Jay-Z and Kanye West bring ‘Watch The Throne’ show to London O2 Arena

Posted by Kenfolk on May 19th, 2012

Jay-Z and Kanye West’s ‘Watch The Throne’ tour made its debut in London last night (May 18), marking the first of five consecutive shows at the city’s O2 Arena.

Fans may have been disappointed by the lack of special guests – there was no sign of ‘Watch The Throne’ guest stars Beyoncé, Bon Iver or Frank Ocean. But the two hour, 40-song set dug deep into the pair’s collaborative 2011 album ‘Watch The Throne’ – including ‘No Church In The Wild’, ‘That’s My Bitch’, ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ and ‘Niggas In Paris’ – with long detours into their respective solo catalogues.

An elaborate stage set saw the pair backed by fiery pyrotechnics, or facing each other over the heads of the audience on huge illuminated square platforms that rose and fell.

Kanye West performed a lengthy solo segment that drew heavily on the Autotune stylings of his 2008 album ’808s & Heartbreak’, while Jay-Z seemed to pay tribute to his daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, on ‘New Day’, dedicating it to “those thinking of their loved ones tonight” and encouraging “everyone in the house who takes care of their kids, make some noise!”

The set also took a political turn, as the pair turned their back to the audience and faced images of the Ku Klux Klan, images of black American slaves and footage of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the sound of Louis Armstrong’s ‘What A Wonderful World’.

The two-hour set concluded with not one but four runs through ‘Watch The Throne’ single ‘Niggas In Paris’, with West proclaiming: “This is the realest shit you’ll ever see!”

The Watch The Throne tour plays at London’s O2 Arena until next Tuesday (May 22).

Jay-Z and Kanye West played:

‘H.A.M’
‘Who Gon’ Stop Me’
‘Otis’
‘Welcome To The Jungle’
‘Gotta Have It’
‘Where I’m From’

Willie Nelson says legalising marijuana would ‘save a whole lot of lives’

Posted by Kenfolk on May 19th, 2012

Willie Nelson has insisted that legalising marijuana would save “a whole lotta” lives and money.

The country singer – who teamed up with rapper Snoop Dogg to release the pro-cannabis track ‘Roll Me Up’ last month (April 21) – told the Guardian that smoking weed wasn’t “dangerous healthwise” and said it should be decriminalised.

Asked whether the drug should be legalised, he replied: “It has to, because economically we need the money – why give it to criminals? Most people realise it’s not a deadly drug like cocaine or cigarettes.

“Cigarettes killed my mother, my dad, half my family, so don’t tell me about health when you’re talking about legalising marijuana because it’s not dangerous healthwise,” he added. “I’m the canary in the mine, and I’m still healthy. Had I stayed with alcohol I would have been dead or in prison somewhere today.”

Talking about the benefits of decriminalisation, he went on to say:

If we made everything legal we would save a whole lotta money, a whole lotta lives. If we taxed and regulated the drugs the way they do in other parts of the world, we would be far better off, I think.

Nelson – who was arrested in 2010 for marijuana possession – revealed earlier this month (May 9) that he turned down Roseanne Barr’s offer to be her Presidential running mate. The country music legend has released over 200 albums and won seven Grammy Awards during his career.
