***** It's a play on words. Staff has two meaning. One is an actual physical staff, like the wooden one Moses had. The other meaning is like an office staff, people who work for you. He's saying God is his boss, meaning he is in God's staff. And he's pointing out even Moses had a staff, an actual wooden staff which he got from God
+MrGreyJeep Chance is claiming he has a direct-link with god. In the bible, Moses had to use his staff, given to him by god, to do anything. That is, Moses didn't have a direct link to god, he had his staff which was essentially Moses middle-management boss that was the intermediary between Moses and God. However, Chance does not have to rely on a 'staff' to do anything, because he is able to make use of his god-given gifts (music) without his own version of a staff.
yall on Crack. he was talking about Moses staff meaning the stick like thing he used to split the sea. also he meant staff as in management, sinxe god is his "boss" and god was also mosses boss.
I so agree. Maybe that's why Kanye left it out? The rest of the song does not make you smile. I get that it has to match the tone, but, why would you choose a bleah tone over Chance's praise?
Monsune I actually don't agree, I think the chance version of waves isn't as good as the one on the album, although chance in famous is probably the most important song ever
Tbh I like chances verse but I don't think it fits the mood of the song, maybe I'd think differently if it was CD quality but Kanyes is more darker while Chances is gospel
@daniel de la rosa nah fam. it's an L for you. The guy is right. Chance's version is much more gospel and light-er. Kanye's version is more toned down and "darker" Still love chance's version.
Daniel De La Rosa whatever it is, I just don't think it would've fit/flowed well. No matter how good it really was. but either way if he added it or not. Chance's verse is probably one of my favorite.
damn I know Ye is the artist and everything but when Chance's verse comes on and mellows out the song, that Sister Nancy drop contrasts it so well that it hits so much harder. I really wish they'd mix this down and release something official or at least bootleg but lord only knows Kanye would shut that down.
Not really. The song is one of the lead singles and has millions of plays which means millions of dollars and became a platinum record soooo.... yeah. Not an L.
Javier Logan kanye has some good bonus tracks like Diamonds from Sierra Leone, and part 2s like Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2 and remixes like his Tiimmy Turner remix even though he didn't make that.
nikole I know it was sarcasm. I was just stating ways he could of still put out that other version. Plus it'll help chance who then would likely wanna work with him again which in the long term also helps him.
I think ye took chance verse out because his album has a deep story to it and keeping that would take people away from the story he is trying to make. all truths the verse is fire only if we had a better audio version of it
I agree he shouldn't have cut it out... but he didn't really take an L... was still one of kanye's highest performing songs.. they never even mixed chances verse properly into the beat. He didn't just cut chance out last minute, he was cut way before release date
Dre Parris life of a musician brotha. Especially for the great musicians, there is a ton of stuff that they work on-- even entire songs-- that never actually make an album.
Made what? I didn't steal anything of yours if that's what you're implying. If that's not what you mean, then no, I haven't heard the one on soundcloud. I have my own edited version of waves on my channel though!
I don’t know if this is that actual meaning but to the verse of “I’ve been that way since my shirt had two polos”. In Chicago there is a place called foreman mills that sells cheap clothes including polo shirts that often were messed up by have two polo logos on them
Why do people keep saying this?? lol. He let Chance get him on Ultralight Beam, Nicki on Monster, Rick Ross with Devil in a New Dress just to name a few.
Darwin Ramirez but he still let nicki rock with that verse. dude was tight but i feel like this was less of a ego thing and more of a vibe. this song has a happy vibe towards the end, but the verse is mostly a harder vibe
Darwin Ramirez doubt that. Chance's verse is great but doesn't fit the vibe of the song. Plus why would he omit it for being too good when he let Chance stunt all over Ultralight Beam
im in love with my city, bitch I sleep in my hat.
such a simple but so dope line
chris zanotti
it's probably true he always wearin a hat😂
chris zanotti it's probably because you recognize it from his other song
chris zanotti it's in finish line/drown
it is a dope a line. I thought so when I first heard it in finish line and even now
Nothingnesks what other song
Learning Chance had such a big hand in some of Life of Pablo’s best tracks makes me smile, really hope he makes a comeback with his next album.
"God is my only boss, even Moses had a staff" what🔥🔥🔥🔥
Read that while he said it, that was dope

+Word Play It's a bit ironic how you don't care for the play on words in this verse
Chance's verse just makes me smile. it just makes you feel good. no explanation, it just make me happy
yes!!! Its so good man
Logan Smiley literally the way i feel about most chance verses
I so agree. Maybe that's why Kanye left it out? The rest of the song does not make you smile. I get that it has to match the tone, but, why would you choose a bleah tone over Chance's praise?
