Last night Yeezy held a last-minute concert at the Bowery in NYC and of course he pulled out all the stops. He brought out all the homies…Nicki Minaj, Teyana Taylor, Rick Ross, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz, John Legend, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and CyHi da Prynce, amongst them. More info and footage after the jump.
Rap-Up was in the crowd and provided this detailed account:
Teyana provided backing vocals on “Dark Fantasy†and “All of the Lights,†while Nicki spit her show-stopping verse on “Monster.†Rick Ross was appropriately dressed in red for “Devil in a New Dress†and John Legend played the “Blame Game.â€
And what would a Kanye show be without a rant? The outspoken rapper took a moment to deliver another passionate speech about Taylor Swift, George W. Bush, and the media.
“Everybody needs a villain, don’t we? We need to blame someone at all times,†said ‘Ye in reference to his remarks about Bush after Hurricane Katrina. “I was emotional. That was not exactly the way I wanted to word it. But I rode it, I rode it. Just as Taylor [Swift] never came to my defense in any interview and rode the wave and rode it and rode it. That’s the way I rode the wave of the Bush comment. It’s not about popular opinion, it’s about when you look in your heart and know what’s right from what’s wrong.â€
Sounds like a crazy show!
