Listen To Kanye West’s Saturday Night Live Meltdown

Kanye West went on an epic rant before his appearance on Saturday Night Live, last week. According to the New York Post, Kanye was upset that staffers ripped up some shiny flooring from his set because it was reflecting the stage lights, creating a confusing effect on the video wall behind him.

“Are they f—–g crazy? Whoa by 50 percent [I am more influential than] Stanley Kubrick, Picasso, Apostle Paul, f—–g Picasso and Escobar. By 50 percent more influential than any other human being. Don’t f–k with me. Don’t f–k with me. Don’t f–k with me. By 50 percent dead or alive, by 50 percent for the next 1,000 years. Stanley Kubrick, ‘Ye,” said West.

Apparently West wanted to bail on the show, but Lorne Michaels brought him back to perform.

Listen to rant below. We apologize for the New York Post’s long commercial.
