It was a bizarre setting in which to appraise a piece of music. To be honest, it was kind of hard to tell for sure. In front of this crowd was a massive multitiered stage covered in stoic models sporting the Yeezy Season 3 fashion line that occupied most of the arena.ĭespite the overwhelming size of the fashion display, the primary focus of this strange event was the content of West's seventh studio album, and when he asked the crowd if that content lived up to the hype, they agreed that it did.

Athletes were there, including Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick 'Swaggy P' Young, who stood right next to 2 Chainz and probably inhaled enough secondhand smoke to fail his next drug test. Young Thug, Kid Cudi and Travis Scott were there. Surrounding him was a dense crowd of collaborators and celebrities. West, who wore a red 'I Feel Like Pablo' long-sleeve shirt and a black baseball cap, spoke from behind a table of computers and audio gear at one end of the arena's floor. 'Did I deliver on my promise with that album?'

'New York City, tell me how y'all feel,' Kanye West yelled to a crowd of 20,000 fans at Madison Square Garden on Thursday afternoon, his first words after unveiling his much-anticipated album The Life of Pablo through the PA of the world's most famous arena.
