Kanye Takes Jay-Z To His Chicago 'Hood

By Shakenya Jackson

Shakenya JacksonJAY-Z AND KANYE stepped down from their throne and frolicked near 77th and South Shore Drive in Yeezy's hometown Chicago last week.

The duo were mobbed by fans on Nov. 1, the same night as their second show at the United Center for the Watch The Throne tour. Footage was taken from the impromptu meet & greet and used during the show that evening.

Although criticized for their capitalistic aspirations on much of the Throne collab, Jay-Z says one of the most important lines in their smash N*ggas in Paris is "If you escaped what I escaped, you'd be in Paris getting f*cked up too."

Kanye, and Mr. Carter in particular, have ascended from very humble beginnings. Perhaps their pilgrimage to the streets that helped shape West's beautiful mind gave supporters and fans the chance to believe that they too could escape.

That's a very noble gesture.

Here's a taste of the Chicago show that night.

Shakenya Jackson believes in the power of swag. She also enjoys long walks in the park and dirty dishes.
