Kanye West Freestyle, Circa 2002 (Video)

Just before Kanye West wrapped his October 2002 interview with DJ Whoo Kid, he dished out one more acapella for the camera! The song turned out to be his freestyle “My Girlfriend” over Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s “03 Bonnie and Clyde,” which Kanye produced for The Blueprint 2 album. Check out the final version from Kanye below, from his Freshman Adjustment Vol. 2 project!

Shouts to RadioPlanet on the rare footage. Be sure to head over there for the full interview that went down.

    ^^^^^^^
    that was an extremely ignorant comment

  16. jonniehayward.. did i offend you and the other lame hipster homos?

  17. what happen to this fat face niggah he left the face of the earth i aint see his big headed ass in a while.

  18. one of the goats ever to touch the game period yo

  19. hate it or love it, kanyes music has continually moved forward and progressed without sounding forced or trying to keep up with trends. i mean lets be honest drake is dope, but without 808s, so far gone would have never been what it is

  20. dopesir… you are lost… nice but not in my top 100

  21. and i agree with DopeSir, he might not be the best technical emcee but his style and personality changed the game

  22. @burd yo ass str8 stupid u need a box we all know the GOAT is Weezy F Baby nigga did it all he gained his fan base off a mixtape dog ill curve step u all if u disagree and tell meka and shake ill make dem SHAKE like game single

  23. @YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT….
    “ignorant” meaning idiotic and stupid for implying that because harharahar thinks Kanye West is the GOAT (his opinion) he must be wearing skinny jeans (not sweatpants, shorts, pajamas, quarterroys, etc.)…not only skinny jeans, but SKINNY JEANS that are cutting the circulation of blood in his body thus making him crazy…..and even DUMBER for obviously thinking I am a “lame hipster homo” because I stated that your previous comment was ignorant…which it was…..2 ignorant comments = a immature dumbass

  24. @PUNCHYOFACEIN

    lmao try again to get at me troll

  25. btw i wasnt offended, and Kanye’s not even in my top 10, I just felt like picking on the fact that you are an idiot, and your comment really made no sense at all..dont see how you can just assume that a Kanye stan is a “lame hipster homo”, i know rednecks that are Kanye fans

  26. you must be in your lame bugle boy skinny jeans… loser… there goes the 3rd and i will continue to make more toward those who are confused about their sexuality

  27. people can hate on Kanye but one can never deny talent. BTW when does 24 Karate School drop? I am trying to get that shit!

  28. lol JonnieHayward just ethered Rap Bandit (troll of the year candidate)

  29. @PUNCHYOFACEIN I have never seen a bigger YM groupie. lol. Almost choked when I read what you said on the MIllz post. If you think style jacking LIl wayne is the greatest rapper a alive you must be either just saying things like that to start shit or you just don’t listen to a wide variety of artists cuz you can’t be serious. Most overated rapper alive award goes to wayne every year.

  30. never ethered… i laugh at those who is following the worst trend ever… niggas was probably rocking pink when cam did it… losers

  31. YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT:
    you must be in your lame bugle boy skinny jeans… loser… there goes the 3rd and i will continue to make more toward those who are confused about their sexuality
    …………………………
    is that really all you could come up with?? go read a book

  32. read a book on how to clean a yeast infection after wearing too many skinny jeans

  33. “i laugh at those who is following the worst trend ever”….why are you laughing?? i still havent seen anybody in here admit to dressing like Kanye or wearing “skinny jeans that are cutting the circulation of blood in their body”…do you think before you type?

  34. ^word this dude has to possibly be the most unoriginal not funny troll ever, bring batt robbie maynard iii

  35. yeah i do… do you… lame hipster… i laugh at you… probably shave your legs too and pluck your eye brows… lame ass

  36. burd.. you are right jonniehayward is corny

  37. YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT:
    yeah i do… do you… lame hipster… i laugh at you… probably shave your legs too and pluck your eye brows… lame ass
    ……………….
    yup you got me figured out…@ burd nobody is trying to be funny,,,if u want me to i’ll try my hardest to please your sense of humor tho

  38. ^^ think he meant you but his post came late

  39. just like mine.lol

  40. tone… i am your god

  41. YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT has the brain of the size of a lima bean

  42. skinny jeans got to be the lamest trend… kanye stans are going to defend it as “it makes me an individual”… loser ass followers

  43. my comment was about you YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT

  44. @Tone i don’t listen to wide variety your right… becuz just like millz said all those lames you guys listen to are a bunch of EMO RAPPERS. crying about shit spend to much time complaining and not on they raps dog

  45. i shit out a burd

  46. ok im gettin out of this, got niggas posting as my name again

  47. @ RAP BANDIT

    Nah I’m good. Don’t think worshipping internet trolls is in my life plans but thanks for offering. If you solve the worlds problems maybe but that will never happen so I guess you will never be mine or anyones god. You could also try to be funny if you are going to troll because otherwise you just take up space and suck up the time from peoples lives that they spend reading your posts. I think you have wasted a good 2 minutes of mine.

