Kanye West To Entertainment Weekly: Don’t Come To My Show!

May 5th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Magazines, Music News

Kanye West is none too happy about a B+ review of his Glow in the Dark tour in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.

The EW review by writer Chris Willman said Kanye’s tour “takes fans on a galactic voyage, folding his hits into a wacked-out space opera that’s the ultimate ego trip. Normally, that’d be an insult, but with West, who’s made an art form out of dramatizing both humility and hubris, it’s mission accomplished.”

Willman also took a jab at opening acts Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna.

He wrote, “Lupe Fiasco has the material to make good on his ‘next Kanye’ status, though he suffered from rapping to studio tracks (and ‘Kick, Push’ deserves more than a reduced medley slot). By contrast, N.E.R.D. rocked out with their full-band set; Pharrell Williams is no great singer, but he’s a great party starter. The glam Rihanna provided respite from all this testosterone and packed an undeniable string of hits into her half hour, moving smoothly through light choreography. But her should-be slam dunk, ‘Umbrella,’ felt off, with the rain-gear-wielding backup dancers working harder to sell the smash than she did.”

In a posting on his blog, The Louis Vuitton Don responded to the criticism with the following:

Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; don’t come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya’ll two cents in? Ya’ll rated my album shitty and now ya’ll 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, fuck you and the whole fucking 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 lose 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 bitch!! You don’t know shit about passion and art. You’ll never gain credibility at this rate. You’re fucking 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!
