he an artist, he emotional and sensitiv....he wants to prove himself to the world....problem he already way bigger than he realizes Good luck yeezy...get well and be yourself.....fuck the rest cause u one o the best

The fact that Chris of all people collaborated with Kanye is just amazing, it's a clear example of how two people from different genres can make a masterpiece.
This is in my opinion, Kanye’s best work. The storytelling, the hard lyrics, but most of all Chris Martin’s feature. Dude’s voice is actually angelic. I could listen to “baby do you remember when, fireworks at lake michigan?” for hours

He completely revolutionised music and made it what we know today, without 808s there would be none of the popular auto tuning. Listen to through the wire ffs watch a video explaining how it was made
I joined the military and was gone from home for 10 years. I relied on this song to make it back home and be with my friends and family. This song was my lifeline. I got out of the military and my family and friends were different. I came home but my home wasn't there. Listening to this song is like sitting in the past and I remember the good times. I wish I never joined so that I could have held onto what made me feel whole-family and friends. Now, I use the music that was out when I joined to remember the past. It gives me goosebumps. I wish things were the way they were before but time moves on.
I left home a few months ago, this song passed my mind as what I'm gonna listen to on the plane/train home knowing I'm going home to start something new, and start something again (school)
The music and film industries are under the rule of lucifer, who is the master of masonry club. Think about it, all their HITS are about lust and fornication and being stressed and depressed, wanting to be done by “life”. None of them has meaning in their music.
“Do you think about me now and then” this part hit hard for me, I transferred schools for highschool I always think about if my friends from before thought about me after I left and transferred I took the harsh reality and that no one will remember me. “Maybe we Can start again” I always thought the ups and downs of transferring like I could start again but yet I couldn’t forget the memories in the back of my mind. This song has a special place in my heart from Ye’s quotes in the song and Chris martins quotes too
Don't even get me wrong, Drizzy could spit...only haters gonna deny that shit but when it comes to you really feeling the lyrics and identifying with his pain from his passion, that's what Yeezy does. They basically both talented in their own unique ways with certain strenghts and weaknesses.
i hope his kids can look past his behaviour over the past few years and see what he has actually achieved with his music. he was one of the best in the history of hip hop
I am sad, sad for whats happening right now but at the same time extremely grateful for this man's existence, he is a genius a virtuoso and a master of his craft who gave me so many good memories through his art, I will always be greatful to you for your music and will always respect as creator and a musician Thank you Kanye
Joao Vitor Costa oh yeah dude, totally. Being born in a place where there are constant shootings and lots of gang violence along with extreme poverty is not bad at all
So many people complain about how much of a "rude, disrespectful, and outrageous" person Kanye West is, but at the end of the day, the man is completely talented with what he does. He makes true art, and although he may be very opinionated, aren't we all? I give him so much respect for his hustle. I hope one day I can inspire the world with my music the way Kanye continues to do each day. Feel free to give my songs a listen, if you like what you hear, that's all that really matters to me.
BigPun Forever That's awesome though, I'll take that as a compliment because rappers in the East Coast don't play when it comes to lyricism! Lol thanks!
Its been about maybe 6 months since ive been a kanye fan and hes the best rapper ive ever heard, his songs and lyrics have helped and inspired me so much i honestly feel uplifted when i hear them, i mainly focus on his good songs which is difficult since there are so many, kanye has helped me in so many ways, just to hear the instrumental of god is or the opening to father streh my hands, kanye is a rapper like no other.

Every man black/white/hispanic/asian/etc should have that soul-sealed connection with his mother. No it doesn't make him a "mama's boy" or anything to that effect, it teaches him class/respect for women/ not to mention how she envisions a good man.
Opinions are like taste buds, they differ between people. Pablo is trash and this song is on many Top 10 kanye lists (I've seen it on at least 3). Homecoming is the best Kanye song ever made, and considering his last two albums, it always will be.
+Weaksauceization Aren't you contradicting yourself by saying opinions differ between people to go on and say Homecoming is the best Ye song ever made?
Weaksauceization It's not even top 10 if you're an avid Kanye listener who has listened to every album he has made. I can name 10 Kanye songs way better than this song off the top of my head. Graduation is not even Kanye's best album, it's actually his most commercial. Heard Em' Say, Late, Devil In A New Dress, Runaway, Lost In The World, Through The Wire, Gorgeous, Gone, Welcome To Heartbreak, We Major. Are all better than Homecoming lmfao. This is not a top 10 but all these songs are better than Homecoming.
youtube and VEVO in 2009, had a high priority of censoring music videos. It was never up to the artists. It was all part of being on a record label and UA-cam
Back in the days like 2006/7 banging this loud drinking never forget. Old friend died not too long ago and he said to me after rapping along to this album, you should be a rapper. Now he’s gone I feel like if I don’t get up and do it he won’t forgive me.
