Kanye West Appears at Apple Unveiling of iPod Nano

[mondo joe]

Apple unveiled the sleek sexy new iPod Nano with a performance by Kanye West.

West thanked Steve Jobs for letting him perform anyway - I assume a reference to fallout from his Bush comments.

The whole thing on on quicktime at http://www.apple.com/ - Kanye appears near the end.

1. He actually dissed Bush when he finished.

But his comment has been edited from Apple's version online.

I'd love to know what he actually said.

According to Engadget coverage of the event... Engadget.com coverage of the event...

1:55pm - Kanye West: “I’d like to thank Steve Jobs for still letting me perform.”
1:58pm - Kanye just dissed Bush again.
2:04pm - Peace out from Kanye. Steve is back on stage. “Thank you all for coming, and we’ll see you soon. Buh-bye.” That’s it!

2. Oh this is it:

"Later on, keeping with his anti-Bush statements from last week, rapped, 'That's why shorties hollering 'where the ballas' at?' / Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack / And George Bush get paid off of all of that.' "
