Kanye West: New Verse Live at Kid Cudi Concert 12-22-09 (Video)

Kanye West rapped a new verse live at the Kid Cudi Concert in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre on Dec. 22, 2009. The full video and lyrics are below.

The multi-Grammy Award winning rapper ended his hiatus from the music scene making his first stage appearance since the infamous incident with Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs in Sept. and subsequent apology on The Jay Leno Show. His new verse addressed the state of the music industry.

“I had to get up out this motherf*cker for a second,” Ye told the crowd. “I love the game so much and I’m so passionate about it that I just can’t take this sh*t sometimes. And if they take everything away from me it wouldn’t f*cking matter. Artist are to concerned about their well-being sometimes, Artist be too scared to stand-up for something, they scared to loose their house, they scared to loose they record deal.” He then went on to say, “I sold my soul to the devil, I know its a crappy deal, it came with a few toys like a happy meal. I’m spaced out god, I be on that moon talk, I wonder if God ask Mike how to moon walk…”
