Isn't that the beauty of it? Or should I say genius: someone must have told him he couldn't and he turned around and told himself he can and then he became.
How many people do you know that creates his or her own music and rhymes? There are not that many to begin with so yes he's a genius if you like it or not.
I forgot how talented he is Sometimes, because the drama in his life over shadows his his talent. It’s a shame how people judge his talent because of who he is. Talent is talent. Full stop
The vision of the artist is a extension of who it is, same with the politic views. But i have to admit the people in general is unfair with Kanye. At least he kicked 2018.
I agree except he wants and tries to lead but he does it in a twisted way that only resonate to him. I think he is terribly misjudged music aside ...musically hes judged as a genius and that's accurate.

+Ajoykumar Thongbam I'm a huge Kanye fan, but he didn't discover Bon Iver. Dude was already riding high off is first album. You know that one that had Skinny Love? shit was all over the place when he came out. Lost in the Woods is actually sampled from Bon Iver's first album.
just because he added a guitar and a few horns on to a song with piano doesnt mean hes genre bending lol.. kanye fans are retarded they actually think this shits genius i dont see it
This song speaks so hard to me. As a veteran who is already dead just waiting for time to catch up. I have broken beauty, slaved ambition, heartache to myself, lost the win, fumbled the love and exhausted the tireless. I pray for all of us.
This song is an ode to everyone who struggles with mental illness and manages to see their own destructive behavior but feels like they just can't stop it. It's terrifying, it's also inspiring. Regardless of how Kanye has behaved, it's undeniable that his music touches us all in a very unique and special way.
this is a very important comment. one of the reasons I love this album so much is because I think it's a brilliant lesson in teaching others about how Kanye's mental illness shaped his career for good and bad. I agree. very unique and special but also terrifying and inspiring.
@@norwoodlewis5567 well... it's clear he has both. Whether one exasperated the other or how they intersect is something to be examined.

Kanye did good with his dough. Some rappers bought cars, jewelries, got women pregnant like heck and paying children support like heck and they're broke.
Kanye stands from a long table with black people all dressed in white, except this one woman. As he starts playing the piano, ballerinas all dressed in black run in two lines to dance to his tune. They're all the same, and as he raps he faces the dancers and not the table (audience). The people at the table pay him no mind at all except for when they raise their glasses for the toast. But this woman, the colourful one who really doesn't fit in, has her whole body turned to him, watching him. He has all her attention. As soon as he stops playing the tune, the dancing women leave as quickly as they arrived. He goes on to take his seat and she's still looking at him, almost admiring him. Not bothered by anything he says (him telling her to run away). I think it's the reason why he doesn't face her throughout the whole 'show'.. She stands out in so many ways.. lol it's midnight here.
Kanye west is a music maestro. Didn't appreciate him much back then. But lately I've been listening to his songs and it touched my heart. KW was something else. Peak of music.
The instrumental of this track is just emotionally terrifying; not only does it resemble a form of despair but with a tad bit anger down in it's core and I can't listen to it too often, because I get flashbacks. Great, great work, musically speaking.
@@ragebaby8396 at the end of the day music is just sound but no matter how simple they can always invoke a response in people. So if this specific piece of music touches them, let it be.
I didn't fully appreciate the hype behind his music until I heard the orchestral version of a bunch of his songs. It was then that I realized how complex and dramatic, emotional the musicality of his work is
He is a real one. Probably the only celebrity that can admit to his wrongs and humble his self. When you are that humble it doesn't matter what they take from you because you know there is a higher meaning to this life. When you have that spiritual Awakening nothing matters anymore you are just here to learn.
I walk go walking everyday listening to this on full blast down by the river into nature and i feel the music come from everywhere and everything, amazing ❤
The entirety of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was masterpiece after masterpiece. Every track was unique and special in its own way. Easily one of the best albums ever.
