Many viewers were not thrilled that he decided to revisit lesser versions of his old songs instead of performing new material. There were also were those who didn't like the new single either.

Despite this section of detractors, there were still loads of faithful fans that loved to new take on classics, as well as the new cut.

They took to Twitter to praise the beloved rapper, claiming that it was among the top tier of SNL performances.
