YO THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!! We just need to listen to lyrics more. Like Andre 3K said "y'all don't hear me, y'all just want to dance."
@Drink Water Yeah, once I read the lyrics it changed the whole way I thought of the song..
@@movekeysdapianoman if you check the music video there's a coffin in the middle of the stage while they singing.
@@gersonpaulo8900 😳😳😳😳holy wtffffuuuucccchhhggfkkk??!!???
Yeah Hey Yah is a dark song
@@khwarizmatic437 yeah, things will never sound the same.
No one on the planet could’ve articulated that any better this is why geniuses exist in music respect to all men involved in this conversation here I’m literally in tears
Like..No one besides them!!!
You didn’t just refer to will.i.am as a “genius” right…???
Plz tell me you’re joking
You just called someone who didn’t know he was dissed on, on his own song, a GENIUS, unironically…..
Truly think about that
It even contradicts your own implied comment of them being “geniuses” in “music”
🤦♂️
@@ACarter87 I am very sure he was being sarcastic.
Kanye West is one of the most transparent and honest entertainer in show business.
Get ‘em high is a classic, love the baseline on that song
hits hard
Then Kweli says, “Nevermind, I need some tracks…,” letting us know that the relationship is at least partially transaction 🤣🤣🤣
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman "aiyyo, ain't you meet that chick at that conference with ya mom?
Her sister's the bomb but the she got bourgeois behavior
Always got something to say like an OkayPlayer hater..."
I checked and he actually gave Talib a few tracks for his first two or three albums 😂 .
Word
@@trentledford7640 and they all fire, that was back when Kanye was good
Can’t Tell Me Nothing by Kanye is the foreshadowing of his whole breakdown he had. Really listen to that track. He knows himself so well that his music just confirms his erratic behavior lmaoo
Real
He was right about the Js though
@@MrAM4D3U5 Still have to approach that very skillfully 💯
Although comical, I think this theory may be a bit of a reach. I remember listening to Kanye's "Last Call" and toward the end when he's talking about how he got signed, he mentioned how linking with Kweli was one of the greatest things that happened for his career. The following quote taken from the song via genius:
"My relationship with Kweli I think was one of the best ones to ever happen to my career as a rapper. Because, you know, of course, later he allowed me to go on tour with him. Man, I appre-- I love him for that."
---Ye
That don't mean talib can rap
Hey dude of course its a reach.....It's just funny that's all
Yet he's saying different now, so idk.
Well not necessarily different. He just admitted that he really didn't fuck with him. Whether he liked what he did for him or not. SMH!
He literally just admitted that linking up with Kweli was 1 of the best things for his career. He understood what he had to do & he did it. When he felt like he didn't need him anymore, he told the truth. When you have a disagreement with some1 & they're unhappy with you, pay attention to the things they say...that's how they really feel, lol
Yup at the end of the day as a artist if you don’t fuck with someone’s “raps” you don’t put them on your album lol I mean he could of put anyone on his album he was under rocafella.
I fell off my bed when Talib basically confirmed he was being used on the record. This is too good. 😂
he used him. Talib took Kanye on tour when nobody knew him as a rapper before this song came out his first tour he was tagging along with Talib city to city getting that backpacker crossover clout. Kanye was always calculated.
They were using each other tho. Ye made beats for everyone and he needed a way in to rap.
"It's okay to use people, it's not okay to misuse people." - Kanye
- God complex lol
Dope!!!!
@@georgeshiroda1173 nah, people use eachother all the time, it has a negative connotation but we only get better collectively by sharing our skills/value with eachother. the problem is when it becomes misuse/one sided
@@WoozyYami well spoken
FACTS. Along with this, i remember Ye also said "If you're not being used. you're useless"
Yall forget, Ye learned a lot during his 50 “battle”. Anything Ye mentions, anyone he mentions gets a light beam on it. Good press or bad, it makes numbers.
