Kanye West IS a Genius. I Swear.
He's nuts! Kanye West is absolutely nuts, and I swear that's why I like the brother . Last night I attended the last stop on his Yeezus tour, at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, and I am still on a bit of a musical high. It was a two and a half hour show...just Kanye. Kendrick was about 45 minutes on his own from 7:30pm to 8:15ish...and Kanye rocked the stage from 9:00pm straight to like 11:30pm. Madness. I admit... when I first listened to the Yeezus album I was hella confused (see previous blog http://www.staceymarierobinson.blogspot.ca/2013/07/yeezus-kanye-west-huh.html ). I didn't get it.

Put in the appropriate context, with a bit of breathing room and media referencing, it all made perfect sense.
