Kanye West 'Say You Will' Freestyle: Rapper Recounts Unsuccessful Seduction During Melbourne Concert

Going to a live show and hearing songs you already know be performed is great, but going to a live show and hearing songs you know be paired up with a 7 minute long freestyle about an unsuccessful seduction is even better.

At his concert in Melbourne, Australia, Kanye West returned to form by doing just that -- taking his fans down a romantic journey that ended in disappointment. West recounts contacting one of his ex lovers late at night, asking her to come over and being led to believe she was going to take him up on the offer, only to be ultimately denied.

West gets a great deal of flack for going off the script like this, but it certainly makes for an honest, entertaining experience for the viewer. At the Madison Square Garden shows of his Watch The Throne tour with Jay-Z, West freestyled at the end of "Runaway," reminding those in the audiences, "if you love someone tonight / hold on to them tight" and berating himself over his mismanagement of prior relationships.

Our favorite moments in this performance include when his ex tells him she'll come over as soon as her favorite Pitbull song is played at the club and when he reminds her that by leaving the door open for her, he could have been robbed because "New York City is dangerous."

Watch the video below and then read a transcript of the most memorable moments. (Caution: Graphic Language).

Selected lyrics from the freestyle:

"12:35 saying that you ain't get the text
And that you're on your way, well okay, okay
Now it's 1:15 and baby you got to be playin',
Where you, are you coming are you still coming through?
She said she's at the club with her girl and it's her girl birthday and she's keeping her longer
And [she said] you know how that goes and she want to see me so bad and
She's leaving in about 15 minutes after this one favorite Pitbull song goes off or some s***t like that

...

And I can't understand, holding the white wine
Blackberry in my hand, looking at the time
Seven AM, I can't believe this is me through this again

I left the door cracked open, New York City is dangerous,
I could have been robbed, I could have been robbed!

...

And my friends say, what the f**k is wrong with him?"
'Cause there ain't no sex like an ex, ain't no sex like an ex

what a shame, kicked off his career with gold digger, and has quickly spiraled down the staircase of mediocrity.

You obviously don't know much about the career of Kanye West if you think it kicked off with "Gold Digger" so I'm not sure why you are even speaking on it.

How many other music artists get their concert freestyles covered by major media outlets? That right there should tell you something obviously. He's one of the biggest music artists in the world.

Just keeps spiraling down....even though he just won 4 more Grammys to bring his career total to 20....more than some pretty successful artists such as Tony Bennett. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

But, his recent efforts have been far less successful than earlier ones, and he keeps embarrassing himself in public. In his defense, I believe that the loss of his mother was a tremendous blow to him, both personally and in terms of his career. Certainly, she would have been a positive and steadying influence and headed off some of the acting out in public. He has to move forward. A career cannot survive on ego and boasting about conspicuous consumption. By the way, he is also not correct about New York City, where I live.

You are correct, Kanye is very relevant.

Kanye cant sing and he takes himself too seriously , I think he has talent on some level but seems depressed.

i hope he finds real love soon because as a fan it hurts to see him keep getting heartbroken and then going on painful rants like this during shows =(

It can't be more painful than reading his treatment of the English language.

Rap music only sounds "good" when its played through a super computer with auto tune etc. Live rap "concerts" are a lot of "what what" and "chea chea" while lip syncing the lines. How lame its not music in my opinion. If ya can't show up with instruments and a microphone and play LIVE then you suck and it isn't music

I like it. Kanye can be deep at times. If only I was in Europe for the second leg of the WTT tour....that would be epic.

I love Kanye West. I think he is a very talented conservative rapper who is all about business and making money. Whoever thinks he sucks must not know what real talent is then. Also hes down to earth and tells it just like it is whether you like what he says or you dont. Go Kanye West Go ignoring all the haters.

Sorry, Kanye is horrible. That's why he is using auto-tune as a gimmick (not even to be in tune, just to have a weird sound that distracts from his lack of talent). His lyrics are sophomoric at best. For talent, listen to Talib Kweli and Mos Def, Snoop and Dr Dre, Slick Rick the Ruler. Kanye is joke. One good song per album, tops. This video is an embarrassment. Jay Z should know better.

N those same talents u mentioned(who all made music with him (except dre n snoop) would say the exact opposite. Have u heard a snoop album lately? people who say he lacks talent dont appreciate music. He was lyrically better than Jay on WTT. I'm not a fan of Drake, but he can write and makes hits that'll last unlike a Wakka Flokka
