Kanye West is an absolute Legend. That was the first time that I saw him. I was 13 years old and I was sat in front of my tv in Portugal waiting for pink floyd when this guy appeared. It was an amazing experience for a portuguese kid that didn’t understand a word. I was mesmerized by him. I grew, and kanye grew too giving me almost every year the same feeling. Now we have “Jesus is King” and we know (now) that we were blessed! Thank You Kanye West!
Eu pensava que era a única a ter visto isto em directo na RTP e de ter escrito o nome do Kanye West porque se ele era assim ao vivo, queria saber se era igual ou melhor na gravação! Ele vai ser o 2pac da nossa geração. Mas vivo. Vá. 🤣
I was here at this ....and the crowd was caught a lil off gaurd.... Kanye had just dropped one album so he wasn't as big as he was yet ...so the crowd took a second then processed it
Kanye West is truly one of the best things that happened to mainstream music. Since the beginning of his career, he was already pushing boundaries of hip-hop and pop music, with mixing hip-hop/soul with classical music as in Late Registration. We have to remember that.
All good lines..." If your stripper name is Portia and you get tips from many men than your fat friend her nickname is minivan." Is next fuckn level tho
Kanye is the Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, Jimmi Hendrix, David Bowie, Michael Jackson of our generation. I can't think of another artist from the last 15 years who has the discography, critical aclaim, and mainstream influence of Kanye. It really sucks that because of his fuck up's most people who haven't listened to his music in depth see him as a joke now.
@@kin263 man it’s not his politics at all. A lot of people choose to hold on to Kanye’s public outbursts (George Bush doesn’t care about black people, Taylor Swift) and his manic moments (his reactions towards paparazzi, when he called himself a god etc.), such that they let it cloud their ability to appreciate his music.
@@THEVIDEOARBITRATORthey thought he was egotistical but had talent, they didn’t believe he could make it in the rap game especially considering gangstar rap was the most popular thing at the time. How ever once they saw him drop back to back classics “the dropout trilogy” that’s when they fully gained faith in him. It was like that until the Taylor swift incident
Ladies and gentlemen, before you is greatness. Be grateful you got to exist to witness this man produce, perform, write and distribute this fire music!
When he talks about Jay, 'Right here stands a man with the power to make a diamond with his bare hands'. I know Hov always showed his rocnation sign up in the sky with his bare hands... lyrics go deep!
Voice, passion, no backup dancers, no crazy lights, just him, some sick violins, a track and his powerful voice. 2024 needs to recognize Ye’s greatness, this man was no cane to the industry, he is just Ye.
When I was younger I liked the part where they talk about diamonds (not natively english-speaking). Listening to this now, with a lot more exposure to the culture, makes me realize why people call Kanye a genius. He certainly is an artistic genius. Dope song.
Listen to the remix and watch the video. It'll make more sense. This version doesnt talk too much of it but, the idea for the song, the remix and the video is all about the African blood diamond trade
The (live) violins in the background are just..... not from this earth!!... 🙏 🙏 They really put the song on another, even higher level than it already is on, imo!! 😯 😯

Bu adam ne yaparsa yapsin benim suan yasamamin nedenlerinden biri bu adamdir kulaklarim beynim her anlamda cosuyorsa bu adam sayesindedir shakespeare gibi adam olmasinin yani sira bir yerde de gercekten bu isin babalarindan biridir
I think Kanye must of been a new or relatively unfamiliar act here or maybe not expected but I love his belief in himself and how he started screaming to make them listen to him. Notice the contrast from the beginning of the performance to the middle to the end. He commanded them to get their attention. I love his self-belief.
When niggas used to spit full 16 bar versus wit no dub tracks or adlibs backing them up 🤯

And no hype man either. That was a lesson in breathe control. Ever3gave me goosebumps. Miss that Kanye
Golden age of Beatmaking ❤

He has it all - the beats, the poetry, the imagination, the soul. Once in a lifetime talent.

the greatest line iver ever heard “Vegas on acid seen through saint laurent glasses”
Let's be honest this will keep going down as one of the best stage performance of all times
The late orchestration version is even better imo that whole concert is incredible
One of the best stage performances ive ever seen
This was Michael Jackson level performance energy right here 🤯 Kanye used his voice and words like no other.
Tbh kanye is next to MJ level. Nobody wants to say it but he really is. Kanye west is a hiphop / music legend
@@okaydmuzikkk6771 fax
True
@@okaydmuzikkk6771 the greatest rapper ever
Mj usually didn't perform live
This man is possessed by greatness when hes on the stage.
extremely underrated performance
This live performance is better than his damn studio version. Ha that’s amazing. Kanye is one hell of a producer and you can see his passion.
Kanye gave everything he had in this performance, yet the crowd showed no energy at all.
Most people there weren’t there for him,
it's Live 8, plus I am a Kanye fan and even I didn't know this song was out yet then
I have to say I'm a die hard Kanye fan but this is probably the greatest performance I've ever seen. The energy is unreal. What a living legend
I was here at this ....and the crowd was caught a lil off gaurd.... Kanye had just dropped one album so he wasn't as big as he was yet ...so the crowd took a second then processed it
this is just screaming, og shouting, not rapping !
U can contextualise how good this is by imagining how crazy people would get if this happened today.
100%
What an amazing performance. This man is the most talented musician in history

