During a recent discussion, Ebro questioned the significance of Kanye’s record-breaking performances in Texas, suggesting that stadium configurations and stage setups can influence attendance figures and make crowds appear more impressive.
Rosenberg took things a step further, mocking the narrative surrounding Kanye’s comeback.
“He was down to his last billion. Could he make it?” Rosenberg joked, questioning whether Kanye’s financial success ever truly disappeared.
The conversation also turned to Kanye’s past controversies, with Rosenberg arguing that meeting with a rabbi doesn’t automatically resolve the issues surrounding his previous statements and behavior.
However, one of Rosenberg’s biggest criticisms focused on Kanye’s actual performance abilities. He suggested that Ye relies heavily on elaborate stage production and visuals rather than traditional performance elements.
“He stands on a globe, bro. He stands there,” Rosenberg said.
Despite the criticism, the panel acknowledged Kanye’s impressive music catalog and ability to create unforgettable concert experiences.
One panelist even argued that Kanye could be Hip-Hop’s greatest live performer when compared to Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Travis Scott, and JAY-Z.
“He might be the best of everyone you just said,” the panelist argued.
The debate raises an interesting question: Does being a great performer require dancing and constant movement, or can music, stage presence, and production alone make someone the best?
🚨 Ebro and Peter Rosenberg QUESTION Kanye West’s RECORD-BREAKING stadium shows in Texas, with Ebro suggesting the attendance numbers can be made to look more impressive through stage setups, while Rosenberg questions whether Kanye is even THAT GREAT OF A PERFORMER. Ebro says people kept telling him how record-breaking Ye’s shows were, but argues that he knows how venues can be arranged to fit more people and make the numbers look bigger. Rosenberg MOCKS Kanye’s comeback narrative: “He was down to his LAST BILLION. Could he make it?” He also questions whether Kanye has done enough to address his past controversies, arguing that meeting with a rabbi doesn’t automatically make everything right. The debate gets even MORE CONTROVERSIAL when Rosenberg questions Ye’s actual performing ability, arguing that his shows rely heavily on VISUALS rather than dancing or musicianship. “He stands on a globe, bro. He stands there.” Despite the criticism, the crew gives Kanye credit for his incredible production and catalog, with one panelist arguing that Ye might actually be the BEST HIP-HOP PERFORMER when compared to Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Travis Scott and Jay-Z. “He might be the best of everyone you just said.” Via Ebro, Laura & Rosenberg
