Kanye is the EPITOME of the saying “there’s a fine line between brilliance & insanity”
As that one line in pirates of the carribean goes
"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide"
Exactly
Literally. A very thin line.
And right now he’s closer to being insane
You kanye fan gays are so unbelievably cringe
This shows you how spiritual Kanye takes music. It’s not just about making a dope beat and recording dope verses. It’s deeper than that. You have to live the music you’re making.
That’s true
Soul is what makes peeps create phenomenal music alot of soul been stripped away and these new rappers many dont have it
Oo
O
Oo
As a massive Kanye fan this video was a lot of fun to make. To see how he’s always known exactly where he would be and what he would do is inspirational. Glad you guys are enjoying. Who should we cover next?
Can I send you some of my poetry? I've been Empowering Women and Inspiring Men for almost 14 years now.

@@eyezzsodrppy7124 Thank you
Lil Wayne
Great job with this bro
I think he's one of the greatest musical minds of the 21st century. His process, vision, and just overall way of how he thinks is just fascinating. I absolutely hate that people are now using his controversies and disliked public persona to try and discredit his musical genius, because if there's one thing that should never be questioned, it's his musical prowess imo.
I feel the same way about R. Kelly
Ye ur great, I love you. 🧘♂️ pressure out, it's not a perfect world.
you're a source, let it self do the job.
20th century
@@TSMELIXXA they're both really annoying though. Kelly and Kanye
He’s one of the greatest minds of the 21st century! You’re not wrong though
Nicki’s verse on Monster is hands down the greatest female rap performance I’ve ever heard. She absolutely killed it and shocked me when I first heard it. She wiped the floor with everyone else on the track
Hell yeah it was killer
💯
Lauryn Hill on Ready Or Not is the best female verse I've ever heard and Nicki isn't even close. Her and Ye did have the best verses on that track though for sure.
@@SpaceshipCoop Yeah Lauryn Hill forever the goat but Nicki deffo killed that
And just think that was early in her career. Nicki Minaj has men excited about many different verses of hers.. To grab a male artist or men in general, especially in Rap... she's Mos Def the QUEEN!!
he is still hungry for success at 42 years as he was at 17 years...... that to me is why this man is so fascinating!
And he’s 45 now in ‘22. Ye getting Wagyu. 🥩 🎯
Thank you.....give Ye his flowers now, i hate how people use his controversial situations to discredit his contribution to the culture
He's just somebody that's unwell and it's in the public eye. I love him for everything he's given us and nothing can change that. I just want him healthy. Body and mind.
fr
Ye is incredibly skilled at what he does. He is a catalyst, a composer and has the ability to get the best out of artists
Nah he Cray 😜
They could never
Great job putting this together. I’ve seen all of these videos in different places, but it’s even more valuable as one piece. Your effort will go mostly unnoticed, but I see you guys!
Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
@@hiphopdx loved it!
@@Svetz17 I realized after leaving my comment that you were the one that put your blood, sweat, and tears into this product. I checked out your story, and your journey has been similar to mine with music. I can tell that this was more than just a regular video for you. You truly cared. Thank you for the hours of effort, bro! Keep pouring your heart out through your work! You deserve a raise!
Great work Thank You!! 💖💖2022💖💖
I still crack up seeing Soulja boy’s reaction to ye saying his verse was wack lol.
LMAO so funny
it's crazy hearing Chris Rock describe the room like that, bc every time I listen to that album I really feel like an executive/successful/wealthy. it's absolutely beautiful how well Kanye's vision and his studio sessions translate to the listener experience. I felt the same with Donda, the whole album was so deeply moving for me. I started praying more and more and started to find more value in the simple things after that album. Donda has had such an amazing influence on me these past few months. I haven't listened to it all the way through too many times, but just the energy and the vocals about family, God, and love are so powerful.
I fell asleep legit 2nd song onto donda tried again and skipped 16 songs after min
It took me 2 months to get through Donda, before all the additions. I spent about a week each on Off The Grid, Hurricane, and like 4 on Remote Control. This will only be appreciated by people who appreciates it. Thats all I can say, but I loved the album in its first release.
@@MarvaLuss1 remote control is ASS... to me.
No wonder pusha t's runaway verse is one of the Best of the decade...damn!!..push had to write 4x.
I agree. When you listen to the words in the verse you can really get that he was a douchebag and asshole in the relationship. The verse really came off as heartless. Really well written.