We have to remember that.
I remember the time I couldn't afford a Ford escort or even a four track recorder ooohweeee
So it’s only rite I let the top drop on the drop top porcha for myself that’s important
I was sick about awards, couldn't nobody cure me.
Only pkayer that got robbed and kept all his jewellery
All good lines..." If your stripper name is Portia and you get tips from many men than your fat friend her nickname is minivan." Is next fuckn level tho
Finna play this song odee when I make it
@@mickmarty2082 Porsche(the car) not portia. Pronounced "por-sha"
One of the worlds best LIVE Rappers Ever. He sounds absolutely play worthy live, others just make noise. The man left a mark
Even the cello girl at 2:38 is goddamn Kanye dropping some heat
The violins on this are nasty!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of my favorite songs by him!
That crowd was so lame!!?? Kanye slayed that shit!

Absolutely on point great orchestra aswell
These kids will never understand the 🔥🔥🔥🔥 this man produced.
Yes
This man’s goated
Lyricist at one of his finest hours...This is not up for discussion POINT BLANK
Wooooo what a genius!! This made me want to fly to Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 lol
As a Sierra Leonean the country is beautiful you won’t regret it
I can’t believe I was only 2 years old when this happened wow
this is literally greatness
Why is the crowd so dead? It looked like they were sitting at the beginning of the video?
That's philly for ya
@john paul It’s a Live 8 concert, not a Kanye concert in 2005. Half of the audience was there for someone else.
Why ? Because they are American.
@@bpfromowc it would literally be the opposite tho

Kanye West 👑👑
best era of kanye
The fact he brought all these sounds together on top of this rhyme is just fucking whooooooooosh the most amazing producer rapper talent of all time
Look at that. Kanye at his prime, rapping his soul at one of his greatest hits. Miss this Kanye
This ain’t his best song but ion if he’s ever gone harder
this performance is everything. i dont care about the crowd.
What a performance !!!
When I was younger I liked the part where they talk about diamonds (not natively english-speaking). Listening to this now, with a lot more exposure to the culture, makes me realize why people call Kanye a genius. He certainly is an artistic genius. Dope song.
The times that Kanye had violin orchestra and Shirley Bassey instead of hypeman and playback
masterpiece.
yo literally goosebumps
Oh a thing of beauty
This is just sublime.
Mr West, this song intrigues me.... for I'm a Sierra Lenean.
sweet pie more or less, it was the most prominent in the 80s and 90s while Sierra Leone was still going through civil war
Listen to the remix and watch the video. It'll make more sense. This version doesnt talk too much of it but, the idea for the song, the remix and the video is all about the African blood diamond trade

Back when rappers actually performed and didn't have the track playing in the background helping them.
Killed it swiftly
The (live) violins in the background are just..... not from this earth!!... 🙏 🙏 They really put the song on another, even higher level than it already is on, imo!! 😯 😯
Brutal!!!
The best performance from the Philadelphia stage of live 8. Hands Down.
2022 , who still believes Kanye is king of his game ?
If you've seen Free Larry Hoover concert. The Ye is still is the King, The GOAT
2022 Damn Ye that performance was soulful
Quality!!! Genius
kanye is a genius. There is no denial here!
For me, this is where I was always seeing what Kanye was doing. I lost some track afterwards, and picked it up with Jesus is King. Kanye is amazing .
This was a amazing live performance
NAMASTE to "Live 8" !! !! !! !!
Thank you very much for "sharing" this good soundquality video !!!
EPIC ... I saw this "Live in TV" ... and Kanye for my very 1st time ...
i got gooseflesh by this "powerful" performance, a wise man ... that time ...
and it is still THRILLING me, and bring my to tears, everytime I´m listening it.
Lyrics by him ...
(1:24 ... "The .... ? ... is still alive - everytime i ... ? ... ran ???"
(1:47 ...the international assholes)
My lyrics idea ...
"The system - a morbid lobby - - - (the international assholes)
is still alive - tall ...
had begun their pervert hobby
fucked up us all ...
everytime - everywhere - everyplace - - i ran -
i see in peoples face - small -
This kind of Human Race ...
try living tall, until they will fall ...
into their own Grave
More then 15 years ...
had passed the Earth,
still the same old fears ...
while giving little Birth
still problems to survive - LIVE - in 2019 ....
Poverty is ....ZERO pretty ...
it is a pity ...
is a THOUSANDS pities ...
in a lot of cities "
:o(
... so ... this THRILL ... is BRAVE
"word aggro/acrobatic" by a HERO,
not a SLAVE ...
i do hope so, he isn´t nowadays ! - !

This Powerfull 🔋
These guys truthfully are talented.let them enjoy the fruits
The shirley bassey sample makes this song so much more golden
