THE YEEZUS TOUR CONTINUES WITH FEBRUARY NORTHEAST RUN “Brilliant…the current Yeezus tour is more than just a concert. It's an extravaganza of music and theater… a combination which makes [Kanye] the most fascinating musical figure of our time and makes this tour an unmissable spectacle.” – New York Post “Watching Kanye West perform…I felt roughly the same exhilaration as the sixteen-year-old I was standing next to…is there anyone like Kanye now? Has there ever been? No. ‘Yeezus’ felt like the album of the year months ago; now the year just feels like it belongs to West. Or, more accurately, the moment keeps being his.” – The New Yorker “There are very few modern artists with the kind of vision, ambition, and means to execute it as Kanye West right now…a distinct statement of his combined artistic ambition, penchant for excess, and desire to simply outdo every other entertainer out right now." – The Seattle Times “Awe-inspiring…West's energy level was extraordinary from the very beginning…truly electrifying…The stage as imagined and executed by West was truly something to behold.” – Rolling Stone January 7, 2014 (Los Angeles, CA) – One of the most acclaimed tours of 2013 – Kanye West’s sold-out Yeezus Tour – continues in 2014 with a two week run of the Northeast.

Alba Doesn't Care About Fantastic Four Role
37 TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Webb recalls offer to first helm Spider-Man arc Webb thought it was “crazy” when he was first offered the chance to direct ‘The Amazing Spider- MMan’. The 39-year-old filmmaker - who was recently confirmed to helm Andrew Garfield in the third installment of the superhero franchise - was initially surprised when he was approached by Sony boss, Amy Pascal, to make a remake of Sam Raimi’s 2002 film ‘Spider-Man’. Talking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, in Austin, Texas, he told the audience: “I thought it was crazy.” Pascal responded to his hesita- tions by saying: “Honey, you can’t turn down Spider-Man.” Webb wants the film franchise to be “fantastic” and “big”, in keeping with how children feel when they read about the Marvel superhero, who was first created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He added: “I’m going to embrace the spectacle. There was a moment deep in the [first film’s] post-production process where a giant lizard smashed through a wall chas- ing a boy-man in a unitard and I said, ‘This is not grounded. I’m not going to be beholden to smallness. I want it to be fantastic, to be big, to command and express that feeling when you’re a kid and reading the comics.’ I didn’t want to hide or shy away from that.” Lily Allen to release Sheezus in May Smith to produce Harlem Hellfighters ill Smith has signed on to produce a film Wadaptation of the graphic novel ‘Harlem Hellfighters’.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

“I Know That We the New Slaves”: an Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’S Yeezus
1 “I KNOW THAT WE THE NEW SLAVES”: AN ILLUSION OF LIFE ANALYSIS OF KANYE WEST’S YEEZUS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY MARGARET A. PARSON DR. KRISTEN MCCAULIFF - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2017 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: “I Know That We the New Slaves”: An Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’s Yeezus. STUDENT: Margaret Parson DEGREE: Master of Arts COLLEGE: College of Communication Information and Media DATE: May 2017 PAGES: 108 This work utilizes an Illusion of Life method, developed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001) to analyze the 2013 album Yeezus by Kanye West. Through analyzing the lyrics of the album, several major arguments are made. First, Kanye West’s album Yeezus creates a new ethos to describe what it means to be a Black man in the United States. Additionally, West discusses race when looking at Black history as the foundation for this new ethos, through examples such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nina Simone’s rhetoric, references to racist cartoons and movies, and discussion of historical events such as apartheid. West also depicts race through lyrics about the imagined Black male experience in terms of education and capitalism. Second, the score of the album is ultimately categorized and charted according to the structures proposed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001). Ultimately, I argue that Yeezus presents several unique sounds and emotions, as well as perceptions on Black life in America. 3 Table of Contents Chapter One

Far Beyond the Hype Rap’S Best Artists of Today
6 LIFE&ARTS Wednesday, September 11, 2019 @TheEtCetera The Et Cetera far beyond the hype Rap’s best artists of today Who comes to mind when discussing the top hip-hop art- ists ever? Of course the usual suspects like Tupac and Biggie will be in this discussion. But other all-time greats like Rakim, DMX and OutKast could also be mentioned. I think everyone’s preferences would look a little different. Recently, a hip-hop podcast called “The Brew” tweeted out a list of the “Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All-Time”. The list that resulted in a Twitter uproar of angry fans and members of the music industry. The commenters had several big complaints. For one, no female artists were listed. One-hit wonder and now outspoken hip-hop critic Joe Budden was listed at No. 3. And a number of highly regarded top artists were either ranked horribly or absent from the list altogether. I agree that this list included a truly ridiculous sequence of artists. Upon seeing the list for the first time, I honestly thought it was a joke or a troll. 4.

The Authenticity of a Rapper: the Lyrical Divide Between Personas
The Authenticity of a Rapper: The Lyrical Divide Between Personas and Persons by Hannah Weiner A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2014 © March 25, 2014 Hannah Weiner Acknowledgements The past year has been dedicated to listening to countless hours of rap music, researching hip hop blogs, talking to everyone who will listen about exciting ideas about Kanye West, and, naturally, writing. Many individuals have provided assistance that helped an incredible amount during the process of writing and researching for this thesis. Firstly, I am truly indebted to my advisor, Macklin Smith. This thesis would not be nearly as thorough in rap’s historical background or in hip hop poetics without his intelligent ideas. His helpfulness with drafts, inclusion of his own work in e-mails, and willingness to meet over coffee not only deepened my understanding of my own topic, but also made me excited to write and research hip hop poetics. I cannot express how much I appreciated his feedback and flexibility in working with me. I am also grateful for Gillian White’s helpfulness throughout the writing process, as well. After several office hours and meetings outside of class, she has offered invaluable insight into theories on sincerity and the “personal,” and provided me with numerous resources that helped form many of the ideas expressed in my argument. I thank my family for supporting me and offering me hospitality when the stresses of thesis writing overwhelmed me on campus. They have been supportive and a source of love and compassion throughout this process and the past 21 years, as well.

The impulse to define “me” or “us” against an “other” has been dis- cussed by writers and thinkers as diverse as Aristotle, Plato, Jacques Lacan, Frantz Fanon, Julia Kristeva, Stephen King, and Octavia But- ler, among others. Moreover, the impulse seems to predate the human tradition of writing our thoughts down for posterity.
