At his essence, Kanye West–a global icon, avant garde creative, Grammy award winner, among other things–is a music stan. And that can be seen anytime he has the opportunity to kick back and enjoy the rhythm to a beat (and it doesn’t have to be his own.)
After the jump, you’ll find a list of 10 moments Yeezy rocked out to the sounds of another artist’s tunes. Inspired by his surprise appearances during weekend two of Coachella, a few of the clips provide a look at West’s musical taste.

Young Thug
This is where it has to start.
Bobby Brown
There’s really no way not to smile while watching this clip.
Fetty Wap
On a cold February day, during an extremely busy week, West made time to give Fetty Wap a hell of a co-sign at the Roc City Classic concert.

A dance break is need every so often, as you can see.
Prince
Perhaps you don’t remember West’s surprise appearance during Prince’s set at Way Out West in Sweden back in 2011. But we’re sure he does.
Q-Tip
Ye cites A Tribe Called Quest as one of his idols, so it was great to see him join Q-Tip at the 2011 Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival.
Common
It’s nearly impossible to dislike Common’s “The Light.”
Raekwon
Always one to pay homage to Hip-Hop’s OG, West recently brought Raekwon on stage to perform his verse from the classic Wu-Tang Clan classic track “C.R.E.A.M.”
