Amy Schumer is already a killer writer and comedian, but she can also rap! Schumer and Talib Kweli performed a joint show in Chicago at the Constellation on Tuesday, Aug. 25. Schumer did her stand-up comedy routine and the Brooklyn-based rapper preformed some of his songs.
Schumer joined Kweli onstage in the middle of his set and helped the musician rap "Get Em High," by Kanye West, which he is featured on, reported Vulture. The "Trainwreck" star sung the track's female vocals which were originally recorded by West's girlfriend at the time, Sumeke Rainey. The track was found on West's critically acclaimed 2004 album "The College Dropout," according to Pitchfork.
