I was a 27 year old Production Assistant on this Music Video. It was my very first production job. They had me as an “intern.” I worked so hard they ended up paying me. Now I do video-playback. If it wasn’t for this video(job), I wouldn’t be where I am now. Thanks.
Can I just ask where an opportunity like that came up when searching for your first job? You don't find gigs like that often, so I'm curious how you got so lucky coming across it!
One of the cool things about this song is how Kanye and Bon Iver sing different parts in the chorus. Kanye says "I'm lost in the world, I'm down on my mind, I'm building a city, and I'm down for the night" and Bon Iver sings "I'm lost in the woods, I'm down on my time, I'm building a still, and I'm down for the night." At the time Bon Iver was asked by Kanye to do this song, he was living in a log cabin in the middle of the wilderness to find himself after a string of unsuccessful attempts to break into the music industry which explains his lyrics. Kanye, in contrast, lives in LA and probably felt lost after the controversy surrounding 808's and Heartbreak and also the loss of his mother. You can feel the pain and desire for redemption from both men in this song, truly is touching. Kanye shows the genius of balancing two narratives in one song, and that is something remarkable to listen to.
bon iver was a successful project for justin vernon before this was recorded. he was signed to jagjaguwar and for emma was a critical and commerical success. his time spent in his fathers cabin was because he had mono, and he recorded fefa around the time he recovered from the illness in 2006-2007. this song was recorded two years later (2009). love the narrative but you have many facts wrong.
Guys get your lyrics right: Bon Iver's part is "I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind, I'm building a still, to slow down the time" While Kanye's is "I'm lost in the world, been down my whole life, I'm new in the city, and I'm down for the night"
Taking years alone isolated with nothing but your thoughts and barely being able to keep yourself sane then coming back to society 50x a better person than you used to be and forgiving your self through like like kanye
@@Discobob2000 I would say it could not be one without the other, but Justin's original was not a hit. To be honest, I don't even like it; it's a completely different song. Vernon's contribution is the main chorus and a few lyrics. Central to the song? Absolutely. But to say Justin is the reason this song is good, no.
@B P I know, and I love the original Bon Iver track. But Kanye added so much to it, with the production and the vocals and everything, he turned it into something else
@@BieberFever19061 Honestly the Woods doesn't sound that good to me. Shows Kanye knows how to use samples transformatively. Because this has a whole different soul whereas the original sounded like a vocal testing.
@@jonniecandito181 "vocal testing" my ass lmao. woods will always be superior to whatever garbage kanye west produces. please don't talk about things you don't understand
Kanye is a genius, but you have to give credit to Bon Iver as well, a genius in his own right. Without him, this song would not be possible. I wish him and Kanye would create an album together, the sound that would be, unimaginable. .
that second hook @ (2:20) with the choir singing literally brings tears to my eyes, not sure if its the meaning behind the words or simply how beautiful it sounds but i cant get over it. this song speaks to me , and my generation, on so many levels i cant help but get emotional every time i hear it. this whole ablum was a masterpiece at a pivotal time in my life. such a shame to see him fall so low in these past few years but ill still love the "old" kanye
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a reflection of Kanye's soul. He will be hailed for his work after 20 or 10 years, as one of the greatest music composers to ever live in 2000s on planet earth.
The general population won't understand Kanye until he passes away, they're too brainwashed by the media, the man is a musical genius who expresses his emotions purely through his music and has helped many people through tough times.
Oh my goodness, this song gives me mixed feelings. It's a song I listen to when I want to cry, when I feel like rejoicing, when I feel like falling apart or rebooting. A song I play during the calm before the storm, during the storm, and when the sun rises again. I love it
the last 30 seconds is one of the greatest pieces of music ive ever fucking heard. you have to listen closely and hear all the different things working together its mindblowing
6laderunner Kanye produces all of his music and a ton of popular artists like Drake, he also writes raps for a ton of popular artists. Take a look at the writers/producers of almost any popular hip hop song, Kanye will be on it. He makes his own beats which are some of the best ever made. And he can rap as well as anyone ever. And you say he's overrated? Well that's just not true
You can’t listen to the lyrics of this song and watch what Kanye is going through right now and not feel some sort of sorrow for the man. He’s been struggling in front of our eyes for years. We need you Ye.
This whole album and a good portion of 808s was a clear call for help/outcry about the pain and turmoil he was fighting. It reminds me of that line in Hey Ya! by Outkast: "Y'all don't wanna hear me, y'all just wanna dance."
I never hear anyone talk about how incredible the part is at 3:27. That low and booming vocoded voice going “whole world, whole life city, night” sends chills down my spine. anyone agree?
are you fucking crazy? what about 3:10 when those voice come in? fucking absolutely madness. this could easily be kanye's best fucking track for so many different reasons. i don't think it is, but it could be,