Exactly, plus ye bodied that battle.notice fofty became a bigger troll after that. Ye be on a similar path just more subliminal
Wild ass lyrics,played out in real life..... Classic Hip Hop shit.
Kanye been telling us but we dont listen😂😂😂
Kanye's Runaway track predicted his divorce.
@@lamimijae Kanye also predicted his birth....
What’s hilarious is that when Kanye said that on drink champs I went to get em high and listened like 10x making up my own theory lol that line I missed
I think ye never found himself when he was young and who he was around, became who he was. For instance he and his mom were super close. She was the college professor, teacher, activist..so Kanye took on that with making soulful music etc... at that time in his life the people who were most relatable was common, mos and kweli...black empowerment, activism and soulful, poetic demeanor. As he gets more famous and starts hanging with jay more and farther from his moms he starts to become more of that and less the ye of his first album. Fast forward his mom passes which is hard on anyone but imagine for a person who never really found himself, so now he has to foundation to come back to. Hooks up with Kim and becomes Hollywood ish. Got with billionaires and start making space cloths. I hope one day he really finds himself and can be happy
I dated a girl like that it was horrible lol
It's true
Obviously yours is the condensed version, but "Got with billionaires and and started making space clothes" is excellent, it sounds like a chapter from.a Frasier episode 😂
Dude he is from Chicago. That’s how it is.people act accordingly to where they are from. Look at folks from Florida 😂
"ehhhh... Could be "
But unsigned ye was doing the conscious/bling rap that's why he was saying in his doc he's in both worlds hence rocafella + rawkus appeal
WOW!!!! Will killed that observation!!!! I NEVER PUT THAT TOGETHER!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
“Wait till I get my money right. Then you can’t tell me nothing, right?”
Will sound crazy. The Black Eyed Peas pretty much did the same thing as Ye. They came out like a bootleg Tribe and turned into backup dancers for the white girl… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤡
Ay but that Meet me halfway still slaps to this day 🤣🤣🕺🏽
@@tyalmanza8 Ah man fuck preteen memories goddamn I miss those days.
Treal...I have a Love and Hate situation... But I recognize that Will is incredible incredible producer and rapper... Lot of creativity...
They was dead broke after years of doing their thing. They needed that white girl to cross over and damn did it work. Not even 3 years later everyone knew who they were, gettin on Oprah, half time shows etc. Their first real cross over hit "Where is the love", the hook was written by Justin Timberlake before Justin went solo. Hell yeah they were using em. I would have too. She used them too to get on, without the BEP she would be a nobody, without the BEP she's still a bit of a nobody.
Kanye is genius and solid. That's why he dope af. Talib the man indeed. Kanye knew what he was doing. Getting a fire ass lyrics dragged in..Talib love your music brother. Your in my top 10 💪🏾
Bro Kanye has a whole team of writers and he samples 90% of his beats that not genius. That’s a user of people. A genius is Stevie wonder, or Ray Charles, a prince. But definitely not Kanye bro
@@jaystacks5249 I think you need to look up the definition of Genius.
@@jaystacks5249 truth
Kanye doesn't even come close to being a genius. A good producer maybe, but definitely a wack rapper. One of the most overrated artists of all time.
@@doep See you are just Trolling Now. A good producer?. That’s like saying Elon Musk is a good thinker or Jeff Bezos is a good Boss. Kanye change the Game. Still is regardless if you troll his Genius… see Everybody gots It in them but Genius recognize It. Ok
Great to hear a new interview with Will.i.am
Holy Shit Knuckles!
Legendary! Talib pre-rebuttal game CRAZY! lololol
Yes after the doc, drink champs and the donda phase, if you go back and listen to every Kanye album fully you’ll see he’s just rapping his life in honesty. He has no reason to lie. His mom didn’t raise him that way. He doesn’t like the media and public that much as seen in the doc, but he learned how to put on a fake front. Is his facade the best? No by no means but he tries.
