"Oh Yes Mr. West!"



One of my favorite rappers made a triumphant comeback at the tenth annual BET Awards as well last Sunday right behind Chris Brown and El Debarge all  performances were jaw dropping moments. Repping Chi-City "The Windy City" also known as Chicago Mr. Kanye West opened up the show performing his song "Power" standing on what appeared to be a volcano but  the stage also appeared to resemble a mountaintop with images of snow in the background on the big screen while sporting a rather large pendant necklace it was festive image of Egyptian icon Horus.  The lyrics in the song "Power" are honest and in your face "Lost in translation  with a whole fuc%!g nation /They say I was the abomination of Obama's nation/ Well  that's a really good way to start a conversation/ At the end of the day goddammit I 'm killing this shi#!/ Y'all know I'm killing this sh#!/" It has been a moment since we have seen Kanye it seems as though everyone was still holding a grudge from the incident at the 2009 VMA's when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. "Taylor I'm gonna let you finish but Beyonce' had one of the greatest videos of all time." It was rude but still comical honestly he did Taylor Swift a favor after that incident her career took off and Beyonce' is doing just fine as always. Kanye's  fifth studio album Good Ass Job will drop in September this title will complete the tetralogy that went along with previous albums College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation.