This guy truly lives in the Future. The world was not ready for 808 & heartbreak album. And it ain’t still ready for Life of Pablo 2016 either. He’s A LEGEND!!!
E.J. Craig yeah i barely started loving Kanye recently and i appreciate him now more than before. I used to hate on him just cause everyone did and now that ive broken out of the “media” mindset, ive really respected this man.
He definitely is. I've known this for years. It's sad that alot people don't give him enough credit. When he passes, the world will then realize what it lost
@TyetheRebel I don't fall under any of those criterias. Stuff like the N-word is very racist though, and I think you need to understand why we go out and protest. We go out for change, there is still racism and discrimination. I understand things are worded kinda weird out there but lemme explain. The phrase "not all lives matter until black lives matter" isnt degrading other lives, it's asking why you say all lives matter when many racist people discriminate against lives which makes it so not all lives matter yet. We're trying to fight for change, not control or to call out people who aren't racist.
Absolutely Kanye's most underrated work, regardless of views. I mean 13.4 milions is a lot, but i still feel like i'm a member of an exclusive club where people appreciate this masterpiece.
If you didnt know already Kanye and Vernon were in the studio for the entire production of the entire album. They are actually really good friends, Kanye is also in the special thanks for the upcoming Bon Iver album.
explain to me how completely ripping Bon Iver's genius a song not even 10 years old can make this a masterpiece. How.. By adding a bunch of noise and drums to it? Literally anyone in the music industry could have made this in their sleep. The original Woods is the creative spark.
it don't have a billion views because its a song about the bastard child of America aka my people we lost in the woods we can't go home because they hate us and we can't stay here because they hate us we forever lost
I remember almost bursting into tears the first time I heard that female choir come in at 2:18ish mark. I've been following Ye's career since before The College Dropout came out and I felt so proud of him, as a fan. The composition on this is just incredible.
Kanye, if you ever read this, you’ve saved my life more than once man. Your art hasn’t gone unnoticed or was never for nothing. You’re moving people, saving them & even pushing them to chase what they love. God bless 🙏🏼 “Yeezy” will always be my answer when someone asks who my favorite artist is. Love you brother.
@@Brandon-eo9qoa lot of people get shit on nowadays for being ye fans because of the controversy. It’s bs in my opinion because kanye’s music will always be kanye’s music
I have enjoyed Bon Iver for a while, and yes the chorus is definitely great by itself. I am not trying to downplay Bon Iver by any means. I am just enjoying that Kanye West was able to recognize the track for what it was and put a great spin on it.
Fr man i hated him first because everyone hate him. I judged him by seeing some short clips of him. As i grew older i became more and more fond of his songs and began to watch his interviews and realised this man was spitting straight facts. Love him now, one of few celeb who is real to the world and defiantly among the top 3 artist of the 21st century
This song is proof that popularity and quality have nothing to do with one another anymore. This is a masterpiece and everytime I come here I expect millionsss of views and then get disappointed by how meaningless music gets popular quick and this doesnt. Idk i just cant seem to grasp it.
+Blobidibi BoubouBa (ElectricBlob) For a Kanye song it's incredibly underrated. If you look at most of Kanye's other videos they get like 50-150million
People like to hate on Kanye because of some poor actions he made in the eye of the media, while not realizing his unbelievable musical talent, they hate him just because it's cool to hate him, he's one of the best musical producers and rappers of our time, and fuck any hater, I'll always stay repping Yeezy.
This is literally what I tell to every Kanye's "hater" I find... But unfortunately people focus on the life more than the work all this people make. Kanye is a truly special artist, with tons of talent, but people just cares about him for being Kim's "controversial" husband.
The way he flipped the lost in the woods sample. Oh my god. It gives this song a whole different vibe than the original. It gives a slight feeling of hope while the original is just straight hopelessness and being lost. This gives the feeling of being lost but wanting to be found and having hope
+Spencer G lol John Lennon, Steve Jobs, Shakespeare, Thomas Eddison, Michael Jackson, Picasso were all cunts but no one even thinks about that anymore. Same will happen for Kanye. Shame he isnt appreciated while hes alive
He'll be okay. I have a mental disorder and a crazy passion to get my name public. I have my breakdowns too. Having a mental disorder is a bitch, but he's strong. Kanye just needs to get healthy again and continue being Kanye.
1:49 is the reasons I still being in this world. I remember being depressed because a bad relationship and I was playing random songs, then Lost In The World played, at first I wasn’t really having it, then the song intensified and I felt life going through all my body and started to dance. Now I’m my best version and I never imagined being this happy in my life. I really appreciate Ye for saving me. 🖤
"I don't need writers, I might bounce ideas But only I could come up with some shit like this" - Barry Bonds, Graduation He's right, only Kanye could come up with some shit like this. Great album, not one bad song, finished off by this epic track.
