Kanye West rocked the stage this weekend when he was a surprise guest performer at Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige’s “Heart of the City” tour kick off in Miami.

The popular rapper donned his gold and red Michael Jackson inspired jacket with a Gucci scarf and BAPE hat to top it off (R). He was first spotted rocking the same jacket two years ago at the The Brit Awards in London (L). Oh and don’t forget the white sneaks. When did he rock it better?

  1. It’s equally ugly both times he rocked it in my opinion….

  2. Brown Sugar

    Kanye has a very unique style!

  3. Ladyssolady

    I like the jacket, but please, men, PLEASE stop wearing white sneakers!! Ugh!

  4. datdude

    Da nicca can’t moonwalk and doesn’t even own a monkey, he ain’t qualified to rock something like dis. Looks like he broke out his sewing kit and made dat shit himself. Kanye need to go on and retire dat jacket.

  5. JAKE STEED

    Let the minstrel show commence! Kanye is the new & improved Sambo!

  6. Sizzle

    He looks like a British red coat from 1776.

  7. Pretty In Prada

    Mr. West not a good look at all. not even you can pull this off. and u can pull any foolishness off. I hate lil shiny lil’ drummer boy jacket. BURN IT NOW !!!

  8. MS KNOWLEDGE

  9. MS KNOWLEDGE

    ROTFLMAO@#4…..CONCRETE LOOP YALL KNOW DANG ON WELL THAT JACKET IS FULL OF SH*T…

  10. Greatestloveofall

    i’d say the 2nd photo. He aint no MJ though!

  11. Pass me an Advil...NOW!!

    i looooooooooooove kanye..he can do no wrong..but the gucci scarf is hot…

  12. kaykay

    lol, i’m so happy that “neither” is winning…different’s not always cute but i’m sure kanye and alexis know this. p.s. MJ would never wear either get up.

  13. I LOVE ME SOME CHOCOLATE! YUM

    #1 LOOKS BETTER! RESPECTFULLY

  14. Catie

    haha i knew that post was coming as soon i saw the recent pics at the concert but i think the fist time he rocked it better.

  15. cl lover

    Both are ugly as H3LL!

  16. Dame

    The 1st pic only Ye can get away with that.

  17. Hey Chelly! I love those shoes in your avatar!

    LMAO @ Datdude!

    I was thinking the same thing when I 1st saw these pics. Who does he think he is…Michael Jackson? I’m sorry but that jacket is not the biz. I am going to have to go with NEITHER!

  18. Tonya Juanise

    lmao he look a hot mess in both pictures.

    i still love you tho kanye!!

  19. The Wire Addict

    That jacket is totally yuck!!! Is he trying to bite the MJ ebony magazine cover from 1990? Only Michael Jackson can rock the European military look. If the pattern was on a blazer, it would be fine. But on a baseball jacket???? This is an example of what too much money will do to yo’ ass…make u a hot asss mess

  20. The Wire Addict

    LMAO@#4..I just peeped your comment. No one should attempt to dress like michael jackson until they own a monkey and play hide and seek with little kids…sorry Kanye. Donate it to goodwill.

  21. Yo Baby!

    Naw Naw Naw!!!
    Go on and give that coat back to the HBCU drum major you stole that from. I’m surprised he didn’t try and wear one of those tall drum major hats to, lol. What a joke.

    PEOPLE! Throwing random, off-the-wall pieces of clothing together does not make you a “fashionista”.

  22. noelle teague

    > ye fine a shsit

  23. Reccy

    Me no likey either!! Still luv u Ye!

  24. Isn’t that Beatles inspired and not Michael?

  25. PEEPLEPAYATENSHUN

    ^^^ I THOUGHT SO TO TY…

    ANYWAY YOU HAVE IT, THAT SH*T RIGHT THERE! THERE IS NO BETTER, KANYE’S IS JUST OUT THERE ON HIS OWN FOR THAT ONE.

  26. lkjasdf

    That ring master jacket should be burned.

  27. WTF

    I LUV ME SUM KANYE!!!… TO BAD HIS TAKEN lol!!!!

  28. imd0p3

    HAHAHAHAHAHA
    I must say I LOL when I seen this
    but he did rock it better with the hat and the gucci scarf.

  29. Jon

    What brand is it?? I love this jacket, it’s FLY!

  30. tha future

    i think kanye rocked it pretty well, by the way check out this great blog: http://djtriumph.blogspot.com

  31. Vee1

    Look damn near the same to me, with the exception of the shoes being different and a different shirt. I do like the little chest hair out in the first pic though. I like the fit though.

  32. Ninagirl1

    Oddly enough I like the jacket. He rocked it both times 1 just looking more casual then the other. The jacket is bold enough to stand out but it makes a good statement. 2 thumbs up for Kanye.

  33. ♥BRITTANY♥

    LMAO at #7 !…i say neither

  34. TumTumTumTum

    THis muthafucka krazy!

  35. PROVOST...

    I don’t understand… It’s the SAME LOOK BOTH TIMES. He’s wearing shades (of course) both times, a solid white shirt both times, and jeans of similar – if not the same, considering differences in color and resolution between photographers – wash and cut. A Gucci scarf – hanging out of one’s pocket, no less – does not constitute a change in sartorial message, in my opinion.

  36. PROVOST...

    …and is the jacket really MICHAEL JACKSON-inspired, or would it be more accurate to say that it is military- or band-inspired, since Mike’s was as well?

  37. big dick fuck shit

    the jacket is dior…
    take off the cap on second pic and that shit is fly

  38. funny man

    the jacket is dior.
    take off the cap and that shit is fly

  39. sister4real

    anybody know the name or something.
    please help!
    email me @
    akastef@tmail.com

    please and thanks =]

  42. Si

    That jacket reminds me of Hendrix’s black army jacket….

  43. LadyMacca

    Dear lord please do not compare Kayne’s jacket to the Beatles or Sgt. Pepper or anything connected to the greatest band on earth…and no, MJ is not connected with them in any way except his fantasies. Color of Kayne’s jacket is all wrong, the length is too short and there are not enough patches on it to even consider it a close alternative.
    Pick the best between the 2? Neither. Even an honest to god marching band member would not be caught dead in this red monstrosity. And I agree with #7…LOL!!!

  44. traron edwards

    wtf sum nigga at the top said kanye not worthy to wear the jacket you not worthy to blog nigga name datdude lol you bum michael should be honored he inspired someone like a kanye west kanye’s music,style,swag and the best thing since mike jack i dont care with what you felt fuck you nigga i know im dope and fuck ladymacca to lol young karrine steffans
