With NBA All-Star Weekend poppin' off this weekend, there's been a lot of things happening. For hip hop especially, there's a ton of concerts and events happening surrounding some of the biggest names in the genre.  Adidas 747 Warehouse St. event was definitely the spot to be at for hip hop fans. From exclusive sneaker drops to panels and music performances and more, they set the standard for All-Star weekend activities. For the fortunate ones who were at the event, they were graced with a surprise visit from Kanye West who ended up performing a little something with his good friend, Kid Cudi.

Kanye West and Kid Cudi performed together during Adidas 747 Warehouse St. event last night in Downtown L.A. Kanye introduced Cudi to the stage before the two of them performed their The Life Of Pablo collaboration on "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1." 

According to TMZ, prior to the event Kanye West and A$AP Rocky were spotted leaving the studio together. While there wasn't any confirmation as to what they were doing but working on music is probably the best bet. Rocky just finished his album and Yeezy's also been working on his album so maybe Rocky was playing a few cuts for 'Ye or Kanye just needed a quick Rocky verse. Either way, we're excited to hear what the two of them have in the cut together.

You could watch Cudi and Kanye West's performance below.
