- WHICH/ONE?
This is a concept that has fascinated me since The Life of Pablo came out in 2016 - originally titled So Help Me God (allegedly). It initially looked like Kanye's most messy, disorganized, and ill-conceived album yet. While that remains partially true, hindsight has revealed that The Life of Pablo was much more intentional and altruistic than we gave it credit for when it released. Join me as we discuss Kanye's personal journey of self discovery on this project, as he figures out who he wants to be.
What do you think of this record? Let's talk about it in the comments!
Thanks so much for watching. Every subscriber/viewer means a lot to me, and I appreciate every like and comment. Let me know what you think about the video or the album and I'd love to have a discussion in the comments! Music is meant to be discussed to assimilate ideas and to grow as people.

I am a Christian and student and I made this channel when I was in high school. I started this channel because I love talking about music (specifically hip hop) and given that the genre seems to be going downhill, I want to be part of the community that preserves the expectation of great music and dissecting what makes a beautiful record. Dealing with a lack of friends to discuss these matters with, I hoped to start my own community that loves music just as I do, as well as to provide a unique perspective as a follower of Christ that also appreciates this community. I appreciate everyone who watches and I am truly happy to see anybody comment their thoughts on a project I talk about.
Put "ULTRALIGHT BEAM" as your comment if you read the description!
As always, thank you very much for watching and taking time out of your day to discuss music with me, God bless. Isaiah 55:8-12
I think one of Kanye’s greatest abilities as an artist is his ability to portray different perspectives and ideas that might clash but in a way that makes everything feel cohesive. He’s the ultimate glue I feel like
“The ultimate glue” that’s actually a nice way to put it
The gorilla glue💪😤
@@Saint_Amari888maybe just say super glue or something😂
@@KingstonDopefr😂
That’s a very astute perspective on Ye, I love it
I love seeing Kanye speak. Especially in the soft spoken manner displayed here. Some of his best interview clips are during his 2013 rants, and though classic - this was great to see him simply explain his creative process for an album that influenced many artists since.
wait a minute wait a dammm minute. you thought kanye was talking about himself 💀💀💀💀 7:22
I thought I was the only one who picked that up that homie said that. Thank God I'm not going crazy
Really excited about this! I’ve been waiting for a new video of yours, they’re really high quality and interesting! thanks for putting in work :)
Great video as always dude! This one was really cool as I knew next to nothing about the conceptual aspect of TLOP. Still very surprising that your vid’s don’t get recognized enough even though you have top tier editing and writing. Keep up the awesome work!
These comments are so important, you guys have no idea. Your encouragement is appreciated more than you know, my dear friend
@@JacksonsMusicPalate No problem dude! You make great content for us. It’s the least we can do
I teared up at the end of this listening to Saint Pablo
I think this is my favorite album of all time
I love your explanations of these albums, thank you for forcing me to think about the music I consume
My favorite thing about this tracklisting is the 3 track run of Freestyle 4, I Love Kanye, and Waves. Freestyle 4 is something that's industrial and experimental that not a lot of people are gonna like, so when I Love Kanye comes on he's talking about how the people who don't like Freestyle 4 sound. Then at the end of the track he laughs and Waves starts playing, arguably the best beat he's ever made. It's just funny
Nobody is arguing that waves is Kanye’s best beat at all. I wouldn’t even consider it top 50 Kanye beat material let and it ain’t even the best of off Tlop. What are you actually on about, like you can’t seriously think the beat is that good.
@@Prodbyjah464 it's easily top 5 in his discography of released material. Everything about it is beautiful and perfect. There's not a single thing wrong with it.
@@Griimmyyy just because there’s nothing wrong with it doesn’t mean there isn’t anything particularly special about it, I can think of ten flawless Kanye beats that are all better. Devil in a new dress, power, I wonder, stronger, we major, black skinhead, blood on the leaves, paranoid, no more parties in La.
@@Prodbyjah464 Kanye didn't produce DIAND and it wouldn't matter If he did because Waves is better produced
@@Griimmyyy but it’s not tho, ask literally anyone and they’d say that diand is better, like waves is such an abysmal song I’m suprised it even gets mentioned
yeezus definitely tells a cohesive story lmao
this album doesnt get the credit it deserves as one of the best hip hop albums of all time imo
7:20 he was talking about a model how on earth did you think he was talking about himself
Fr
I clearly misspoke guys. It wasn't integral to the ideas I was building on at that point in the script so I made a mistake and put Kanye instead of "a model"
Just look at Kanye’s “love songs” or songs where he mentions romance in a way only he can:
Runaway - basically the whole song, the sample choice for the tone of the song, the Chris Rock outro
Bound 2 - the entire song and video; any other artist recreates this and it’s corny
30 hours - the concept of the song, but specifically the line “Then I make myself a smoothie. Then me and wifey make a movie”
Hell of a life - again, the whole song “I think I just fell in love with a pornstar”
Many examples where Kanye conveys his style of love in a way that only he can… and in the meantime creating hits with classic tag lines
Man I rlly love these vids I jus wish I had more to binge
Dear Jackson, Great video. But you have a typo. a mistake. You mentioned FAITH under Picasso too. 7:57
That first clip...I always said we lost him after 808s.
Nice video man
back wit a cold vid. thats wassup
loved your video!!! WHERE DID U GET THE SHIRT THOUGH PLS I NEED IT
ULTRALIGHT BEAM
yeezus is a concept album btw the character is yeezus lol
I liked how you brought up this album involving three different personas that all share the name of Pablo. If I recall correctly, an earlier track listing of TLOP had the songs split into three acts. I wonder if Kanye did that for that same reason.
Bro yeezus is conceptual and does tell a cohesive story, wat h middle 8’s videos on it or listen to the dissect podcast if you don’t believe me.
He’s basically calling out Drake.
this video title gives big “how tyler the creator solved the school shooting epidemic” vibes
7:22 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅
JIK is overhated.
W jackson
If I’m ranking Kanye albums TLOP and Yeezus are bottom two. Both had moments but too scattered.
