While the public assumed that Kanye West would display his “humorous” side during his debut on ‘Saturday Night Live’ show – it was quite the opposite. The rapper who recently went on a verbal tirade against the ” paprazzi” after hitting his head alongside a street sign that read: WRONG WAY made no apologies for his actions and continued his serious stance during his SNL appearance this past weekend.
Prior to his revisit to SNL, Kanye made it clear to producers of the show that unlike other celeb’s [who participated on the show and often poked fun at themselves for their many “mishaps” of their career] – he wanted no part in any “funny clip scenes”. Kanye devoted his attention to his musical performance and similar to the title songs – there was much talk of Yeezy’s latest tracks “New Slaves” & “Black SkinHeads”
During his SNL performance “YEEZY” dished on other issues surrounding black fame and celebrity that raised eyebrows and awareness of what Ye’ says is the “larger picture” of that we the “New Slaves” don’t see. In the track “New Slaves” YEEZY raps:
What You Want/ A Bentley/ A Fur Coat/ A Diamond Chain /All You Black’s/ Want All The Same Thing ….Spending Everything On Alexander Wang/ New Slaves
West continues:
You See – Its Leaders And Its Followers/ But I Rather Be A Prick/ Than A Swallower
West also mentions that the so called “New World Order” is a REAL concept in which folks should pay attention to it while noting that he too is a “Slave’
I Know That We The New Slaves/ I See The Blood On The Leaf/…..They Throwing Hate At Me/ And Want Me To Stay At Ease/ I’m Through With Your Corporations/ Ya’ll N— Can’t Control Me/ …. I Know That ‘Yeezy’ Ain’t Free/ Throwing Contracts At Me/ Ya’ll these N— Can’t Read.
Kanye West also performed a controversial track entitled ” Black Skin Heads ” where he talks about the ongoing issue of race, inter-racial dating, religion and its divide, and more while noting that he has reason to be “lashing out or back” the way he does saying: I’ve Been A Menace For The Longest/ But I Ain’t Finish/ I’m Provoking/ And You Know It
As Kanye raps images of “Not For Sale” signs and discounted prices of diamonds and other materials appear in the background along with dogs barking loudly as Kanye fades in out of his own shadow during his performance.
Kanye’s girlfriend reality star, Kim Kardashian wa sin full support of her beau and provided a sneak peek of Ye’s new album cover and “Air Yeezy” sneakers during the Ye’s SNL appearance.
Kanye’s new album “YEEZUS” [a cross name of Kanye’s name and Jesus] will debut next month and from the sound of these new tracks -it seems to be “purchase worthy” yet again.
In the words of President Obama – Kanye is a Jackass but he is undeniably and undoubtedly “MUSICALLY” gifted.
