Kanye West’s Swank VMA Sky Villa At The Palms: Step Inside!

September 7, 2007 - The Palms, Las Vegas, NV

Posted by Shaheem Reid (MTV News), New York, NY, at 11:36 pm EST on Friday, September 7th, 2007

So as you can see from the pictures, I’m up in the most trill player’s spot in Vegas, the Sky Villa at the Palms. Who inspired this suite? (And who the heck are the Maloof brothers kidding by calling it a “suite”? This pad is more like a luxury condo.) None other than the don himself, Hugh Hefner. This is also the spot where Kanye West will be performing during the VMAs. ‘Ye isn’t here yet, but in just a bit he’ll be on this stage with some friends. His DJ, A-Trak, is already blaring “Stronger.”

Check out video of Kanye’s rehearsal, plus more photos after the jump!

    Hi Kanye, I know that you are probably busy right now preparing for the VMA’s But if you would just please let me know why you (you and 50cents) guys are releasing your album on Sept.11th what is that all about. By the way I am just curious to know who is the person who inspired your latest hit “stronger”? I love the song and I love the video and I am glad that you are enjoying the success of your labor. But would’nt it be nice if you rewarded the person who inspired you to write such great lyrics.

    P.S. I love you and your music Kanye, and please keep up the good work!!!!!!

    Kanye is killing it this fall. I work in the club scene as a promoter and mc and no song gets requested more than STRONGER. Big Ups to 50, but I think Kanye’s gonna kill it with this one.

    ON ANOTHER NOTE…Mark Ronson’s cd VERSIONS is the ***t!!! he is killing it in the clubs and I am glad he is finally getting propper exposure. I remember when he did that “OOHH WEE” joint with Ghostface and Nate Dogg back in the days. Him and Timbo are gonna shut the awards DOWN!! Looking foward to Timberlake’s performance too.

    much love to all my fam in vegas this weekend. Shout out to my girl Shauvon from the Real World and my boy DJ Slick D out there this weekend as well.

    Kanye has a masterpiece, I was there in the sky when he shared a few songs from “Graduation”. The crowd went absolutely “mad”. “Graduation” is by far his best work. His Stonger track and video, plus his past perfromance history should have landed him an onstage performance. Scream on the “b’s Kanye cause you know you are right. They don’t want a “n” to talk back, they never did. They chose Britney, just please. Buy a real work of art, buy “Graduation. Bush is the only person that’s not on 50’s cd.