Yesss ur so right over here thriving just bc of his verse tbh I feel like chances famous and also waves should be released
It literally feels like a drug listening to that verse
this proves kanye needs to produce a whole chance album, just imagine that omg.
chris zanotti it'd be godly
They are making an album right now... Its gonna be called "A Good Ass Job"
Toxic Sharpshot that's probably never gonna come up
But he'd probably rip chance at the end lmao
Kanye didn't even produce this song, it was swizz
6 years later and i still come back to this still cant believe we dont have a HQ version of this
Same
Chance needs to be featured in every song ever
😂😂😂 Chill
Yaminramen For alot of songs tbh. I dont understand why kanye didnt use the waves version with chance. The one with breezy is actually so bad
Elvis G no
Monsune I actually don't agree, I think the chance version of waves isn't as good as the one on the album, although chance in famous is probably the most important song ever
Yaminramen big facts
why the fuck did kanye leave this out??
and chance isn't a self righteous douche
+christian cowart he dont wanna be signed tho..
Cause he's a jackass. Chance will probably drop it on his own anyway
+christian cowart he's his own producer. He doesn't want to be signed. There's interviews. Cool huh?
+christian cowart he doesnt want to be signed he is against labels and getting signed
i cant listen to the original anymore
this is too good
GeorgeP you fuck. this is the original verse from chance
well im talking about the original song from life of pablo bitch
GeorgeP I'm dying lmao dude got so mad
who , me or bj hatrak?
honesty bro 😭. it’s like i’m waiting for chance’s part to come up but i never does...
I'm not gonna lie, u mixed that pretty good bro, good job.
That flow that starts at 1:40 is probably my favorite part of his verse. Crazy how he just switches it up like that.
Ye needs to revive Chance's career after "The Big Day"....go ahead and produce his album 🔥🔥🔥🥵
Damn Chance made this song way better and we won't be able to hear it because of fucking copyright
nah the chance part was released by him when he recorded it in studio with his phone or something, the official version never got released.
you xan get the full song if you find it good just look lol
I know
thats not releasing a song lol dafk..
Dustin Martin Chances verse was good but it doesnt fit with the vibe of the song
1:58 best 5 seconds of the decade
This is pretty much musical perfection. Wish Chance would just release his version for real.
Chance should just release the studio version of his verse. none of the other shit like rhiannas chorus or anything
Or put these bars in another song cus its fire
Fire as hell . He needs people in his circle who see his complete potential. I thing Kanye be hating
Tbh I like chances verse but I don't think it fits the mood of the song, maybe I'd think differently if it was CD quality but Kanyes is more darker while Chances is gospel
L
@daniel de la rosa nah fam. it's an L for you. The guy is right. Chance's version is much more gospel and light-er. Kanye's version is more toned down and "darker"
Still love chance's version.
+School nights that was not gospel man that verse was way to good not to add man
Daniel De La Rosa whatever it is, I just don't think it would've fit/flowed well. No matter how good it really was.
but either way if he added it or not. Chance's verse is probably one of my favorite.
+School nights at least he recycled some of this verse on his song finish line
damn I know Ye is the artist and everything but when Chance's verse comes on and mellows out the song, that Sister Nancy drop contrasts it so well that it hits so much harder. I really wish they'd mix this down and release something official or at least bootleg but lord only knows Kanye would shut that down.
I mean shit that drop just becomes biblical with chance's verse in there.
Chances verse legit gives me chills for some reason it just makes me so happy
chances verse is so cold man, young GOAT
Yey Took a fat L for not including Chance's verse..smh
Daivd Otk hella fat l
Not really. The song is one of the lead singles and has millions of plays which means millions of dollars and became a platinum record soooo.... yeah. Not an L.
Daivd Otk not really I wouldve done the same thing
Breezy Bot nice essay.
Daivd Otk 2 sentences counts as an essay now? I must be writing books in English then. gtfo
His verse is awesome, I hate Kanye for not including it. It makes the song way better.
I understand why Kanye didn't put it in. It doesn't really fit with how the rest of the album sounds. The verse is awesome but it wasn't a good fit
fr. Chance's verse is all happy and Famous is talking about fame. plus i think the key is different.
Evolution Artwork I understand that it didn't fit but it's almost like bonus tracks, remixes or part 2 to songs don't exist.
Javier Logan kanye has some good bonus tracks like Diamonds from Sierra Leone, and part 2s like Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2 and remixes like his Tiimmy Turner remix even though he didn't make that.
nikole I know it was sarcasm. I was just stating ways he could of still put out that other version. Plus it'll help chance who then would likely wanna work with him again which in the long term also helps him.
