OlderKanye West's SNL Performances -- Watch Now!
In all 35 years Saturday Night Live has been on the air, have you ever seen the stage like that before? Amazing!!!
Talk about bring SNL to another level — Kanye is a true artist!
In between sketches by the host, Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston, Kanye performed “Power” and “Runaway” with Pusha T. Check out the videos below!!!
FYI: Kanye showed up to the SNL after-party at DGBG & Kitchen Bar with his 20+ back-up dancers. They were turned away because that’s too big of an entourage! Instead, Kanye and his dancers recreated his SNL routine for a small group of friends in the lobby of the Mercer Hotel.

I am sorry…but this is mad satanic. The whole performance is like they are paying homage to Kanye and he looks like Satan reincarnate in red. Please homie…drop the crap and start making tracks that were in the vein of College Dropout.
WOW COOL! He’s one of the best artistss ever. No doubt about it.
Really? Artist? Musician? I don’t think he’s either. ‘Performance’ was ridiculous and obviously lip synch’d. Runaway.. him touching that stupid device making it look like he’s actually doing something was totally laughable. I think I laughed harder during his performances than the rest of SNL.
New level? Ya, lowest level yet.
@kanyeisnotdaman:
@tmf: This the problem: He is not the same person he was when he made Drop Out. Great artists do not remake old stuff. They move on. You are just a lazy music consumer and need to think about your comments. While MTV may hate him, he is talented and artistic credibility. Good job. SNL just got an upgrade. Set and performance was better this time around.
from 245 to before pusha starts, the sounds are perfectly synchronized to the keys he presses, so if he really wasn’t doing those then he must have tried crazy hard to memorize the order of noises.. doubtful
Thought it was great!
Then again I was not surprised, this is Kanye we’re talking about.
Always changing it up, you gotta switch it up to stay fresh!
Great songs.

amazing job kanye, haters are going to hate, let your music speak for you, much respect, love everything about you. even your boldness to call and spade a spade, just try to be more tactful next time. most people feel the same, move on people. go kanye!
At first I thought it was a SNL skit mocking how talentless he is but then I realized it was really him! I can’t believe how bad his performances were. I especially liked when he was pretending to play the keyboard (is that called “keyboard syncing”?) and his 80′s Zapp and Roger mic technique to cover for the fact that he can’t rap nor sing. Oh yeah, he can’t write a song either.
Hang it up “Red”. Lol!
Runaway was soooooo bad I had to turn the sound off. I can not imagine how horrible it sounded to the studio audience His music goes nowhere. Just tired rapping over even worse electronic sounds. Juvenile at best.
He’s a genius. Those who don’t see it, don’t get it – they don’t recognize greatness because they’re not enlightened enough to understand it. He has something to say and always tells it like it is. If you’re happy with a mindless listening experience and something you can dance to, you should roll past Kanye. If you believe hip hop is a lifestyle, a movement, a mentality – you know KW is on top of his game!
KANYE’s music is so much better than that homophobe & woman-hater Eminem’s. I’m surprised everyone jumped on 50 Cent’s **** about his homophobia but continue to suck Eminem’s d*** when he’s just as bad.
This is why I love Snoop & Kanye, they’re not mental and insecure in their own skins, they accept EVERYONE.
The guy is freakin’ brilliant. Period.
Love his music.
Yes Kanye Yes! You can be as much of a tool as you want. As long as you keep bringing it like this!!!
I would strongly recommend heading to http://kanyewest.com/GOODFridays for free download of new Kanye songs. Well worth it.
Kanye is OK live but his genius shines in the studio and in his videos imho.
So what’s the message we’re supposed to derive from this performance? The ballerinas are the metaphorical turmoil he feels in his life? At the end of the day he’s still King?

This wasn’t a Kan-yea this was a Kan-nay.

That was awesome! Kanye is a genius. Of course the bitter Bush people will never go away.
Obviously the events from last years VMA’s gas def hurt his rep, everyone seems to be hating on him. The truth us, he has talent, he is always changing it up, and while these two performances were not amazing, i am excited to see the new stuff he puts out on his new album.
Loved it. Great art work + great music.
I strongly recommend ______ Black white flirts* c0m ______ to you where I just found my interracial boyfriend! You know it is a great place to meet black men and beautiful women. What’s kind of relationship do you want?
@rukidding:
i just realized the the caliber of people who are commenting about Kanye’s performance when people did’t recognize what he was playing on stage….nor did they recognize what auto tune is….
a key board? a stupid machine? Do you know anything about hip hop? At least pretend to know what an 808 is. puh-leeese. amateurs.
Really MTV performance again..?