Kanye wakes up from his Kanye Rest. He gets Kanye Dressed to look his Kanye Best. He brushes his teeth with Kanye Crest, and bumps into his neighbor the Kanye Pest. Kanye goes to his church to get Kanye Blessed. The End.
Kanye I don't know if you ever ready comments on your content but I hope you read this. You're music along with DMX and Jay Z's kept me going in the worst times of my life. Depressed, suicidal, seeing no future, to now as a very successful professional teacher abroad. Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm grateful for all I have and for all who helped me in my life. Thank you Kanye. Much love my brother. May you forever be blessed.
When I listen to this after many years you realize how hard Kanye was repping his city his culture and his country He is a musical god an undeniable icon an I’m realiazin it even more now listen back Respect Kanye
@@mastakilla_2k218 when I first heard the song I was too young to comprehend, the older I got I started listening to the song and not the lyrics, it's only now when I listen to the lyrics and realised
I'm a big Coldplay fan and I'm also a fan of Kanye West. This song is a real gem. Graduation is one of my best Kanye's album. Kanye wanted stadium status like Coldplay and he got it. He's phenomenal.
***** Fine. Lets take this into consideration. And i expect a valid rebuttal or else i will not reply. Kanye changed hip-hop. He has 6 of the most acclaimed albums ever released (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is regarded the best album of the 2010's so far). Lets not ignore the fact that he has 21 Grammy awards. His albums have been well received by legendary musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, Bono, Bruno Mars, Nas, Elton John, and even Obama (despite his Jackass comment referring to Kanye). The list goes on but i'll stop there. He changes his style on every single album of his. He began with soul sampling on his first album, to a baroque approach on his second album, then he incorporated electro/disco in his third..... all the way to his most recent album Yeezus, which was industrial hip-hop. He can mix genres, sample without difficulty, and is a VERY creative artist, who is overlooked because of his childlike antics. I feel you haven't listened to his music and hate because you do what the other brainwashed sheep do. But there i proved your point wrong.
***** not this song though you fucking idiot. And not any Kanye song talks about women in a demeaning way. Listen to his first 2 albums for more insight.
+LUKE ANDERϟϟON I could say the same thing about any type of music. All metal music is satanic All country music is about tractors All classic rock is about sex and drugs. All rock and roll is about being rebellious. And especially buttrock See how easy it is? Just because an artist is in a genre like Kanye doesn't mean he has no artistic value.
You are not alone, some people can not split the persona from his music, for me he is a true Genius Álbum after album, the Best music i have heard on a long time
I'm coming home again. Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again. [Verse 1 - Kanye West] I met this girl when I was three years old And what I loved most she had so much soul She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but, My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and, From that point I never blow her off, They can come from outta town I like to show her off, They like to act tough, she like to tow em off, And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding And I told her in my heart is where she always be She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave She said it felt like they walked and drove on me Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again [Verse 2 - Kanye West] But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport, To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her It always seems like she talking about me, She said you left your kids and they just like you They wanna rap and make show beats just like you, But they just not you and I just got through Talking bout what she can try to do just not new Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong I guess you never know what you got till its gone I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home And guess when I heard that when I was back home Every interview I'm representing you making you proud Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around, And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chi Town, [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again I'm in home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Maybe we can start again
There is a thin line between genius and insanity, very creative people will often seem irrational at times, Kanye has made some of the best music of our generation. College dropout is still my top 3 all time albums.
Kanye caught a lot of flak for bringing Chris Martin (British dude) on a song about Chicago, but I always thought it was a valid, deliberate stylistic choice. This song isn't just a love letter to Chicago--it's a song about Kanye's changing relationship to Chicago after he's become a famous, world-touring artist. If you've ever returned to your hometown after a long absence and a bunch of new life experiences, you do end up feeling like a foreigner in some ways.That outsider feeling is what Ye is trying to convey by having his inner voice of yearning for home be performed by a guy with a British accent. "Homecoming" is actually a pretty bittersweet song in that regard, because it acknowledges that while Chi is Ye's home, it will never fully be his home again. There will always be a part of him that feels foreign to it.
***** but his music isn't actually that popular. His older shit (from his first 3-4 albums) got heavy airplay and sales, but ever since, his stuff has been popular every now and then. And his best album was one of his lesser selling albums.
