It's a metaphor throughout the whole song. He's talking about Chicago his first love affair with "Windy" (TheWindy City). He left her for fame but sometimes he comes back home to let Chi City know he's still representing her. He says it at the end "In case you don't know by now, I'm talking 'bout ChiTown".
I love the song so much. I don’t listen to Kanye but when I’m on lake shore on a summer night I’ll blast this song while overlooking the lake everytime I get.
If you want the lyrical Kanye, then you should react to "All Falls Down", "Champion", "Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone", "Two Words", and "Never Let Me Down". Kanye's verse from "Never Let Me Down" is hands down one of his best verses of his career.
This is Kanye's version of "I USED TO LOVE H.E.R" by COMMON where he used 'HER' as a euphemism for Hip Hop like Kanye did in this for 'Chicago'. Kanye referenced working with Coldplay in the song "BIG BROTHER" the song he wrote about Jay Z talking about Jay Z wasn't in to certain fashion and music until Kanye did it, cuz after Kanye worked Coldplay, Jay Z worked with them and him and Beyonce became best friends with Chris and his then wife, Gweneth Paltrow which is why she was on stage in Paris with them when they performed the song.
Dude, if you guys love Can't tell me nothing like that... you owe it to yourselves to listen to the entire discography in order. Kanye is an album artist. IYKYK
Kanye in his bag on this song, couldn’t tell if you knew but he was making it sound like he’s talking about a girl but he’s talking about Chicago the whole time. Man can do it all
Cartier family, thanks to all y'all! I saw a video with a pastor talking about rappers signing contracts where they cannot use Jesus. That's some wicked ish if you think... In your spare time or react if you want to Linkin Park and Jay z is dope with 99 problems live - points of authority. Chris Martin and Jay z were really tight at one time but IDK now
Dude yall should react to the Champion SAMPLE Kid Charlemagne it’s an even better song this coming from a big Ye fan but Steely Dan is the shiii react to Kid Charlemagne
You should listen to Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan. I can GUARANTEE Brandon will be happy he heard it. As for the rest of yall, I think you'll like it.
Nas may be a better technical rapper but Ye got insane songwriting ability bar for bar theyre neck n neck imo and Ye produces fire beats they’re both Goats
The genius part about this song is you think he's talking about a woman but he's actually talking about Chicago the whole time. "I met this girl when I was 3 years old" is a reference to he and his mom moving to Chicago from Atlanta when he was 3. "My name is Wendy and I like to blow trees" yeah because Chicago is known as the windy City. Clever wordplay but there are much better songs from that Graduation album than this
How did yall not catch he’s talking about Chicago…”The Windy City” The girl h’s talking about name is Windy….she “blows trees” and “blows dudes off”….like the wind. How did y’all not catch that??
Guys, some constructive criticism from me... Please sort the sound from the track out. Yous are great but it's a bit of an issue hearing the track though your speaker. Keep up the good work fellas 😊
Them calling Chris Martin John legend had me dying
Likewise 😂

This is a the 2nd version of the song. John legend is on the original
They litterally have the most difference voices..i can't understand these people

Christ Martin is the last person on planet who sounds like john legend

i kept hearing “shot city” and “shot town” and it actually sounds rlly cool

Gorgeous?
Never Let Me Down is one of the most iconic songs I've ever heard, and I listen to so much music / genres. It's pure hunger and drive.
@@ScottThePisces fully agree with you bro! The passion is top notch and Jay-Z did his thing on the song as well.
@@L4C3-L4 love this song as well. Had the beat from this song as my ring tone back then!
Crack music is a good listen also
Kanye west- Never let you down. One of his best songs
I’m sayinggggg tht shii too hard🔥🔥🔥
FRRR

Being from Chicago, this song definitely hits different when you realize homecoming is about Chicago
Thank you i dont know if these guys making the video do . There suppose to catch this stuff
Definitely Hit Different 🫶🏽💯
Dude, if you guys love Can't tell me nothing like that... you owe it to yourselves to listen to the entire discography in order.
Kanye is an album artist. IYKYK
We need some Coldplay and Radiohead reactions. The album viva la vida from Coldplay and in rainbows by Radiohead are amazing.
Nah they review white stuff for a joke. Tides turned they listen to has been
💀