Seth Jared Duh, Bon Iver is listed right in the title and the whole world knows this song is a remix of their song Woods. Your point? On second thought, I don't care.
Nah I wouldn't say it didn't have its bad tracks. So Appalled was pretty terrible IMO. But Dark fantasy, Gorgeous, Power, All of the Lights, this, and Blame Game make up for it.
Man, I can't believe I just found his music recently. Like this man is one hell of a musical genius. You can see his growth, creativity, and artistry in his discography. MBDTF to be exact is the greatest album that I've ever listened to. The feels, the emotions, the creativity that he put and the other artists, as well as producers, are Fucking tremendous that it made the album unique, it's amazing. Kanye is one of the greatest artists, he's a big inspiration for me. Too bad that people always focus on his controversies, and being bipolar rather than listening to his words and appreciating him. People will just know how great he was when he dies, hopefully, he won't be gone soon... and I hope that people will take their time to understand him and appreciate the ART he made and will be making.
that’s the thing. it’s the musical growth, through his ego, maturity, family, it’s like all a big film through his discography from the 2004-07 era then his mom died then everything changed , egotistical from 2011-2014 then 2016-2018 he began to change now he is a changed man and it perfectly shows that through his music
+Arturo Cardenas That was exactly my case, for the last couple of weeks.. Cheers from Morocco! Also, always keep in mind that you are awesome, and don't you ever underestimate yourself ;)
i wish kanye was an underground artist sometimes cuz hes my fav artist and i hate when people say i hate the new kanye and curse him out but probably listen to him on the low
Anyone who says Kanye West is "shit" or "a douche", doesn't have the capacity to understand the emotional depth of his struggle, which is expressed through his music. What you judge others to be is really a reflection of yourself -- Kanye is an insecure genius who happens to be in the biggest public spotlight in human history. You think you feel good when your Instagram post gets 100 likes? Try getting 10 million. What would that do to your mind? Your ego? Kanye is both a hero and a victim of our modern culture's fucked up notion of what success means. His music breaks through all of the garbage and hits your heart and soul with its raw emotions and melodic beauty. I challenge anyone who hates on Kanye to look through his discography, look past the image in the magazines, and really try to vibe with what he's saying and what he's feeling. Kanye is on some MJ meets Mozart shit. His collaboration with McCartney was out of this world and the upcoming 7 songs they have I predict will be equally astounding.
This might be my favorite song on the album, maybe because of how much i slept on it when i first heard it but re-listening to it years later was an unexplainable feeling
First time I heard this song was when I woke up at like 2 in the morning at a mates place, stoned as fuck and they played this on their tv. I was completely blown away and it was simply incredible.
Give this song a couple more years.... and maybe people will finally understand the song and how powerful his music really is. This song really was released 10 years to early and I KNOW this song will come back.
Genius. Pure genius. The symphonic slow walk..and then.. the drums grab on.. and never let go....then... the Gil Scott Heron chaser. One of Ye's best. Produced to perfection.
He said in an interview that he wrote this song for Kim when he was in love with her and she was in a relationship with other guys before they married.
whenever I feel like I've hit a rut in my music library I always turn back to this song, one of my absolute favorites, and I remember how music is more than just lyrics and some production; it's art, poetry, drama, a story, and everything in between. kanye is and will always be a legend, and i feel sorry for those who can't see that
Fabio Yostar it’s because we are just now catching up to Kanye when he made this song in the present he is still years ahead of us like he says he is ten years in the future he has to slow down to process everything from the future to the present
I like to think of Watch the Throne not as an anomaly amongst his discography, but rather as a victory lap celebrating the height of artistic achievement, passion, and emotion that went into MBDTF. Hence lyrics on Lift Off; "We gon’ take it to the moon, take it to the stars How many people you know can take it this far?" Kanye and Nas are my favorite hip-hop artists of all time. I am very glad that both of these legends are still putting out great music.
In conclusion, I feel like MBDTF changed hip-hop forever. Even before its release, the hype surrounding it influenced the whole hip-hop game and even the music game. Few hip-hop albums (including Illmatic) match the immense star power of MBDTF.
i used to always skip this track for the longest and one day it hit me how great this song is all around......not all Ye tracks are liked from the jump; some have to grow on you, but they will.
+Casanova St. Pierre same way here - I could never get past the intro (since hits seemingly have to "grab you" these days). Had this album for over five years and only had now begun to appreciate this track.
How can someone dislike this? Let alone 4 thousand people... this is the proof that Kanye's haters don't even listen to his music, they just hear about his antiques and the way he is portrayed by the media but don't really care about the music... you just disliked one of the most beautiful songs in human history because you don't like Kanye... k.
