Storytellers hasn’t been very active in the Celebreality era. The VH1 series (in which Meat Loaf and Jewel once shared their inspiration in intimate venues) hosted only Mary J. Blige and Kid Rock in 2008. Perhaps Yeezy will breathe new life into the fallen franchise, like he’s done with the TR-808 and the shag. VH1 Storytellers: Kanye West was filmed at the Sony Stages in Los Angeles on 2/13 and premieres this Saturday 2/28 at 9/8c. We’ve got a sneak preview in the form of “Stronger,” though it doesn’t include the storytelling part.
Here’s the setlist:
“Nightmare”
“Robocop”
“Flashing Lights”
“Amazing”
“Say You Will”
“Stronger”
“Good Life”
“Heartless”
“Touch the Sky”
Bonus: “Love Lockdown” will be viewable online only. I guess we’ll never hear the story about how Kanye’s friend showed him pictures of his kids and all Kanye could show him was pictures of his cribs? I do like that he’s rapping in a giant Lite-Brite. I also like his hot pink shirt (nullus).

we ran
endlessly
through forests deep
and waters strong
just to get to this place
so please, kind sir…
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
A performance better than Tom Waits’? I fucking doubt it.
*looking forward emoticon*
i might have to watch this with my mom
and Stereogum’s “a Kanye post a dsy, keeps the doctor away” begins once again.
kanye, yes, tell me all about your LIFE. wanna know what INSPIRES YOU, via ridiculous quotable nonsense
I hope he explains exactly what he’d do for a blonde dyke. Anything, I suppose.
“Aaand… here’s another one about when that bitch dumped me. Hit it…”
For some reason this performance makes me think Kanye should do a rock album. Possibly something in his voice.

This is the only Storytellers that matter. Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond on SNL’s version of Storytellers.
So is Kanye gay? You know, like, on the down-low?
Seriously. What the hell is going on with his hair?
Wyclef Jean and The Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds storytellers show of what it used to be…. GOOD. This is nonsense. It’s just small shows with big production. This has all the intimacy of a wooden condom.
as underwhelming as 808s was i still think ill have to watch this
He fucking changed so much, I like the old Kanyeee.
I wish Chris Brown would have kicked HIS ass
I just gave that “exact” same shirt to Goodwill last month. I bought it back in my club days, and realized I couldn’t legitimately wear it in real life if I wasn’t on drugs. Either I’m a forebearer of fashions to come, or Kanye is definitely on some next level drug tip. Apparently all I needed was the black bowtie. Kanye sampled my fashion sense!?
What the fuck is this poop talking about? What does Tom Waits have to do with this?