I will never not click on a video about how Kanye makes his music.
We are simple people hehehe...we see Kanye, we like, subscribe and play
Chance the rapper is still recovering to this day
LOL
Lol
Chance getting lazy with his career, he needs some more yelling.
@@good-tn9sr he can stay lazy is music is trash
I would have loved to see all of the lights studio sesh!!
Same
I Swear!!!!
Ikr.. I didn't realize the chorus was Alicia, Drake, and so on.. wow!! Mind blown!
@@nicolamommacita9420 Drake was left off.
All i can say is Kanye is a genius. And Don Jazzy is a Nigerian and one of the biggest producers in Africa who owns a record label called Mavins. Now i see why he left good music. It must have been werid for him, because he was one of the biggest celebrities in Africa but kanye treated him like he was nobody by locking him up in one small room to make beats for him.
Made everyone rewrite their verses, must've been hard given thier star power....
But man, Nicki, Push and Ross must forever feel grateful for it, because they really delivered...
Fivio too
I truly think that Rick Ross's verse on Devil In A New Dress is one of the greatest feature apparences of all time.
Kanye just being kanye.. I couldn't imagine a world without him
this was soooo dope. thank you for creating this
Thanks for watching!
The whole 'Making them do a verse multiple times' or 'Songs not coming out' is very reminiscent of what people have said about Dr Dre. The bar to perfection and brilliance is so high, that a great producer knows when something is and isn't a hit.
I agree but Dre is such that it doesn't even come out.
Dr dre and too short story
🙄 Dre has put out less than a handful of his solo albums. Too $hort has put out more than 20 solo albums. Not the same at all. Js
can you imagine being in a studio with ye, my god would be incredible
This was beautifully put together.
Monster is without a doubt 1 of her best verses ever .
we need more videos like this. hella inspirational
More to come!
Nice to see some love for Ye from any sort of media right now. Dude is getting shit on everywhere. Love this!
Damn as a Kanye fan this was so beautiful to watch. The master of manifestation. He manifested everything he spoke on into existence. Kanye is genius. I would have loved to see the Graduation sessions. Kanye is the G.O.A.T. let's give him his flowers while he's still with us.
Kanye is a brilliant composer. He directs the energy to drive the vision sonically. He’s wired differently but it’s really a beautiful thing.
There will never be another Michael Jackson, Prince, Frank Sinatra, Elvis and with that being said there will never be another Ye. He is and will go down as the greatest Creative of his generation.
Very inspirational piece, thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for watching
fun fact, he ended up not using the drum sounds timbo gave him for the final mix of stronger. The song's production process was arduous, with West and his team mixing the track reportedly over 75 times, including after its release as a single.
Stronger being his most streamed song on every platform is the testament of the effort that was put for the song in the studio
One of the best production/music industry videos I've seen in a while!
The best part of this was seeing big draco watching ye tell why his verse ain't on the song seeing him react to it makes it that much funnier 😂 😂 😂
Ay that one 😂😂😂😂
What's the one Kanye song you would have loved to have been in the room for while they were recording it? Watch our deep dive into MBDTF here: ua-cam.com/video/IHO8VKYc9B4/v-deo.html
stronger
Dark fantasy
Bound 2
Drive slow or WE MAJOR
Probably WE MAJOR tho
All fall down
Never say no to ye, never say ye he cant do it..
Ye will be motivated as ever..
This man do it before, he will do it again.
Ye brought back that FEEL to Hip Hop. Things got technical in the late 90s in the mainstream, and Ye switched up the vibe by bringing the FEEL (Soul) back in the music.
Really loved helping produce and research for this video. The research was super fun and felt like I was on my Nardwuar lol. Looking forward to more!
Good job Josh. 👏
Brazen lil hussy thank you!
This was AMAZING!!! It’s a new light!
As a creative, I must say that this video drops so much game into evolving the artistic process. Thank you.🙏
Kanye the ultimate manifestation speaker. There’s power in the tongue gotta speak thing into existence then manifest it all.
Great video. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
This is so good~thank you!
The greatest summoner of creative energy.
Respect for sharing this. Feeling inspired
he is not human he is ye
💯💯💯
Be all you can be… and just win
Really cool video, didn’t expect such detailed clips so it was super engaging.
Top video, Kanye is one of the top three most influential artists of the 21st century and you can’t say otherwise
Hear! Hear!
Top 1
Watched the Kendrick one and now the kanye west one. 2 of my biggest inspiration and influence as a artist. I love these type of videos.
