THE NIGGA PEAKED

I sold my 700v3s after like 3 wears cause I couldn't believe how uncomfortable they were lol

Lot of yeezys designs are typically Amazing regardless of timeless-ness

Lmao I was 100% kidding but ty for the link, appreciate you!

What the f*** lol crazy

Classic era, but was the beginning of Ye becoming much lazier with his music

I remember them live casting this into the theater i worked out. crazy experience. 10 years wow.

I really went to the theater solo to watch this s*** lol. Got chipotle after

I agree.

But I still rock with KSG, Ye, Donda, and V1 personally.

It's JIK, D2, and V2 that I don't like and see as weak efforts.

Bro I did the same thing! Drove two hours to see it cause it wasn't playing in my local theatre.

The stretch from FML through NMPILA has never been topped since

I was one of the models in the show

Incredible 36 hour experience ...

Got to listen to Pablo with 100ish other models and Ye the night before the show ... Just us in a completely empty MSG at like 2am.

LGND

Sacrificing yourself for the benefit of humanity. Christ like behavior.

the beginning of the end

Real friends... how many of us

most uncomfortable shoe I’ve ever had, s*** falls to bits as well the sole is so inflexible

wtf tell more pls

Bless you

Peaked

Legit blew me away. The 700v2 is still the most comfortable shoe I ever wore.

I also saw cracking and s*** after just 1 wear so I said f*** it and sold them.

I got them for like $40 right after Kanye lost the adidas deal and was super disappointed

I got a very random casting call that said something about a kanye west fashion show, TOMORROW. Said yes immediately..

I report to MSG at like 10pm and sure enough a bunch of black ppl in are getting filed into the arena. We’re just floating through a bunch of rooms in MSG for a while. Some ppl get sent home, I get pulled in. They take measurements and then they just send us to the 100 level to chill for a few hours, dk why. Think we had some snacks and s***. But sitting in MSG at like midnight, basically all the power off -- was some special s*** by itself.

Eventually music starts playing, unfamiliar tracks but definitely Kanye -- all of us eventually deduce it’s the f***ing album. A few mins later we see someone in the seats on the other side of the arena dancing crazy. Then he makes his way, through the seats, over to us and as he gets closer we realize it’s f***ing HIM. I’ll never forget this image… he just jumps into the mob of ppl and dances with us for a few minutes. Then leaves. We get sent home after.

Have to report back to MSG early next morning. They bussed us out to Jersey to a giant warehouse with mountains of generic yeezy-esque clothes. Everyone gets styled and sent back to the bus. My fit was f***ing crazy. I wanted to steal it. Then, costumed up, we get driven back to MSG.

They load us directly onto the MSG floor where we are told to just chill. Our only instructions are basically, when the show begins, we have to remain as still as possible through the entirety of the album. Like statues. I wasn’t on the stage thing but I was in the crowd on the ground.

They cover us in the sheet before any of the audience gets let in. Literally just siting there under a sheet for hours. But we start to hear ppl and s***. Ultralight Beam starts and the sheet gets pulled to reveal all of us as the song ends. it’s the first time we see we are completely surrounded by screaming people. Insane energy. People are losing their minds at this point.

The concert/listening party is crazy. I'm right by Kim and s***. Bunch of celebs front row just staring at us lol.

No one wants to stand still for the entire s*** so eventually ppl sit, lean, etc. A rogue group ended up rushing the stage thing in the center. Def wasn’t supposed to happen but production ran with it. I wanted to join in but it was too far.

I’m in the video in OP somewhere I gotta find it again. Truly one of the most wild, random, only in NYC days of my life.

Has anyone ever asked Earl Sweatshirt about those sessions and if he contributed anything?

This should have been the final Kanye West album btw.
