i ain't sayin' she's a golddigger
I started to post about Kanye earlier and got cranky with myself. I think I'm still tired from Saturday night. Staying out till midnight last night didn't help matters any.
AND YES. causeways has already told me that I am an old woman. I'VE HEARD IT, KTHX.
But! I was tired out from going to a Kanye concert! That has to count for something, right?
Anyway. KANYE. So. It's not my genre, not my crowd, not something I was particularly excited about, but the ticket was free as long as I drove. I cannot express to you how intensely awkward the whole night was. I drove a group of ninth graders to this concert and sat next to them while the opening act rapped about fucking hos. I mean. SERIOUSLY. And then Kanye comes on and I love the song Golddigger, I do. But he's got this giant lady painted in gold wearing nothing but a garland over her nipples and her crotch writhing around on the giant screen behind during it. Sometimes there were TWO ladies and they were GROPING each other. And I wanted to bundle these tiny 9th graders up and sit them down in front of Hannah Montana for another few years.
So maybe I am a crotchety old lady. BUT. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE.
Turning off the part of my brain that tells me I assisted in corrupting impressionable youth, the concert actually was pretty fabulous. Rihanna opened and sang the two songs by her that I actually know (under my umbrella ella ella eh eh) and N.E.R.D. also opened. Pharell (sp?) Williams has some awesomely hilarious white boy dance moves. Kanye was pretty hilarious. The whole gimmick of the show is that he's on a space ship that's crash landed on a planet and it needs to be jump started somehow. They try shooting stars but they didn't provide enough power to get the space ship very far. It needed THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE GALAXY. MR. KANYE WEST. *rolls eyes* Whatever, he did Jesus Walks, so I was happy.
Oh! So weird! Kanye bleeped himself on Golddigger. Like. I have heard the explicit version of those lyrics. He definitely says the rhyme to "golddigger" on that track, but at the concert it was "but she ain't messin' with no broke...." And it's not like he avoided saying it other times, just that song.
ALSO. HAHAA. So. He did "Mama" which was AWESOME, I hadn't heard it before and I got a little teary during it. At the end he goes over to the side of the stage to, idk, have a moment or something. And DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' STARTS PLAYING. JOURNEY. JOURNEY PLAYS DURING A KANYE WEST CONCERT. It was the hugest moment of awesome EVER. And it was all like "you can't stop believing that you are the brightest star and that your awesomeness is enough to power this ship and get us home!"
Omg, the cat hair on my person at this moment in time is OVERWHELMING. I could make a whole other CAT.