I hate to be the Stan but the greatest is Eminem. Some of Kanyes work has been brilliant but Eminem has far more consistency. He has far more technical ability and manages to create relatively simple emotive songs. Halies Song, Beautiful and When I'm gone for example.
I'm currently working in Dallas,Texas I visited my hometown for the first time in 3 years this summer and I'm glad that I was listening to this beautiful song while flying to my country where my ex lives. I met up with her and a couple of my friends and this summer was truly fun for me . And the next time I visit will probably be in 2025 . This song is very nostalgic me for me .

Heard Em' Say, Late, Devil In A New Dress, Runaway, Lost In The World, Through The Wire, Gorgeous, Gone, Welcome To Heartbreak, We Major. Are all better than Homecoming lmfao. This is not a top 10 but all these songs are better than Homecoming.
OMG this is one of my very favorite Kanye West songs. Along with heartless, flashing words, Jesus walks, and so many more.
the beat to this song is so good i can’t explain it
Glad I've gotten to experience one of the best artist of all time
me too
I agree, Chris Martin is a Great artist!
Bro?
fr glad to be alive same time as yeat 🙏🔥
Unfortunately he throwed his carrer in the trash
the censoring on this video is beyond absurd....really you're gonna censor "go downtown"
Seriously that made me mad like what the fuck???? there is no way a 6 year old will figure out the hidden meaning.
Or, "I like to blow trees". That had a double meaning, it could have stayed in the censored version.
youtube and VEVO in 2009, had a high priority of censoring music videos. It was never up to the artists. It was all part of being on a record label and UA-cam
mericaaaa
@@Klos1neMN And the meaning in this song isnt even meant to understood in a sexual way.
They call Kanye Crazy
I call Kanye a genius
This is beautiful music
One of the most upbeat songs EVER.
I don't miss the Old Kanye I miss the 11 year-old me 💔.
Never stop feeling that time ❤️❤️❤️if it was happy, keep that in your heart forever and a day ❤️🙂
Truth!
Take this "W"
avuyile ncaphayi oop that hit 😂
@@angelahill7755 Hes always been will always be the same kanye, dont delude yourself
Damn the comment section is filled with people that just discovered the song or just realized how good he is
That's a good thing; some of the best things in life are those that grow on you, nostalgia inducing - they get better with time like fine wine.
Imagine in 10+ years. The youth that grew up learning that he’s “crazy” today due to the media finds out he’s an actual musical genius
Disgusting fr
Liked him back then to this day ... Jesus walks was like a song from heaven
That would be me lol.
After his mom died. He wasn't the same artist. Could have been one of the greats
My favorite Kanye West I want this played at my funeral 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾⚰️
After 11 years since this song had been released Im just realising that Chris Martin from Coldplay is on the piano.
Who did you think it was before
Probably John Mayer lmao
Lol it’s a little funny how on the album this song is right before Big Brother where he talks about jayz copying his Coldplay feature
sucks
This song was actually released in 2007, thats 14 years ago,not 11.
Cant lie, Chris Martin freaked tf outta the hook.
Sativa Seeds TV he really went off
Chris is 👌👌👌👌
He did... I fast forward to his part 🙈.. when he says "Oh" 😍
He gave so much life it makes u want to move there ... even just go back to ya home
My favorite part is when Chris Martin sings🎤🎶and the music👌 Great song!
Back in the days like 2006/7 banging this loud drinking never forget. Old friend died not too long ago and he said to me after rapping along to this album, you should be a rapper. Now he’s gone I feel like if I don’t get up and do it he won’t forgive me.
I wasn’t really into Kanye but I decided to try this one since it had Coldplay in it. Let’s just say this is now my favourite song in the world ❤😂
Kanye wakes up from his Kanye Rest. He gets Kanye Dressed to look his Kanye Best. He brushes his teeth with Kanye Crest, and bumps into his neighbor the Kanye Pest. Kanye goes to his church to get Kanye Blessed. The End.
Plus after what happened with Tyler Smith, He showed he has flexibility in his Music, Every now & then a Artist will do that.
True that! Kanye4Life
BRUH this shyt goes hard good shit.
Thanks!xD #peace
Haha were can I buy kanye crest
Ye wrote a whole Chi-Town anthem and people didn't realize it they need to play this in the Chicago airport as soon as u land
Ohare
Just listen to it on the plane when you’re landing. It’s just as good.