As you said just your opinion, Wu tang, El P, Aesop rock, gangstarr, 2pac and 100more artists better that this commercial product....(And its just my opinion, but I'm not the only one) ;)
JO 7Z Is Kanye the commercial one? All his actions make him controversial. I would say the mainstream view now is to hate on Kanye. You may think he is commercial because of how profound his work is, but that may just be because he is a larger personality than all of the people you listed.
say what you want about kanye, but this song is definitely a classic. It's the exact portrayal of a man who is able to admit his infidelity and lack of loyalty toward those that care about him (presumably an ex who once cared about him before becoming a self-centered dick). it's truly an anthem for guys willing to admit how shitty they've treated good girls in their pasts who deserved alot better. let's have a toast.
Or guys that have been called.a.scumbag when they actually aren't because someone wanted to make them feel like shit and own them when they were in love.
Kanye west: the perfect combintation between genius and idiocy. Never have i come across an artist with so much self awareness yet such a high amount if ignorance. Its great really
I'd say he's just speaking his mind and being honest, when other celebrities are afraid to do so and never do that. I mean it's not like everything he says is nonsense, he often has good points.
@@chaotixskulls7051 except race/religion has nothing to do with it, the only reason to bring that into the equation is for racist/anti-semitic reasons. People in power work to amass power, this isn't exclusive to any one religion or race, so going after the folks who have power in Hollywood because they are Jewish is textbook racism/anti-Semitism.
I never understood the music video until I started watching it everyday after a bad breakup, and seeing how it's in the middle of a pandemic, it really has me sitting here with my thoughts. For me, this is a story about a guy who is well liked and received: Popular, accredited, accomplished. Yet, he gets up from all of this, him leaving the table, to point out to everyone in the room, something that is wrong. He starts to play a piano, and suddenly these women start to run out and start dancing. Now, I see it as he is playing a tune that he expects women he selects to be his partner to dance to, and he expects them to dance well. The tune being the relationship. And there are lots of them, and they all have beautiful and different styles to them that bring something different to the tune he is making them perform to. And then he stops playing the tune, and tries to tell them to run, because he is recognizing his own shit, and that is when he climbs on top of the piano. But they keep dancing. And then the song goes on, and at the end, the coded verse only he knows, meaning its his own failure to communicate to either the women who have been in his life, or the people he is trying to warn, like at the table, of his own issues. And all the while, as the up close shots are happening in this time, he is haunted at the memories of the women who tried so hard to be with him and get him to communicate and be healthy. And at the end, when the tune is finished, and they leave, there is applause; by the very people he tried to show his own problems. Now I don't know what that is about, but maybe it's about a group of people who enable him to continue in his ways because it doesn't affect them nor bother them so long as they are at his table. Just my thoughts, feel free to express your own if you feel the need.
Never was much of a romantic I could never take the intimacy And I know it did damage 'Cause the look in your eyes is killin' me I guessin' you're at an advantage 'Cause you could blame me for everything And I don't know where I'ma manage If one day you just up and leave
This is a class act. Song, music, video and all. A class act. When he climbs on that piano there is something in the expression of his face that cuts deep to the bone.
When he get's on the piano you can feel all the emotions through his actions.. With that being said, this song helps me through so many different heart breaks and issues that no person could ever relieve me of. It's a strong and passionate song that has so much truth behind the lyrics. I wish I could personally thank Kanye for this work of art.
"They were born, they suffered, they died"(Anatole France) other say that only sure thing in ouer life is moment when death comes to us. So pain can be given by nature, other people or we can feel fear of existence, what can harm a lot. Tradition gives no more recipe how to live, society is cruel, we are left alone with ouer choices. Its not somehow addiction to pain, its fear of unknown, i think. Death can be as a joke in a movie but its real and somehow maybe its not an end but the door to new beginning...
Kanye West is the best thing that happened to the art and music world this century. He is the only thing we have to show for, all this technology and yet the art and music world keep going backwards and get worse and worse, he is the only forward step we have to show for. Thank you for giving it a try Kanye
C'mon how can someone dislike this song? It's pure music art.. which hip hopper or rapper do dat now? No one, no one can be compared to Kanye.. you can criticize his behavior but not his music talent.. this is probably the best hip hop album ever.. it gives me every time so many fucking emotions.. god thank you Kanye..
