Let’s give ’em something to talk about! 

Kanye West has made it crystal clear that is is a self-proclaimed genius and he’ll continue to push the artistic envelope as much as he can. Case in point? This weekend’s concert. Rocking Margiela and a fresh pair of Yeezus 2 sneakers, Ye kicked off his tour in Seattle, giving concert-goers a two hour set. The Chicago-bred’s visuals included symbolic masks (4 to be exact) worn by Yeezy, dancers, over-the-top displays (he performed on top of what appeared to be a mountain), etc. His set also included a few rants, an emotional moment (when performing ‘Hey Mama’) and a what many are buzzing about Sunday morning, his Jesus impersonator.

Before beginning his ‘Jesus Walks‘ song, a Caucasian Jesus impersonator had a brief conversation with Kanye telling the rapper:

Kanye, Kanye. I didn’t come here to make bad people feel good. I came here to make dead people alive. To show people life. The life of truth and beauty.

Next stop? The Yeezus tour will be hitting Vancouver, with Kendrick Lamar performing with a live band. No word on if Jesus will be joining.
