Homecoming Triumphant For ‘Dropout’ Kanye West

Joshua Klein of the Chicago Tribune reviewed Kanye West’s Monday night (May 3) sold-out House of Blues show. Klein writes, “West proved as invigorating a performer as he’s inventive as a producer, bounding across the stage in his preppy white blazer as he relayed the alternately proud and proudly geeky material from ‘College Dropout’. He rhymed about his old dead-end job in ‘Spaceship’, then talked spiritual guidance with the dramatic ‘Jesus Walks’. ‘All Falls Down’ took aim at the trappings of fame, while ‘Slow Jamz’ poked fun at R&B conventions while exploiting them at the same time.”