+Pietro Corsi He can't sing for real or play an instrument... all he does is play a couple of notes in the piano (a monkey could do the same) and let the computer sing for him... he is not a musician
Talent? Are you guys fucking high?? Hitting 3 fucking keys with horrible emphasis is not a pianist. His singing is off at times, hes not as great as millions of unheard artists.
by hearing this song so many times, learning the lyrics, and making it my own after a while....thank you for that Kanye....its allows you/us to create the song that fits us in that moment.....genius!
When I first heard this song when it came out I wondered why with the auto tune verse, but then i realized it was just pure emotion, like when you're yelling stuff out loud and it's just noise that comes out.
Raymond Felton Kanye isn't just one type of artists, he does everything. People just pigeon-hole him into one category and then get upset when he doesn't fall into the scope of what people expect of him. If you're expecting the same genre from him every album, then you've misunderstood him. And yes, although I don't appreciate some of the things he's done/said publicly, he's a musical genius.
No one is really vocal about it on any of his videos. It's like a quarter of Eminem fans. Getting upset on how he changed. And half of the "Kanye" Fans. Saying how they hate him because he changed.
In my opinion this song is Kanye: Internal dialogue Pusha T: External dialogue So when you here those guys that are completely materialistic jerks that talk a bunch of smack and seem cold and invulnerable, inside they are dying and desperately trying to cover up their shortcomings.
i may disagree with him on many of his choices, comments and aspects of his life but i will never deny that Kanye West is a musical genius.

Kanye west is a music maestro. Didn't appreciate him much back then. But lately I've been listening to his songs and it touched my heart. KW was something else. Peak of music.
2024 and this song sounds like it got released just yesterday. Kanye was ahead of the curve. A masterpiece 🚀🚀🚀
The instrumental of this track is just emotionally terrifying; not only does it resemble a form of despair but with a tad bit anger down in it's core and I can't listen to it too often, because I get flashbacks. Great, great work, musically speaking.
Chill dude it’s 2 notes and a distortion
@@ragebaby8396 at the end of the day music is just sound but no matter how simple they can always invoke a response in people. So if this specific piece of music touches them, let it be.
@@michaelmaestas144 it's extremely soothing for me, but it also forces reflection, which can be terrifying for some people i guess.
You smoke crack much?
I didn't fully appreciate the hype behind his music until I heard the orchestral version of a bunch of his songs. It was then that I realized how complex and dramatic, emotional the musicality of his work is
Still one of the greatest songs of all time. Praying for you tonight Ye. ❤️🙏
👍
👍👍👍👍
He is a real one. Probably the only celebrity that can admit to his wrongs and humble his self. When you are that humble it doesn't matter what they take from you because you know there is a higher meaning to this life. When you have that spiritual Awakening nothing matters anymore you are just here to learn.
he was remarkable
Agree. Under rated and this video stinks of art.
I walk go walking everyday listening to this on full blast down by the river into nature and i feel the music come from everywhere and everything, amazing ❤
This version is amazing and doesn’t feel it’s as long as it is because every moment of it is mesmerising
The line "but I don't know how imma manage if one day you just up and leave" always gets me
This makes me sad, aggressive, chill, happy, passive, and grateful this is for sure Ye's best.
For sure!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
after 13 years and this song is still my favorite

WOW!
I know the feeling. Knew. Things are different now :D
U can blame me for everything
@@JFnostalgiaMy fav line ..
كعدي راحة حجية
Yup grandma 👵🏽 powerful line
9 years gone
Still, this artistic masterclass still turns on the tears' tab of my eyes.
Existing w Kanye is a pure blessing.
thank God for him
World wasn't ready for his greatness. This song is so good!
We miss the old kanye❤
The entirety of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was masterpiece after masterpiece. Every track was unique and special in its own way. Easily one of the best albums ever.
No rapper has an artistic vision like Kanye. He's the greatest hip hop artist in my opinion.
