Kanye has made it pretty clear to this point that he doesn’t take any half measures. If he goes, he goes all out. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that his SXSW performance wouldn’t be a low key affair.
The G.O.O.D. Music boss brought out Jay-Z, Mos Def, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, John Legend, Big Sean, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Mr. Hudson, Teyana Taylor, CyHi Da Prynce and Fonzworth Bentley.
We’ve got some footage below via a handful of fans who posted the footage on YouTube. But those looking for quality video, worry not. The full show will be aired by VEVO on Good Friday (April 22).
“Lost In The World”
“Power”
“Gorgeous” f. Kid Cudi
Seeing Jay-Z live was the amazing concert,
It be cool to see him & kayne on tour.
ive seen jay live , ive seen kanye twice, and ive seen drake,. Jay by far has the most unreal profesional show,. the clarity is ridiculous, kanye is pretty nasty too,. Drkae needs alotta work, that explosion shit he does too is kinda gay… but i like drake , his album was not meant for live performance
haven’t seen Kanye live yet, seen a couple documentaries tho, he seems passionate performing his music…like he should be…
and yea Jay-Z is easily the best live show i’ve ever seen, especially for a big stadium show (usually shows like that feel very impersonal, and the artists tend to slack)…i was impressed, Jay’s stage presence was serious, unlike a lot of cats he wasn’t overshadowed by light effects or pyrotechnics, he managed to be the star of the show over all those big set pieces and effects they had going, not easy to do…
second best was seeing Ghostface @ a small, grimy-ass club…not the greatest sound but i was like 15 ft from ghostface and he fucking KILLED IT…
I have to disagrre with you on Ghostface Killah. I love all of Wu, seen them all together and seen them all solo numerous times. Everyone blows up the spot on solo tip except for GFK. He has his henchmen rappin the lyrics while he jumps in and out on verses. He’s done it everytime I seen him….I had to vow not to go to any of his sollo shows anymore and I haven’t….
