Kanye West’s ‘Vultures’ Setlist Nearly Shows Full Catalog in South Korea

It seemed inevitable that Kanye West would eventually remove himself from the US amidst the fallout from his controversial actions. His offenses include spreading antisemitic memes, sexually harassing business partners, and intimidating anyone who dares to question him.

As a result, his domestic reception has waned, pushing him to seek new audiences abroad. Recently, West brought his latest Vultures Listening Experience to South Korea. Performing at the Goyang Stadium in Goyang-si, he delivered a setlist featuring tracks from his new album alongside popular hits from his extensive catalog. Cultural differences may have softened the impact of his previous controversies during this international performance.

Among the songs Kanye performed were well-loved tracks like “All Falls Down,” “Gold Digger,” “Stronger,” “Heartless,” “Power,” and “Black Skinhead,” creating a resonating connection with his fans despite the distance and his recent controversies.

By taking his music to a global stage, Kanye West may be attempting to reinvent his narrative and perhaps seek refuge from the intense scrutiny he faces in the United States. Whether his international audience will embrace him unconditionally remains to be seen. What’s clear is that his ability to draw a crowd remains undiminished, regardless of the controversy surrounding him.

Recent performances like the one in South Korea suggest that Kanye might find a second wind abroad, where his past actions might not overshadow his musical talent as they do at home. The rapper’s journey continues to be a complex one, marred by self-inflicted issues but buoyed by an enduring global fan base.