Excatly, people hating on Kanye without even listen to his music. The media always tell us lies and bullshit, and the media potrays Kanye as "douchebag" and "dickhead". Guys don't listen to the media, Kanye isn't really like that. Alot of people don't understand his greatness and his art and music. I hope all of you Kanye haters listen to some mumble rap and new Eminem songs and thinking that they're good.
+Stay Frosty Stay QUIET. Because that's not what that comment means. It means the lyrics have meaning to that person and you think you can judge someone's taste in music based off that statement? Your taste in music is remedial at best, since we're all critiquing each other with irrelevant comments such as yours.
I'm up in the woods I'm down on my mind I'm building a still To slow down time I'm up in the woods I'm down on my mind I'm building a still To slow down the time I'm up in the woods I'm down on my line I'm building a still Down the time ooh I'm lost in the world Been down my whole life I'm new in the city And I'm down for the night Down for the night Said she's down for the night Down the time I'm lost in the world Been down my whole life I'm new in the city But I'm down for the night Down for the night, down for the night You're my devil, you're my angel You're my Heaven, you're my Hell You're my now, you're my forever You're my freedom, you're my jail You're my lies, you're my truth You're my war, you're my truce You're my questions, you're my proof You're my stress and you're my masseuse Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-se, ma-ma-ku-sa Lost in this plastic light Let's break out of this fake ass party Turn this into a classic night If we die in each other's arms Still get laid in that afterlife If we die in each other's arms Still get laid yeah I'm up in the woods (run from the lights, run from the night) Run for your life I'm new in the city And I'm down for the night Down for the night, down for the night I'm lost in the world Been down my whole life I'm new in the city But I'm down for the night Down for the night, down for the night Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America? (Down for the night) Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America? I'm lost in the world Been down my whole life I'm new in the city And I'm down for the ride, known for the ride I'm lost in the world Been down my whole life I'm new in the city But I'm down for the night Down for the night, for a good time Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Whoa whoa whoa Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Whoa whoa whoa Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Whoa whoa whoa Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Hey oh wow oh Whoa whoa
The genius of Kanye is that he can synchronize artistic narratives to create a larger work that acknowledges its own diversity while celebrating its collective unity
This song, in my opinion, is one of the best album closers of all time. It's worth buying and listening to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy just to get to Lost in the Woods at the very end. It encapsulates the whole record - the pomp, the grandiosity, the euphoria and the introspection - in 4 minutes. It is sublime in every sense of the word.
My Dark Twisted Fantasy (looking back on it) was easily his best album. With this song, Runaway, Hell of a Life, even Devil In A New Dress; Were all super good songs. The album truly expresses Ye’s song writing ability.
kanye west expresses exactly what is happening to him in his music. Materialistic thinking has confused him deeply, city lights, fast cars have blinded him. He is lost in the world, desperate, falling.
You probably the type to believe in the illuminati huh? he has been on record saying he made this for kim, dont be that person that tries to find "a deeper meaning" in songs, cuz there isnt always one and you look stupid lol
Sometimes i feel shame and regret about things i did or missed, And it's a heavy feeling. And I listen to this song, and remember there is always a new start and a new chance for everyone. Thanks Kanye :)
‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ An artistic masterpiece of an album that tells a story about the beauty and dangers of fame and love presented in amazing ways with extremely realistic musical elements with pianos and orchestral sounds, and amazing usage of sampling small elements of some know/unknown 1960’s, 1970’s & early 1980’s old school songs to make something completely original. Also extraordinary mature subject matter used very well lyrically throughout the album. Whether you like Kanye or not this thing is thing is a masterpiece that won’t be forgotten.
Why do I only hear about Kanye being a douche? Now that I've checked out his music, I'm in love! I wish we listened to the music and not worry about the artist so much.
our nature is divisive and we tend toward the destructive, tearing down and looking for reasons to do so. if i am persecuting you i don't look at my own issues and can leave them unaddressed which is less daunting. we want mercy for ourselves but reluctantly give it away. but i second what you said.
This song gives me chills every fucking time. Such a perfect ending to a masterpiece as Runaway. And I know he wrote it for Kim, but I think it has A LOT to do with his mom. Kanye is lost and stuck in a shallow world where he doesn't belong to, a world which took his beloved mother's life, that's why he wants her lover to run away with him from all this mess. It's beautiful, powerful and tragic at the same time. So much respect for this man.
I was a 27 year old Production Assistant on this Music Video. It was my very first production job. They had me as an “intern.” I worked so hard they ended up paying me. Now I do video-playback. If it wasn’t for this video(job), I wouldn’t be where I am now. Thanks.