We love you Kanye
He’s fake.
Will.i.am has always been the truth, good genuine brother ....
Will falling out of the chair 😂😂😂😂
“That’s what happens when I change my baby’s diaper.” Lmao 🤣
Off topic but Kweli and Will in one room, both legends!
They have collaborated a good bit of times
This is sooo 🔥 and a great dive into one of my favorite songs! Both of you are legends and Will we love you more than you’ll ever know for the sesame street and tio choko colabs 🕺🏽🙌🏾 bu
Lol I can’t help but think how sturdy that table was when they fell out laughing 🤣
This is dope. LOL. Shout out to Will.I.Am for breaking it down like this.
Hand to the sky...I was just watching will I AM and BEP's videos and realized he/they created music that is timeless...the messages some didn't even realize they were hearing...hits even harder to these youngins today....he is an artist that has this creative process energy...you just know he's good people
I was thinking the exact same thing while relistening to college dropout lmao
We all use eachother and I love yall. Will.i.am is so intelligent to not be so emotional. I respect Talib who didn't even react lmao real Men here.
That Jim Morrison fall 2 the floor tho🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ye loves everyone he “dissed” on Drink Champs. He’s a passionate dude and a clever artist. 😉
He really does
And A 🥜 case
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman look up the definition of Love.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman be useful or be useless. Once you are useless you might as well die. Drop that ego and you will go far
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman you can use someone and still love em, the key is to not MISUSE them.
Ye just made the perfect promo for Black Star new album that he considered to be the best hip-hop album since Dark Fantasy
back then dudes wasn't checking for ye, they were checking for the artist he had on his album which were all time greats. Oh i should add we we're checking for his production as well.
Yea
Lies
Speak for yourself bruh
@@jayc5756 so when college dropout came out and you saw all those features, you didn't want to skip a song or 2 to hear a particular artist? I know i did!!!!
@@luddman77 Nope! That probably was just you bro. IJS
Get well soon Will. It looks like you hurt that knee😂. Also great clip kings!
Soon after Sean P passed away Meyhem Lauren shared on social media that P once said to him "if you can't be used, you're useless". P told Mey to go ahead and 'use' him in the form of getting a verse off P.
Using each other (in a positive way) is what most good relationships are built on.
Kweli is one of the greatest MC’s ever
Damn Talib was really hurt by the shit to be still talking about it.
nope
Lol
I really enjoyed this moment
Mos and Kweli was pushing for Kanye to be bigger. At least in the doc they was. Kweli to me is Legend! The Blast gotta be one of the best songs ever hands down!
It is, I will never, never get tired of hearing that track!!
Hi Tek killed that beat
It's funny when you love someone how you can make excuses for their bad behavior. But I guess there's some truth there.
Damn. I will never talk bad about The Black Eyed Peas again.
Don't let one good take end BEP hate
@candilubk I can't believe I'm laughing at this one year later. Good point.
Real talk....Thats one of my favorite track that I still bump to this day!!!🔥🔥🔥🎵🎵💪🏾💕
Kanye West is one of the most transparent and honest entertainer in show business.
No he's not... he one of the biggest drama queens and camera hogs. He do shit for the camera....let's be real
No he’s not 😂 you just fall for it
@@jatreviouscampbell explain
@@book2316 okay, when you work in the entertainment industry, you’re essentially a character. You feel Kanye is transparent because that is quite literally his “character” traits. These people are professionals for a reason. The soul purpose, in today’s industry due to the increase of social media (but starting with the grown infatuation with reality tv), is to humanize such characters. This is all important for marketing to know which groups to reach to optimize product sales and sale-ability or “future sales”. It’s actually pretty cool to know all the work that goes into the product we receive.
@@jatreviouscampbell Everything you just wrote doesn't apply to Kanye West. If you study Kanye West's career and interviews you will know what you wrote doesn't apply. He is literally the same character from day one and he has never changed, he only became more mature.
