In case you haven’t noticed, Amy Schumer has spent quite a bit of time in Chicago recently, workshopping new material and playing secret shows at one of my favorite local venues, Constellation. If that sounds surprising, it really isn’t: Her brother, Jason Stein, is a bass clarinetist who frequently plays there.
Last night, there was an even bigger surprise: Schumer made another appearance at the North Center spot, this time bringing New York rapper Talib Kweli as a surprise guest. During the performance, the two teamed up to perform Kanye West’s “Get Em High,” which originally featured Kweli and Common, from “The College Dropout.” While we only have short Instagram videos of the rendition, it’s clear Schumer is totally up to the task of singing lyrics once sung by Kanye’s then girlfriend Sumeke Rainey. Watch the videos below so you can experience some serious fear of missing out.
