Kanye West premiered a new song last night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York - while inside a giant pyramid. Listen below.
One of the songs he performed was thought to be the same one which Hudson Mohawk premiered during a recent DJ set in Europe, while another one appeared to be a freestyle rap dedicated to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
As well as the songs, it just wouldn't be a Kanye West performance without one of his now infamous rants - with this one addressing his upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live with Vampire Weekend.
According to Consequence of Sound, Kanye said, "One thing about me. I’m the worst kinda, worst kinda, worst kinda celebrity... because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real s**t. and that’s it. That’s motherf**king it. That’s motherf**king it.
"So I don’t want nobody trying to run up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and s**t to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions, throwing me off of my focus and s**t. Harassing you all motherf**king day. I ain’t no motherf**king celebrity..."
Watch Kanye's performance of the song below:
After a short pause, he continued, "[I had a friend ask me, 'Are you gonna go on] SNL and you’re going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and s**t and like humanize yourself?’ I ain’t here to apologize to no motherf**kers man. It ain’t about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe I was demonized. Or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that kind of situation.
"I ain’t no motherf**king celebrity. I ain’t running for office. I ain’t kissing nobody’s motherf**king babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and s**t. I’m trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be. I don’t want nobody to ask NOTHING ELSE OF ME. Don’t ask nothing else of me.
"Motherf**kers chasing you down ’bout to make you crash and s**t. And all they want is one n***a to laugh and shit. Hell nah I ain’t doing no motherf**king SNL skits, this my goddamn life. This ain’t no motherf**king joke. That’s it. Stop that s**t right there."
