Kanye West ft Syleena Johnson & Miri Ben Ari - All Falls Down [LIVE] @ Letterman

[@AdamAuxier64]

I met Kanye after the show, by accident. My friend John and I attended the Letterman taping where he performed. We had never heard of him before. Afterward went down the street to the Virgin Megastore. Kanye was hanging out in the electronic section, he asked me if I had his album (i didnt), so I bought it and he signed it. Nice guy.

So are we gonna pretend like Sylenna didn't kill it? Sylenna was KILLIN the vocals, & Miri Ben Ari & John Legend was killin the live instrumental! Of course Kanye was killin the lyricism. An amazing collective effort.

The whole thing was incredible. Her singing while he's rapping was so dope.

[@160calories]

i remember being 10 when this kanye released this record. unless you grew up listening to 90s hip hop, you wouldn't understand how crazy it was that kanye blew up rapping about being self conscious and spending money bc of insecurity and not talking about killing people and having guns. it still sounds incredible but it's hard for some to remember how new and different this style was. thank you kanye, very cool
