NSFW: Kanye West Sings Love Song To Corporate Sponsorship
In case there was any doubt how much Kanye West cares for the business part of the music business, this 10-minute ballad to corporate sponsorship will put all doubts firmly to rest. The transcript of Kanye's post Valentine's Day song tirade from a recent London show can also be found here.
As highlighted in the LA Times, the centerpiece of the rant went something like this:
"Can I sell a drink for you please? So you can help me put on a better show. Please, corporations. Can you please support me? I swear I'm a nice ... now. I swear I'll put the pink polo back on. I swear to you. Please. Just for $3 million. I need it so bad. I need a new pool in my backyard. "
Speaking of drinks, though not called out by name, Absolut has been a sponsor of Kanye's tours in the past and while the recent rant may close the door on future sponsorship deals, it seems there's still a price for bar mitzvahs. According to the New York Post, the artist recently asked for a cool $1 mil to perform at a New York bar mitzvah.
