kanye killed it!!! these other rappers need to take notes on how to give a performance. he wasn't up there rappin over the track or nothing, like most lames do who can't really rap. plus he's man enough to go up there and show some emotion and sentiment through his music...rap needs more dudes reppin like this in order to get that acceptance so many are crying out for

Alot of people, especially girls dont even listen to lyrics but jsut the melody they bring. Kanye exposed the lyrics by forcing them to listen, and he chose a chose that he wanted to be heard. Now those that didnt listen to the lyrics know what theyre missin out on..

.... good performance.. he dindt kill it with the bass, he kept the song pure

and the DJ's were sick

Kanye is one of the few rappers who take hip hop to a different level and doesnt always have to rap about the same thing.. and is it me but I think kanye is the only other rapper who can sing a chorus his voice is pretty good and actually sounds like a singer unlike ja and 50 lol

respect to kanye, he's not that kind 'hood/ghete/gangsta' rapper he's just differtent. he wrote a nice song for his mom, but I think all rappers would do if their mom's die.

and kanye also have funny glasses (LOL!)

dawg he wrote this song on late registration way before his mom died. get ur facts straight before u rash on someone showing real passion for someone they really loved.

stronger performance was fun and hey mama was really just a work of art, it sounded piff and his emotion makes the song just that much better.

Ok I love Kanye dude like one of my favorite MCs but I dont like this song. I really dont like his album it was hot at first then fell off. It just doesnt hit home like the first one. The first one was more from the heart and his beats had soul leaking from them. I guess he changed since then. Crazy he says this the blackest album he ever made. Graduation blackest album you ever made that funny. Just had to get that off my chest but regardless of that dude still like one of my favorite rappers. Dude cares about his music not alot of people do and that why he goes to the top of the list with MC. Keep doing your thing Kanye we lovee you homie.

Kanye put it down. He's a great performer. But the greatest hip-hop stage performer has to be DMX. He brings the house down no matter where he is. I remeber him coming to the FU Center (now Wachovia Center) back in like 99' and he completely tore the house down. He put his heart into every song he performed.

I think one of the greatest stories about Kanye is that he told his moms when he wrote 'Dear Mama' years b4 he became famous that he's gonna perform that for her on Oprah and he actually accomplished that.

Kanye always comes wit some fresh material dat people want to hear. u never expect wat he's goin to do nextwhether it's throwin a tantrum or boastin about his sucess. Kanye is one of da realest dudes in da game. Did u c how he said and i quote" I know it would be in goosd taste not to play dat music while i'm tallkin" when he was receivin his award and he was about to give a shoutout to his mom and they played da music dat is supposed to kick u out the stage when u talkin 2 much.

you gotta give it up to Kanye for having the balls to be himself and for the creativity he brings to the game...'stronger' is just an ok song, and that preformance was too techno and glow-in-the-dark for me, but you gotta give it to him for the creativity he brings to the game...'hey mama' was a nice tribute to his late mother RIP donda west...Kanye is a real artist..props on taking home the grammy for 'southside' with common, that jam is right on point...this motherfucker dresses wild tho haha and he got 'MAMA' shaved in the back of his head, he been had done gone crazy