Kendrick
As you said just your opinion, Wu tang, El P, Aesop rock, gangstarr, 2pac and 100more artists better that this commercial product....(And its just my opinion, but I'm not the only one) ;)
He's definitely outside the typical box like ah boss
JO 7Z Is Kanye the commercial one? All his actions make him controversial. I would say the mainstream view now is to hate on Kanye. You may think he is commercial because of how profound his work is, but that may just be because he is a larger personality than all of the people you listed.
your an idiot for thinking kanye is special in any way open your eyes man
when that jawn said “you been puttin up wit my sHiSh just wat too long” i felt that
Beautiful Kanye Music ❤😢❤Loss of his Mom …. Everything changes fast.
say what you want about kanye, but this song is definitely a classic. It's the exact portrayal of a man who is able to admit his infidelity and lack of loyalty toward those that care about him (presumably an ex who once cared about him before becoming a self-centered dick). it's truly an anthem for guys willing to admit how shitty they've treated good girls in their pasts who deserved alot better.
let's have a toast.
Wow. You got so much wisdom
Chill dude it’s 2 notes and distortion
@@ragebaby8396 you're right mr downplay a classic to simplicity.
@@ragebaby8396 bruh you’re sad
Or guys that have been called.a.scumbag when they actually aren't because someone wanted to make them feel like shit and own them when they were in love.
10 years later, if you're watching this, you're a legend.
10 years later we're back in YEEZY SEASONNNN
im legend
My funeral walk in song still lol
@@Cursedchannel666wait so one of you people can tell me if my mind is abit shit but didnt they wear white outfits.???? thanks.
Well, watching the high before the fall.
2024 anybody
Forever 😂
A lot❤
Everyday
Yep
I’m always coming back here…
Ye is truly a musical genius!
“Let’s have a toast for the jerkoffs, that’ll never take work off” is my favorite line. We all know that one guy that makes work hell.
The last 3 minutes of this are brilliant
Yes they are.
I gét its. Because he's not singing....
No, it's cos that section is very good
Alex Botten Nah, it was almost briliant, if they removed Kanye West completely, then it would even be genious.
hung nguyen Lmao hating ass. Can't even spell genius right.
Kanye West is a GENIUS
"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas"
kanye west
4:40 This part of the song hits close to home. And ever since it first resonated with me, it can't go unnoticed. Beautifully written.
same
Right and maybe it's just be but i feel like this was heavy foreshadowing on him Kim ....
@@co0ki3M0NstAr it does sound like that. I’m sure he was also putting up with her 💩foe way to long also.
Just let it all out...Find a way to reach Closure...So you can rest...And just let it Go... I'm Here For You...💕
Kanye west: the perfect combintation between genius and idiocy. Never have i come across an artist with so much self awareness yet such a high amount if ignorance. Its great really
I'd say he's just speaking his mind and being honest, when other celebrities are afraid to do so and never do that.
I mean it's not like everything he says is nonsense, he often has good points.
Babe
You are a wise man
Someone who knows his highs knows his lows if he is psychologically intelligent
Miss this Kanye, hope he eventually finds his ground
He is, he’s blessed by the most high. Jesus.
@@robg951 So jesus is cool with hate and anti-semitism? Kanye has become a caricature, he's like Clayton Bigsby brought to life now. It's sad...
@@curiousjoel So much of what he says about jews are 100% correct. They do hold way to much power. Especially over the banks and hollywood.
@@chaotixskulls7051 except race/religion has nothing to do with it, the only reason to bring that into the equation is for racist/anti-semitic reasons.
People in power work to amass power, this isn't exclusive to any one religion or race, so going after the folks who have power in Hollywood because they are Jewish is textbook racism/anti-Semitism.
@@curiousjoel Yes.
Till this day, this man's art is still top notch. Love
There's not much denying his talent, no matter how crazy he might be. This is pure gold as far as music goes.
God delivered him bro
i just thought the same damn thing. ten years later this song still hits different!
Facts
Damn right. This album is pure genius that doesn't stop.
