"Stronger" (Live on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!")

Video: Kanye West: "Stronger" (Live on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!")

In case you've spent the past few months in a fallout shelter-- or, at least as likely, you've been dead-- Kanye West has a new, Best New Music'd album out called Graduation. Bravado-filled lead single "Stronger" samples Daft Punk. Duh. West recently stopped by ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to give the kind of performance (complete with string section) he was reportedly bummed that he couldn't make on the MTV VMAs main stage. "You should be honored by my lateness/ That I would even show up to this fake shit," West boasts. The network's censorship of his S-word helps to make the point. "Yeah, how about that," Kimmel says to close the clip, as West begins new single "Good Life". Don't act like we never told ya.
