True Life: I Was An Extra In YEEZY SEASON 3

*Disclaimer: I obviously didn't take these pictures so thank you to ELLE, People, and whoever go that close-up of me*

Now that I've had some time to calm down and soak in the fact that I was part of a Ye production, here's my 2 cents about being an extra.

I'm not the modeling type, there's no email address in my social media bios or anything of that nature so this gig was just that... a gig. I signed up through On Set Productions to be part of the show and they picked me AND paid me! I have to say that because there are hella volunteers mad about the fact that they didn't get paid and you should have known that based on your temporary position.

Here's my Top 5 observations:

1. ALMOST EVERYONE THERE WAS A STAN

I'm talking about straight up; talking in tongues, if Kanye commanded me to I would do it without my mother's consent stan. Nothing wrong with being a stan either, I'm a stan but I've controlled it over the years. Everyone there also looked drunk off of xans and low-budget Ian Connors.. Nuts.

2. There was a list of rules that basically stated, "Whatever cool shit you came to promote, dead that noise. You're here to look impoverished and stressed. Think Rwandan refugee."

All the extras were dressed in potato sacks and adidas sneakers to fit with this scene of looking busted while beneath models in YS3 gear. Ye's God complex really shined through in that moment.

3. I almost cried during the unveiling.

I don't know if it was Ultralight Beam's bass or what but I felt so proud to be there and support my favorite artist do something that's never been done before.

4. The whole black power movement that happened wasn't planned for at all.

No one was supposed to move besides Ye and somehow people ended up on stage, dabbin' front of cameras, fists in air, and so on and so forth. Shit, I was scared to put my fist up because I didn't want to be a part of the group who messed up Ye's vision but then I dug deep into 2012 and YOLO'd like shit.

5. PROOF THAT I WAS THERE AND I'M ONLY GOING UP FROM HERE HAHAHA
