Kanye West’s SNL Return

[vodpod id=Video.4578247&w=425&h=350&fv=]

Lorne Michaels shouldn’t have all that power. Well he did and it was out with the SNL shot and in with a new verse as Kanye performed “Power” for his SNL return. Afterwards, he brought out Pusha T for “Runaway”.

UPDATE: Rockabye Review transcribed second verse after the jump.

The brown hero, live from Ground Zero
Machine gun flow, made her get a Ross Perot
And this is disestablishmentarianism
With my night goggles on, got military vision
And it’s still a very Christian way to think about livin’
When you prayin’ for freedom ’cause your mind been in prison
‘Cause they tryin’ to control every single big decision
You ain’t effin’ the system, then why the eff is you livin’?
Look, dawg, you can cop whatever suits you on
Three-piece, cuff links and the accoutrements
They been feedin’ us ish without the nutrients
So I’m back with another hit to let the truth be known
And your boy still fresh with the Gucci on
Them Italians sure know how to make what the moodies want
And they really can’t take what Doobie on
But I be on the same thing ’til you prove me wrong

    The problem with your comment is, nobody else would do something like that, besides Kanye. That’s what makes him so G.O.O.D.

  17. GetMoney says:

    @So Icy Boi! Soulja Boy will be copying that shit in about 3 yrs. (if he’s still around).Kanye is always onto the next shit.Co-Sign @ummm btw.

  44. Eyerone says:

    2 things; im disappointed cuz he changed the 2nd verse.

    im also disappointed that he damn near fucked up pusha t’s verse on runaway. i dont know wtf kanye doin but he was way off on the mpc tonite. props to pusha for not fumbling or slipping on his words as kanye coulda ruined the whole verse for dude…

  45. Black McJagger says:

    Kanye is def one of the best performers we have today especially Hip Hop wise

  46. Madrid-Spain says:

    kanye= “good producer but wack rapper “

  47. Truth says:

    Loved it. But ima Kanye fan so. Power was just ok. But Runaway was great. Wish he had a bigger space to move like the VMA’S

  48. E says:

    kanye= “wack producer but good rapper “

  49. Fluff Daddy says:

    He said “And I’m still fresh with the Gucci on/ Man, them Italians sure know how to make what the Mulis want”

  51. Jambi says:

    Wow.

    “One of the most creative artist ever”

    One of the most out of the ass observations ever.

  52. Jambi says:

    also:

    Should’ve stayed behind the boards, just like Diddy.

  53. bry says:

    its “moolies” the n word in italian. not moodies.

  54. Dirty G says:

    Hey @Mr Rager. Did you get to keep your Ticket Cause i wanted to keep Mine. Also you didnt get any pictures did you, cause i was looking for some. 1st time at SNL i came from dc and got into nyc at 6am waited in line like 1 hour and was the last guy in the door. Kanye was awesome but that damn auto tune needs to stop. Good to see Pusha T getting some shine. Gonna laminate my wristband.

  55. isaac says:

    LOL stealing eminem’s ideas and using antidisestablishmentarianism in a rap, WHAT A FUCKING TOOL. you’re grasping kanye, you’re grasping.

  56. Briana says:

    This guys is amazing!

  57. Raymond Bann says:

    That was one of the best sets on SNL ever. I think it’ll be tagged a classic. Only Kanye could turn a promo TV gig into a piece of art. Even if you weren’t feeling it, you gotta at least respect that he’ll try something different.

  58. Weezy84383 says:

    LOL he slipped during Power

  59. […] It’s a day late, but we’ll give dude a pass, seeing as he was a little busy making his third appearance on Saturday Night Live. This one sounds far from finished, and Cudi’s verse is awfully disappointing considering his […]

  60. mr. rager says:

    no not my ticket but my wrist band i kept. Yea i got pics after though cause they made us turn off the phones. Got pics with Ryan Leslie, Andy Samberg, Kenan, and other cast members. No kanye though he never came out where everyone else did. Kenan was the only dude with a limo and groupies though LOL. Packed like 6 girls in his car

  61. Errol says:

    @soicyboi you must have missed the glow in the dark tour.

  62. No Days Off says:

    is Hov mad that its all red everything now and not all black?

  63. djnerdnyc says:

    Yeezy is a genuis but he’s no arabmusik on the mp3, he needs to stop with this off tempo live samples, he completely through off the timing for pusha’s verse, open up ya ears folks.

  64. yepANDnope says:

    @isaac,

    Not trying to be a jerk, but everything you said in that sentence is wrong.

    1. antidisestablishmentarianism isnt even CLOSE to being a word. I’m pretty sure you meant to express the idea of being “against the establishment” for which the word is simply “disestablishment.” When you add “anti” to it, it becomes a double negative which actually means the opposite of what you were trying to say so what you ACTUALLY ended up saying is “Eminem is FOR the establishment.” lol.

    2. You implied that the idea of using rap music to express “disestablishment” ideals originated when Eminem? lol?? You DO realize that this has pretty much been embodied by every rapper since the beginning of rap right? lol. One could almost go as far as to say that this idea IS rap?

  65. yepANDnope says:

    Sorry @isaac,

    im kinda sleepy. “Anti establishment” is probably what you meant specifically. So i guess (no pun intended) you can just take out the “dis?” lol.

  66. LITERATE LISTENER says:

    There are 3 mistakes in that transcription:

    1. “Look, dawg, you can cop whatever suits you on”

    CORRECTION: you can cop whatever suits you WANT

    2. “Them Italians sure know how to make what the moodies want”

    CORRECTION: them italians sure know how to make what the MOOLIES want

    3. “And they really can’t take what Doobie on”

    CORRECTION: And they really can’t take what DUDE BE ON

    pretty obvious, guys.

  67. LITERATE LISTENER says:

    and FYI

    ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM is famously the longest word in the english language

    Its a frequent Fun Fact and thus not too impressive that either rapper used it.

    Eminem didnt invent it and neither did Kanye.

    Unless rappers are now cornering the market on who uses a WORD first?