@@zac_os idk just have a feeling they wouldn't like it
@@naksu444 honestly ur correct
Bruh Kanye got many hit songs too,been on replay on my Spotify...I can't pick my top 3 favs too cuz it's hard
Love this song especially being from the Chi. He's describing Chicago in this song.
Fr I think only ppl from Chicago can catch what he’s really saying, and relate to it on a different level
Since you guys heard Chris Martin you can do Coldplay - Yellow
It’s the lead singer from Coldplay ! Sheesh
Graduation... What a time
I saw u comment on that other guys vid 8 months ago😂
Used to listen to Glory by Kanye on repeat constantly when I was a kid. He’s in my top 3
Being from chicago this song always hit different on bro 💯 ye a chicago legend 🐐
I'm a metalhead and love Kanye. His music is amazing
You guys need to do
"Diamonds from Sierra Leone " featuring Jay Z
And Kanye feature Camron and Consequence
I've always preferred the original version of this. The sample is just soo soulful.
Classic…. Way better than this version…. Many don’t know about that
def the best version
The original is incredible, but low key I still prefer this version
One of my favorite kanye songs 🔥
Y'all not immediately recognizing that voice as Chris Martin got me feeling old asf 🤣
And thinking it sounded like John Legend😭
Kanye 1st 3 albums are straight classics
Kanye got the concept for this song from commons song “ I used to love H.E.R”
YOUNG PAPPY!!!
He's talking about Chicago when he says he met Windy as is windy city is amazing
That’s Chris Martin from Coldplay dawgz.
Yes do more Kanye. Check out "Gorgeous" "jesus lord" "black skinhead" "st. Pablo"
i love how the whole song he's really talking about the city chicago
I think it’s the lead singer of Cold Play.
Happy Saturday guys, stay cool!!
This was a mixtape song that he turned into a real song its call COMING HOME kanye feat. John legend
I think you should do heard ‘‘em say by Kanye and Adam Levine
so chaotic is hilarious, loved it
Kanye in his bag on this song, couldn’t tell if you knew but he was making it sound like he’s talking about a girl but he’s talking about Chicago the whole time. Man can do it all
Guy at the back who has never heard the song before, but manages to quietly sing all the lyrics in perfect timing is classic 😂
*Fun fact: Ye got 24 Grammys, tied with Jay Z*

Go to a Kanye concert. You’ll be a Stan too
Mona Lisa - Lil Wayne

I see people talking about diamonds are forever... I'd like to see you guys check out conflict diamonds by Lupe fiasco.
Check out his song "fade" starring the great Teyana Taylor- every guy loves it and us girls too!
Oh yea another suggestion is Kanye diamonds from Sierra Leone remix like oh my word there are baaaaaaaaars in that one
This has to be my favorite song it's joyful and sad because the whole song is about Chicago's history before and how Ye knew her as.
its about Chicago
You have to listen to Kanye "Go Hard"! Deff worth it 👌 💯
if yall had the censored version and knew it was chris martin, this video would be gold.
I AM HERE FOR YEEZUS!!
John Legend was on the original Homecoming demo… they switched it for the album.
agree with the mate in the left, Kanye is the goat
Don't know if you got a new camera, but the videos looking real smooth
He's talking about Chicago like if the city of Chicago is rapping the song
Kanye West does have a song with Adam Levine called "Heard them Say"
Legend and West have a few songs together
Reminds me allot of Josie from Steely Dan lyrically
you gotta react to some lupe fiasco again. gotta peep the lyric break down videos people have too.
It's time to do : eminem ft Busta rhymes - calm down
That song is super competitive
Been asking for this song for months now
Keep asking song garbage
This is song that makes me become Kanye’s fan. 🫡
That’s Chris Martin

Kanye as an ARTIST…. Goated. On eminem level as an artist. Rapper, he is top 15 forsure
I soul of like for you to do some more country. Do Johnny Cash , Man in Black. Start there.
If y'all get the chance listen to No More Parties in LA with Kendrick or Devil In A New Dress with Rick Ross!!
Thru the wire!
Yall chose Kanye on the Forever track? You guys might just be goated.
Nas and Kanye got a song together called Everything if you want to listen to some soul bars.
0:50 Steely Dan! Yo! \m/
the other vocals are from Chris Martin from the band Coldplay
Look up how this song came to be. Chris Martin played a huge role in changing Kanye’s own lyrics on the song.
It's Coldplay with him how do they not know.
Cartier family, thanks to all y'all! I saw a video with a pastor talking about rappers signing contracts where they cannot use Jesus. That's some wicked ish if you think...