Brah too funny when he fell on the floor😂😂😂😂😂
I remember when the Peas were in Columbus Ohio years ago for Smokin Grooves. After their set, Will came and stood next to me and my brotha and watched The Roots perform. Cool dude
Talib is one of the greatest lyricist of all time,
only MENSA level genius could have picked up on and broke that down the way they both just did!
Phunny az Phuck.. talib said i can't believe that this guy is using my name
😭😂😆🤣 he funny as hell for this break down boy he got some shit going through his head frfr
We love Will.i.am- hes a real cat !he's Dope !!
When he fell out rolling 😂That part
"Life about using people. Just don't misuse them."
-Ye
Will's take is awesome but, Kanye meant it the way we all heard it.
You know Talibs biggest song he used a Kanye beat. My sister listens to lignin but Wayne Gucci yo gotti people like that but she fuckin LOVES talib GET BY. That beat man. God damn it’s good
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@GeronFletcher this is true, I think that's what talib more,he eats off that song
So you know Kanye West? I don’t. I barely know my own friends. Thing is everyone in this world keep secrets. Some more and better than others…
@@oscarulloa5067 i only know Kanye's repeated history of shitting on his friends on public forums - usually to drive ratings or draw attention to his interviews (which always happen when he's promoting an album) - and then immediately afterwards calling them on the phone to apologize for what he said about them.
i met kanye back in the day when i worked at ohare airport and talib actually called him while i was talking to him so naw they was actually friends he let me talk to him and everything, unleas he called him first and he was returning the call.
That was amazing and made me smile...I was so angry when he said that..thank you🙏
Cuzz Will Iam Is Fuccig Smart. He Figured That Sneaky Shit Out
Get em high is one of my all time fav tracks
That analysis was brilliance personified!
Hilarious! Get Em High was fire, pure hip hop. Let's not miss out that Common was also on the song, which Ye also dissed on the Drink Champs.
Some people feed their ego by believing they are taking advantage of you or manipulating you even when they're actually not.
What did he say about common?
@@jjordan6066 On Drink Champs, Ye said the thing he don't like about Common is he do whatever the democrats tell him to do. He be with them talking about this what light skinned niggas be doing. It was actually funny.
To be honest on that track Common was the dopest lyrically, don't get me wrong they were all dope. My favorite track.
@@moxmann he's not wrong though
@@Giles.K I think Talib killed it on that track, but yeah everybody's verse was dope. It's an underrated song. The chemistry was there just dope rappers spitting bars.
Omg I’m on the floor laughing my ass off.. Hilarious 😂
Fam Jasmine fine AF!!!!!
I thought of those lyrics as soon as I heard what Kanye said lol
The fact that he has on a Issey 🧢 I believe him
Ye' is the man and the only mainstream artist who actually speaks his mind freely! All these other rappers go with the status quo and say what they think they should say or what their labels etc. make them say. Kanye is a free thinker. 🙏🏻 Ye' 2024.
Ye 2024? 2024 what? President? hahahaha yes please. And then see how the relations to Israel will be.
Nobody gets left behind we all got to reach the top. 4
🤣🤣🤣 this is wild !
that was hilarious! 😂
4:37 the only reason why I'm here😂😂😂😂
Girl: “You mean Talib, lyrics stick to your rib?”
Kanye: “I mean….”
🥶🥶🥶
This is funny but very Brillant
people think Kanye be joking
It's basic. Why wouldn't a up and coming Ye use clout to knock off a few birdz 🐦🐦🐦. Everybody was using Ye for his beats. Fair exchange
Your equation seems balanced, no arguments
Yeah I'm sure he was giving everyone beats for free.
Back then everyone was at his door asking for beats especially the backpacker community. So he entrenched himself there to boost his upclimb while cooking heat for them. Don't forget Talib got " get by" out of that exchange which was a big big track.
