For a guy who wasn't on the lineup, Kanye West stayed busy at Coachella yesterday. He performed with A$AP Rocky and joined Diplo and Skrillex for Jack Ü's set, and as Billboard points out, he also took part in an unofficial "Coachella track meet." Odd Future's Taco filmed while Kanye and Tyler, the Creator raced each other. The clip below is dark, but in the end, Tyler screams that he won while Kanye screams that the race was unfair. "This dude was in my way," shouts Kanye while pointing at the supposed culprit. Intense stuff—watch it happen below. Update (4/18, 11:30 a.m.): Tyler partook in another race while at Coachella. Below, watch him, A$AP Rocky, and A$AP Nast race (and tumble) their way down a slide. Tyler celebrates like he won (again), but a video from A$AP Ferg shows there was–understandably–some dispute over the real winner. Update (4/18, 2:59 p.m.): Tyler's Coachella shenanigans didn't stop there. Last night, he stopped by the Gobi Tent for Death Grips' set, where he partook in some moshing with the audience. Check out footage of him going wild for "Hustle Bones" below.
