Paraphrasing but it went something like "It's not that I want to feed my family, it's that I want to feed my family WELL."He said this?

He was talking about how Nike was making a killing/inciting murder over his Yeezy's yet they didn't give him any creative control over when or how they were released and refused to give him any royalties on the line.
People had been pressing him like "well do you need royalties or the like" (Jordan gets royalties) and he replied yes because it's good money and his hard work.
There's a difference between refusing to play 9 shows in Vegas at a place that may or may not be a ****** establishment and getting jerked over respected work you've already done/want to do.
I'm sure there's a lot of things he wouldn't do for a quick pay day.

Would've been a potential nice platform to debut the new music, like you would have to attend the show to hear new music, not to mention his pop-up shops that sell merch that also bring in good money

If that were the case he would've done it. Nobody does Vegas shows like that unless you washed up. Everybody knows that. You perform the hits everybody knows and everybody's happy. ****** ain't premiering new music at them Vegas concerts bro.

Everyone watch out, we have a Vegas expert in here breaking it down for us.
4.5 million for 9 shows ain't "washed up" money, no matter how you slice it.

So let me get this straight, tho...
You guys are criticizing him because he didn't want to do some shows?
And now to justify your criticism, you're speculating on the dude's bank accounts?
Who cares??
@illphillip come get your boys.

Britney Spears makes 1 Mil a show now.
She hot in the streets right?
Her and Celine Dion?
We get it, it's a lot of money. But it's not a smart move.
For some people, integrity is priceless.
And Vegas residencies for the most part are done at the tail end of your career.

$500,000 a show is bread but I'm pretty sure Kanye could command a mil a show

Couldn't agree more. Dying artists go to Vegas to capitalize on the hits they had in the past, kind of like a greatest hits show.
Kanye still has more to do musically and is way too relevant to be doing Vegas gigs. I can see Jay doing Vegas 5-10 years from now if the deal is right.

According to Complex,
"Kanye's live shows catch a lot of flack from basics who don't like his rants. Well, the “Yeezus Tour,” rants and all, was still the second-best-selling tour of 2013 and trailed only Paul McCartney"
...if he's making 500K a show, why not redefine what it means to be a "Vegas Performer"? It's still the same amount he'd get from nine shows, $4.5million right?
Being with Kim maybe good for him personally, but defending her hurt his career. SNL pretty much threw him to the sharks last year.

No she doesn't. Britney was in the news for making 15million a year in Vegas. Fourty-eight 90min shows at $310k each.

Man, shut up guy ...ain't nobody arguing over his paycheck. This is a free market economy, every man's paycheck is effected by how much WE as a republic of consumers think he is worth.