Unfortunately though, the brainwashed haters will celebrate his passing without ever realizing how much of an amazing artist he is.
by then the music will probably be too outdated and people who look back will see the more influential people kanye took ideas from to inspire himself

are you fucking crazy? what about 3:10 when those voice come in? fucking absolutely madness. this could easily be kanye's best fucking track for so many different reasons. i don't think it is, but it could be,
My favorite part
This guy truly lives in the Future. The world was not ready for 808 & heartbreak album. And it ain’t still ready for Life of Pablo 2016 either. He’s A LEGEND!!!
Jobs mine exactly I hadn’t listened to MDTBF until this year and I regret not listening years ago
What about yeezus???
eduoloo exactly. Yeezus was like 3-4 years ahead of its time. So far ahead that people are just now able to appreciate it. Kanye the GOAT IDGAF
E.J. Craig yeah i barely started loving Kanye recently and i appreciate him now more than before. I used to hate on him just cause everyone did and now that ive broken out of the “media” mindset, ive really respected this man.
i experienced the same
What if Kanye really is the greatest artist of our time? Bold statement. But what if? And what if we don’t realize it until he’s gone?
He dropped the album of the Decade in the beginning of the decade and it still can't be matched he definitely has a case.
He definitely is. I've known this for years. It's sad that alot people don't give him enough credit. When he passes, the world will then realize what it lost
He is; he has the best discography, is probably the most influential and the most creative
The destiny of many greats unfortunately
Kanye west or the weekend listen his early albums to latest by far bestest
Hearing the “Who will survive in america” just hits differently now a days
I'm from Brazil, this fits too much with the ignorance that the government here have to his people
Yes but the song is not about that
@TyetheRebel thats me im the insane leftist sjw
@TyetheRebel I don't fall under any of those criterias. Stuff like the N-word is very racist though, and I think you need to understand why we go out and protest. We go out for change, there is still racism and discrimination. I understand things are worded kinda weird out there but lemme explain. The phrase "not all lives matter until black lives matter" isnt degrading other lives, it's asking why you say all lives matter when many racist people discriminate against lives which makes it so not all lives matter yet. We're trying to fight for change, not control or to call out people who aren't racist.
TyetheRebel I'm not reading all that shit, but most of what you said was really stupid and not reflecting of the entire ""sjw"" ideologies.
Absolutely Kanye's most underrated work, regardless of views. I mean 13.4 milions is a lot, but i still feel like i'm a member of an exclusive club where people appreciate this masterpiece.
same!! i think this is his BEST song personally. and thats obviously saying a lot.
@@eeeyooohoh i mean, it's the outro to his magnum opus 🤷🏻♂️
@@RM-wp7dfYes, but it’s criminal to not count WWSIA as part of it, too.
This is the track that finally made me believe, "Wow. This guy is actually a genius."
I'm sure Justin Vernon knows his friend Kanye is a genius.
It's called sampling.....
If you didnt know already Kanye and Vernon were in the studio for the entire production of the entire album. They are actually really good friends, Kanye is also in the special thanks for the upcoming Bon Iver album.
explain to me how completely ripping Bon Iver's genius a song not even 10 years old can make this a masterpiece. How.. By adding a bunch of noise and drums to it? Literally anyone in the music industry could have made this in their sleep. The original Woods is the creative spark.
It took you 12 years... but better late than ever, right?
I really don't get why Kanye isn't in discussions as one of the best artists of our generation. His music goes so far past the rap genre.
Because he has an ego, raps, and is always shown negatively in the media so that apparently means he makes bad music.
+Based because hes a "producer rapper" and cant be considered a real lyricist, according to billboard. Those guys are fucking idiots
+Based he is, though.
+Hannes Samuelsson He really isn't as the people above said hes shadowed by his attitude & is misunderstood. People will praise him when hes dead
Based anyone big into hip-hop will say kanye is one of the greats, though. he is also incredably critically acclaimed.