Great point
Hell yea they do
Not O'Hare Midway...Southside
Idc what anyone says, this is one of Kanye’s best songs ever along side Flashing Lights, Heartless, Good Life, Touch the Sky, and Slow Jamz.
Kanye I don't know if you ever ready comments on your content but I hope you read this. You're music along with DMX and Jay Z's kept me going in the worst times of my life. Depressed, suicidal, seeing no future, to now as a very successful professional teacher abroad. Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm grateful for all I have and for all who helped me in my life. Thank you Kanye. Much love my brother. May you forever be blessed.
this is wonderful :)
Awesome
This brought me tears I know how you feel ❤️
khanye west it bring back memories
hey it's kanye, thanks philip
One word for this song is
Nostalgia
Agreed
Man I miss the old Kanye
Precisely
word. i heard it in a Shorts and the memories flooded back
When I listen to this after many years you realize how hard Kanye was repping his city his culture and his country
He is a musical god an undeniable icon an I’m realiazin it even more now listen back
Respect Kanye
I've listened to this song for 12 years and it only hit me now that the girl he met when he was 3 years old is his hometown Chicago. fuuck
"if you don't know by now I'm talkin bout Chi-town"
You clearly weren't listening to the lyrics lol
@@mastakilla_2k218 when I first heard the song I was too young to comprehend, the older I got I started listening to the song and not the lyrics, it's only now when I listen to the lyrics and realised
Its mental because his daughter is now named that
@@kiddietimetv6401 she’s named after chicago because it’s his home
😂😂😭Ur trolling, no way
I'm a big Coldplay fan and I'm also a fan of Kanye West. This song is a real gem. Graduation is one of my best Kanye's album. Kanye wanted stadium status like Coldplay and he got it. He's phenomenal.
kanye better
@@Brandonriot 🤡
@@Brandonriotbruh
This is a classic. I have to play this from time to time. It takes back to my childhood a bit. Treat everybody like you want to be treated.
this song is one of my favorites of kanye... i just love the vibe.. its too good.
One of my favorite artists no matter what his struggles are he can communicate his feelings through music and affect everyone with it
he speaks the truth. you have access to unlimited information in the internet age. there is no excuse for ignorance anymore
This so good is at the end you knew what he was speaking of
@@steviechampagne facts get you canceled

STOP CENSORING ART! FUCKING VEVO!

+Chase Ramos art can be applied to a shit-ton of things. its not just painting.
+Chase Ramos You're a basic bitch lol.
+Chase Ramos never heard the term music artist?
he means you're so simple minded you retort to trolling once you reaize you're wrong
Kanye you saved me from suicidal thoughts and depression. You left me Jesus Thank you, I love you so much.🙏❤️
Chris Martin absolutely smashing it!
God, this gives me chills every time I hear it. How can you listen to this and not admit he's talented.
TimmiT 1,2, maybe we can starrt again..He is quite so
***** Fine. Lets take this into consideration. And i expect a valid rebuttal or else i will not reply.
Kanye changed hip-hop. He has 6 of the most acclaimed albums ever released (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is regarded the best album of the 2010's so far). Lets not ignore the fact that he has 21 Grammy awards.
His albums have been well received by legendary musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, Bono, Bruno Mars, Nas, Elton John, and even Obama (despite his Jackass comment referring to Kanye). The list goes on but i'll stop there.
He changes his style on every single album of his. He began with soul sampling on his first album, to a baroque approach on his second album, then he incorporated electro/disco in his third..... all the way to his most recent album Yeezus, which was industrial hip-hop. He can mix genres, sample without difficulty, and is a VERY creative artist, who is overlooked because of his childlike antics.
I feel you haven't listened to his music and hate because you do what the other brainwashed sheep do. But there i proved your point wrong.
***** not this song though you fucking idiot. And not any Kanye song talks about women in a demeaning way. Listen to his first 2 albums for more insight.
+LUKE ANDERϟϟON I could say the same thing about any type of music.
All metal music is satanic
All country music is about tractors
All classic rock is about sex and drugs.
All rock and roll is about being rebellious. And especially buttrock
See how easy it is? Just because an artist is in a genre like Kanye doesn't mean he has no artistic value.
+LUKE ANDERϟϟON its trash!!
hiphop rules!
Personally, Kanye is one of the greatest artist of all time. In sense of music, design and everything, so a ARTIST
Truest shit spit on this website
You are not alone, some people can not split the persona from his music, for me he is a true Genius
Álbum after album, the Best music i have heard on a long time
I hate Kanye west now because of you
The Bowie of our generation
your pfp just brought me back bro i havent seen annoying orange in like 6 years but your speaking facts
Reach for the stars✨ so if you
Fall you land on the clouds☁️
2024 anyone ?
