We knew this was possible, since said rage was directed at celebrity gossip photographers - but we didn't expect such clear footage, or audio!

In the video clip below, an irritable Kanye West frickin' loses his $h!t as a celebrity news photog started screaming for the cops to assist him.

Mid-camera smashing, the pissed-off rapper proclaims loudly "Ain't no police man!!"

Ironic, since there were police around and they arrested Kanye West pretty fast.

Anyway, enjoy this video from TMZ - the target of the rage!
