Way back in 1996, before the world grew to know, love, and/or detest the man known as Kanye West, he was just an 18-year-old dude trying to start his rap career. And thanks to the folks at DDotOmen, we now have some footage of a young Yeezy killin' it onstage in his native Chicago with then-rapper pal Phenom. The best part? Probably the sampling of Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Brooklyn Zoo" on the hook. You can watch the video above.
