Classic. Before HD cams were even accessible, has it been that long?

…a month or two prior to the release of Kanye’s sophomore album, Late Registration… Miller Genuine Draft and Power 92 held a freestyle battle/showcase at the Park West in Lincoln Park. Shawnna hosted the event which featured local talent including Mikkey Halsted, Miss Criss and Kaye Fox performing for the crowd. The event was running as scheduled until Kanye West, who had just wrapped his album, stormed the stage and turned this party into a listening session for Late Registration. The audience, stunned and surprised, was treated to Late Registration before the world – or even critics – got a taste of it.
