Evan’s Insight 12/10/21: Yeezy and Drizzy

Last night, we had one of the most spectacular events in recent music history occur. Kanye and Drake, two legends in the music industry, completely wiped the floor in LA with their show benefiting Larry Hoover and advocating for his freedom. As the show started, there was a long 20-minute choir into the main concert, in which Drake and Kanye, side by side, walked out of the collesium-shaped pillars and onto the stairway down to the main stage in the center of the stadium, where Kanye would take the stage for the first part of the concert. Starting off things with his old material, Kanye performed nearly all of his biggest hits, such as Stronger, All of The Lights, Jesus Walks, Runaway, Black Skinhead, etc. The crowd ate all of it up, singing all of the lyrics and going crazy whenever a new song came on. In the later-half of the concert, Drake came up and performed some of the tracks from CLB, and it was definetly the low point of the show. The energy didn’t really match what Kanye brought in the first half of the concert, and most of the songs he did were the worst cuts off the album. Kanye would come back out and do a few more songs before the finale, which was without a doubt the greatest bit. Kanye and Drake both performed “Forever” and the place went WILD. They both killed their parts with their energy, and the guitar solo to finish was just the cherry on top. After this, the two left the stage together, and the show came to a close, but it was undoubtedly one of the most epic and large-scale muscial performances in the past few years, and it will surely be talked about for the rest of not only this year, but the rest of the decade.
