Wow Kanye!!
Ok, people (and do) say what they want about one Mr. Kanye West. Personally, I don’t like or agree with more that half of his statments or actions, I also don’t consider myself to be a huge fan of his music, not to the point where I would buy an entire album, a song or two, yes. When it comes to Kanye, I tend to like his colloborations much better than his solo projects.
However, I will admit that Kanye is a highly creative and a musical genius–most artistic types are a bit out there at times. And he can put on a mean performance when he wants too. I can also appreciate his gift & talent without blanketly co-sigining on everything the man has ever done. (The author in me can’t help but respect and appreciate his creativity though).
Anywho, I happen to love his latest single, “Power”. I’ve seen the “Power video, it’s been getting a lot of hype, and it is most definitely different and artistic. Of course, some folks are all up in arms and hollering “demonic this” and Illuminati that”. I’m not going there with either of those trains of thoughts, I simply think its Kanye being Kanye.
Frankly, I like of the video. It’s different, looks like everyone is floating in it. Anywho, I say all of that to say Kanye performed “Power” on SNL this past Saturday and it was awesome. It’s like a live verson of the video. Kudos to the dancers. Both are posted below for your enjoyment:
