Yeezy brings Pablo to life. During his headlining
set at the Paradise International Music Festival in the Philippines on Saturday
(Apr. 9), Kanye West gave fans a preview of his upcoming tour by performing a
series of tracks off The Life of Pablo for the first time.
Among the songs ‘Ye live-debuted off his
chart-topping album was “Famous.” While performing for the crowd at Paradise
Grounds, he paused for the controversial Taylor Swift lyrics, allowing the
Manila crowd to recite the line in unison. Afterwards, Yeezus thanked fans for
receiving it so well.
“In the spirit of Nina Simone, in the spirit of real
artists, this is the song that broke the writer’s block for me because it was
something I wanted to say so bad that they told me I couldn’t say,” West
explained. Later, he added: “You don’t know, it’s really overwhelming to me to
perform that song for the first time and for y’all to react to it in that way.”
He was so touched, in fact, that he performed the
song twice. But he also performed other TLOP cuts, including “Waves” and
“Father Stretch My Hands.”
Of course, Mr. West also delivered classics like
“Gold Digger” and “All of the Lights.” While rocking out to “Runaway,” he took
some time to debut a new freestyle, tentatively being called “I Don’t Want to
Be Liked.”
“Being liked is nothing when you could be loved,” he
sang as the crowd cheered in approval. “God is love.”
Speaking of new material, Kanyeezy also delivered
the first live performance of “Pop Style,” his Drake collaboration off Views
From the 6.
This marked Kanye’s first concert of 2016 and his
first performance in the Philippines. Saturday’s Paradise International Music
Festival also included appearances from Wiz Khalifa, Afrojack, and Austin
Mahone.
