Jay-Z rumors went from luke-warm to boiling over the weekend for this year’s ‘Roo party, which opens the door for one thing: The Return of Rockafella protege Mr. West. Kanye, as we all remember, decided to delay his “Glow in the Sticks’ ‘Roo show til the sun was up a year and a half ago, enraging many in the audience at the same time. [Some of this was Pearl Jam's fault as the Seattle rockers ran late, but they are only at minor fault as Kanye then reportedly had one of his ego trips that delayed the show further.] When he did hit the stage – at the ripe hour of 4:30 a.m. – people threw his glow sticks back at him and went on to spray paint ‘not-so nice-things’ after Kanye refused to even apolgize for the delay.
Back to present tense, having Jay-Z at The Farm this year would be the perfect venue for Kanye to return to the public eye. Following the Taylor Swift incident last year at the MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye left the spotlight and has been rarely seen in the public eye. In short, he says he wants to be a better person and returning to the stage (under Jay-Zs watchful eye) would be a good way to do that.
In addition, the media loves stories such as this. Think of the headline: “Disgraced Rapper Makes Triumphant Return”. Time will tell if this comes to fruition, but I like the chances if Jay-Z hits The ‘Roo this summer.
