Kanye West

[dentalplan]

Yeez-Eh featuring Kasabian would have been a good addition to the setlist.

[Bignews]

just watching Kanye back on tv for the first time since, i think other than about 5 songs in the middle where he becomes a little self indulgent and loses the crowd a bit, he absolutely nailed it, a set packed with hits and was one of my favourite performances on the pyramid! obviously, if you don't like his music, you'll disagree, but makes a change from the same old boys with guitars!

[The Placid Casual]

Serge is always on about Kanye. He's a pretty big fan. Why would his opinion be worth less than anyone here's? Because of Eez-Eh?

Anyone who knocks Eez-Eh knocks life.

[Badlands]

I wish he'd lent his auto tune to Courtney Barnett earlier in the day!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Wouldn't have betted pre festival that C. Barnett would be the worst thing I'd see all weekend, but here we are. A total shocker.

As for the Kanye autotune interlude....I remember enjoying it. Though I dunno if I'm a reliable witness.

[Matt42]

Courtney was great wtf?

I'm not averse to a 'unique' vocal style, but she was just awful. 

 

The section after I Wonder all the way up to No Church in the Wild was crap for me. Then he pulled it back and was flying up until the crane debacle. 

 

I'd say Noel got the bit about the first half hour being amazing bob on!!

How fucked up were people at Kanye?

I was very.

 

Enjoyed up until the autotune interlude, after which point I found the rest of it hilarious. One of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever seen.

 

Didn't he thank his cousin at one point?!

I am was absolutely annihilated to be fair.

 

I didnt even realise he went up in a crane thing until I read about it on here.

Jesus. You must have passed through Gillespied and right out the other side to MacGowaned.

I would have, if I'd gone. Skipped it because the Park Stage seemed a bit big for her sound last year - and apparently same on the John Peel - so the prospect of seeing her on the Pyramid did nowt for me.

[Bisque]

I was off my nut. Pulled my best mates 40 year old sister when he asked me not to.

 

Edit: don't remember the cherry picker bit.

Raising my hand to join #TeamDoesntRememberTheCherryPicker.

I do remember Move On Up, mind...

[The Nal]

OK now this explains a lot.......

[Guest]

Guys, I think I might like Russel Brand. Is there a support group I can join?

[dentalplan]

No shame in that. He's funny and puts many good points across.

[Bradders]

I never really understood why people hate him so much. Unless you're a daily mail-er of course.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The whole "don't vote" business.

[GlastoSimon]

The whole "don't vote" business.

 

That and the 'vote Labour' followed by the u-turn a few days later pissed me off, but other than that it is nice to see a celebrity putting forward their views on things. Says a lot about politics that he is ridiculed for not being an 'expert', when in truth none of the electorate are 'experts'. 

[Michaels denim shorts]

Id probably vote for Russell Brand

He deserved flak for that, and received it, but he was clearly widely disliked before that.

Haha amazing!! I didnt really until he was coming back down i just kept saying "this is wierd why is he singing from backstage." And "i cant see him, where is he. Im so confused" Edited July 11, 2015 by kellly

True...but his political engagement is a relatively recent turn of events in a longish career characterised mostly by fairly shallow, lightweight concerns - though some of his early prefame programmes where he confronts the neo nazis and soon are quite interesting.

I don't dislike him, but there are plenty of more coherent, consistent voices on the left worth paying more attention to. Even Frankie Boyle is consistently nailing it at the minute.
