Kanye West and Jay-Z Electrify at SXSW

 

SXSW's longstanding nickname "Indie Rock Spring Break" certainly wasn't accurate during the final day of the Austin music festival as hip-hop took over the Texas town, culminating in Kanye

West's not-so-secret show in the city's former power plant.

After a day marked by stellar sets from Big Boi at the MOG showcase at the Mohawk; Killer Mike, Lil B and a surprise mini-set from Diddy and Odd Future at the Fader Fort; Z Trip with special guest LL Cool J at the Red Bull Thr3style event; and Snoop Dogg and Warren G performing a Nate Dogg tribute at the Pepsi Max party, it was time for the festival's biggest (and hardest to get into) showcase -- West's VEVO Power Station.

Taking place in the epic industrial setting, the line-ups began early in the day, though the doors didn't open until midnight. Thousands of people were queued up outside in a chaotic crush, with many no doubt left disappointed.

But for the 3,000 or so who made it inside, they were treated to a truth-in-advertising showcase from Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label, with a host of talent including Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Mos Def, John Legend and the Clipse's Pusha T.

Though stars in their own right, this was West's night, a late capper to a year that saw his 'My Beautful Dark Twisted Fantasy' top music critics and bloggers' year-end lists the world over. Now he had come to their annual gathering spot to hold court, and, unlike two years ago when he did a surprise set at Fader, this was all-out epic.

Clad in rock 'n' roll leather and standing before a giant GOOD Music sign -- and suspiciously positioned in front of one of the Os so the word spelled out "God" -- West unleashed a fierce and fiery set of largely new numbers, a tribute to the strength of 'Fantasy' atop an outstanding back catalog. Sure, the sound echoed around the cement room, and the VIP section was raised and therefore blocked the view of the plebes in the back, but everyone was so happy to be at this only-in-Austin event that the excitement was infectious.

Opening with 'Gorgeous,' West subsequently raged through 'Can't Tell Me Nothing' and the Black Sabbath-sampling 'Hell of a Life,' before bringing out John Legend for a sleepy 'The Blame Game.' Legend played a few more songs so West could take a break, but he returned full-bore with a rousing rendition of 'Power,' which got the crowd adding handclap percussion.

Then all it took was a single piano plink for the crowd to go insane over the impeding 'Runaway,' a song so popular and strange it's a sheer testament to West's envelope-pushing. Not surprisingly, it was highlighted by Pusha T's verse, which he proceeded to chew up and spit out like a monster.

West was soon joined by a full marching band for 'Turn out the Lights' and eventually by his old boss, Jay-Z, which sent the flagging 4AM crowd into paroxysms of Roc-handsign throwing ecstasy when the pair ploughed through their posse cuts, 'Monster' and 'Swagger Like Us' before Jigga dropped 'H to the Izzo' and, for old times sake, 'Big Pimpin'.'

Bon Ivor's Justin Vernon added some indie star power for 'Lost in the World,' before West took the spotlight back for himself with the perfectly appropriate set-closer 'Good Life.'

It may not have been your typical indie-centric SXSW show, but it was an epic event that will become part of the South-by-Southwest canon and another example of Kanye's power.

Kanye West has an eye for fashion

 

Kanye West has an eye for fashion, but that doesn't necessarily mean he gets to see the catwalk shows in Paris this week. The outspoken rapper has been making the rounds at Paris Fashion

Week, and while he's been spotted at the Valentino, Givenchy and Vivienne Westwood shows, apparently some designers are turning him away.

According to the New York Post's Page Six, organizers are getting tired of uninvited celebrities showing up and expecting royal treatment. Namely, show organizers KCD, who handled the Alexander McQueen, Balmain and Louis Vuitton shows where West was rumored to have trouble getting in.

"Kanye has been a welcome guest at several events that KCD has managed over the years. Several designers chose to have smaller shows this season and therefore chose to not invite celebs in order to accommodate press and buyers," a KCD rep told the Post.

The same source said that West tried to get into the Balmain runway show with his entourage at Le Grand Hotel last Thursday, but was denied entry. "Mr. West requested to attend and we let him know we would not be able to accommodate him. He chose to come to the door anyway and we kindly let him know we could not accommodate him."

Apparently, West then snuck off to "a separate part of the hotel, so people didn't see him."

The same story played out on Tuesday at the Alexander McQueen show, but West was eventually let in by the venue. No word on his presence at the Louis Vuitton show, though he wasn't on the list for that one either, and a Vuitton rep would only say, "Kanye remains a great friend of the house."

Kanye West has expressed an interest in fashion

 Although Kanye West has expressed an interest in fashion, he's not ready to get schooled in it. After the rapper was spotted at London's Central Saint Martins College last week, rumors began

to circulate that Mr. West was there to apply for a master's degree in fashion. But a rep for the college denies the reports.



"Kanye West has not applied for a place on M.A. Fashion at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. He visited the college last week on unrelated matters," Jo Ortmans, the university's Press Officer, told PopEater in an e-mail.



Ortmans would not comment on the real reason West was visiting the university.



Sources told U.K.'s The Sun that West reportedly met with Professor Louise Wilson, whose previous students include some of Britain's most well-known designers including the late Alexander McQueen.



