5 Things We Learned From Kanye West's Rants At Bonnaroo 2014
Kanye West went off on everything from the press to Bruno Mars to the festival he was headlining at that very moment last night, giving the crowds at Bonnaroo a serious dose of Yeezus' opinion.
We've compiled some choice quotes from the Kanye monologues. These haven't been edited--well, we cut out the curse words, because those are bad--but otherwise they're exact transcriptions. Here's five things we learned between the songs of Kanye's incredible set at Bonnaroo 2014. (And don't forget to read our full recap of the performance.)
1) Kanye takes rock stardom and t-shirts seriously.
"How many of y'all don't give a f—k about what the press say? It's 2014. College Dropout came out 2004. I want
y'all to know, every time I go to the studio, every time I do an interview,
every time I make a motherf—kin' t-shirt, the thing I do, I give it everything
I got. And when I talk that shit, it's so that you can talk that sh-t. If you a
fan of me, you a fan of your motherf—kin' self. You can do something that'll
change the world. Look at how they try to make me look. They try to make me
look crazy. And the people that write that? I don't see them performing for
90,000 motherf—kers … I know you seen movies and sh-t. Jimi Hendrix. John
Lennon. Jim Morrison. I know y'all seen movies and sh-t. But y'all livin' a
movie right motherf—king now. Because I AM THE NUMBER ONE MOTHERF—KING ROCK
STAR ON THE PLANET."
