[Video] Kanye West: "Bound 2" on Jimmy Fallon
Right on the heels of his announcement of a Yeezus tour, Ye' unexpectedly stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform "Bound 2" live for the first time. In his now-signature kilt over leather pants, Kanye, as usual went big with Charlie Wilson singing the hook live and backing from a children's choir, and The Roots. Of course, where there's Kanye, there's usually controversy and the Fallon set was no exception as West changed the opening lines of the song to apparently poke fun at beau Kim Kardashian's ex, Ray-J, rhyming: "Brandy's little sister lame, man, he know it now/When a real brother hold you down you supposed to drown." Interesting. For his part, Fallon has made himself a pop-culture icon from his late night desk by connecting with viewers through music, without The Roots as his house band it's not totally certain he would have made it out of his first season, and this Kanye performance adds to the growing list of great acts to grace the late night stage with electrifying live sets.
