kanye! Only you can bring us home. You can glow in the dark!” Cue the rousingly Nietzschean ”Stronger.” In space, no one can hear you scream, but if you’re West, everyone will hear you self-actualize.
Okay, so he’s a nut. Still, West’s commitment to communicating inner passions and identity crises is so consuming it nearly redeems any conceptual hokeyness.
West may not allow other folks on stage during his set, but he’s generously assembled the most potent opening lineup in recent touring history, even if they don’t all maximize their potential.
Kanye’s Response
Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; don’t come to my show. For what?! To try to throw yall to cents in? Yall rated my album sh*tty and now yall come to the show and give it a B+. What’s a B+ mean? I’m an extremist. It’s either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fu*k you and the whole fu*king staff!!!
I know I shouldn’t dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can’t have fun and loose yourself at this tour it’s a good chance you’re a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore.
Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bi*ch!!! You don’t know sh*t about passion and art. You’ll never gain credibility at this rate. You’re fu*king trash! I make art. You can’t rate this. I’m a real person. I’m not a pop star. I don’t care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you’re not invited and if you see me… BOW!!! This is not pop, it’s pop art! Chris Willman, kill yourself!
