HOUSTON I LOVE YOU!
05.04.2008

Don't believe the hype! When I started the show the other night we were having a lot of technical issues due 2 the heat. The 2 huge screens on both sides of the stage were glaring bright blue like when your DVD player acts up at home. I asked for them 2 turn the screens off 3 times because it was distracting 2 the show. The fans were not getting what they paid for. I admit, in my frustration,  I did use profanity on the 4th time I asked. I stopped the show 2 go over and check it out myself. After the screens were turned off I started the same song from the beginning. The screens were eventually fixed 5 songs in but it was definitely better 2 have them blacked out rather than bright blue. Unfortunately for certain media outlets, you will never be able 2 'Michael Jackson' me. That means 2 make it seem like everything I do is so weird or out of place... they always try 2 make it seem like everything is about my ego! That joke is getting old. At a certain point you have 2 respect that I'm one of the last artist that still cares about the fans having the best time of there lives!  Thanks 2 Bossip and Perez for taking it easy on me on the EW spaz... I did go in a little 2 much on that one. I'm sure there are some cool people who work over there and had nothing 2 do with that review.   With all that said.... "I'm still the greatest!!!" lol!! Oh and I was in the studio with T.I. last night.... so get ready!!!

Cant wait for New York City!!!
Kanye, is there no chance for me, to meet you personally? I'm your #1 European Fan. I was in Cologne and Rotterdam 2006 and Brussels 2007. And now I'm flying from Germany to NYC just to see you!!!!
JUST FOR YOU MAN!!!
I know its worth it!
All of the money, all of my time, all of it! Its worth it. But I'd still like to meet you :)
Isn't there a chance?

cubsfan23 | May 4, 2008
Oh hell yeah. Kanye and TI that's gonna be sick.
I can't wait to see you in Raleigh man!
gspence | May 4, 2008
Kanye the EW review was not that bad, it was self serving like most critics are but he did give you some props. Just remember what you said in your book! "You can learn more from a critique, than from a compliment!"
That being said, thanks for putting on such an amazing show in Oklahoma City!

i am so glad you did stop the show on friday. those screens were very distracting. i think it was awesome you spoke your mind and got them fixed. it was an incredible show. my legs still hurt from standing and dancing the whole night and my throat still hurts from screaming and singing. plus rihanna was incredible, lupe is a genuinely amazing rapper, and NERD was so energetic and entertaining. it was an amazing night! thanks kanye.... oh it would have been even more amazing if you played "the new workout plan" but i could tell it didnt fit in your story. so it's cool.
CJohn | May 4, 2008
Your show in the Woodlands was amazing!! Having the production crew shut off the screens was absolutely the right thing to do.
Brianna_81 | May 4, 2008
Ohhh T.I ?? can't wait !!
soladyatvienna | May 4, 2008

tuesdainoelle | May 4, 2008
@Kanye: Hi :)...good to see you're still smiling and doing as President, YES!!! President Obama had said "...sometimes you just got to brush the dirt off your shoulder." But the inspiritional line of the evening lol, from you is:
Unfortunately for certain media outlets, you will never be able 2 'Michael Jackson' me. That means 2 make it seem like everything I do is so weird or out of place... they always try 2 make it seem like everything is about my ego!
Thanks for always reaching back and touching the community with direct words and truth. It's like I always say: "You always know when you've touched a community by the way that they touch you back." Stay Encouraged :)

what i love about you kanYe is that you are a perfectionist, everything you do is the best it can be. if people diss what you do they are probably just jealous. just keep doing what you do Ye!
p.s Hope you will be making a special guest appearance in Jay's show manchester this july!
Peace x
neffyEastlovekanyeWest | May 4, 2008

Kanye - you are a bigger man than me. You my favorite artist, that's all I got to say.
Redz | May 4, 2008
LOL Kanye you had me rolling. But your passionate about what you do I can understand kid! Just make sure you do us New Yorkers right when you come here.

