Kanye West at SXSW 2009

Here are some pics I took at Kanye's performance at The Levi's Fader Fort. Kanye showcased many of the artist on his GOOD Music lineup. Mr. West was in good spirits as he gave the packed crowd a perfect ending to a already awesome South By Southwest Music Festival. The suprise of the night was when Kanye was joined by none other than Common to join him on "Touch The Sky". Common then had the spotlight to himself as he performed his last single "Universal Mind Control". The night was not done with surprises as Common went on to his love hip hop anthem "The Light", he was accompanied by none other by Erykah Badu. The trio of Common, Kanye, and Badu took their turns at dropping some impromptu freestyle sessions, which had the crowd going crazy. The night though belonged to Kanye's protege´Kid Cudi who played his hit "Day n' Nite". The two hour set left the crowd sweaty and tired, a perfect ending to to the once again impressive Fader Fort compound. For more pictures click here. Here is a video of Kid Cudi and Kanye performing "Welcome To Heartbreak".
