Kanye West Performs at Coachella 2011 (Part 1/2) from AreYouOTS.com on Vimeo.
Kanye West is by far my favorite rapper/solo artist. The man is simply a musical genius. Ever since the Taylor Swift incident, he has gotten a bad rap and the massive swift fan base waged war on him. This caused Kanye to go underground and he hasn't gone on tour or performed except for an unannounced show for the release of his new album(which was genius). Then this Coachella shindig comes along. This is like the West Coast mecca for concerts but I had never heard of it. Well Kanye performed for two hours and just absolutely KILLED IT. The man is back and he's finally performing again. I know that you probably wont watch his entire set, but if you have time or just flip through, you won't be disappointed. Love him or hate him, you cant deny that Kanye is a great musician and a showman. The guy comes out 50 feet over an ocean of screaming fans closing Cali's biggest concert. He said this was the most important show to him since his mom passed away. He dedicated it to her and you could see the passion and appreciation in his eyes and his performance. Kanye's got a chip on his shoulder and its truly a spectacle. I will not rest until Kanye is brought to BC to show you crazy kids how a real concert is done.
P.S. Best songs of the performance: Hey mama(the last song), Good Life(32:50 1st), All of the Lights(20:16 2nd), Touch the Sky(13:15 2nd), Dark Fantasy(opener 2:33 1st), Through the Wire(9:48 2nd), Lost In the World(39:00 2nd), Homecoming(8:38 2nd vid), JesusWalks (12:59 1st), Stronger(25:22), Runaway(31:35 2nd), Flashing Lights (29:00 1st)
P.P.S This was pretty much Kanye unleashing his best stuff all night long, but he should have left the 808 and Heartbreak songs at home and brought more of College Dropout and Graduation.