it don't have a billion views because its a song about the bastard child of America aka my people we lost in the woods we can't go home because they hate us and we can't stay here because they hate us we forever lost
I have no idea
I remember almost bursting into tears the first time I heard that female choir come in at 2:18ish mark. I've been following Ye's career since before The College Dropout came out and I felt so proud of him, as a fan. The composition on this is just incredible.

Kanye, if you ever read this, you’ve saved my life more than once man. Your art hasn’t gone unnoticed or was never for nothing. You’re moving people, saving them & even pushing them to chase what they love. God bless 🙏🏼 “Yeezy” will always be my answer when someone asks who my favorite artist is. Love you brother.

How about Bon iver the one who wrote the chorus in 2010
I have enjoyed Bon Iver for a while, and yes the chorus is definitely great by itself. I am not trying to downplay Bon Iver by any means. I am just enjoying that Kanye West was able to recognize the track for what it was and put a great spin on it.
He's still a complete asshole but I agree he is a good artist who won't be appreciated as much until the future.

there is no denying Kanye West is creative
Uhhhh.... Yeah?

denying that Kanye is creative is like denying that Steve Jobs is innovative

Gambino isn't even rap anymore 😂😂😂
The older I get the more I realize how good of an artist he is. Def top 5 all time
Number 1
Fr man i hated him first because everyone hate him. I judged him by seeing some short clips of him. As i grew older i became more and more fond of his songs and began to watch his interviews and realised this man was spitting straight facts. Love him now, one of few celeb who is real to the world and defiantly among the top 3 artist of the 21st century
ON GAHHHHH, top 1 to me tho, full glaze
Who above him?
Top 3 solo artists
Kanye west
Michael Jackson
David Bowie
This song is proof that popularity and quality have nothing to do with one another anymore. This is a masterpiece and everytime I come here I expect millionsss of views and then get disappointed by how meaningless music gets popular quick and this doesnt. Idk i just cant seem to grasp it.
8.4 million views. So underground and underappreciated
+Blobidibi BoubouBa (ElectricBlob) For a Kanye song it's incredibly underrated. If you look at most of Kanye's other videos they get like 50-150million
+Blobidibi BoubouBa (ElectricBlob) compared to Low Life by Future, which has 4x the views and is absolute garbage
Agree 100%
lol this shit is meaningless
People like to hate on Kanye because of some poor actions he made in the eye of the media, while not realizing his unbelievable musical talent, they hate him just because it's cool to hate him, he's one of the best musical producers and rappers of our time, and fuck any hater, I'll always stay repping Yeezy.
He even said: "Everyone makes mistakes, i just make em in public"
I've never seen this put so perfectly. I agree 100%. I hope one day the world will learn to appreciate him for the genius he is
This is literally what I tell to every Kanye's "hater" I find... But unfortunately people focus on the life more than the work all this people make. Kanye is a truly special artist, with tons of talent, but people just cares about him for being Kim's "controversial" husband.
I couldn't have typed it any better
I'm wit you ✊
The way he flipped the lost in the woods sample. Oh my god. It gives this song a whole different vibe than the original. It gives a slight feeling of hope while the original is just straight hopelessness and being lost. This gives the feeling of being lost but wanting to be found and having hope
What's the original song?

Couldn’t agree more, that voice is heavenly

1:49 is the reasons I still being in this world.
I remember being depressed because a bad relationship and I was playing random songs, then Lost In The World played, at first I wasn’t really having it, then the song intensified and I felt life going through all my body and started to dance.
Now I’m my best version and I never imagined being this happy in my life.
I really appreciate Ye for saving me. 🖤

