Kanye West 'Yeezus' Tour: Rapper Wears Masks And Invites Jesus On Stage [VIDEO]
Kanye West is all about the details. From flashing lights, snow flurries and a dozen dancers to a red-eyed demon, a giant moving mountain and even Jesus Christ, the Chicago-native rapper brings an eye-opening spectacle to the audience during his ongoing tour, "Yeezus." He goes on a quest to find higher power.
On the opening night of his tour in Seattle, Washington, West delayed the concert a couple of hours, making sure that everything would go perfectly the way he envisioned. More than 15,000 fans crowded the locked doors of the Key Arena, anticipating for the show to go on.
Shortly before 10 p.m., the tour finally opened with Kendrick Lamar's performance, as he began singing his hit, "Money Trees." The Compton rapper performed several choice cuts from his platinum-selling "good kid, m.A.A.d city" album through the 45-minute portion of the concert. K-Dot ended his act with "Compton," an ode to his hometown, leaving the crowd chanting his name for more. After Lamar's performance, it took almost an hour to set up Kanye West's massive stage, and to prepare his two-hour exciting show.
As the insane bleeps of "On Sight" came on, blasting through the speakers, Kanye West appeared on the stage. He strutted down the 50-feet runway, preceded by 12 female dancers in a white dress. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper then climbed the set's sixty-foot tall mountain to perform "Cold" from last year's album, "Cruel Summer," after performing his smash track, "Mercy."
There were several wardrobe changes, which they all were remarkable and definitely made a bold fashion statement. He wore four different elaborate masks created by a couture fashion designer, Maison Martin Margiela. Yeezy sported a blue tank top matched with a gold mask, a puffy bomber jacket with a black mask after, then eventually wore white mask while his 12 dancers in sheer bodysuit waltzed down the stage, swinging thurible, filling the arena with Catholic incense.
'Ye performed "I wonder," as well as an emotional tune, "Hey Mama," and "Stronger," before an actor dressed as "White Jesus" appeared on the stage, which made the crowd to widen their eyes even more. The religious theatrics led to "Jesus Walks," his single from 2004 album, "The College Dropout."
At the end of his mind-blowing two-hour performance, Kanye West and his 12 female disciples bowed to Jesus on the mountaintop, gave praises shouting, "Yeezus!" until the house lights came on.
