As a huge fan of Kanye West, this is as if Ye has passed on and this is a tribute. The chills I get thinking how great it would be to have Kanye back on these soulful beats. GREAT WORK. Peace from South Africa!!!!
This is probably my favorite cookin' soul project ever. I just find myself always coming back and playing the whole thing through. Thank you cookin' soul.
The way the beat entered and synced with Ye's bars on "Brand Nu" is one of the reasons why many years later I keep coming back to this mix. Just impeccable
I've watched this video over 25 times, not even close to get bored of it- that's how fucking amazing this mix is. Wish Kanye would see this masterpiece.
Cookin Soul NEVER disappoints!!!! Thank you for showing this brotha in a positive light, so much negative surrounding him, funny thing about that is I dont know any Kanye song that's glorifying anything negative....This man had the heart to speak his mind in an industry full of robots and puppets...remember that.
I gotta be honest, I stopped being a fan of him for a while because of some of the stuff he was glorifying. But now he's claimed to have found GOD and have been newly saved, so I'm putting those things to bed now. I haven't been following him much at all since he was saved, so I can't speak on any of that
>This man had the heart to speak his mind in an industry full of robots and puppets well said my man. thats why i personally like him more than any other celebrity of his caliber. its cause he is NOTHING like other celebrities i've seen which are, as you said, robots. he talks his shit, says what is on his mind and doesn't take jackshit from no one. thats goals right there.
Damn bro, interesting project you cooked up! Very skillfully done, the way you produced those beats around his vocals, flows perfectly! Great work man!
Been a Kanye fan since I was a freshmen in HS, now I sit here after just turning 30 the way he made me feel through those formative stages of my life, I’ll forever be grateful! That’s why I’ll never say fuck Ye, despite some of the controversy! Brooo College Dropout-Graduation was the soundtrack to my entire hs experience, how dope is that?
Possibly he knows too much, he just doesn't know how to handle it, how to conceive it, how to express it cause its different, too foreign to him he just sounds insane cause he can't put it in the right words
My respect for Ye has increased even more through this video. Dude is effortless and the fact his freestyles were ALL on the beat...incredible. People if you want to succeed you have to eat, breathe, sleep, shit and live for your art. I’m saving for my MPC LIVE II
@@Bruceillest101 the man has been in a medical decline. Cut him some slack. Poor man had a really difficult time when his mother passed plus he's being influenced by the company he's around which isn't good company
I would like to mention that it's not a freestyle, it's his verse from Digital Girl - Jamie Foxx. I'd listen to it over there if I were you, sounds much better with the original backing.
I still believe this dude is a genius... despite everything... He's a genius and a important pioneer of our generation, a pivotal piece. When its all said nd done this will be a known fact "Damn ye it'd be stupid to diss you, even your superficial raps are super- official"👌
you cant seperate the madness from the man, if he wasnt crazy he wouldnt be a good musician, its no point saying it would be good if he wasnt crazy. if he wasnt crazy he wouldnt be talented or well known
He definitely is a truly visionary creative being. A legit 'artist'. He's human and sometimes his vision doesn't translate IRL and people misunderstand, or he overshoots, but he's still out there creating shit that affects and shapes the world. He fucking milked those DONDA livestreams though lol, but at the same time it's like a totally new way to do an album release and only he could pull something like that off.
@@blank-vj1mc Despite the stigma surrounding his mental health and questionable choices. I still love his work because I know how to seperate artist from art, but anyone that Ye isn't a genius just because he's done some awk things on camera is just wrong.
I remember when Kanye first came on the scene. I always felt like he was the best thing on the radio. His music had a social conscience to it. He was the only mainstream artist I really enjoyed. I guess what I'm saying is, I miss the old Kanye.
I don't care what anyone says bout Kanye, my man may be crazy but the world made him that way. Dude's just got too much soul for the average person to truly fathom. I pray for him, and hope he don't go too early like a lot of other legends.
Baron Necas some. Most out here right now not able to get hired. Economies world wide barely exist that’s why the few who are are working ridiculous shifts
DAT TAPE!!! Cookin this was not only a good job, this is the delivering of a god. I never listened to Ye, he was just not on my radar. Wu Tang, Eminem, Cypress, Busta, Biggie, Pac...but this tape made me listen so much to Ye. The Beats are so hypnotizing. Gold man, GOLD. You are my favorite beatmaker. One day you will get a painting or drawing from me, my way to say thank you Sir.
I literally come back to listen to this every other day. I feel like I am listening to Kanye's life in a song lol. If he heard this I know he would approve.
Basically any time I watch a cookin soul vid or kn x or kanye or anything this vid gets reccomended and pretty much every single time I watch the entire thing.
On God... this whole videos extraordinary... From the editing, the interviews, to the beat syncing, to the selection of sounds & samples, and the selected acapellas... @cookinsoul It takes greatness to recognize and honor it this well... This is exceptional, thank you 🔥🙏🏼✨
Legendary shit, Cookin Soul will always be in the rotation. Props to Ye as well hoping he finds his peace, really sad to see the state he's been in lately
Yes, he lost that nonchalant attitude, his music became much darker. He had a great time recently though on a day trip to my neighborhood in Berlin, where he visited exhibitions and local sights. Ye, whenever you need a timeout come back to Betlin. We won't trouble you with that American Hollywood paparazzi gossip nonsense.
@@esahm373 i prefer the darker sound of albums like mbdtf, yeezus and tlop to the old kanye honestly. not saying the old albums were bad, they were absolute classics and i love every single one of them but overall im happy with the ''new kanye''
This track started playing on the background, had to check it out after 9 minutes. Definetly thought this was something Kanye himself produced, even with the cookin soul edits hahaha amazing
12:18 estoy en un momento de mi vida en que me identifico totalmente con esto, tengo que tomar un riesgo que siento en mi corazon, y realmente el aura creada por CookinSoul y el speach de Kanye me dan ese impulso. Aunque no creas, esto mueve muchas emociones y decisiones trascendentales.
You can say what you want about the new Kanye but when the dude smiles for real on those rare occasions, for a short moment you understand what the combination of pain, hunger, triumph, and brilliance looks and feels like.