Turn this into a full length series and maybe someday I'll scroll on UA-cam and see a "What Are Dorian The Menace Studio Sessions Are Really Like"
People need to give Kanye his flowers while he’s here he might have his moments but name one genius that ain’t crazy
This vid gave me goose bumps because of how I grew up listening to these master pieces being shed to light like my favorite from is all of the lights and hear the way it was constructed makes since 😌
Bro when John Mayer talked about Kanye I got goosebumps. Great video
This was so well done
Thank you!!
You should’ve included what Paul McCartney of The Beatles had to say about recording with him. Kanye West is one of the greatest artist, ever.
Indeed
Man I’m inspired appreciate for sharing
Sounds absolutely beautiful ah!
I'm jus glad to see the world finally showin love to Ye again, bre..
Wow this was good 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good video. Inspirational. Thanks
I really enjoyed this video , thanks guys . I remember when I was a lot younger and I bought His cd ,college dropout , I played the hell out of that cd
"but I'm Jamie Foxx"
"Yeah, but don't do that"😭🤣🤣
Sucks this video had to end, loved it.
Agreed
Beautiful!
Love The ending. Much more success KW keep winning!
This is Called Tough Love
Someone pushing you to be better
I like the documentary on Netflix done about Kanye. Explain a lot of things about him. Also the close bond he had with his mother.
This was very inspiring 😊 Thanks
Top tier! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Watching Kanye from early 99 and 2000 is when I got motivated to do anything in life. Now I'm successful
I get him.. Imagine having to many thoughts for your head but they are all creative.. He knows how good he is
Solid content. Well put together.
This one grew on me. Good stuff!
This was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank yoU!
We need more of this
I'm going to marry Kim Kardashian ✅
I'm going to be a fashion designer. ✅
I'm going to be President some day ...
Two out of three ain't bad!
This was fire 🔥
The beat in the background is fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
i feel like the sessions are super frustrating, but they create absolute MAGIC so i would suffer in silence 😁
Spot on but think of it like grueling workouts or practices and then seeing the results. Every single one of those artist looked euphoric after those sessions. It’s dope when hard work pays off.
Frustrating, maybe..... But I think the mind has a way shutting down when someone pushes us out of our comfort zone... To achieve greatness I'm very sure it wouldn't be in my comfort zone.
Well said
As a 🇿🇦 Fan, I say this is beautiful. All positive about Kanye. Brutal honestly beautiful. ❤️
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

@Josh Svetz Great job on doing this video!🔥
Top quality video man
People love to roast Kanye I remind them the only difference between a madman and a genius is success
His influence cross field through art, fashion to music is undeniable
That Monster verse by Nikki was the best of her entire CAREER.. best on the song too
Honestly, well done about your vid !
This was a great video
Ye is a genius when it comes to music
I always love to see Kanye appreciation while he’s still here.
This also reminds me of those leaked texts when Ye fired a music engineer because he overslept and missed a sesh 😩 people were trying to shit on Kanye, but cmon you just don’t fumble an opportunity like that!
Or when Big Sean’s friend posted a video of a MBDTF recording session on Twitter, and Kanye made Big Sean cut his friend off.
@@akeme25 😂 Yesss! You just gotta love Kanye for who he is
Great video
Great video big up hip-hop DX
Amazing vid , only flaw was having to hear Jamie Fox’s Ye story for the millionth time lol
this taught it's ok to write my verses a couple of times
Don Jazzy again representing 💕💕
Sick vid 👏🏽👏🏽
The Man Is A Musical Genius
I love Kanye. College dropout is the only, and I repeat the only original album I spent my money on, so seeing this documentary only authenticates the feeling I had for Kanye when I first heard his music makes me feel like genius who recognises realness and greatness.
I've only ever purchased two albums, Late Registration and Get Rich or Die trying.
love this man
Great vidéo watching it from Côte d'Ivoire
KanYe is a music genius period! 🎼
Kanye is the greatest artist of all time 🐐
well researched doc!
suggestion: even out the volume between clips. it jumps up and down a lot
Sheessh this is 🔥🔥
It takes the heart of a strong leader with a solid head on his shoulders to influence great artists with star power as Nicky, Push, Ricky and the likes 👍
This lowkey motivated me to make a beat
Good stuff. So much to learn from the man.
Aye man I don’t leave comments often but this was a great video. And I’m not even done 😭😭
