There's no doubting that Kanye West has changed a bit over the years, and this video highlights just how different he is. 

Back in 1996, we highly doubt that Kanye was too worried about whether or not the press were giving him stick or planning on have a massive rant about whatever it is that was bothering him that day. No, at just 19-years old, he was probably more concerned about trying to catch the ear of someone important and get his music out there. 

There's no doubting that the guy had and still has talent, but the kid with the microphone in this video spitting rhymes somewhat self-consciously is nothing like the star we know now.

This was shot eight years before he released his first album, The College Dropout, and boy have there been some changes since then. Of course, if you believe Dave Chappelle, then Kanye always had that air of stardom about him.
