Maroon 5 and Kanye = BFFs

Posted Oct 11th 2007 12:15PM by TMZ Staff

Kanye West made a brief, surprise appearance at last night's Maroon 5 concert at Madison Square Garden, to the delight of the packed arena.

According to a TMZ staffer's mom (yes, Maroon 5 has 60-year-old fans), frontman Adam Levine introduced his "special friend," and the Garden went ballistic when Kanye entered to perform his duet with Adam, "Heard 'Em Say."

Kanye did his one song ("I could barely recognize him because of those big glasses he wears," said TMZ mom), waved and walked off. Kanye not hogging the spotlight? That's a new one!

Later last night, Kanye got even more groove on downtown at Tenjune, where In Touch magazine held its fifth anniversary party. Everyone from Emmy Rossum to Janet Jackson to Greasy Bear to Kenan Thompson to Matthew Isaacs, whose Bloc Group ran the show, packed the room as 'Ye tore through a frenetic set that included everything from "Golddigger" to "Good Life."

2. Why would a really good band go and degrade themselves by allowing a rapper to perform with them. I guess they must have had some lyrics that needed to be spoken, not sung. Better off if they did it themselves. My respect for the band now goes down a couple of notches.

4. Makes sense. Kanye is an arrogant cry baby and so is Adam Levine. have you seen the interviews where Adam trashes people? not suprised these two jackasses are pals.

5. I was there last night, and while I'm not a Kanye West fan at all, it was a good performance. Opening band The Hives, however, were beyond awful!

7. The only way rap music can survive is to try to market with a rock bacnd. Rock bands dont need rappers(but is good for politcal correctness) . But , rap needs Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

8. Actually the only thing rap needs to do is DISAPPEAR. It worked with disco, but then again, at least you had to have talent to do disco.

9. " DISAPPEAR" is an understatement . It's like the weird guy in the bar, who will DO ANYTHING and SAY ANYTHING for attention! He hangs around constantly looking for acceptance.(with anyone who will listen to him) You know the guy , we all do! It's like dude, just go away! That's rap music!

10. I find it hard to believe there were two 60 year old fans of MSG at concert. The words quoted did not come from a TMZ Mom but Moi!
