Maybe because it's a guy with quacking diamonds for teeth comparing himself to a slave?
The entire song is describing how excessive materialism in hip hop culture enslaves black men, so yeah?
And who ever said Kanye has to buy into that excessive materialism? Plenty don't and do just fine. If that is his intent, then he's rapping against the very same thing he's embraced and perpetuated, which makes him a hypocrite.

It's almost as if, by throwing Maybach keys, he's wearing his heart on his sleeve, acknowledging that he himself is a "New Slave," seeing the "Blood on the Leaves."

Voltron, if you get there two hours early you should be able to position yourself wherever you like. I got a kick out of watching the veeps in their pit for a minute. When Ye would walk to the front of the runway they would all run in that direction and then back to the main stage setup when he headed that way.

Yeah, I'm not buying it. Pardon me for not shedding any tears for the slave with squillions more than I'll ever have.

I'm assuming you feel the same way when Pink Floyd sings about the evils of Money?
So I ordered floor tickets for the show in Auburn Hills this coming Thursday and got the tickets you print off cause I didn't wanna spend the extra money to make sure they'd be here in time and on my tickets it says "VIP floor General Admission". Do all the floor ones say that? Cause I remember there was regular floor tickets and VIP floor tickets for the show in Columbus. Also for the people who went how quick does the floor fill out? I am trying to get as close as possible. I get off work at 1 it's roughly a 4 hour drive so I will be there 2 hours before the doors open. Hopefully I can get pretty close.
Think you hit the jackpot my friend.
I hope you're right. My ticket from Columbus just said floor general admission. Hopefully I got upgraded or something.

VIP floor admission is definitely different than GA floor.
I think the tour is underselling. I read an article that around 7,000 tickets were sold for the Tampa show. I would guess Nashville had the same. I got an upgrade at the Nashville show, although nowhere near as good as yours.

We moved down from the top level to the lowest seated level, between Kendrick and Kanye, but really lucked out by picking the only 2 seats in our row that didn't wind up being taken. It completely filled in around us, and ushers were checking tickets to move people out for the rightful ticket holders.
And the cheap seats remained full for the whole show, which we weren't expecting.

And Roger Waters compares himself to a slave... when exactly?
BTW, I think "I can't take him seriously" is a perfectly valid reason for not liking an artist's music. I think Bob Dylan is a phony and totally full of sh*t, but lots of people whose opinions I respect really like his music, so I mostly keep it to myself. I don't go around trying to convince people otherwise.
You keep leaving out the "new" part. That's an important modifier.
I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not.
You know who's a new slave? People who work all day in sweatshops for mere pennies. Children who are sold into the sex trade in Southeast Asia.
You know who's not? Highly successful pop artists.
This is a good point. If you ignore all of the context he puts into the song, it's inappropriate for Kanye to refer to African American men as "New Slaves."
Also I am wondering if I do get there early and have my choice of where to stand where would be the best place to be? From Videos I have seen it seems like he spends a lot of time at the smaller mountain that goes out into the crowd. So I figured up against that thing, I don't wanna go to the front of the big stage and be staring at his back the whole time.

The runway in front of the big stage looks like an arrow, and he does spend most of his time on the arrowhead part of it. Last night he did slap hands with people who were alongside the narrow part of runway for a minute, so unless the possibility of getting a Kanye-five is on your bucket list, being around the arrowhead would be best.
Although there's a song (or two?) where the arrowhead portion lifts up, so your view wouldn't be as great for that short time.
PLUS, he moves around quite a bit and faces different directions. So wherever you are along the runway/arrow will be a good spot.
Did you read the part about how he "inspired awe"?
the "Awe" of his comment that he compared his job to a police officer and how dangerous it is? or the production of the set and not the music? either way yeezus is awful and if bonnaroo signed him id be ok with it as long as he cant play music from yeezus

Bound 2 is abhorrent. If he plays bonnaroo, it'll definitely be a show I will be missing.
The song is just terrible.
I really don't get the song. I guess I would say terrible as well, but boring is really how I feel about it. I'm not a huge hip hop/rap fan, but there is stuff I can dig and appreciate. The love for that song is just something I don't understand. Having said that, I'd rather him not headline but if he does it's something I definitely won't be missing.

Just out of curiosity, what were your ten favorite albums this year? Ten favorite songs?
I haven't listened to an entire album in a while. I'm into Portugal, lourde, grouplove, band of skulls, of monsters and men, a few others right now. I like rock. Some rap is fine, but I'm not even sure that song classified as rap.
