Kanye West with the help of Pusha T (half of the Clipse duo) closed the Video Music Awards last night with a new track from his untitled upcoming album.
Extravagant stage affects all centered around Kanye West, dressed in a bright red suit with shoes to match, creating the instrumental live on stage through a beat machine. The new song the two performed was "Runaway", a song dedicated to his droves of haters that lead to "Kanye" cheers immediately after the performance's end and dissension amongst other spectators as to whom he was refering.
West made a great decision debuting this song on the VMA's, the same award show at which he was chastised for interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech a year before. Many spectators of last year's award show and those who heard about the occurrence have yet to forgive him and still hold a grudge against him. The venue and message of "Runaway" is a great blow to those who still slander him.
Taking all of that into consideration, the performance one of the better but not the best of the night and if it didn't have the show closing build-up would have probably disappointed people.
It's funny how one year the fans could be asking for your head on a platter, the next they're chanting your name.