"Kanye spends a lot of time with fashion students and often hooks up with Central's arty pupils when he is in London," the sources said, adding CSM is reportedly one of the toughest schools around to get into.



West does have some work experience at Fendi and Louis Vuitton, but even that wouldn't be enough for him to secure a place in the master's program, the sources told the newspaper.



West -- who likely doesn't need a degree to start a fashion line anyway -- has been in Paris taking in every Fashion Week show from Givenchy to Vivienne Westwood.

IlluMiMusiC 2

This can be nothing else but mind control. I'd imagine this is the kind of thing that was really happening to Giselle in Enchanted (I get that vibe from it anyway), with all the magical shit happening in her head. Once Slipknot (probably all mind controlled, hence the masks/awful music) show up and change their regular masks for porcelain masks, the butterfly is released and naturally the dishevelled (MK'd) girl follows it into the New York streets (more on NY in VMA post), at the end the butterfly stops and she picks it up. Obviously the lyrics also contain mind control. Here's Part 2. The song comes from their album Vol. 3: The subliminal verses, and have other Freemasonic/illuminism songs like "Duality". They are on the same record label as another duality resonating band Biffy Clyro (see video with Freemasonic temple/duality battle in original illuMiMusiC post), road runner records (Time Warner, all these companies are owned by the same illuminist/freemasonic cabal, hence why their symbolism is all over their videos).

Vermillion - Slipknot

Eric Prydz' latest one "Pjanoo" next which has the mini-people theme (confusing reality, starts on a train track) mixed with occult elements such as the horned skulls, the horned human, the occult $ bill with the pyramid/all seeing eye raining down as the symbolic horns are shown. Probably has some deeper symbolic meaning that I'm missing. Native Americans: another illuminati achievement in destroying their culture.

Next up, apparently everyone's favourite band Oasis (do any of their songs not sound exactly the same?), "The Shock of the Lightning" [electroshock symbolism], look out for the symbolism (the owl = Bohemian Grove controling the general [the owl pops out of one of their heads], butterflies or moths not sure), it starts with Noel's (or Liam... arn't they really the same carbon-copy scousers anyway) head within his head within his head etc (MK symbolism, multiple personalities). They always try to give one of them a John Lennon look about him (note round glasses, hair cut), John Lennon was mind controlled himself (and killed by a mind controlled killer...). Oasis, to me sounds like a mixture of Osiris (Oz) and Isis.

This next one from way back from the Spice Girls is pretty self-explanatory (they're inside a pyramid yes, so are thusly probably controlled by Freemasons/illuminati), just watch the first few seconds and the last few if you want to save yourself the pain of actually viewing/listening to it all. Also adding weight to this is Victoria Beckham's Song for Solomon (Freemasonic control) tattoo spoken of in this post.

If you havn't figured out Michael Jackson is mind controlled then you've got a long way to go (abused by his father etc, go through some of his videos), in this version of "Beat It" by Fallout Boy the singer is wearing a checkerboard hat (head, implying mind control of the singer) which shows who controls Michael Jackson and Fallout Boy.

More checkerboards now, with Basshunter (or Jonas Eric Altberg), this is music I despise and seriously aches my brain to listen to.

Duffy (one of the "New Amys" but they havn't even finished with the old Amy yet...) next, the checkerboard starts popping up at around 1.16 as she puts on the red dress in preperation for doing what she's been told to, probably something symbolic about those letters as she drinks milk (cat) infront of them walking to the place where she waits for her handler. Her other singles include, Mercy ("I'm begging you for mercy", note she stands on an illuminated thing and the upside down pyramid chandaliers) and Warwick Avenue (wicka/war). Stepping Stones have deep symbolism by the way (and in the occult, with druids using the "three stepping stone" method for astral projection), each stone is an alter leading to the main, with the chaotic water around them or something.

Next up, a lesser Illuminati goddess imo(as opposed to Britney, Mariah etc); Gwen Stefani who seems to be controlled by Freemasons if this video is anything to go by (duality black/white in prison), the obsession with G's, all the gold etc. Her other works suggests mind control to with singles from her band No Doubt including "Trapped in a Box" and solo: "Just a Girl", "Spiderwebs", her clothing line is called L.A.M.B.

If there's one mind controlled rapper who makes quality music (imo), it's Kanye West (more in VMA post). This one, Stronger suggests his mind control (shows him essentially being built in a high-tech lab, note the heart is covered, Kanye seems to have undergone significant programming to do with his heart as is shown in the VMA's where he performs his new (pretty good) new song with a broken heart over his own). Note that the stormtroopers who come in have seals of solomon all over them showing it is Freemasonry. This song samples Daft Punk who are always dressed as robots... and perform atop a Masonic Pyramid...

Stronger - Kanye West

Time to wrap this one up I think; I'll finish with Leona Lewis's Better in Time where she is shown across a Freemasonic Checkerboard, again adding weight to what I've been saying about her [added screenshot of it into that post]. Think I've forgotten a few videos I was intending to put in mind, probably change this soon.

Might as well throw in Miley Mouse's latest offing, with all those hypnotic purple rotating Pentagrams magically coming from her hand (they're tiny though so just looks like purple light). [also note the other visual effects connoting mind control such as the outer edges blurred as if you were viewing it in a crystal ball, or when Miley is mirrored etc.]