I'm coming home again.
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I'm coming home again
I'm in home again.
[Verse 1 - Kanye West]
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but,
My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and,
From that point I never blow her off,
They can come from outta town I like to show her off,
They like to act tough, she like to tow em off,
And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft
And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding
And I told her in my heart is where she always be
She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave
She said it felt like they walked and drove on me
Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me
I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me
She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me
[Chorus - Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I'm coming home again
I'm in home again
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Oh, now I'm coming home again
Maybe we can start again
[Verse 2 - Kanye West]
But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport,
To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her
It always seems like she talking about me,
She said you left your kids and they just like you
They wanna rap and make show beats just like you,
But they just not you and I just got through
Talking bout what she can try to do just not new
Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong
I guess you never know what you got till its gone
I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home
And guess when I heard that when I was back home
Every interview I'm representing you making you proud
Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud
Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around,
And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chi Town,
[Chorus - Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I'm coming home again
Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan
Oh, now I'm coming home again
I'm in home again
Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan
Oh, now I'm coming home again
Maybe we can start again
Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh
Coming home again
Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh
Coming home again
Maybe we can start again
Thanks bro
Spent a lot of time searching for the lyrics commet XD
Youre a real G brother!
finally found the lyrics. thanks
There is a thin line between genius and insanity, very creative people will often seem irrational at times, Kanye has made some of the best music of our generation. College dropout is still my top 3 all time albums.
100% agree.
Soo on point
For sure
This 1 single song maybe gold digger
This song is not from college dropout it's from graduation
I love this song, I've wanted to go back to my home in Chicago after my parents moved but I'm going back in August
Kayne is timeless
ThoDbb baby you boy
100 percent ❤
Not one of his songs feels dated!
Kanye is a legend
Yes
Kanye caught a lot of flak for bringing Chris Martin (British dude) on a song about Chicago, but I always thought it was a valid, deliberate stylistic choice. This song isn't just a love letter to Chicago--it's a song about Kanye's changing relationship to Chicago after he's become a famous, world-touring artist. If you've ever returned to your hometown after a long absence and a bunch of new life experiences, you do end up feeling like a foreigner in some ways.That outsider feeling is what Ye is trying to convey by having his inner voice of yearning for home be performed by a guy with a British accent. "Homecoming" is actually a pretty bittersweet song in that regard, because it acknowledges that while Chi is Ye's home, it will never fully be his home again. There will always be a part of him that feels foreign to it.
Well said! Wonderful comment!
que sabroso escuchar este tema desde la hermosa Chicago!!!
It’s crazy how this song released 14 years ago but it still hits today. 9 Grammies is crazy Kanye=
GOAT
👇
Miss this Kanye :(
Shut the fuck up.
***** no they wont
***** chill your a little reject who no one loves
***** Why are you in the comments trolling away? Get a life.
***** but his music isn't actually that popular. His older shit (from his first 3-4 albums) got heavy airplay and sales, but ever since, his stuff has been popular every now and then. And his best album was one of his lesser selling albums.
Damn, I miss the old Kanye...
PookieBern :) back when he didnt really talk about drugs sex etc
+DJ CapriSun i was actually referring to the song "I Love Kanye" 😂
PookieBern :) I said the same thing when I herd this song today
...Straight from the go Kanye
Me to. Dam shame.
This is sure an underrated listen from the album.
Kanye I know you won’t see this but you are amazing keep making amazing music like this!
Anyone else here got stuck with "old Kanye songs" loop?
+Luka M ja tebra
+Luka M new and old
ME
lol ive been stuck in this loop for 2 months
yep!
I honestly think kanye is the greatest rapper of all time. He puts in so much creativity in his music that makes it so special.
Nope kendrick takes that one
@@brayden141 Agreed
You not alone
Kanye has a very wide variety of songs. None of them are alike
I hate to be the Stan but the greatest is Eminem. Some of Kanyes work has been brilliant but Eminem has far more consistency. He has far more technical ability and manages to create relatively simple emotive songs. Halies Song, Beautiful and When I'm gone for example.
Kanye’s music back then use to speak directly to my soul
I'm currently working in Dallas,Texas I visited my hometown for the first time in 3 years this summer and I'm glad that I was listening to this beautiful song while flying to my country where my ex lives. I met up with her and a couple of my friends and this summer was truly fun for me . And the next time I visit will probably be in 2025 . This song is very nostalgic me for me .