and make it a oficial release !! shit is epic
mindless monk he would be ignorant and stubborn not to change. Nothing about his life is like it use to be. Growth is necessary.
wold it be ignorant and stubborn to turn into a ignorant stubborn ?
i wanted to edit this statement to say, I believe #Kanye has seen this upload. #ps mindless monk you a square.
I wish he never sold out & her Mom still Alive here....Then he would not be with the Kardashian's together
Damn..2024 and we still rockin with Ye.
I miss the old Kanye
Best tape
how it should be
man i was thinking i can't believe this tape is already 6 year, time does fly so fast

thats goals right there.
Real talk..
I return to this every single Time I see it on TH-cam and play it in full every single time. Perfect posthumous mix for when ye's gone.
The production J.Cole always wanted
Cookin Cole
He’s inspired by old ye said so himself 🙏🏽❤️

bro got dissed by him lol
U gotta listen to cookin soul and jcole mashup 👍🏼

D-Ace i couldn’t agree more
You said it much better. This is a great project for real
000
That 4 bar freestyle might be one of the all time dopest cuts in all of kanye's catalog, and I mean with this beat... it's perfect.
Facts
Yea man. Blends perfectly
No cap was told here...
when he said she said "yesssir".......cold

That's how ALOT of us 30 year olds feel bro. Not switching up on this damaged man that affected my formative years so much.
Same 30 club lets go
Same my dude
25 club doesn't forget either !!
He's still this Kanye... Somewhere deep inside it's still there
Not that deep. He's exactly the same. A contrarian who goes against the grain.
It's 2020 and sadly, he's no longer there. All we can do is hope for his mental well-being.
Possibly he knows too much, he just doesn't know how to handle it, how to conceive it, how to express it cause its different, too foreign to him he just sounds insane cause he can't put it in the right words

I look at kanye in a totally new light.. he’s paid his due’s. Cooking soul you are a musical savant.
xD ♥
Yeah it's a fantastic reminder that even though Kanye is a global brand he is really just a dude looking to express himself.

That Bittersweet Poerty so dope to me I cant get passed it. Probably because I can relate to the lyrics and the beat was too dope!
3 years later and still in my playlist
I beg you do one of these for Mac Miller would be so dope ... Most dope!
fkn oathhh
I couldn’t agree more
yesss! that would be awesome
Fuck yes!😩
Yes please!
We gonna talk about the 4 bar freestyle…? Beat absolutely completed the raps
Yeahh, my favorite followed by bitterwest and black balls. But the whole video is awesome, I listen to it like 5 times a day.
I would like to mention that it's not a freestyle, it's his verse from Digital Girl - Jamie Foxx. I'd listen to it over there if I were you, sounds much better with the original backing.
Legendary! Need this on Spotify so I can play on repeat❤
much love ! thanks
Ye is a legend undeniable. And most his raps were in future tense. Words and the pen do magic. Do your thing. Speak it. Stay up.
Idgaf if this is unofficial this is Kanye's dopest album hands down
This is the best tape I’ve ever heard, the interview’s are incredible, the beats are the same.
I used to ride my bike at night while listening to this. I'll always remember that good relaxing time with these tracks. Thanks a lot.
This the type of content youtube needs more of
I kid you not, I listen to this at least a couple of times per week for the past year and it's like hearing it for the first time, every time.
Man hearing this type of Kanye gives me nostalgia of being 10-18 years old. Won’t ever hear this type of shit again
them yellow bus days with the cd players and someone in the back with a speaker
This was the best 20 minutes of media of 2023 so far. Thank you
5 years..still fuc**ig gold
My guy. This makes me hella emotional. I've always loves kanye since through the wire. He is real. He needs to do more flows like this.
This is the tape of the century, I have come back to it every couple of weeks for the past 2 years and still cant get enough!
Can't help but have a huge smile on my face while listening to this. This brightened up my week
