Kanye West kicked off his two-night show at Hollywood Bowl to perform his 2008 album "808's & Heartbreak", but it didn't go as smoothly as he expected. According to multiple reports, the rapper experienced technical difficulties halfway through his show.
In a video obtained by TMZ from the Friday concert, Kanye, at one point, was forced to cut the music. "There's no piano. Stop the track," he said while onstage. The rapper reportedly addressed the situation by saying, "This is the best dress rehearsal I've ever had."
Rumor has it, the glitch occurred as a result of his lack of preparation. The "Heartless" hitmaker was allegedly late to the rehearsal the night before. When he finally showed up, he couldn't do a run-through because of noise restrictions.
Kanye's problems reportedly didn't stop at the concert. According to TMZ, cops pulled the plug on an after-party at a private Beverly Hills estate. The officers showed up before the rapper arrived at the venue. The bash was promptly relocated.
Aside from the technical problems, the concert featured a visual spectacle. Kid Cudi, Mr. Hudson, Zoe Kravitz, and Young Jeezy were among the special guests. Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian was in attendance along with some of her sisters.
