Kanye West dropped in on Jimmy Fallon to perform Bound 2 – likely to be the next single from Yeezus – live for the first time. Not one to embrace the understated, Kanye recruited The Roots, Charlie Wilson (who sings the hook on the recording), and a children’s choir to accompany him perform the multifaceted track. The result is a perfectly executed performance from West – he even managed to slip in a jibe at Kim K’s ex, Ray J.
That said, I may have just been distracted trying to work out if Kanye’s lower body is sporting a kilt or some kind of cape – an interesting wardrobe choice from the man that has previously demanded all photos of him wearing a Givenchy leather kilt be removed from the internet. Watch above and decide for yourself.
Cool thing about doing a show in NYC — anyone can drop by. @KanyeWest surprised us and performed “Bound 2” tonight on Late Night! #nojoke
