THIS IS THE PHOTO BOOK FROM THE GLOW IN DARK TOUR. NABIL CAPTURED THE EXPERIENCE LIKE CRAZY! WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTOS IT BRINGS ME RIGHT BACK TO THAT TIME! IT’S VERY EMOTIONAL FOR ME BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO HAVE TO TOUR BUT MY PAIN BROUGHT MY GREATEST CREATION TO DATE. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME TO THE SHOWS AND EXPERIENCED THIS MOMENT IN TIME WITH ME! – Kanye West
An inside look at Kanye’s new GITD tour book. Which will include an interview with tour collaborator Spike Jonze, 400 photos, a CD with unreleased music and more. Hit the jump for more shots.
I still give Thank You And You’re Welcome a look over every once and awhile and the show was absolutely amazing; but I doubt I’ll be dropping $50 bucks on this.
Damnnnn those pics look INSANE…deff props!
dope way to build a larger bredth of products. not gunna cop for 50 but im sure theres more than enuff kanye stans who will
Insted of releasing unreleased material with a book of pictures he needs to be working on his next rap album. Dude has been slacking since after Graduation. Didn’t fuck with 808s after 1 listen. Dude lost his mind doing that album. Now he’s losing his mind destroying dreams on a stage making an ass out of himself.
the tour looked amazing i wish i could have gone. and tdot… i’m sure a lot of people who went to the concert will buy it. don’t have to be a ye stan to want documentation of a hard ass concert.
$50?? fuck that
i got autographed copy of Thank you and youre welcome
and to 1 Dollar, if you are such the follower on shit…you’d know he has quietly been working on a new album
that tour was awesome….ive seen him 3 times and that was the best one.
^^my favorite kanye show was when he opened up for slum village at the house of blues way back when.
Love it! Shouts out to Nabil! Great photog + video director.
someone needs to tell kanye there’s a way to turn off caps lock
^^^^yeah dude even types like an asshole lmao…i was about to go to the show in VA but i couldnt afford it at the time…still looking forward to “A Damn Good Job” but it seems like that is not coming anytime soon…
You should see the price for the deluxe edition. It’s like $150 I just checked it on the Barnes and Noble website. I went to the concert and it was badass, and this book looks badass too. I want it, and I will buy it, but I got wait til I get my money right.
^^^^LoL.Dont think he wants to.It’s ‘his thing’
To “yup”
Yeah the concert really was incredible, Kanye really knows how to put on a good show.
That tour was ill as fuck….i need to cop that book.Lupe/N.E.R.D killed that shit.
@ reupvick
I know that but he needs to step his game up and release something (which is what I’m saying) insted of making an ass out of himself where ever he goes. By the time he releases something it’ll be too damn late cause his career is damaged as of the VMA’s. To me it’s been over 2 years since he’s dropped an album cause like I said, after I heard 808s 1 time I ain’t played it again. I was that disappointed in the dude which leads up to me saying he’s been slacking since Graduation.
This seems dope, but I would much rather have a DVD…
@1 Dollar
I dont know if you can call going on a world tour and releasing a new album, no matter how bad you thought it was, can necessarily be called slacking, in which case he’s only really taken one year off, and during that year he’s been working on BP3 and killing just about every guest verse he’s had, so I dont really see how he’s been slacking at all, but whatever
@ 1 Dollar
If u a real kanye fan you gobba support him, every1 who was offended by his VMA stunt, were only people who dont listen to him or haters. I dont agree with what he did but as a artist he makes great music! plus him bein in the studio wit Madlib, Talib and Doom, and hearin 88 kets sayin this might be his best body of work, jus makes me anxious for his new album!
@ Wu-Tang is for the children
couldnt have said it any better!
oh damn shake thats way back…you got to go to that show….that must have been sick….he has a great live show.
i’d like to see a dvd of the tour
hmmm good for my coffee table
At Swagga I an a big fan of Kanye and I thought that VMA thing was disgusting but it past and it’s nothing that should still be lingering in peoples minds or conversations.
im still salty at the fact that the vegas stop of GITD was 21 and over… they didnt even let me buy a ticket. hopefully Ye comes back in town with a bigger and better ALL AGES show in the future =)
oh and a dvd of this tour would be fuckin epic
that first picture is fucking incredible
the picture is fucqing ballistic.
50 dollars…hmmm.
lemme get it for 20 i got this.
lol
and kanye
next to A on the keyboard, to the left.
use it.
pz.
Kanyezze??? two words….Fo’ Shizzy!
What an interesting and captivating book. Its good to see the “Giant behind the boards” showing us how versatile an entrepreneur he is. You Go Yezzy…a 400 picture book, exclusive interview? I would gladly donate $50 to the Kanye movement for this awesome work of art. Now if only the lyrical great H to the Izzo would put out something similar! One word for that….SOLD!
I will buy… dopest tour visuals I’ve seen, but Ye… I need a DVD tho.
Do you any of you really give a shit about Taylor what’s her face anyway? Granted he was 100% wrong but he does make good music (with the exception of 808, imo).
This is dope! I was hoping he would release something like this. I’m also hoping he’ll release a DVD too. I went to the Minneapolis GLOW IN THE DARK CONCERT. My mentor was a sound engineer backstage, so I got in the concert free and was able to shake hands with Kanye and Bishop G (Lupe’s Hype Man) as well as meet a lot of the behind the scenes musicians and engineers. The computer program used for the the stuff was crazy complex! It was one of my best experiences in life ever. Plus, I got to chill with Nicki Jean, one of the hottest women EVER! I never got a chance to go to a MJ concert in my life time, so this had to be the closest thing to it. I like when performers, especially in hip hop, do innovative and creative things with their stage show.
Sidebar: Lupe was MAD funny. He was selling “The Cool” to people in the crowd. Afterwards, he ran outside to sell some. The security was like “HEY! He can’t go out there!” And he just went anyways…lol. Kept it real…trying to get them sales up. LOL!
Great stuff though. Don’t give up on Kanye peoples. I’m sure he has a great new album in stored for us and what Kanye fan WOULDN’T want some unreleased material and memorabilia. I know if I’m in the financial position to get this, I’ll cop it.
i was so fucked up at the concert wen they came to vegas ..dont remember much …
anyway pics look dope..def aint coppin haha
Kanye is a Gayfish…and I don’t people who interrupt talented young artist and throw fits over fried chicken!! I would punch him in the face if I saw punk bitch he prolly gay on the low! GAYFISHHHH KANYE
@Ray Liotta
Heath Ledger yourself please. KThxBye!
yea yeaaaa nice book and everything but whoever buys this book is an idiot..
Why does he keep talkin about his pain like hes the only one that ever been through anything? Im a big fan but this is making me reconsider, hes exploiting it
*is a Ye stand and will GLADLY drop 50 bucks*
Micky, WTF are you talking about. He said during that time he was in PAIN. He started the tour at the end of 2007 into 2008, right when his mom had died. C’mon now.
man this looks dope real inspiring for me if anything. might just have to steal that shit…lol
Amazon.com has it for like $31. Copped.
[...] Just got mine in the mail. STUPID. [...]
