As a Therapist myself I really respect how kanye expresses his emotions musically. I want to shout out two of his best songs closest to our profession: "Power" Shows the umderrepresented manic agitated side of suicidality. "Runaway" is a masterpiece about a narcissist being able to reflect but not being able to change.
100%%%% That's why it resonates with me so deeply. I might not have the same lifestyle, background, or situations he's been in, but that way he processes it and puts it on display is so relatable. Runaway is number 1 for me because of it. Just enough self awareness whats wrong with you but not enough self awareness to consciously address it. Grandiosity is an addiction.
3:25 "I open the door like Will Smith and Martin". This is a refrence to the movie bad boys. There is a scene where the daughter of martin goes on a date. So when the boy rings the bell Martin and Will open the door being (overly) protective of Martin's daughter.
This song is deeper than most people know. Minaj's inclusion is far more than a joking jab with the "turn into a monster, not having minages" line. The title itself, 'Violent Crimes', is referencing the repeated rape and abuse committed by Nicki Minaj's brother against his 11 year old step daughter. The chorus lines: "Plottin', schemin', finding Reason to defend all of your violent nights ... They gotta repeat the colors, the lie is wearin' off Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off" Are also referencing this, as well as the repeated description of men being 'monsters'. Lastly, the lines: "She got the scars, they serve as reminders Blood still on her pajamas, but yesterday is dead, yeah" Are directly referencing the descriptions of evidence of the abuse that was used in the court case.
this is literally his most aggresively ghostwritten song. he admitted to having pretty much no hand in writing the lyrics for this song. lowk hurt to find out cause this song is so personal
You should definitely hear the leaked version of Violent Crimes that he scrapped called Brothers. It's very different and talks about different emotions but it's equally as deep.
I honestly think this is onen of the greatest songs of anyones discography, ever. It has such a reflective, abstract, and otherworldly nature to it sonically, all while carrying such a powerful message. Theres no catchy hook and yet its one of his most memorable and beloved songs. Just beautiful and pure all around.
This album to this day is stil my second favorite of Kanye the rawness and how self aware of what happening to him around this times gave this album a touch that I always love from it
When you explained the beginning and how night is where we process our hard thoughts, it got to me in a good way. I always thought that by hearing the science behind my thoughts, I would become more scared but I actually think I'm better off knowing. Thank you for helping me.
It was a "You hearing this?" Or "Hm this is pretty interesting (good)" In a concerned and genuine way. Repent (change mind) and believe in The LORD JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved! Believe The Gospel to be saved JESUS is GOD He loves you so much that He died for your sins and rose again!! ✝️💖🙏🏻 John 3:16 (KJV) - 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6 (KJV) - 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) - 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 6:23 (KJV) - 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:6-8 (KJV) - 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV) - 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Revelation 1:7-8 (KJV) - 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Hello my little brother is going through really bad mental health problems he’s been dealing with is for almost 3 years now it’s gotten worse over time and we’ve tried everything tried to get him help but he never whiningly goes.. your outlook on everything hits me hard because I listen to your words you’re you’re saying the exact things I need my brother to hear
Fully agree with what he said about nurturing women but, mens, dont forget, treat your woman like a Queen so that she treats you like her King, dont treat a woman like a queen just to be answered to like a pawn, knowing what your worth shouldnt depreciate others
@@Lowkidoe29 I’m not really into rap, but i respect the art. Also don’t listen to music i can get ‘cancelled’ for singing out loud, so anything with N word variants don’t make the cut for my playlists
070 Shake is such a voice of our generation ..I almost forgot this song literally makes me cry so im not Ana be able to watch the video but yea one for the ages
5:15 both men AND women need to know their value. so many men place themselves in the presence of sub par energy just to have someone to fck , poisoning their own energy. whatever the gender, sex is a big deal when it comes tothe effects on your energy and therefore your vibes and what is manifesting in your life
Loved this reaction, one of my top songs by kanye. It would be cool if you reacted to more ynw melly in the future like mind of melvin (feat. Lil Uzi Vert). No pressure tho!
I actually didn't know the meaning of the song so thank you and its actually very relatble because i don't want to have a daughter that is just used for her body or her face or Something like that
This album is one of Kanye’s masterpieces and often overlooked, it really shows the growth of kanye
If this album would've had even 10-12 songs I believe most would have it ranked much much higher. Still a masterpiece in it's own.
This album shouldn't be seen as good nor bad because it's main purpose is to express kanyes mental status

This song came out shortly after my daughter was born. I used to have this song on repeat felt this one to the core
“Only One” is another good one by him too
Currently going through the same thing, she’s 2 months now! Hope you’re doing good bro!

Apprently this song was ghost written though

I second this.

