I missed the show because I totally forgot and watched HBO’s The House of Saddam Pt 1 and 2 on DVR instead. Fascinating and disgusting.
But luckily, someone else uploaded Kanye’s performance and of course Eskay had it up with a quickness….now did Kanye appear in any skits as well? I’d love to see him make light of himself with some help from Andy Samberg sometime….
more after the jump….

nah, no skits. to tell you the truth, it was kinda fucking awkward at the end of the show when they’re all standing around.
everyone was saying bye to amy cause it was her last show and kanye was standing there smiling like guys i’m the star here and i…. jizz in my pants

I would have been disappointed by Kanye had I heard his vocal in a high school talent show! This guy is one talentless, egomaniacal punkass. Insipid lyrics, tone-deaf singing, meterless rapping! What is the big fuss about this self-legend???

Man performing a song while singing when your not a singer when using auto tunes doesn’t sound to good.
Great back drops though.

I saw the Kanye performance on SNL and all I have to say is it was “BORING.” Kanye is a great talent but to me it looks like he’s heading towards a Lauren Hill meltdown. He’s very close to being irrelevant. He’s need to stop swagger jacking too. Andre 3000 already did an album dedicated to Love and give Taz Arnold from SARA his look back.

“what an self-absorbed talented social misfit”
Info, you hit the nail on the head with that one. Except, I would add insecure self-absorbed talented social misfit who is beyond desperate for attention.
You want to root for Kanye because he is so talented and he works so hard, but he makes it hard to like him. That SNL performance was hard to watch.

On a scale of 1-10 the album is a fuckin 20! But so far his live performances have all sucked ass. At the end of the day, stage props are meaningless if vocally you can’t deliver. On the upside he has alot of room for improvement. It’s weird because melody wise this is the best album I’ve ever heard… MELODY WISE, but he can’t follow his own shit yet.
A real singer should cover this whole album just for fun to give us a taste of how much a masterpiece 808’s could’ve really been had someone with natural vocal range sang it.
sidenote: House of Saddam is so fuckin good. Shit is like the Middle Eastern version of The Sopranos.

Aiight ima be real here since nobody else wants to say it.
I bought the LP because i like Kanye’s music but i like too support…uhh “Hip Hop” as a whole so i prety much buy everybody’s sh*t..
But as far as this performance…
All i can say is….What. Tha’. F*ck!
Sorry dude but that was pure disrespect too my ears and eyeballs!
Kanye west wearing teen age girls jeans…and singing is insane!
I have seen him perform live with the Auto Tune inserted into his mic and that is the ONLY time a live performance should be excepted! And that goes for T-pain too!
You guys are NOT SINGERS!
have any of you ever heard Ron Browz perform live? Him,Kanye,T-pain AWFULL LIVE without the Auto Tune!
Sorry but that SNL performance was bad….just plain bad.

KANYE IS SHOWING YOU HE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS TO DO. HE’S GOT CRAZY TALENT…IF YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THE MUSIC THAT HE PRODUCES FOR ARTISTS OR EVEN NOTICED HOW MANY HITS HE HAS MADE FOR PEOPLE. HE IS A GENIUS.