When celebrities try to do right then they are called crazy ...he is not Crazy.Gods child ..
This is, and will forever remain One of the greatest songs ever made! Almost a decade and still gives me the chills
xo xo applashh
After a long 12hr shift. I was feeling this song to the core. On repeat
It's my favourite song of all time.
You know it’s a masterpiece when the entire song is the most replayed. Praise the Lord, thank you for your music Ye
Balet and Hip-Hop go so well together ❤️
This wasn't necessarily just hip hop
@@tumisoramonetha7423 it was but it becomes experimental when you incorporate non traditional instruments.
I never understood the music video until I started watching it everyday after a bad breakup, and seeing how it's in the middle of a pandemic, it really has me sitting here with my thoughts. For me, this is a story about a guy who is well liked and received: Popular, accredited, accomplished. Yet, he gets up from all of this, him leaving the table, to point out to everyone in the room, something that is wrong. He starts to play a piano, and suddenly these women start to run out and start dancing. Now, I see it as he is playing a tune that he expects women he selects to be his partner to dance to, and he expects them to dance well. The tune being the relationship. And there are lots of them, and they all have beautiful and different styles to them that bring something different to the tune he is making them perform to. And then he stops playing the tune, and tries to tell them to run, because he is recognizing his own shit, and that is when he climbs on top of the piano. But they keep dancing. And then the song goes on, and at the end, the coded verse only he knows, meaning its his own failure to communicate to either the women who have been in his life, or the people he is trying to warn, like at the table, of his own issues. And all the while, as the up close shots are happening in this time, he is haunted at the memories of the women who tried so hard to be with him and get him to communicate and be healthy. And at the end, when the tune is finished, and they leave, there is applause; by the very people he tried to show his own problems. Now I don't know what that is about, but maybe it's about a group of people who enable him to continue in his ways because it doesn't affect them nor bother them so long as they are at his table. Just my thoughts, feel free to express your own if you feel the need.
Wow!!! That's the BEST interpretation of a song I ever read/heard !! Are you a musician/writer 👍
Badassed interpretation 👍
It hurts but it's real
I think you're right... Incredibly perceptive
Wow. This is insightful
Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know it did damage
'Cause the look in your eyes is killin' me
I guessin' you're at an advantage
'Cause you could blame me for everything
And I don't know where I'ma manage
If one day you just up and leave
Shit hits.
S/O Too Kim God Bless Her She Really Tried She Love Him That's Why she giving up The show💔
And she left.
Hard part
@@brianmalloy8328 he left
It's 2022, and I'm just now finding this song! Wtf! ❤️. Reminds me of a young rapping Ray Charles.
This is a class act.
Song, music, video and all.
A class act.
When he climbs on that piano there is something in the expression of his face that cuts deep to the bone.
When he get's on the piano you can feel all the emotions through his actions.. With that being said, this song helps me through so many different heart breaks and issues that no person could ever relieve me of. It's a strong and passionate song that has so much truth behind the lyrics. I wish I could personally thank Kanye for this work of art.
Raquelle Kochel i know that feeling
hannah uhzv fjigdfhhxdyueeuwhdu Yeah v.
I don t understand it one bit
This is the second time i m listening to a Kanye Song
Raquelle Kochel you are so right pure art heals and we all should be grateful for blessed by 'gods touch' artists as Kanye West is!
Its helpin me through some heartbreak shit right now. I just make sure to hit next when blame game comes on
It's amazing how so many of us are addicted to pain.
***** Sorry, it's just what I feel like I'm seeing out there in the world.
"They were born, they suffered, they died"(Anatole France) other say that only sure thing in ouer life is moment when death comes to us. So pain can be given by nature, other people or we can feel fear of existence, what can harm a lot. Tradition gives no more recipe how to live, society is cruel, we are left alone with ouer choices. Its not somehow addiction to pain, its fear of unknown, i think. Death can be as a joke in a movie but its real and somehow maybe its not an end but the door to new beginning...
Everyone with something wrong with them must be addicted to something, right?
