As I was watching the official nomination of Obama as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, I occasionally thought of all the people that would’ve loved to see this moment had they been alive. Turns out I wasn’t alone in that sentiment.

Said Yeezy to a crowd gathered for his performance early Thursday morning: “It’s an incredible time to be around. I wish my momma could have seen this day.”

On another note, Kanyeezy and Jamie Foxx performed “Gold Digger” (wtf?) at a Bono-sponsored DNC party last night. Kanye then treated the crowd to hits like “Touch the Sky” (perfect soundtrack for the Obama campaign) and “Home” (his ode to Chicago) and “Stronger” (another song that complements Obama’s candidacy). I gather he also tested a couple new songs on the audience, both dealing with heartbreak and relationships.

Despite the busy schedule, Mr. West still found time to blog about Bar Rafaeli and Wallace & Gromit’s fashion debut.
