He\u2019s spent the last 7-8 years tearing his empire down, keeping people in through his past glories. Maybe he could catch fire again. That artist we all know and loved has to still be in there. Some artists have dissociated from him in recent years. Guys like Pusha T, John Legend, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/yung-lean-explains-why-it-was-important-to-distance-himself-from-mentally-ill-kanye-west\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Yung Lean<\/a> are examples. However, it seems like, with his apologies for antisemitism and the aid of Travis Scott, he might come back in good graces.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Scott performed in Japan, where he brought out Kanye West underneath a mask. It would\u2019ve been extremely easy to start with his most recent hit \u201cCarnival\u201d to keep promoting his lukewarm Vultures album. Instead, Ye goes back in his rich catalog and pulls one of his all-time best songs \u201cCan\u2019t Tell Me Nothing.\u201d Initially, it\u2019s awkward; he\u2019s just standing there in a big mask and a big coat. Then, he finally unmasks and the crowd goes nuts.<\/p>\n<p>Travis Scott Brings Out Kanye West for Vintage Performance<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, Ye didn\u2019t look exactly thrilled to be there. He didn\u2019t even really perform and the response from the crowd seemed to barely register in his brain. Thankfully, though, it didn\u2019t stop there. He also <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chiefflips\/status\/1987138290697322697?s=46&amp;t=lZPymPeAXSukHIVfstEEqQ\" rel=\"nofollow\">performed<\/a> another classic from his discography, \u201cThrough The Wire.\u201d There, Kanye West isn\u2019t just letting the backtrack do all the work for him, spitting some of his vintage lines. <\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the fans are still amped as ever online, the love still firm despite all of the mess and drama he brings upon himself. Sentiments that the world is healing, they \u2018used to pray for times like this,\u2019 People want Kanye West back\u2013 we\u2019ll see if he can satiate their desires for the old version of himself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Could we be seeing the slow rehabilitation of Kanye West and his public image?
