In the second worst surprise (oh hai, Lars) of SXSW, a denim-clad Kanye West served as ringleader of the G.O.O.D. Music showcase at Levi’s/FADER Fort Saturday night. “It feels so good to rock for you tonight,” he told a packed tent at the start of a three hour set that alternated between his hits and the songs of ‘Ye protégés like Consequence and Kid Cudi. Fellow Chi-town rapper Common appeared in the final hour, performing “Universal Mind Control” and “The Light” with legitimately surprising guest Erykah Badu. The entire G.O.O.D. crew was onstage at the end, bringing the house (fort) down with a bunch of songs from 808s. The whole thing streamed on Kanye’s blog ; if you missed it, we’ve got YouTubes after the jump. Setlist too. After FADER, denim-clad Kanye and Cudi played Perez Hilton’s part with Little Boots, Ladyhawke, and … Indigo Girls?
