Kanye West and Jay-Z's SXSW "H.A.M."

Now I don't feel so bad that I had to get in line at 11 o'clock and wait till 2:30 a.m. for Kanye West to come on at the VEVO Power Station at SXSW in Austin, Texas back in March.

Now I don't feel so bad that I had to get in line at 11 o'clock and wait till 2:30 a.m. for Kanye West to come on at the VEVO Power Station at SXSW in Austin, Texas back in March. Because everybody else has had to hold their breath for four months for the videos from the anything-but-intimate performance, which included guest spots from Jay-Z - who goes "H.A.M." with West in the clip below - as well as John Legend, Mos Def and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, to finally show up streaming on the web. I guess the Internet isn't about instant gratification after all.

Along with "H.A.M." - which, if you haven't guessed, is not about prosciutto - there are a whole bunch of other clips available on Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music (that's the name of his label) site on VEVO. They're here, though unless I'm missing it, there's no sign of "Lost in the World" with Vernon.

And in other news about Yeezy and Hov, their long awaited full-length collaboration, Watch the Throne, which includes guest spots from Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Odd Future's Frank Ocean, is coming out on August 2. The track list is here.