Till this day it’s sad this wasn’t the original version would’ve been such a hard legendary song chance killed this ❤️
Every time I hear the album I go to this!
cant stop listening to this, chance's verse is perfect
The transition to the actual song from the interview isn't tht bad
Anyone still listening to this banger in 2021?
Of course :)
I think ye took chance verse out because his album has a deep story to it and keeping that would take people away from the story he is trying to make. all truths the verse is fire only if we had a better audio version of it
yourboylee you just made the best explanation of why he took it out lol
yourboylee this is really true
Kanye left Chance's verse out coz he would've gotten bodied so hard
Duncan Williams what do you mean?
MonkeyNutBros he means that chance would have made the song way better then Kanye
AKA Chance would've Renegaded this track.
Hahahahaha Renegade exactly!
Duncan Williams deadass lol Ye's ego realized he couldn't have someone better than him on his own track
He just edited the interview into the song😂
I tried to make it sound like it wasn't an interview. Gotta make the best out of what you're given!
+Sean Huang great job though
Cant deny though, it was done pretty damn well
+Sean Huang with Waves the interviewer was so frustrating lol so I cut around him
+Ben Raki what are you talking about.. it sounds like ass
I can't even listen to the original anymore without hearing Chances verse in my head bruh
"It just doesn't fit the creative lane of the song tho.."
-Crank Lucas
Crank Lucas lit af tbh
by Hoax yep. legit bars n beats and he's hilarious
well to be honest knaye didnt for the song
Something Clever XDDD
if only he had this same energy for his new albums
thank you been looking for the original version forever
yo ive been waiting for this version thank god for the person who made this 🙏🏻
only reason chance part taken off because its better then the real song . anyone agree!?
Thanks for uploading this, you have done the world a great service
4 years later I’m still waiting on the official release of this track
Chance went in, but then again when doesn't he?🤔🔥🔥
Even went in on a kit Kat commercial😂😂
Diante Floetic Lowe LMAOOO RIGHT 😂‼️
The big day
The big dar
Bruh he brought this song to a new level
This is the best
Rihanna's part too. They changed the pitch probably to avoid a copyright strike.
nah. its the best version we have.
I could say why chance was cut from this. it doesn't match with the tone and mood on the song at all. it's a good verse but not fo this song
People are missing this. What is so hard about common sense?
Quincy Productions idk I wish more people can see that tho instead of saying some dumb shit
Kevin Polo yeah it doesn't really match the theme of the song, I think he would've been good on waves tho
Fo sho hope he releases this apart of some other piece
This is true. He should remake it thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The most underated christian rapper ever, he's truly one of God's greatest creations ever.
WAVES please
It's already up! th-cam.com/video/hqpby8C6S1o/w-d-xo.html
awesome work thanks
now it's time to mix this in too: www.complex.com/music/2016/10/kanye-west-young-thug-original-version-famous
Riley Sykes are they making a young thug remix if so they GOTTA add this
Young thug is terrible
Why Kanye west cut this song out is fucking nuts
Garrett Reed he took a big ass L for it too.
I agree he shouldn't have cut it out... but he didn't really take an L... was still one of kanye's highest performing songs.. they never even mixed chances verse properly into the beat. He didn't just cut chance out last minute, he was cut way before release date
I can understand why Kanye cut the verse out, it don't match the vibe of the track at all
A Name ikr! It was amazing but doesn't fit the vibe of this specific song
THANK YOU , THIS WAS OFF.. KANYES VERSE WAS WAY BETTER....
Kasunga Mwimanzi not at all better, just fit the vibe better.
maybe your right but even though it may not match the vibe people would of prefered him in the song
Which is why it's no crime to leave his version off of the album! But Ye does need to release the original
This was so beautiful omg. It makes me want to cry.
My Baby never fails to make me Happy 😘❤
god bless you for making this
Still listening to this summer of 2021
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!!!!
Thank you for making this!!
a collab album between them would be crazy
I love that it's just him with his phone lmao
wym
the audio quality in Chance's part sounds like him on his phone.
MemeMasta K it is. lol
Kanye took a major L for cutting this verse
imma watch this vid 10 times just to get it to 1 million
id be pissed if i was chance all that work to never be listened to
Na cus he still had his part in the production of the album so i'd be happy anyway. The bars in famous are just stupid, killed it.
Dre Parris life of a musician brotha. Especially for the great musicians, there is a ton of stuff that they work on-- even entire songs-- that never actually make an album.
