Yeezus H. West! Back before Ye went beast mode in the game, he was doing conference gigs just like a lot of cats… only they did not likely have John Legend on the keys. Ha!

The beat is waaaay different, less-evolved than what you’d recognize as “Gold Digger” but listen to the lyrics and there is no doubt. Watch some throwback Kanye goodness.

Social media has been abuzz about Chris Rock’s recent statements in a promo interview for his new film ‘Top 5’ when he made statements about Kanye West’s now classic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ album. Chris Rock says stated that he believes that Kanye’s ‘MBDTF’ album could probably be the best album over Michael Jackson’s iconic Thriller’ album & the best album overall in the last 25 years. I don’t know if I can say the impact was greater than Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ album, but Kanye West is this hip hop generation’s equivalent to Michael Jackson in so many ways. The difference is that Kanye West does indeed make popular records that also make you think. I know Kanye West is the most popular hip hop artist in the world today, but I’ll also add that he’s also one of the most important artists in the last 10 years or more.

Kanye West – Live At The Wireless Festival 2014 (Video)

Turns out they did celebrate on the 4th of July in the UK this year… likely due to Kanye West being over there to rock at Finsbury Park, London. Some older and current jawns brought to the mass of worshippers gathered to watch Yeezus deliver his litany of hits at this year’s Wireless Festival. Nowadays, with all the mobile and camera tech folks bring, isn’t every festival ‘wireless’ (just saying)?

Bigger question: What was going on with the girl in the red dress near the beginning (above)? Did she pass out or something? Incredible show, and that was just the beginning. More crowd’s eye view footage after the jump.
