So Kanye finally made his SNL performance debut this weekend (remember the Hurricane Katrina skit?) and it was mostly something fierce. He swallowed his pride, like he did the last time he parodied himself, for a skit making fun of his child-like awards show behavior. It was funny.

Kanye also turned in a seriously excited couple of verses during "Stronger" and headed straight into "Good Life." I hung in there through the first half of "Champion," but the freestyled ending got a little awkward at times. Dude sort of lost me with, "the blogs, the blogs, yo, they try to diss me / but they cannot see I'm on sat-ur-day night gettt-in' bus-y."


Anyway, here's the self-parody. The two performance clips are behind the break.
