    Came here to rewatch this after discovering a letter that Bono (U2) wrote to Kanye regarding this performance. Literal goosebumps..
    Dear Kanye,
    I was a hundred feet from your feet… Your eyes were shut so as not to be distracted from the words you had just written around the corner, but here you were debuting this song live from Saturday Night Live… and I’m in the TV studio to witness some black history. It’s May 18, 2013.
    Your “leather black jeans on
    My by-any-means-on
    Pardon, I'm getting my scream on
    Enter the kingdom”
    It felt like hip hop wanted the black leather jacket back from rock ’n’ roll… and the rock ’n’ roll silhouette too. And there you were. Head like a bullet against the supermarket yellow backdrop with a sign saying NOT FOR SALE. Words shot from a glock-like mouth, from the lips of some punk Othello, with dogs like wolves on a leash… teeth bared, tongues dripping, ku klux knots slipping.
    I was about to get musically kicked in the head but I remember the smell of bovver boot leather as it actually stomped on me. I remembered white skinheads.
    I remembered the feeling of being 15… I’m watching a film noir, horror… I was in that movie… but that night the beating was inside my head not on my head, in fact it sounded like nothing I’d ever heard before. The soundtrack of terror, but I wasn’t afraid… I was relieved somebody was fearless.
    Your fan since you came out on the road with us for the Vertigo tour, again, fearless...
    Bono

      It’s not experimental at all it’s when he became friends with Marilyn Manson. It’s him rapping over a Manson style/Pigface beat. I’m not dissing him for that, he’s a great artist. But he went from defending paedophile MJ to hanging with rapist and abuser Manson, and now he’s hanging around with men accused of worse. I don’t understand how someone apparently so intelligent can keep such bad company.

Reminds me of SoundCloud music before SoundCloud was even around like that. Like XXX. Kanye makes good music no debate each of his albums has their own vibe and style. Yeezus was raw , real , fuck you fuck the system fuck everybody fuck how everyone does things this is how I’m going to do it.

      @@qwertydog9795 Skinhead culture came out of the mod scene, they were known as hard mods, not ska or punk. They did later associate with the punk scene. The ska and reggae thing is more of a Jewish liberal lie to defame skinheads and make them seem like they worshipped black culture and slight them that way. Most early skinheads were against invaders from foreign nations into England and the UK. They were not racist, they were guardians of their nation and Indigenous land. They were opposite of the long haired, drug addled, liberal hippies. Skinheads were also called "peanuts" or "bovver boys" before skinhead caught on. They also didn't have shaved heads, just short cropped hair. The shaved head is a poser thing.

    I've been a fan of 'Pac , The Beatles , Marilyn Manson among many other revoloutionary artists and bands, but from all the music I've heard in my life, nothing is quite like Kanye's music, he's always provided something new, something original and innovative. His vision and direction have created a new dimension in music, you have to understand him as an artists to enjoy music beyond the likes of 'Stronger' and 'All of The Lights' ... once you understand what he is trying to do as a person, only then will your mind open up to who and what Kanye West actually is. Albums like Yeezus and 808's weren't invented to be heard and loved by absolutely everybody, that's not Kanye's mission... he was, and still is creating music with such intelligence and creativity. Putting it basically - Kanye makes music, you either love it, or you hate it.. You either love him, or you hate him... I chose to understand Kanye's levels of limitation, and found out they aren't any... Kanye West > The whole fucking game

      He is really smart but his ego is rather hurting him when it comes to the simple folk and their stance on Kanye. They can't see beyond the ego to the genius that lives in there. He's fucking great. He's Kanye. That's the only way to describe him.

      What people need to realize that he shouldn't be judged for how likable he is. He's not trying to be likable, and his success is measured in a unique way. If Taylor Swift was an outright bitch for example, she wouldn't be as famous as she is now.

      Jason Chamberlain Taylor is kind of a bitch though..... that is what made her more famous, because alot of people hate her.

    The GOAT!!!!! My fav rapper/artist.
    I need him to get back to the creativity and move past the “past.” Don’t allow folks so much of his power to be taken away because of what he used to have. He deserves more and should continue to focus on his life as a man and father.
    I’ve been there in regards to being with someone whom I once loved but lost to the public and to someone I called a friend however, I had to take an “L” and move on. He has to take time out to focus on himself. They simply aren’t worth it.
    Love from his biggest fan

    This is one of the best musical performances I’ve ever seen on SNL. Most artists sound like shit on SNL. But not Kanye… he killed it!
    And I love this song!

    2:00-2:06 gives me LIFE. that momentum leading up to that BARK before the start of his last verse is goosebump inducing. one of the last times you'll see an artist of this magnitude give an actual fuck about the delivery and perception of his art.
