You all heard about that American Idol audition with Kanye, right? Well you can finally watch it in full. 

Playing out the wannabe role, Kanye confesses, "He always wanted to rap and nobody really believed in me." What usually follows is an absolute sub-standard, wet wipe of a performance and an immediate shut down from the judges. 

Not Kanye though, in heroic fashion he name checks an onlooking J-Lo with a performance of 'Gold Digger' to advance to the next stage in Hollywood. The new album is one ice for now. 

On a much more serious note, Kanye is currently in the studio working on his next record Swish which is due out sometime this year.
