Watch Kanye lambast 'Suit & Tie', Taylor Swift and corporate dollar
As we recently reported, pop genius, modern messiah and POTUS-certified jerkass Kanye West played a handful of low-key shows in London this weekend. On Saturday’s show, Kanye launched into one of his inevitable onstage rants. According to FACT, The Grammys and Taylor Swift were subject of one-liner putdowns throughout the show, with Kanye remarking “Taylor Swift beat Beyoncé at the Grammys? Beyoncé be dancing in heels and shit.”
But the biggest targets were corporations. After performing Clique, Kanye went on a 10-minute long rant about, well, everything: Justin Timberlake’s Suit & Tie came under attack (“I got love for Hov, but I ain’t fucking with that ‘Suit & Tie’”), as did The Grammys (again) and the corporate shills that run the game.
You can read a transcript of the rhyming rant on Consequence of Sound, but it’s far more entertaining (and, occasionally, actually pretty cool) to watch the video.
As one commenter on Youtube points out, the reference to Suit & Tie might not be a direct reference to the song, but that Kanye simply has no time for the people that wear suits and ties – which, to be honest, makes a lot more sense. Rappers and their wordplay, huh?
