It seems Kanye West's epic return to the top of pop culture culminated in what has to be considered one of the superstar's most acclaimed performances to date. Yeezy solidified his reputation as hip hop's greatest showman, and before launching into the somber "Say You Will," from 2008s 808s & Heartbreak album, West shared his feelings with the audience[video here].
"When I made that album, I was in a really dark place in my life so I had to title it...Heartbreak. Losing everything that was important to me. I always said when working on the last album [that] I couldn’t wait to perform “Power” at Coachella. See, this is the most important show to me since my mom passed and to be able to close the festival and see all of you who still love me, after everything I’ve done on TV and said the opposite, for us to still go platinum, for us to still have number ones, to have fans that were here since “Through the Wire,” you didn’t believe sh*t that they said and I really appreciate y’all tonight because you know I’m only trying to say and do what is right. I only want better for y’all, better us, the best music possible. I’m not the best singer in the world but the notes and the feeling were inside of me, so f**k it, I went ahead and did it. And to have this moment is so unbelievable, there’s many times I thought about not being here and you all make it all worth it."