Were all listening to it aren’t we? And appreciating it just as much
Doesn't the part at 1:46 when Chance says "I'm in love with my city bitch I sleep in my hat" kinda sound like Finish Line/ Drown
from Coloring Book?
Danny Hydarali yeah he took that line from the demo version of famous that you hear here and used it in the other song
this shit is merged so nicely for not being recorded together originally
Goosebumps
damn Chance 😆🔥 I'm proud
He should perform a cover version of this with his verse on tour
Have you heard the Waves version with chance on Soundcloud?
I made it. Same pic and everything. You did a great job with Famous tho. Props man!
Made what? I didn't steal anything of yours if that's what you're implying. If that's not what you mean, then no, I haven't heard the one on soundcloud. I have my own edited version of waves on my channel though!
Sean Huang oh no of course not. I guess I did the same thing you did. I wasn't accusing you
Sean Huang Id done it with waves and posted it to soundcloud. I was just surprised it was the same pic. It's cool. Sorry if that sounded sarcastic
Oh okay, no problem man! Just wanted to clarify. Link me to your version?
I don’t know if this is that actual meaning but to the verse of “I’ve been that way since my shirt had two polos”. In Chicago there is a place called foreman mills that sells cheap clothes including polo shirts that often were messed up by have two polo logos on them
Kanye used to rock 2 polos when he debuted, some ppl in the city wore it like him for a minute
I thought he was talking ab the polo assn. which is the polo with 2 riders of the horse idk tho
having this on repeat
do this for waves
I agree!
Already done check
Damn this is straight FIRE!!!🔥🔥🔥
So many people hate on Kanye for "leaving the best verses out" but he gives the featured artists the beats to create with!
Yo this is fresh!
Kanye just can't take being out done on his own track 😂
Brown Cow ultralight beams was all Chance though
Brown Cow Good verse but it doesn't fit the song. Sounds off
Why do people keep saying this?? lol. He let Chance get him on Ultralight Beam, Nicki on Monster, Rick Ross with Devil in a New Dress just to name a few.
I read the description lmao and I'm just happy I heard the verse thanks boss
this slaps way harder than any song on the big day
yeah there it is
Someone put this on Soundcloud
its already on there m8
ItzMoney link?
yea fr
link?
nvm the one i saw got removed for copyright...sorry my dudes
A beat shouldnt allowed to be this cold
Respect the way you edited it👏🏾👏🏾
the things I would for his hard drive
Kanye didn’t add it because he didn’t want to get bodied by chance twice in one album
Just didn't fit right
Man Chance the Rapper killed this!!
Been looking for this!
Holy crap why'd he leave this out? this is dope
Cuz Kanye robbed it lol
kanye west was like no no no no yes... lol
Liam Avo too jolly for the mood of the song
Champion Of Nerds bro your references a video that chance have
they need to release this version
I've been waiting for someone to edit this... thank u
How are we almost 5 years later, and this version still hasn't leaked??
1:15 so i can skip to it when I replay it
Put this on SOUNDCLOUD PLEASE !!
This mans chance is putting himself in elite company
I wish I had time to bless people like this in my DAW
i like this one instead of the original
This is the original.. Kanye cut out his verse.
Ryan you know what he means
this would easily be one of my favorite songs of all time if ye just kept chances part..
somebody PLEASE do a whole chance song like this one verse oh mygodthiswasgooddddd
This verse needs to be released, idc what song but I need this shit in studio quality
Just realized why Chance's verse was never produced. Kanye's been having beef with Harriet Tubman since 1849 💀
His verse was too good he didn't include it. Remember how angry Kanye was when nicki basically stole the show wit her monster verse lls.
Darwin Ramirez but he still let nicki rock with that verse. dude was tight but i feel like this was less of a ego thing and more of a vibe. this song has a happy vibe towards the end, but the verse is mostly a harder vibe
Akir Stuart but everyone knows Kanye loves nothing more than Kanye but yeah I doubt it too.
Darwin Ramirez doubt that. Chance's verse is great but doesn't fit the vibe of the song. Plus why would he omit it for being too good when he let Chance stunt all over Ultralight Beam
may your soul be blessed for this.
sounds like kanye didn't wanna get outshined
T Nitram ur ignorant he had 1 line which was "Gods my only boss, even Moses had a staff" his verse would've easily outshined Kanye's verse
Anyone from insta 🙌😂
daquan
Ahahahaha yeah!
JanK Felicia I fux with that Daquan account
THIS IS AMAZING I HAVE DISCOVERED PROOF THAT GOD IS REAL
I keep coming back to this video everyday hoping that there will be a HQ release of it.
it's crazy how much better this is than the TLOP version