Slimeasaur The First Slimy Dinosaur Yes I know, but it's impossible for me to use the singular when naming a band.
this track is one of the most brilliant pieces of music ive ever heard
the more i listen to this album, the better it gets, and this track is no exception.
The only album I can call perfect. Usually there are bad tracks in good albums but not this one.
I've always said that this album is my favorite of all time.
Nah I wouldn't say it didn't have its bad tracks. So Appalled was pretty terrible IMO. But Dark fantasy, Gorgeous, Power, All of the Lights, this, and Blame Game make up for it.
Lunatic Prodigy so appalled was excellent imo
A lot of people like that song. I never saw the appeal of it. I just hated the hook.
Man, I can't believe I just found his music recently. Like this man is one hell of a musical genius. You can see his growth, creativity, and artistry in his discography.
MBDTF to be exact is the greatest album that I've ever listened to. The feels, the emotions, the creativity that he put and the other artists, as well as producers, are Fucking tremendous that it made the album unique, it's amazing.
Kanye is one of the greatest artists, he's a big inspiration for me. Too bad that people always focus on his controversies, and being bipolar rather than listening to his words and appreciating him. People will just know how great he was when he dies, hopefully, he won't be gone soon... and I hope that people will take their time to understand him and appreciate the ART he made and will be making.
that’s the thing. it’s the musical growth, through his ego, maturity, family, it’s like all a big film through his discography from the 2004-07 era then his mom died then everything changed , egotistical from 2011-2014 then 2016-2018 he began to change now he is a changed man and it perfectly shows that through his music
Poor guy is struggling these days. But I totally ignored Kanye until watched Netflix documentary. Just catching up.
This whole album helped me with my depression. god, I love kanye
MBDTF and The Weeknd's "Trilogy" basically both saved my life.
+Charlie F it didn't save my life but it certainly changed it for the better, I love Abel and Ye

@@cube5884 yep and why do ppl act like he didn't inspire a whole generation of rap artists including drake himself?
Anyone who says Kanye West is "shit" or "a douche", doesn't have the capacity to understand the emotional depth of his struggle, which is expressed through his music. What you judge others to be is really a reflection of yourself -- Kanye is an insecure genius who happens to be in the biggest public spotlight in human history. You think you feel good when your Instagram post gets 100 likes? Try getting 10 million. What would that do to your mind? Your ego? Kanye is both a hero and a victim of our modern culture's fucked up notion of what success means.
His music breaks through all of the garbage and hits your heart and soul with its raw emotions and melodic beauty. I challenge anyone who hates on Kanye to look through his discography, look past the image in the magazines, and really try to vibe with what he's saying and what he's feeling. Kanye is on some MJ meets Mozart shit. His collaboration with McCartney was out of this world and the upcoming 7 songs they have I predict will be equally astounding.
I have a theory anytime someone posts multiple paragraphs on youtube comment section, they care way to much about the subject, and cant be objective!
Joe Petruzzi I have a hypothesis that the fact you chose to express your "theory" here indicates you are a hater.

Give this song a couple more years.... and maybe people will finally understand the song and how powerful his music really is. This song really was released 10 years to early and I KNOW this song will come back.

2022 and this song still undefeated. Honestly his best song and it’s a shame it’s a deep cut.
this song is one of my favorites of his. fucking love every element he incorporated into it, it's still criminally underrated imo

Anyone that doesn't like Kanye West hasn't listened to this album. MBDTF as well as Late Registration are necessities for any and all hip-hop fans.
This album made me respect him as an artist and as a person. This album was beautiful, a total masterpiece, no kidding.
Very well said!! MBDTF and Late Registration are masterpieces...'Ye is a legend!
All his albums tell stories that mesh into a masterpiece... And then there's Watch the Throne
I like to think of Watch the Throne not as an anomaly amongst his discography, but rather as a victory lap celebrating the height of artistic achievement, passion, and emotion that went into MBDTF. Hence lyrics on Lift Off; "We gon’ take it to the moon, take it to the stars
How many people you know can take it this far?"
Kanye and Nas are my favorite hip-hop artists of all time. I am very glad that both of these legends are still putting out great music.
In conclusion, I feel like MBDTF changed hip-hop forever. Even before its release, the hype surrounding it influenced the whole hip-hop game and even the music game. Few hip-hop albums (including Illmatic) match the immense star power of MBDTF.
Man I love this song it really makes me feel something, like sad but hopeful at the same time ….. genius

man 3:10 when all those backing vocals come in brings tears to my eyes
This song is the most underappreciated one from the entirety of the album
Exactly. When I hear people talk about this album and the great songs part of it I always hear people forget to mention this. It’s so underrated
How can someone dislike this? Let alone 4 thousand people... this is the proof that Kanye's haters don't even listen to his music, they just hear about his antiques and the way he is portrayed by the media but don't really care about the music... you just disliked one of the most beautiful songs in human history because you don't like Kanye... k.

I hope all of you Kanye haters listen to some mumble rap and new Eminem songs and thinking that they're good.

