Music has always been one of the most powerful things around the world. By far probably mankind’s greatest invention. It has the power to express feelings not only through sound but as well through its lyrics.
Each song can take us on a trip back to a moment, a feeling or a person. And that is what makes all musicals have sense. Some bands and artists have been so impressive that their music has turned into a musical, such as ABBA and Green Day. But now it’s the time for a modern day “genius.”
The phantom of the soap opera.
That modern day “personality” is Kanye West, who is self-proclaimed as one of the greatest minds around in music. So to honor his ego and the “soap opera he is”, and also the funny irony of it, the guys from the James Corden show created a soap opera with his songs.
True stars.
To create the sketch they not only used Kanye’s lyrics from some of his most popular songs, they invited a cast of stars to create the soap opera scene. Including Bryan Cranston, Jessica Biel, Giovanni Ribisi, Reggie Watts, and obviously James Corden.
Real drama.
As they present us a really dramatic scene of lust and distrust, where Jessica is a love square. Yeap not even a triangle. As she has her three suitors fighting for her through some of Kanye’s best-known rhymes.
Kanye’s soap opera.
Through the sketch, not only they make fun of some dramatic and polemic facts about Kanye’s personality and life. But also they make fun of modern hip hop as Bryan confuses some of Kanye’s lyrics with Drake’s.
Reality Tv.
At the end, the three lovers do what anyone with a bit of common sense would do. They end up asking for a prenup and walking off the altar leaving the sleazy girl alone.
