Kanye West explains why he threw his microphone during the
Donda 2 listening party. He describes feeling constrained by promoters who insisted he had to perform in a certain way, comparing it to being "forced to mix Taco Bell and KFC" or "tequila with cognac." Kanye emphasizes that his listening sessions are actually "performance art" installations where he typically wears a mask. He explains that throwing the mic was an act of reclaiming control, referencing how he had previously tweeted his contracts for similar reasons. Despite promoters being able to sell 50,000 seats in five days, he resented being told to "grab that mic, boy."He mentions that fans attend his events to experience "new sounds" and "new visuals," specifically praising the "motorcycle" and other visual elements at the event. Kanye positions himself as being at the "forefront" of "freedom" and "free thought" for 20 years, contrasting this with what he sees as the consumer culture of repeatedly buying "the same forced ones" and "the same iPhone over and over."*There may be errors on this page.