Robert King Better the Devil you know, than angel you don't.... right?!! ☺️☺️💔
@@ilikevines sad 😔
Don't worry your not the only one listening to this master piece in 2022
this is just genius. all of it. heart goes out.

This is a good song.
True
*obligatory argument starting comment*
+First Last enraged fan of artist in video coming to defend their honor
+Zach advertisement for making shitloads of money from home.
+Joshua Burns Up and starting rap artist claiming you will like my music if you listen to Kanye West and begging for you to give me a single view.
Kanye West is the best thing that happened to the art and music world this century. He is the only thing we have to show for, all this technology and yet the art and music world keep going backwards and get worse and worse, he is the only forward step we have to show for. Thank you for giving it a try Kanye
still ahead of it's time . i don't even know if music has caught up to this one yet
C'mon how can someone dislike this song? It's pure music art.. which hip hopper or rapper do dat now? No one, no one can be compared to Kanye.. you can criticize his behavior but not his music talent.. this is probably the best hip hop album ever.. it gives me every time so many fucking emotions.. god thank you Kanye..
+Pietro Corsi He can't sing for real or play an instrument... all he does is play a couple of notes in the piano (a monkey could do the same) and let the computer sing for him... he is not a musician
agree pietro corsi
Talent? Are you guys fucking high?? Hitting 3 fucking keys with horrible emphasis is not a pianist. His singing is off at times, hes not as great as millions of unheard artists.
+Michael Little Thunder It's one of the greatest hip hop abums of all time. Every hip hop artists or critics agrees with it.
+Carlos Andrés Román You know nothing about hiphop
Those dancers are so incredible. Their skill is magic.
by hearing this song so many times, learning the lyrics, and making it my own after a while....thank you for that Kanye....its allows you/us to create the song that fits us in that moment.....genius!
6:26 not Kanye blowing into the auto tune mic 🎤💀
Was the song crying at the end? bro wtf kanye you fucking genius. Good song.
The transition from Yeezy to Yeezus.
Hgfuguuhuguuguygiguugiyuuhug Yi ugyygut
Blasphemy
Nigel Jenkins yep
@Karlyn Pinson I disagree he never stopped giving praise to Jesus Christ those who have sold there souls don't speak the word of GOD
2023 this song is still one of my favorites of all time and will probably always be.... Thanks Ye, wherever you are
Kanye west is purely a genuis
I will still comment this every now and then, THIS IS THE THE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY OF RAP.
You're so right
damnnn. Trueeee!
This is its own entity. Way different.
Facts brudda
What about Sicko Mode
When I first heard this song when it came out I wondered why with the auto tune verse, but then i realized it was just pure emotion, like when you're yelling stuff out loud and it's just noise that comes out.
I will never stop loving Kanye.
This song is SO DOPE and Kanye being a genius would be an understatement. He is a LIVING LEGEND.💪
I love how no one complains about how Eminem changed, but freak out about how Kanye "Changed"
Mte
Raymond Felton Lot of people dislike eminems change. He hasn't really been outstanding since The Marshal mathers LP
Raymond Felton Kanye isn't just one type of artists, he does everything. People just pigeon-hole him into one category and then get upset when he doesn't fall into the scope of what people expect of him. If you're expecting the same genre from him every album, then you've misunderstood him. And yes, although I don't appreciate some of the things he's done/said publicly, he's a musical genius.
Raymond Felton what are you talking about? thousands of dumbasses complain about eminem changing
No one is really vocal about it on any of his videos. It's like a quarter of Eminem fans. Getting upset on how he changed. And half of the "Kanye" Fans. Saying how they hate him because he changed.
In my opinion this song is
Kanye: Internal dialogue
Pusha T: External dialogue
So when you here those guys that are completely materialistic jerks that talk a bunch of smack and seem cold and invulnerable, inside they are dying and desperately trying to cover up their shortcomings.
He's right. Run away from this promise of Fame
Still here absolutely enjoying every sounds, every lyrics and every choreograph ! Awesome!
Who tf listening Kanye in 2023? All school ganstas on Gomunkul 6 now #
