Kanye turned down $4.5 mil to perform in Vegas

[Ego Noir]

What does that have to do with Las Vegas???
He's had songs with Chief Keef, how does that look on his resume... ..how does that look on his resume??

He used Keef to add a bit of edge. And he used it for Yeezus breh.

Performing in a long stretch in Vegas is shyt washed up or trashy artists do like Britney Spears.

Lets see who would have a bigger concert in Paris and Tokyo

Snoop could get something very close to that if he went the Vegas residency route. IMO he should be the first rapper to do a residency; lives only a few hours away, has the catalog, isn't a diva, doesn't take himself too seriously. Makes too much sense.

snoop the only guy who has the catalog and the type of fun party records to do a show like that ...

plus his original fan base is in the +40 range

they go to a show they feel "safe" at---- and relive the chronic and doggy-style

...guess the Whoredashians haven't drove him complete nuts yet

Youre officially washed up when you do that

as opposed to wearing wigs and tweefing with iggy azalea

OK I'm hip now..... I see why Ye turned it down but damn that's a lot of money. I respect his decision though. Ye career still in its prime IMO

their not doing im any favors. he can sell out any venue in any country for like 200 a ticket.

im not sure that the vegas thing would be a good career move.

Celine Dion =/= Kanye West

Celine Dion has a perception of a past prime artist living off of legacy.

The only exception to this rule is the one Beyonce did. Vegas is not a place you want to be seen performing if youre a current artist.

Kanye is a different type of artist. Theres probably nobody else in that bracket but Jay Z

Did Eminem die?

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Bbbbut theres no rappers on Britneys level that could make that much money in Vegas

Did Eminem die?

No he just fell off

 

[Born2BKing]

No he just fell off

He sells more and draws more than any rapper in the WORLD

You do the long term residency for security when you're on the wrong side of your career. Doesn't leave much time for making new music and exploring other ventures when you're tethered to Vegas 3 nights out of the week.

It is also ideal for when you're old and want stability for your kids (like Celine, Britney and J-lo). Why travel all over the country/world to make dough when you can perform in the same venue, night after night, and have your fans come to you + you get to see your children everyday?
