Ahhhh! I thought VH1 Storytellers was reserved for people like Neil Diamond, Hall N Oats and Smashing Pumpkins, but no! Don't forget Kanye West too! Yup, the latest king of hip-pop (as I'm coining it) took over Storytellers with probably their most expensive set ever. The whole show is deff worth a gander with West rambling about nonsensical things and talk-singing his way through some of his favorite hits. Sweet high-deff, robot-rainbow visuals fluctuate in and out on the semi-circle of TVs that surround West. There's also a whole bunch of musicians wearing riot cop masks, playing electro-violins, taiko drums, synths etc. Yup, Kan sure pulls out the big guns here and even explains some of his favorite sections of different songs (like how Tenacious D inspired some of his lyrics). So check these clips out. I posted my favorite 3 here, but there are a couple more floating round the net.
"Stronger" (pretty great opener)
"Robocop" (best song on 808s & Heartbreak? maybe):
"Flashing Lights" (Hint at least wait until he gets onto a weird rant around 4:50):
