2019年5月31日，Netflixにて，今となっては偉大なるコメディアンであり全米トークショーホストであるデイヴィッド・レターマン（David Letterman）の番組『My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman』にて，カニエ・ウェストが登場します。そのトレーラーは以下のとおりです。
BEAST mode, motherfuckers ’bout to get hit
with so many foul lines, you’ll think I’m a FREE throw
figured it was about time for people to EAT crow
you about to get out-rhymed, how could I be DEthroned?
I stay on my toes like the REpo, a beHEmoth in SHEEP’s clothes
from the EAST Coast to the west, I’m the ETHOS and I’m THE goat
who the best, I don’t gotta say a fuckin’ THING, though
’cause emCEEs know
My granny 88, she had my uncle and then
A miscarriage back-to-back every year for like ten
Pregnant with my moms, doctor told her it was slim
Was bed rode for nine months, but gave birth in the end
Pops turned 60, he proud what we done
In one generation, he came from Africa young
He said he met my moms at the Century Club
カーダシアンとカニエ夫婦の自宅が見れるというこの企画，レアな映像です。先日ニューシーズン（シーズン１６）がスタートした米リアリティＴＶショー『Keeping Up With The Kardashians』（邦題：カーダシアン家のお騒がせセレブライフ）の最新エピソードでもカニエ・ウェストが登場しておりました。しかし，ここまでキム＆カニエの私的な生活を映した番組は初めてではないでしょうか。カーダシアン家のプレイベートライフはＴＶで放映されまくりですが，カニエが絡んでくるというのは，めずらしいと思います。いかがでしょう。
[Verse]
Gentrify your own hood, before these people do it
Claim eminent domain and have your people movin’
That’s a small glimpse into what Nipsey was doing
For anybody that’s still confused as to what he was doing
The neighborhood is designed to keep us trapped
They red line us, so property declines if you live by blacks
They depress the asset and take the property back
It’s a ruthless but a genius plan in fact
So now we fighting over scraps
Crabs in a barrel, but crabs don’t belong in the barrel and they ain’t never tell us that
So in the barrel, we gonna act like we act
We can easily get out the barrel if we stand on each other’s back
Whoever gets on top, as long as they stay attached
They gonna pull everybody out
I was doing just that
I told Neighborhood Nipsey stay close
There’s a 100 million dollars on your schedule, lay low
Tell your team to be on point in the places that they go
I never dreamed that he get killed in the place that he called home
How we gonna get in power if we kill the source?
Y’all like to run off on the plug, so of course
That ain’t lit, that’s a means to an end
Me and my team was playing the plug ahead of plan
Sometimes we was only making a $1000 a joint
That ain’t no money, but that ain’t main point
So those 92 bricks was only 92 thou
So y’all can close your mouth, it ain’t nothing for y’all to wild (wow)
But it is something to study
We was chasing our goals, not chasing money
Niggas chasing hoes, we find that funny
I pull up in the Rolls, that hoe gon’ want me
But I don’t want no hoe, I want a wife
Somebody to bounce these ideas off at night
I be going to sleep hoping Nip visit me
That young king had a lot of jewels to split with me
And we ain’t gotta leave the hood physically
But we gotta leave that shit mentally
これはファレルもさることながら，カニエ・ウェストが全世界に広めたことでも有名なKAWS先生のキャラクターです。本件ミュージック・フェス“Something In The Water”のコンセプトは，何かの物体（Something）が海に浮かんでいる（in the water）。それが浜辺に乗り上げて，ポツンとこのビーチに座っているわけです。それがこのデッカいキャラクターなのです。これは浜辺に乗り上げた姿なのです。そこから，この物体（＝KAWSのHolidayキャラクター）がライヴステージを鑑賞している，という考え方なのです。ですから，この“Something In The Water”ミュージックフェスの主役は，ライヴで演奏するアーティストたちでもはなく，主宰者のファレル・ウィリアムスでもなく，コイツ＝KAWSのキャラクターなのです。彼（彼女？無性？）のためにライヴをやり，彼（彼女？無性？）のためにフェスを開催している，というコンセプトであります。
