Much has been made of Kanye West’s infamous “rants” at his concerts but, as is often the case, his actions and words make much more sense in full context. Kanye played the Prudential Center in Newark on 2/15 and he had a lot to say. Yeezy spoke for 20 minutes on everything from why he left Nike for Adidas, having Drake’s back when it comes to misrepresentation by the media, the media’s negative portrayal of Hip-Hop and its artists, the Grammy’s and more. It was certainly stream of consciousness…but it was far from a “rant.” Check out the video…all of it.
