Nicki Minaj, Teyana Taylor, Rick Ross,

 Swizz Beatz & More Perform With Kanye West @  Bowery

 

Last night, up and coming singer Teyana Taylor and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver joined Kanye West on stage for a unique rendition of “Dark Fantasy” during the opening number of Kanye’s intimate show at the Bowery. The 550 person venue was filled to capacity with the likes of industry movers and shakers such as Diddy, Spike Lee, Quest Love, Selita Ebanks, Lyor Cohen and more.

A Kanye show isn’t quite complete without a few guest appearances, and there was plenty throughout the night. Teyana Taylor filled in for Rihanna on “All of The lights”, followed by Nicki Minaj who joined Kanye on stage for “Monster”. Swizz Beatz, Pusha T, and Cy Hi Da Prynce appeared for Kanye’s performance of “So Appalled” and Rick Ross (BAWSE!) made a surprise cameo for “Devil In A Red Dress”. John Legend was also on hand for “Blame Game”

As the show came to an end, Kanye West went into a ten minute speech addressing Taylor Swift (and how she never came to his defense), George Bush, his album sales and more.

To do an album after the year I had ….after all the “Your career is over..die n*gga, die!…You’ll never make music again!” and then come back and do 100,000 the first day digitally alone….to be safe and do 600,000 in the first week. I don’t talk about the numbers but what that number says is that people want me to keep making music…and for me not to give up. No radio singles, no #1 record, no top 10 record!

“….I can’t be your role model, i can’t be your anti-christ. I don’t know what the f*ck illuminati is. I like clothes and I still like girls, I dont give a f*ck what you think and on that note. I love ya’ll.”

Kanye West 10 Minute Speech

“When you do things that happen like last year it’s disrespectful to everyone that’s creative. It’s a smack in the face to everyone who tries to do something real. If I wasn’t drunk, I would’ve been on stage longer!”

“..look at what the media did. Look at how they exploited (George Bush). They said that he said it was his lowest moment and America we took that as a fact. When you look at that interview, he said it was one of his lowest moments…. and he said it about 10 different things but because of the popularity of me, they exploited that…to make you watch the interview

…..and make you feel that he was stupider than ever to think that a rapper comment could be his lowest moment. That’s not what he f**king said! He said it’s one of his lowest moments…. it shows you the way they try to villainize….”

“The weakest people point the fingers. The projections….the sh*t that people write on blogs is a projection of what they feel or what their scared about in themselves. And they want to project through the people who are on TV and now we are mere surfaces of the energy that they are projecting on us. Everybody needs a villain, don’t we? We need to blame someone at all times. ”
