Kanye West |
Kanye West opened and closed his headlining set at the
Governors Ball Music Festival on Sunday night (June 9) with the high-octane
Yeezus track "Black Skinhead," and in between that he delivered
everything from classics like "All Falls Down," to three brand-new
tracks from his upcoming sixth solo LP.
MTV reports that during the show, West recalled earlier days
in his career when the label would force him to hold an album until the
"right moment" in order to generate the most sales and radio play,
but for 'Ye, those days are long gone, along with any desire to make hits just
for the airwaves.
"When I listen to radio, that ain't where I wanna be no more," he declared. "And honestly, at this point I can give a f--- about selling a million records, as long as I put out an album y'all can rock to all summer."
This bit was met with cheers, and maybe to balance out the
strong words, his next choice was "Good Life," before launching into
yet another new song, which sounded more like house than hip-hop, asking the
crowd, "Ya'll f--- with that new music?"
