Entertainment Weekly gave Kanye's "Glow In the Dark" tour a B+. The
review went on to state great things about Kanye, but was less kind to his opening acts. The reviewer, Chris Willman, wrote, "
[Lupe Fiasco]...suffered from rapping to studio tracks, (& 'Kick, Push' deserves more than a reduced medley slot).
Pharrell Williams is no great singer..."
He was even more scathing towards Rihanna. "...'Umbrella,' felt off, with the rain-gear-wielding backup dancers working harder to sell the smash than she did. Ri-Ri needs to ramp up the charisma..."
Those are fighting words, & you know Kanye was coming back with something. He wrote on his blog,
"Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try to throw yall to cents in? Yall rated my album shitty and now yall come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what,
fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and loose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art.
Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me... BOW!!! This is not pop, it's pop art! Chris Willman, kill yourself!"What did they expect...Everyone knows Kanye doesn't play well with others, unless they're kissing his ass.
