“…As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still…”
Excerpt from “Alone” by Edgar Allen Poe.

A top the mountain.

Atlanta – December, 2013

A mountain, a mask, and a fashion of playing to an audience while hiding behind something…

In one of the strangest performances that I have witnessed since Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s opening for Nine Inch Nails, Chicago artist, Kanye West returned to the city of his birth with The Yeezus Tour in support of the aforementioned 2013 album. Poised to present his first solo tour in 5 years (previously touring with his Glow In The Dark Tour featuring Rihanna, N.E.R.D., Lupe Fiasco, and Nas) with opening act Kendrick Lamar.

An elaborately choreographed presentation spanning Kanye’s College Dropout, Late Registration, with some focus on Graduation, but, to my liking, taking the majority of the direction from Yeezus, and 808 & Heartbreak and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with preceded it, the tour arrived amid the inordinate press that has been known to follow Kanye since 2007. Recent remarks, and blowups have litter current media with talking points regarding the Chicago artist have also followed with the “Talk My Shit,” interludes that now litter dates of his tour.

20131204-155825.jpg

Ye in action.

The performance intelligently began with Yeezus content, with Yeezy perched atop a mountain with a moon like video board that tempered the climate of the show, whether creating a moon effect, displaying weather, or giving a close up of the performance. Though Kanye, tends to project a larger than life persona, the use of four ornate masks, he plays a high energy show, allowing a separation between he and his audience. Kanye conceals himself for 85% – 90% of the performance. The anonymous and uniform theme is extended to the female dancers and male extras who are covered in full bodysuits, allowing all attention to be focused on the act, Kanye himself.

Legally and Illegally
Ha
You know what I’m talkin’ ’bout
So, check it out

[Verse 1]
First got it when he was six
Didn’t know any tricks
Matter fact
First time he got on it he slipped
Landed on his hip and bust his lip
For a week he had to talk with a lisp
Like this
Now we can end the story right here
But shorty didn’t quit it was something in the air
Yea
He said it was somethin’ so appealing
He couldn’t fight the feelin’
Somethin’ about it
He knew he couldn’t doubt it
Couldn’t understand it
Brand it, since his first kickflip he land it
Uh
Labeled a misfit, abandoned
Ca-kunk, ca-kunk, kunk
His neighbors couldn’t stand it, so
He was banished to the park
Started in the morning wouldn’t stop till after dark
Yea
When he said it’s getting late in here
So “I’m sorry young man there’s no skating here”

(Kanye)
Hey, Do you have any black inside you/
Would you like some, like some?/
You know you got a right to/ do whatever you like to/ don c, we got the right one, the right one/ in the club, always the flyest/ always got her hands the highest/ she stopped drinking diet coke, she on that coke diet/ she bat she bat her eyelids/ that girl is so wired/ I know she so tired/ but oooh she on fire/ hundred dollar bill, look at you look at you/ a hundred dollar bills, this aint new this aint new/ from that paris, lindsey, britney, mary-kate, and whitney/ people say that they clean, motherf–ker don’t bulls–t me/

(Chorus)
All the girls standing in line for the bathroom (2x)
All the girls standing in the, all the girls standing in the
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom

(Pharrel)
You left yo n—a home, you said you at your sisters/
You and your girlfriends wrong, you in here taking pictures/
You aint gotta tell us you spending daddy’s cash/
Your girlfriends jealous, you got the fattest ass/
One down to p, one trying to leave/
It’s hot as f–k but you dying just to ski/
It’s clear as black and white, like a fat panda/
Your brain is magic city, your nose is atlanta/
I said think about your future, you can’t do that tomorrow/
But you don’t hear a word, you see that SLR/ you like,”hey, pharrel, I aint trying to kill your mood/ but I can do the star trak sign, see, killer dude.”/

Blue Lines, Frank Abagnale, Hip-Hop Quotable Wednesdays, Key Yemaya Walker, Lupe Fiasco, Mean & Vicious

Uh
He’s meannnnnn
and vicious
I cant believe he’s that rude
To those stories those rhymes that J–
Then he put ’em on the floor like cat food
And put ’em on the track like glue
Then put ’em on your head like hat
Hey back to you lou black power
I’m just running with a barrel full of black powder
With a hole in it hole in it wheezin deep, breathin
Running from the fire on the trail i keep leavin
I cant shake it i swear its heat seekin
I keep seekin somewhere to hide from it i can die from it
But it keep keepin up just when i think that I’ve done it
It keep sneakin up
Ohh leakin barrel of black powder how that flame keep reachin us
Just one of the long rended extended metaphors I lose
This time I use an example of a fuse
to demonstrate how i cant lose
I would put it down but i cant due to the glue
that i use the fuse everything together
well i spill some on my hands
and God Damn i might have to carry this forever
Well I’m crazy to the game till they bury me insane

Back from the refreshing days when Lupe first came on the scene, over the instrumental of N.E.R.D.’s “Maybe.”

Yo
Hold it now
Uh
Get up and walk up to her and say
(Go over there)
Hi, that’s all you gotta do is say hi
That’s all you gotta do, say hi

Well, I know I’m not the coolest
And this might sound kind of foolish
‘Cause I know I’m not the smoothest
Told myself I shouldn’t do this

‘Cause I’m not very well suited
Not the popularist of students
We ain’t in the same crowd
Always see you with the hoopers

But we got the same lunch
You might see me with the cooler
That’s ’cause I don’t eat pork
You can never be sure
Oh, you like Linkin’ Park
That’s the hat from the tour Continue reading →

Directed by Va$htie
(Lupe Fiasco)
Yeah, Just a lil bit (just a lil bit) And it goes
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Bought a big house and a whole lot of ranges
A fresh new couch and a whole lot of trainers
A closet full of clothes and some brand new dangers
And
Some Mexican floral arrangers
A great big TV that’ll entertain us
Some colorful commissions for some high paid painters
Someone to take the wrap so that I stay stainless
And
A new relationship with a banker
Two pinky rings for my manicured fingers
A trained German Shepard that bark when it’s angered
To watch my possessions and look out for strangers

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998.