  48. emo rappers lol… and they wear skinny jeans cause they want to feel feminine…

  49. whoever argues and refreshes comment pages are fags

  50. ^um thats not me but yea pretty much that and jonniehayward i was agreeing with u, this rap bandit character is a retard

  51. ill help you lame asses out… keep wearing skinny jeans… i’d feel bad for you guys bringing a life into this world…

  52. yea i kno im super late but @ Tone Ikasu got it right lol, only person im against is rap retard

  53. he is god telling you to stop being an emo lame ass…

  54. @ burd…my fault…@guest, i dont see how you can compare arguing and refreshing comment pages to homosexuality

  55. @PUNCHYOFACEIN you don’t know who I like so you really can’t say I listen to emo rappers. I like NWA which is the exact opposite of EMO rap but thats not all I listen to which is the key. I have a wide variety of music to listen to which is why I can say with confidence that everyone in YM are no where near the greatest. They just happen to have good business deals and the fact that there are a bunch of people like you who like there music. Overrated rappers in a overrated group.

  56. ill help you lame asses out… keep wearing skinny jeans… i’d feel bad for you guys bringing a life into this world…

    YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT——————-
    nobody cares about your feelings

  57. i get a kick out of bagging on lame emos… waste of space in population…

  58. JonnieHayward (when he was a Lupe stan) > Robbie Maynard The III >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rap Bandit

  59. i get a kick out of bagging on lame emos… waste of space in population…

    YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT
    ————–
    if thats what you get a kick out of then you sir must have a boring life

  60. hahaha a stan? hahaha… hip hop aint got room for dick riders… probably chase lil twist and lil chuckee for an autograph… lol

  61. I finally see now. He calls himself Rap bandit cause he stole the intelligence out of Hip Hop and left Ignorance so he could listen to Rap without getting a head ache. I understand Intellectual rappers make you confused so you lash out with rude ignorant comments. But I am here to say that its not going to change anyones mind about an artist so do us a favor and hop back on the next short bus back to to Ignorant land.

  62. i spend my life pretty good actually… i just take time out every now and then to shit on emo lame asses

  63. Amen to Tone Ikasu

  64. kanye aint that intellectual… my dude bamboo made a good point on the queen is dead song… look it up… its on this site

  65. i spend my life pretty good actually… i just take time out every now and then to shit on emo lame asses

    YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT
    ———
    wen u culd be doin somethin productive with ur life instead..

  66. http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2009/12/27/bambu-the-queen-is-dead/
    there goes some good shit you lame ass kanye fans should listen to

  67. Kanye aint the most intellectual person which is true but he do say some real shit from time to time. He aint the greatest rapper alive be he is a talented artist which is all I am saying. I agree he aint the GOAT but he still nice. Just cuz he dress prep though don’t take away from his lyrical content.

  68. i call myself rap bandit as an homage to a section in the source during the 90shttp://popculturewastelands.blogspot.com/2006/04/rap-bandit.html
    losers!!!

  69. ok tone… i will leave you alone… but for the other dick heads fuck em emo lame asses

  70. damn everybody in here making Rap Bandit look like a dumbass even JonnieHayward AND his stan

  71. never… did charlie brown ever fuck any of the bitches on peanuts… no… so that makes him a loser too

  72. Oh so you wanna be the next Rap Bandit by trying to make “Sarcastic/Assholish remars” on a Blogs since you can’t do it in magazines. So you are trying to be like someone else instead of yourself which makes you unoriganal. The fact that you pay homage by taking his name is nice but trying to do what he did makes you a lame. sorry I tell it like I see it. But you are on to something wit the Bambu track. At least you like 1 good artist.