I did not know this thank you for sharing
Dam, tysm
that put this whole song in s different light
Thanks for enlightening me.
❤
Fun fact kanye produced this himself , the beat , the sample , the lyrics , each space he made the entire thing himself
well he does that for plenty of songs especially ones with great meaning or significance
He didn’t write it thi
this is literally his most aggresively ghostwritten song. he admitted to having pretty much no hand in writing the lyrics for this song. lowk hurt to find out cause this song is so personal
I'm sorry to disappoint you but Kanye only wrote one verse of the entire song :/
@@brunoruiz544 not disappointed and that still don’t discredit anything. But yeah I spewed our misinformation
my dumb ass read the title as the r*pist reacts to kany west- violent crimes
THE RAPIST REACTS to Kanye West - Violent Crimes
💀💀💀
You should definitely hear the leaked version of Violent Crimes that he scrapped called Brothers. It's very different and talks about different emotions but it's equally as deep.
My husband dedicated this to our children before he took his own life. 💔
Salute and rest in peace to him 🕊️
Rip
This made me tear up ngl. God bless
Gods with you and your family, I hope you all are doing well
🕊️🤍

It’s Kanye’s realization that at the end of the day his daughter gets to choose her path and he can only serve as a guide that gets to me
I was waiting for this one! One of my favorite Kanye songs! Thanks for the great reaction Tom!
You should try listening "ghost town" it's a really deep and meaning full song
definitely this！
This album to this day is stil my second favorite of Kanye the rawness and how self aware of what happening to him around this times gave this album a touch that I always love from it
same lol runaway takes 1st. easily the best song off ye, ghost town is amazing too.

I would love to see your reaction to the rest of this album
This
one of my all time favorite songs it's just so beautifully produced and carries such a powerful message
2:00 damn thats why I cant sleep man like I overthink about a lot of things and I cant fall asleep
This video just reinforced why i love Ye.
Kanye asked niki for a verse in a song so the ending with niki was what she sent him. He says that but singing towards the beginning of his verse
Definitely do Ghost Town next! One of my favorite songs from Kayne :)
real
Love love love this song and album by Ye
MORE KANYE All of the lights is a good one
i cry when i hear this song
One of his most underrated songs
wouldnt be saying that
the song is popular which is surprising cause so many people hated ye

my favourite kanye song at the moment
Thank you for breaking it down, I never really listened to the lyrics in a deep context and wow, very eye opening

This song changed my veiw on women and help me become a better person overall
IVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE FOR YEARS AND ITS FINALLY HERE. THANK YOU TOM FOR REACTING TO THIS! MUCH LOVE❤
I cried to this song cause I view my little sister as my own child
Man I love this song
This song makes me cry by itself, but knowing the earlier version “Brothers” fucks me up so much
such a great track
I really loved your takes. Feels sincere and authentic and has great insights.
Please react to Chance The Rappers unreleased verse in this! Very good, has a deeper message.

Until your first Kanye video i had never actually hear a Kanye song all the way through
How’ve you been liking them ?
Common perception of Kanye based on Media. How you liking the music now that you've actually listened to it?

@@Pikawarps shame, ur missing out on so much great art because of your boundaries. but u do u of course
Listen to the demo of it called brothers
MORE KANYE! Review some of his religious albums or songs.
You're the best UA-camr out here. You show passion with every word, every gesture, it's truly incredible. Hats off.
KANYE IS THE GOAT
Damn you straight spit facts about the night part. Subscribed.
070 Shake is such a voice of our generation ..I almost forgot this song literally makes me cry so im not Ana be able to watch the video but yea one for the ages
My fav Kanye song
Kanye's best song hands down, Great flow, instrumental, and message. Beautiful song
Need I remind you runaway exists
@@tylerfilmsstuff DIAND is better
you should react to the whole album at one time
I wish he would make music like this again
he should have listened to the demo he cried. It's heart-crushing
Today I thought about killing you is a underrated masterpiece that you should listen to.
mhmhmhm this song just make me sad thinking about when i was younger and the world was just sunshine and rainbows
5:15 both men AND women need to know their value. so many men place themselves in the presence of sub par energy just to have someone to fck , poisoning their own energy. whatever the gender, sex is a big deal when it comes tothe effects on your energy and therefore your vibes and what is manifesting in your life
Top 10 kanye songs for sureee
Ye’s truly a hero
1:55 hit me in my soul
Anyone else read the title like that!?
I love this song
more Kanye please
Great reaction bro! Coming from a young black man. You were able
to truly understand where he was coming from
You should do more reactions of this album.
Im 16 and im already scared for my love life in the future with how the worlds going rn
Can u react to the whole album? It’s not very long. Around maybe 5-6 songs?
🐐
Loved this reaction, one of my top songs by kanye. It would be cool if you reacted to more ynw melly in the future like mind of melvin (feat. Lil Uzi Vert). No pressure tho!
forgot the space in therapist whoops
We need more kanye reactions
This needs more seasoning
love it
great song
The way he cuts off at the n word 😂
Baaaaaaa. Baaaaaaa. Baaaaaaaa. Don’t kill me
Do Ghost Town.
And also “I thought about killing you”
what psychological approach do you subscribe to?
Been waiting on this one for about a year now. Thank youuuu
I think you're referring to Applebee's at 5:35
bro imagine having a mental breakdown and your therapist goes like YAA HAHA YEAP
i read the title as the rap3ist
kanye best artist oat
therapy
GOAT!
Ghost town
My thing is, why men need a daughter to see women as people? They have a mom, sisters, grandmother's and aunt's.
Try wolves
very interesting video!
i know kanye isnt very appreciated lately but white dress is a very beautiful song and it's from 2012
THE WHAT
Therapist
I actually didn't know the meaning of the song so thank you and its actually very relatble because i don't want to have a daughter that is just used for her body or her face or Something like that
Ye.
He is cool
The intro did not have to go that hard
yo you should listen to ghost town off the same kanye album
❤
I thought it was MIke Dean on the thumbnail
My bad I read it as The Rapist reacts to kanye at first 😅
