**Update: Nigel D/RealTalkNY with the HQ footage for the win
North says: Fresh off of debuting a new track on Wednesday and announcing another track debuting later on today, you’d think Thursday was probably a lowkey rest day for Mr. West. But word started getting around on Twitter yesterday afternoon and throughout the early evening about a private secret concert or listening party of some sorts.
Seems as though it was both as Kanye along with the help of John Legend, Estelle, Mr. Hudson, Consequence, Pusha T of The Clipse (who ‘Ye announced last night IS a part of G.O.O.D. Music) and others treated a select crowd to a memorable show. With a strict dress code at New York’s The Box, Kanye went through a list of classics including “Good Life”, “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”, and “Selfish”, along with more recent songs like “Welcome To Heartbreak”, “Run This Town”, his current single “Power” his Rick Ross featured “Life Fast, Die Young” and a new track off his yet Untitled November LP called “Mama’s Boyfriend”. (Props to Mr.Morgan & thelifefiles for the footage.)

That “Mama’s Boyfriends” song has the potential to be just as big as “Gold Digger” for him….and was he rapping that shit over the song “Movin Out” by Billy Joel?…is that gonna be the sample on the actual song? I need details.

@pmac:
They were playing instruments and playing old hits. Did you not like his old hits either? You’re not going to get boom-bap if there are no drums on stage. Idiot.
BTW: Devo is pretty awesome. Sorry if your musical tastes are narrow.

What do you mean you try, its easy just don’t say it. Everyone has total control over the words that they say. It’s not a bodily function. You don’t have to say it to survive. It doesnt make life any harder or easier. I don’t say the word at all and its not a struggle for me. I am a huge Kanye West fan and when I’m singing along I either don’t say anything or I replace it with another word… its that’s simple.
