00:00 just got a glimpse of what a Kanye West presidential campaign rally would look
00:03 like. F*cking nuts. The last day of New York City's Governor's Ball got rained out,
00:08 canceling a planned Kanye performance. The rainy life of Pablo. What? Not really on fire
00:13 today, guys. Sorry. So, Kanye had a different idea. A secret show in the
00:17 middle of the night. Kanye's creative director Virgil Abloh
00:20 posted to Instagram, "We're doing Pablo at 2 a.m. in Manhattan. Sorting out where
00:25 now." And then 2 Chainz said the show was going to be at 2 a.m. at Webster Hall
00:29 in the East Village. That was after midnight. By 2 a.m., the streets
00:43 outside Webster Hall looked like this. Kanye tried to dissuade even more people
00:47 from coming by tweeting, "Show at 2 a.m. Sold out." Even though there were no
00:51 tickets sold. And he tried to get New York Mayor Bill de Blasio on the phone
00:54 according to this Snapchat from Kim. Eventually, it became clear that the mayor
01:07 was not going to help, the streets were not going to be shut down, and the show
01:11 was not gonna happen. Some comments. Hillary Hughes. "Okay, there are like weird
01:15 stampede sprints and people climbing the scaffolding on 4th Avenue and sh*t." Nope.
01:19 Boss Nod. "Kind of reckless of Kanye pulling that pop-up stunt. Things could
01:23 have easily went another way and hip-hop would have been blamed." It's actually
01:26 really amazing for New York NYPD. The police didn't murder anyone? For more
