this is my first time ever even seeing this def poetry jam and i seen a comment on ig that mentioned bittersweet poetry n here i am watching it right away, bittersweet poetry one of my fav kanye tracks idk why its not graduation on spotify
This old Kanye was just filtered by his mom. The new Kanye is unfiltered and does whatever old Kanye woulda done without his mom’s advice. Like messing with the Kardashians.
I feel that. Kanye was amazing, with a great sense of humor, and spoke TRUTH!!! Not sure what happened to Kanye. I miss this funny, intellectual and thoughtful Kanye!!!
That last one was beautiful i didn't know kayne was that good at poetry though I love how he incorporated the singing it was very bittersweet and touching
It was one of the first songs he made for late registration with John Mayer called Bittersweet Poetry, he cut it because it didn’t fit the album. He changed it a bit and then released it as a Japanese exclusive on graduation. It’s on UA-cam somewhere, I’d recommend it
So weird but everything he said became true. He became the future of hiphop and when he said he wanted to be the best dressed rapper, he has the most recognizable hiphop clothing brand. Can’t hate the hustle he became everything he said he will be.
U dnt see how your lies are affecting me U dnt see how life was suppose to be And never let a nigga get that close to U aint crack up to be what u were suppose to be I felt this
@@jeromeperson440 nah man its call "bittersweet poetry" this track was only release in japan as a bonus track for graduation, ua-cam.com/video/35c8IW0vsSE/v-deo.html here is a link to the track if you wanna check it out :)
This to me is like a lesson about wishing for fame. He came out so fresh, carefree and humourous in the first clip. By the last he seems bitter and angry
. Usually when you say Regardless, it's in unison with an asshole. He's a piece of shit who got played by a weird family. Probably hates that, and is super fucking weird now. Maybe he's warped,? An idiot?
“Two words, Chi-Town, raised me, crazy So I live by two words, "Fuck you, pay me" Screaming, "Jesus, save me" You know how the game be, I can't let 'em change me 'Cause on Judgment Day, you gon' blame me Look, God, it's the same me”
He said the future of hip hop he wasn't lying
Agreed. Until the dude put on a MAGA hat. Weird... definitely some shit going on in his head.
@@SteveSmith-un3fx dude he’s already addressed that he doesn’t support Trump anymore and he’s literally bipolar :/
@@116mp4 manic depression will have u running for president and not even realize
@@SteveSmith-un3fx kanye has at least 4 of the top 20 albums of all time. His political affiliation doesn't change that.
@@SteveSmith-un3fx he’s said multiple times he never supported trump’s policies, even donated to hillary’s campaign
I promise you. People like this only come around once in a lifetime. The greatest to ever do this music thing. Love em to death
Fr🙏❤
I’m
Amen
Amen to that, Kanye West is the greatest musician ever.
He's pretty great (artistically)
“Kanye’s just important as Michael Jordan was to the NBA when he was scorin’, Ralph Lauren was boring before I wore him”
I love how "bitter sweet" poetry was straight out of his heart, you could just feel it!
Yup
this is my first time ever even seeing this def poetry jam and i seen a comment on ig that mentioned bittersweet poetry n here i am watching it right away, bittersweet poetry one of my fav kanye tracks idk why its not graduation on spotify
They didn’t even realize they were getting a Kanye concert right here
Back pack Ye was something else
i miss old ye, man
@@theshadowninjaaa he hasn’t gone anywhere, he is still the person in the video. He’s just going through a thing called Life.
We’re all human
@@jelly5289this didn’t age that well
That’s why he’s the goat, makes sick songs but when you listen to the lyrics like this they all have meaning
a true artist. the way he is expressing himself through the music is art at the highest level
The “he killed that bitch they gave him 25 years” line LOL guess that one never made it to the album
Damn we need Def poetry slam back
they say they miss the old kanye, there is no old kanye.
Tell ‘em
Yup
He been saying he wanted his name to just be “Ye” since 2002. At that moment I realized there was no old Kanye.
This old Kanye was just filtered by his mom. The new Kanye is unfiltered and does whatever old Kanye woulda done without his mom’s advice. Like messing with the Kardashians.
@@CulEdz not true at all. He is mentally broke now due to the death of his mother, his mental illness, and exploitation from others.
i was hella scared when this got deleted but thank god this one is here
The most inspirational person in my life
"I met kanye West im never goin to fail"
John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
Your parents looking at this comment crying with snot out they nose
@@dipribriggs2920 lol besides my mom😂
@@briannk3720 Jesus loves everyone. Unless they disagree. Then fuck them.
Man this makes me so sad watching this in 2022. Kid was a one of a kind generational artist.
*is, and will always be
Still is
Same man. I use to love practicing poetry and this is one of my favorites ever.
I feel that. Kanye was amazing, with a great sense of humor, and spoke TRUTH!!! Not sure what happened to Kanye. I miss this funny, intellectual and thoughtful Kanye!!!
Even more so. Jews = …….
“Imma be the best dressed rapper”
…followed by laughter.
Ye is such a big part of my life, i have gotten so much outta his art that i will forever be grateful to him.

@@paul-scanlan oooo thanks can't wait to check it out
@@paul-scanlan yeah, no. it’s called “all falls down” it’s on his debut album called the college dropout. You’re out here just making shit up haha
@@meya3521 they’re talking about the last poem not the first one
@@meya3521 yikes
Peole didn't even peep it. His first appearance, he didn't have a bag. Second appearance he had a small bad. Third appearance he had a big bag
Damn, time flys, I remember this Kanye, the best Kanye, the realest Kanye, the most raw Kanye, I could watch this all day.
Fr
PREACH!!!!
So weird but everything he said became true. He became the future of hiphop and when he said he wanted to be the best dressed rapper, he has the most recognizable hiphop clothing brand. Can’t hate the hustle he became everything he said he will be.

