Watch A Pre-'College Dropout' Kanye West Perform "Gold Digger"

A Rare 2003 Clip Has Surfaced Of Kanye West Performing 'The College Dropout' LP Standout "Gold Digger" One Year Before The Album Dropped At The Dynamic Producer Conference.

A rare 2003 clip has surfaced of Kanye West performing what would become the Late Registration LP standout "Gold Digger" at the 2nd Annual Dynamic Producer Conference. The clip filmed one year before The College Dropout arrived features a young John Legend, backing West on piano for this rendition of the then-unreleased track. A total throwback to Ye's backpack era, the clip devoid of a proper hook or the signature Ray Charles sample is a super cool gem that really puts the Chi-Town megastar's evolution into perspective. Check the footage below to watch the video from Channel Dynamic.
