Who would’ve thought that this kid on stage with a local Chicago MC, Phenom, would go on to achieve mutiple Grammy Awards, Billboard Awards, #1 Albums, Platinum plaques and more, on the way to becoming a Hip-Hop superstar? In this video, unearthed by DDotOmen, we see a teenaged Kanye exemplifying a microcosm of the stage presence that would eventually captivate millions of fans.

On the day that we celebrate Martin Luther King’s Birthday, this is a great video that should show you to always believe in your vision, and follow your dreams.
