Kanye West: Vandals Attack After Show Cancellation

Kanye West was too popular for his own good in NYC early Monday morning -- his planned 2 AM pop-up concert was overrun with fans, then it got canceled and people went crazy.

The concert was scheduled for 2 AM, but an hour before Kanye announced on Twitter there were just too many people packed into Webster Hall. The NYPD eventually decided to pull the plug with such a large crowd "for the safety for all those involved."

Our Kanye sources say he wanted to perform and even tried to find a different venue. Sounds like he's going to try to make it up.

Check out the video and the photos ... it was a mix of party and vandalism.
