Kanye West performed at the Essence Music Festival in News Orleans this past weekend, where the superstar rapper surprised the packed crowd with a portion of his show dedicated to old school jams.
Mr. West played songs like "Before I Let You Go" by Frankie Beverly, "Come & Talk to Me" by Jodeci, "Groove Me' by Guy," "Poison" by Bel Biv Devoe, and "My Perogative" by Bobby Brown while entertaining the crowd by busting out in some old school dance moves.
