** The second event was rather uneventful, but the last one? Featured a ''replica of Kanye's childhood home'' with a cross on top, arguably as a [[InMemoriam symbolic visage to his late mother]].
** Near the end, Kanye had himself '''''set on fire'''''. And he walked out like it was just a normal night.

* Pick any of the ''Donda'' listening events. No, seriously, any of them. All three of them, especially the second and third ones, were downright bone chillingly. Especially Kanye being '''''lifted into the fucking sky''''' in the second event.

* Kanye's TakeThat at Ray J in "Highlights", replying to Ray's claim that he "hit it first"--with "it" being Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian. The fact of the matter is that Kanye's so far ahead compared to Ray (Kanye's net worth is $145 million compared to Ray's $6 million) that he doesn't care, and while Ray got a few nights with Kim, Kanye got a lifetime commitment. It's not about who hit it first, but who hit it ''right''.

And despite the eventual divorce, Kanye still won considering he was able to have a family, with children who love him and a woman who stood by him for so long.

There's a whole thread on ROCEJ on Donald Trump. I also removed all examples related to politics. Knock it off.


* Whether you agree with him or not, his ability to proudly support Donald Trump as the President of the United States, especially in the current political climate, is an awesome moment.
** Doubly so when he tweeted out that [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped black people don't have to be Democrats]].

You know since this is going to turn into an Edit War, it's best to remove examples related to politics.


* His ending to his 2015 [=VMA=]s acceptance speech.
-->"And yes, as you probably could've guessed by this moment, [[https://vine.co/v/eIpe7qxU2jP I have decided in 2020 to run for president]]."
* From "Facts": "''2020, IMMA RUN THE WHOLE ELECTION!''"

* Regardless of what you think of it, Kanye having the balls to proudly support Donald Trump in the current, anti-Trump, political climate.
** In addition, when he told everyone [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped black people don't have to be democrats]], he's responded to all the backlash, a lot of which has been racist with a straight face and hasn't retracted his statement