Kanye West you have changed my life! I feel sorry for anyone who wont get to experience the glow in the dark tour. I'm obsessed with it! I'm just dying to see how you can out do yourself on the next tour. You did the right thing about the screens. I'm glad you spoke up and if people put you down for that, fuck that. There's nothing wrong with wanting perfection. I almost felt like I underpaid you. The concert was worth way much more than i paid for. You are the shit, but you already know that and I respect you for that. Congratulations Mr. West, you've got yourself a new stalker...ok that's a lil extreme. Correction: You've got yourself a new #1 fan. Thank you.
ivanROC | May 4, 2008

Rihanna was good, damn sexy ass...then, Kanye was pure greatness...he said "by far houston is the best crowd" ...and Kanye, thanks for bring Lupe back out for the touch the sky...damn ppl were late showing up..so lupe got his shine....

GregParker | May 4, 2008
Man u are a true artist fam..yeah that ego joke is kinda played out..that stopped when u dropped Cant Tell Me Nothing...
amisspelledword | May 4, 2008
i appreciate you taking time to create a really cool tour, being so involved with designing it, and caring about the experience that is your show. you're an entertainer, and as such thats what you *should* be doing and concerned about. why dont other entertainers?
kitten912 | May 4, 2008
Kanye, first a foremost you have every single right to say you are "the best artist in the universe" as mentioned in your concert on friday, and hinted at your blogs. I totally agree that you are and you work your ass off proving it. The show on friday was flawless, despite the malfunction with the screens. I was at the very front to the right, and that blue screen was pretty much blocking my sight (somewhat). I danced, jumped, screamed, sang and rapped as if i was the only one there, because that's truly how you made me feel that night (as if there was no one else around). Thank you for the much desired event! Houston loves you, and i hope i'll get to see you sometime again in the future!

just left some serious comment-age on perez's site..fuck all them haters really piss me off..they really have no clue what they're on about, all they know is that your name is "Kanye West" and therefore they must bash you with their lame fucked up comments. i guess they've never seen, experienced or heard true talent. all they want is some fake ass shit like the Hills and Tila Tequila..please, someone needs to knock some sense into those assholes..
cfairygurl3 | May 4, 2008

Man, we went crazy when you told them dudes to turn that ish off. before you said anything i was like.. "Man, i hope they fix that ish quick." You handled biz as usual and brought the best show I've seen in my whole damn life. I was feeling bad about missing Jigga's concert in H-town but my friend that went to both sets told me it was nothing compared to what we experienced at the Woodlands with you. You can crash your spaceship back over here anytime. Oh, and next tour, try to make a run through New Orleans and do a show out there. AMAZING SHOW Yeezy.
moved | May 4, 2008
everyone who knows the REAL KANYE knows that he
is truly the GREATEST , MOST CARING & LOVING ARTIST EVER
SlimPickens | May 4, 2008
thats some real shit right there....damn...but i was at the dallas concert....and to anybody who hasnt bought tickets yet i highly advise you to get a ticket to one of the remaining cities.....straight up masterpiece!
katROC | May 4, 2008
I was at the houston show, third row center and I must say that this is the best concert that I have ever been to. Kanye, you have an artistic vision that transcends the scope of other mainstream musicians. Your consistent energy truly amazed me, and it was obvious that you were giving your all. People will look back at this tour way in the future as an iconic and revolutionary example of what musical entertainment is all about.
SHOUTOUT TO MY BOY ivanROC, LUPE'S BIGGEST FAN!!!
p.s. - Kanye, if you're reading this, please tell Pharrell that I said thanks for taking the time to shake my hand =) And that I will one day bear his children.
MUHFUCKINMYN | May 4, 2008
THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU KANYE. you're definitely one of the realest. i wish more people could see it, though. I JUST WISH YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR SHOW COME TO PITTSBURGH.. hahaha