"Made us hate ourself to secure they wealth" 🔥
im getting chills, at some point these were just lines simple poems from a young west and then he pitched hiphop changing tracks through poetry
i guess this is bittersweet poetry
genuinely one of the hardest punchlines ive ever heard
Came here from his documentary and rapped every word to this. Greatest artist of all time. Not rapper. ARTIST.
Nah Fr tho. All falls down is 100% memorized now. Fantastic poetry. GOAT artist imo too
🙌🏽
Who else watching this after watching Jeen-yuhs on Netflix?
I watch this video like once a month. Kanye is creative genius
And then a bi polar racist.
Found this from Jeen-Yuhs and all I can say is wow. Give kanye his flowers !!!
Me too
When he came back the third time and the audience was cheering that was amazing
U dnt see how your lies are affecting me
U dnt see how life was suppose to be
And never let a nigga get that close to
U aint crack up to be what u were suppose to be
I felt this
I think we all miss College Dropout and Late Registration Kanye
Kanye still that
I got hooked with my late registration CD album blasting in my ride’s 6CD player.
All those crazy years ago
We love Kanye in all his phases and stages 🖤
Why am I only now seeing this.. absolutely love it.
When his song can real life be poems
She couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus😭😭😭😭😭
that was hard, lol
god i love kanye then now and forever
Greatets series of TED Talks ever.
The bittersweet poetry part is sooooooooooooooooo underrated.
They need to bring this back YESTERDAY
Poetry slams ?
@@ellanablacher4539 nah. Racist rants.
Even til this day…this is the TOP verses that still stand undefeated. He was dropping gems 💎. His album 💿 is still in my top 5 ijs 🤷🏽♂️
5:16 i love this dude's reaction
He is greatness... He has brought back educated music and is poetically impossible to match. Much much more could be said.
The third one is brand new
“Brand new”
@@jeromeperson440 haha I see why you might think that - but it isn't :) it's from 2007
@@faulyf the song is called brand new
@@jeromeperson440 nah man its call "bittersweet poetry" this track was only release in japan as a bonus track for graduation, ua-cam.com/video/35c8IW0vsSE/v-deo.html here is a link to the track if you wanna check it out :)
@@leozhang7596 he must’ve used the same lyrics on brand new then because it’s on there
I genuinely feel like the money never changed ye, he’s always been like this
what an artist!
The Kanye we all love and miss
This to me is like a lesson about wishing for fame. He came out so fresh, carefree and humourous in the first clip. By the last he seems bitter and angry
Bittersweet is so much better in this form. The production takes away from the words so much. Powerful in this delivery here.
Regardless of anything you can't discredit the goat!
. Usually when you say Regardless, it's in unison with an asshole. He's a piece of shit who got played by a weird family. Probably hates that, and is super fucking weird now. Maybe he's warped,? An idiot?
kanye west is the greatest poet of all time
I disagree
I disagree, but he's definitely great.
I disagree but he is def amongst the greatest musicians of all time
I agree, he is the greatest
wow what a stretchhhhhhhhhh
I miss this dude
i would pay my mothers life savings just for this kanye too be in the same room as modern ye for 2 hours
The way the cheers changed within one year…
I saw the first piece. Paused at 3:10 SO BRILLIANT 👏 YES YES YESSSS
Now this is better than Gold. I love this.
the goat. greatest artist in the past 100 years!!!!
Who else said “We want prenup! YEAH!”
“WE WANT PRENUP! YEAH!” 🙋🏾♂️
Feels different after episode 2
Kanye Goatier than a Goat
ye is just the goat
I love this Kanye West
Miss the old Kanye
The straight to the go kanye
Chop up the soul Kanye
Set on his goals kanye
This young man gonna blow up one day
I love this man 😭
2023 the talking about Kayne west is insane! Common!
Love him ♥️
Yasiin aka MOS DEF, at (3:06), his reaction was legit a manifestation of the street respect kanye just got from him.
Rest in Peace Donda!!!!
Miss you kanye....come back 😢
He was really a product of Chicago.
Regardless of what’s going on, he will always be the GOAT! #IstandWithYe 😎
We change... Still miss him though... Both thoughts can exist interchangeably.
Bittersweet
kanye like 2 pac in the talking shit aspect shitttt makes me wanna talk shit now
So dope
Anyone still remember this Kanye?
*Huge sigh*
“Two words, Chi-Town, raised me, crazy
So I live by two words, "Fuck you, pay me"
Screaming, "Jesus, save me"
You know how the game be, I can't let 'em change me
'Cause on Judgment Day, you gon' blame me
Look, God, it's the same me”
Seeing him tomorrow in Paris. Chillsss
Wow😲what a promising young upcoming artist! se seems like the future of modern rap. hope he becomes the hip hop face in the 2010s!
Net. 6.6 Billion.
Make black history every day 💯
@@FrenchCocoa369 he don’t need a month 💯
A legend
I'm entirely convinced Kanyes life is a carefully crafted satire
“He killed that bitch”😂
This was a cool dude
Love that ending
Self conscious aka all falls down
The five that dislike don’t even count because y’all negative
There’s no such thing as an old Kanye, it’s just Kanye 😂😂
❤❤❤❤ love this man.

Look where he is now 😎🙏🏾💐🇸🇸