  73. sorry Rap Bandit nobody takes you seriously kid and youre not funny at all, just give up

  74. haha. Finally something funny. No offense to charlie Brown but Rap bandit got a chuckle from me wit what he said. Wish all his comments were like that.

  75. I wouldnt admit that he made me chuckle if I were you Tone Ikasu, it might get him aroused

  76. Yeah you prolly right. Ima calm down wit makin his head swell. I don’t agree wit a lot of his comments but he gets a tiny bit of respect from me since he like Bambu.

  77. Kanye….Top #5

    On some real shit….

    Kanye been fuckin shit up from the get go…..

  78. charlie brown was the first emo cartoon character…. i bet the dirty kid got more ass than him in life

  79. btw… unlike you… men dont arouse me

  80. YO BIZNITCH! YO MOMMA BEEN CALLIN ME ALL DAY, TELL HER TO STUFF A CUCUMBER IN IT! I’M TRYNA GET DIS PAPER YO! FUCK OuTTA HERE BITCH! STUPID AZZ, PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN RETARDEDNESSS! RAWR! MOTHA F#@SHUTCHOMOUTH!

  81. top 5 my ass

  82. to tone… i pay homage to the rap bandit cause his comments were funny… if charlie brown were to make a movie as an adult it would be called “desperate and suicidal charlie brown”

  83. OH no the other rap bandit is back. One is enough. two is too many.

  84. i got a couple of stans actually

  85. Yeah and I said I respect that you pay homage to dude but just don’t try to act like him. It doesn’t work as well for you. I don’t think you have the same knack for comedy he had. Nothing personal to you but not everyone can do comedy.

  86. ——- Attack of the Trolls —-

  87. —- > Attack of the Bored Trolls — >

  88. tone… i am actually not trying to get at you but i will…

  89. Obviously the —-> attack of the trolls —> and —> attack of the bored trolls —> was the same person posting as different names

  90. part of that “freestyle” was a verse he has on a Mashonda (sp?) song

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kOttx_ikqI

    Kanye, I think, is grossly underrated as a MC

  91. its me vs ricky martin and menudo

  92. YOU IDOLIZE REAL RAP BANDIT…so what exactly dont u hate on?

  93. I mean do what you want I can’t stop you. I can only give you my opinion on what you do. Wether you take it serious or not is not really my problem. You can say anything but I am not gonna be offended because at the end of the day I don’t know you and anything you say don’t effect me personally. I am really just killing time since this late at night there aint much to do.

  94. bitches…

  95. ye’s nxt album is gonna be legendary.
    i can feel it.
    lil wayne allready let me down, hope kanye doesnt dissapoint haha

  96. Hayward is flamethrowin cats lol, shit is hilarious[imo].

    But I think that ‘Ye is in at least top 20 all-time consideration, seeing as how he damn-near singlehandedly changed the game with the style, evolving production[ppl were using samples and strings, but not on his level], and his subject matter.

    Just my opinion.

  97. hayward is a mad gay protestor… and lame skinny jean fuck boys are going to co-sign his lameness

  98. yeezy bit dr. dre xxplosive drums for jay-z “this can’t be life”… you lames praise the wrong gays… i mean guys

  99. yeezy bit dr. dre xxplosive drums for jay-z “this can’t be life”… you lames praise the wrong gays… i mean guys

    ============================================

    wow you found wikipedia mook! good job

  100. U Mad???[lol]

  101. sand in vagina… should be dick in mouth

  102. I’m no hipster but why act so senseless, i know having a keyboard and a way to make untraceable comments must feel empowering. maybe feel like an alternate world where you can actually be “cool”. But that’s a status un-attainable by ignorant pathetic people such as the ones that attempt to make themselves known. Stemming from a past lacking in acknowledgement or attention.Oh and congrats to Kanye he came a long way, and he’s one of my inspirations.

  112. really, its ridiculous that under every post that there are people posting comments that are pure ignorance, really do yall not have anything better to do that write stupid comments. we all know u dont even believe 90% of the thing that you say so why say them??

  113. Kanye is a top 5 producer, but as an emcee… he is maybe just maybe top 100. No hate, just my opinion.

  119. i never called myself ricky martin… you can’t read “me vs. ricky martin and menudo”? illiterate shit… lex diamonds… raekwon doesn’t like male groupies you shit…

  120. wow the old ye was a beast. he still is. its crazy how much hese kinda changed. evolved? maby..but hes definetly changed? damn one of the GOATS. really.
