Watch Kanye West Rant About SNL, Being Human at Surprise NYC Show

May 16, 2013


Last night in New York City, Kanye West surprise headlined Adult Swim's Upfront event at Roseland Ballroom. From inside a glowing, transparent pyramid reminiscent of Daft Punk's beloved 2007 Alive Tour structure, he performed an hour-long set of new material, based freestyle-type rants and old favorites like "Jesus Walks" and "Cold." Preview new track "Awesome" and watch the monologue Ye did before playing "I Don't Like" below. He talked about being a "terrible terrible celebrity," why he won't do any goofy skits on this Saturday's SNL and asked, "At what point did I become unhuman that I have to turn myself back?" Read the whole speech transcribed over at Miss Info.