Good energy in this podcast lol
As a 90s kid it's still funny hearing rappers talk about their feelings

Crazy. I just had an awful arguement and was all upset.
I saw this video and HOLY I FEEL BETTER! 😎🤣🤣🤣 *HILARIOUS!*
This must be the coolest interview I’ve seen 😅
Kweli out there with the treton on. Serious throwback
i got some sweet nylon and suede jawns that hit hard. red, white and blue dips. LOL
@@ricolaw1033 only old heads/sneakerheads[such as ourselves] caught that reference
@@HARLEM430 tretorns and Benetton!! Late 80’s early 90’s lay from NY to DC!! Can’t forget those original Girbuad jeans with a champion hoodie and grey new Balance 990’s
@@HARLEM430 tru. i have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. love hip hop but still white and lacking style. all i learned from you guys at the time in the 90s was matching my shoes and shirts the same color were pretty cool.
But what about that hoodie?
Will.I.A.m should've prepared for this. He's like "Hold on, I'll show you the receipts. (Four minutes later) Hold on, I'm about to find the receipts"
She was feeling on Candice and everything lol!!!!!
All this proves is that y’all ninjas don’t really listen to what people say, especially in rap lyrics #wowzers 🤦🏾🙄👀
"You mean Talib, lyrics stick to your ribs?"
Before I heard this song the last time I heard that expression I was a lil kid listening to my Dad tell me something he cooked was gon' stick to my ribs. Thats my favorite line.
Will. He. Is.
Holy Shitknuckles that was full circle!
That was the lightest fall I’ve ever seen 😩🤣🤣🥰
Got to love us black folk, we even run away when laughing while sitting in a chair 🤣🤣🤣 4:37
I’ve seen non black people do that wtf lmfao
@@appelsin2821 , congrats on that part of your life 🤣😅
@@This-Aint-No-Disco ?
This shit is EPICALLY HILARIOUS 😆
I get the point that Will.I.am was making, but overall, at tge time when Kanye came out, yes, we thought that Ye was gonna be the next great Conscious emcee . . . just like we all thought, with Jay Electronica ! 😔🤦
Jay Electronica is great tho. What?
will.i. am discovered the circle of life in hip hop hahahahahah
My brother Played football with him for the East LA Bobcats. We were the few black families that live amongst my Issachar brotha’s and sista’s. Great times, Obergon park days.
Will.I.am doing detective work and presenting his findings turned out to be kind of hilarious. It's better to laugh about all of this
LMAOOO yoo what a deep dive 🤣😂🤣 this nigga Will need a pod
Nah, he broke it down perfectly tbh.
Craaaazy! “Get Em High”…classic to me.
That was dope !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I guess it's safe to say rappers are the modern day prophets and teachers
There's no comparison between Kweli and corny Kanye. NONE. Talib Kweli is a ridiculously good rapper, not some clown pop producer who's avg at best
4:00 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! okay 😂🤣😂
Will.I.Am is a legend
This isn't the only instance of him telling you this. There are more examples of that on that album. He rode that backpack/ conscious wave as a means to become flashy and jiggy and in your face. He was never the humble guy he was portraying. It's all in the lyrics of "All Falls Down" and probably some other songs.
Rappers do this all the time. Even Malice from Clipse. If you listened closely to songs he was on around the time he left the duo and retired you could tell he was being pulled away into another direction.The hints were in the music.
Shouts to Ye's Biggie/Warning reference.
Will I am went straight PI 😂😭😭
Kanye is NOT better than Kweli and I'll fight ppl over that!! You the truth Talib!!
As a rapper, absolutely not...
But Kanye isn't just a rapper.
@@wolf7el356 I'm talking about skill and lyricism on the mic...
@@micsmith672 I was agreeing with you...
As a rapper it's not even up for debate, Talib is a far better MC than Kanye.
@@wolf7el356 I understand I was just clarifying my stance a little more... no doubt salute
