Everything about his dorky fashion in this 2003 performance of 'Gold Digger' with John Legend will make your day. Seriously.

Before Yeezus, he was Reese'us!

A rare video has surfaced of critically acclaimed rapper and now noted fashion designer Kanye West rapping an early version of his hit song 'Gold Digger' before the release of The College Dropout, with "All Of Me" musician John Legend on keys.


WARNING:
The video contains NSFW and objectionable lyrics. Honestly, if you want to skip it, what we're really here to to talk about is his adorably dorky clothes.

We're sorry Kanye, we're gonna let you finish, but your 2003 style choices were the greatest style choices of all time!
