No stranger to delivering monologues in between and during performances, Kanye West closed out his bonus show at New York's Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night with a lengthy soliloquy that included props to Nas, one of hip-hop's finest, and the often admonished teen rapper, Soulja Boy. West continued his speech with another response to critics of his Bonnaroo Festival performance.
