Kanye West Rants About Nike's Mark Parker and More at Bridgestone Arena

On Nov. 27, Kanye West brought his Yeezus Tour to a largely undersold Bridgestone Arena. Several factors are likely to blame for all of the empty seats — it was Thanksgiving Eve, and the show had been tacked onto the tour itinerary and

. Nevertheless, it was a thoroughly entertaining performance — complete with all the messianic imagery we've been

about — and The Spin will have a review of that for you later today. For now, however, get a load of this.

Amid all of Kanye's wild production — from the dozen nearly nude women who carried him around to a fire-breathing glacier and a gigantic, circular LED screen — came a 20-minute big-picture rant from the enraging-to-some MC. Cream contributor Lance Conzett was slated to take photos of the show for us, but he was not granted a photo pass (which appears to be the standard for every show on this tour: no photos, at all). Still, Conzett was there, and he managed to capture all 20 minutes (well, 19 minutes, 49 seconds) of Ye's rant on video. (Here's Lance's YouTube page.) In the clip, which you can watch above, the mask-clad West asks in an Auto-Tuned croon, "Can I talk my shit at y'all?" He proceeds to discuss how he's perceived, his celebrity, his ambitions and his relationships with various corporations (spoiler: they need him more than he needs them) — he doesn't care for the fact that corporations treat him "like I ain't the most important artist of the past 10 years," or "like 15,000 people don't come [to see him] every night." He calls out Nike honcho Mark Parker for "letting go of culture" and not taking Kanye's calls, despite the popularity of the Air Yeezys. "Nike would make you believe that it was my fault you couldn't get [the Yeezys], but that was not the case." He goes on to note that he doesn't "care about another Grammy," and that the heads of both Disney and Louis Vuitton had wished him a happy Thanksgiving that day.

Also, do not tell Kanye to take his mask off. Do you not look at the World Wide Web? It comes off when white Jesus comes out.