This song, in my opinion, is one of the best album closers of all time. It's worth buying and listening to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy just to get to Lost in the Woods at the very end. It encapsulates the whole record - the pomp, the grandiosity, the euphoria and the introspection - in 4 minutes. It is sublime in every sense of the word.
His music has so much weight.. you can feel the dedication, the quality of his work. Unbelievable.
Never sleep on Kanye, this guy is the MJ of this generation
Mj told kanye to make 808 heartbreak that was his favorite album before he pass.
Kanye West + Bon Iver = GREATNESS.
The verse is so sweet. Describes when you love someone so much you don't even understand your own feelings and it hurts yet is bliss.
My Dark Twisted Fantasy (looking back on it) was easily his best album. With this song, Runaway, Hell of a Life, even Devil In A New Dress; Were all super good songs. The album truly expresses Ye’s song writing ability.
kanye west expresses exactly what is happening to him in his music. Materialistic thinking has confused him deeply, city lights, fast cars have blinded him. He is lost in the world, desperate, falling.
this is actually about kim kardashian him being lost without her... he talks about it.
Serena Crawford you do know this song was written before he and kim dated right.
Matthew Harris you do know he and kim were friends for years before they dated right..he said he made this for her
You probably the type to believe in the illuminati huh? he has been on record saying he made this for kim, dont be that person that tries to find "a deeper meaning" in songs, cuz there isnt always one and you look stupid lol
Thank you Joe ! joe johnson
No rap artist does this

Thank you! Exactly! He makes bodies of work like no other hip hop artist. He goes way way beyond rap. He's fr a modern day beatle
Artists don't come from necessarily sane backgrounds.
Sometimes i feel shame and regret about things i did or missed, And it's a heavy feeling.
And I listen to this song, and remember there is always a new start and a new chance for everyone.
Thanks Kanye :)
‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’
An artistic masterpiece of an album that tells a story about the beauty and dangers of fame and love presented in amazing ways with extremely realistic musical elements with pianos and orchestral sounds, and amazing usage of sampling small elements of some know/unknown 1960’s, 1970’s & early 1980’s old school songs to make something completely original. Also extraordinary mature subject matter used very well lyrically throughout the album. Whether you like Kanye or not this thing is thing is a masterpiece that won’t be forgotten.
Who's here in 2019? Kanye is the G.O.A.T
i don't listen to hip hop, but when i do...
Masterpiece!
I’m here
Haley Gore Kanye West is G.O.A.T
jesus is king lets goooo!!!
Who's here after discovering that Kanye originally wrote this as a poem for Kim?
guilty as charged 😂😂😂
Yaught
Me too
but this is not originally his song
not me but good I know xD
Kanye's the Tesla of our time, most of us won't know how great he is until decades later.
lol he's good but comparing him to Tesla is just silly
Tesla is the Tesla of our time
yes
@@darraghkelly1744 tesla isnt from our time
@@darraghkelly1744 he means Nikola Tesla
The last minute is just an incredible experience - there's so much complexity, chaos, and energy. It generates a number of emotions
You really came here to listen this old crap?? Better listen Gomunkul 6 he is trending now
@@SkFp9schlol bro trying to promote his friend's new crap song. I will pick this song over whoever that sh3t is.
Why do I only hear about Kanye being a douche? Now that I've checked out his music, I'm in love! I wish we listened to the music and not worry about the artist so much.
Welcome to the season of Ye
whats that?
London Pirtle lol it's a joke. Like "next time on " insert show here) ".
Yeezy season
our nature is divisive and we tend toward the destructive, tearing down and looking for reasons to do so. if i am persecuting you i don't look at my own issues and can leave them unaddressed which is less daunting. we want mercy for ourselves but reluctantly give it away. but i second what you said.
This is my one of my fave Kanye West song and i realized today this song had a music video....
Albertouz SAME.
Albertouz Me too.
Albertouz i did too LOL I was in iraq I think when he made this
You cant tell me this man isn't the greatest artist of our generation dont even try & argue with me period
why you guys have to be mean about it that is not nice
+rhaquell austin im just speaking pure honesty
Maynard James Keenan..
I’m 3 years late, but I have to break it to you. Ed Sheehan is better
@@frescokai160 😐.
This song is BEAUTIFUL.
This song gives me chills every fucking time. Such a perfect ending to a masterpiece as Runaway.
And I know he wrote it for Kim, but I think it has A LOT to do with his mom. Kanye is lost and stuck in a shallow world where he doesn't belong to, a world which took his beloved mother's life, that's why he wants her lover to run away with him from all this mess.
It's beautiful, powerful and tragic at the same time.
So much respect for this man.
Never understood why people think the ending of runaway was good, i mean I get he's saying he is being drowned out but it gets boring
