The original version of Home Coming aka Coming Home from 2002, back before most of yall were listening to Kanye West. Back when he had the hilarious freestyles about girls and all that.
I always viewed Homecoming as a song about Kanye reflecting about the consequences of his success. But the fact that he made this song before he even blew up adds a whole new layer to it.
lol my friend wondered how I knew all the words as soon as the album came out with the new version with Chris Martin... ha-ha love this one hits hard college freshman year
Fr I’m from the country part of Indiana a couple of hours away from Chicago I’ve been there numerous of times but Chicago rap has always been one of my favorite genres of music because of the struggle it talks about relates to the Midwest basically we’re all in the rust belt states we’ve all been hit by poverty etc but everyone just has a dream to make it big someday but doesn’t sadly
As a true Kanye fan I heard this before he re-released it. I always loved this version better. So much soul!... I don't like when people say they want the old Ye back. I just want him to be himself. He always inspires me and my music. Jewelz Finazzo will always be grateful to Kanye West. Had posters of him on my wall before I even knew he was a rapper (Old Source Magazine pics from when he surfaced as one of the producers of the Roc).
i agree. this one is more dope. it gives me that feeling in my stomach. you know that feeling when you first hear a song and you know its a great song.
This version goes so hard. It has so much soul. The other one is just some get hype commercial stuff. The difference between soul food and junkfood. This version will fill you up and stick with you. The new one does what after the song plays?
I used to have this version and a bunch of the early kanye tracks not on albums on my ipod and would listen to them everyday when I was like 12/13. In my memory forever now
I remember finding this on limewire or napster n I'd make my boy listen to it daily @ work for like a month straight. He'd bust my balls bout it but I know he like it too. good times justin R.I.P
Man, I remember when graduation came out...then the “updated” version of this song came on...I was like why would you change it? This version is so good. I definitely liked this Kanye better. Lol.
I'll never understand why he made another version of this song if this right here is amazing. I will always love it and I'll always be a fan of Kanye, amazing human being, producer, singer, songwriter, creative genius. I hope he's ok in spite of it all, he's given us the gift of some of best the songs in music history. Thank you Kanye!!!
The best version imo
Absolutely
Without a doubt!❤
Kanye himself gave me this tape in South Beach for Memorial Day weekend. Fucking amazing how far he’s come.
Dope
Really? Did you study at one school?
Dude
Do you still have it?
@@youreboy526 Man, I wish I did. That was so long ago and he was just part of the RocaFella street team.
Almost 20 years later and this track still hits the soul.
TO THIS DAY!!! (WILDER VOICE)
bruh
The version on graduation is sick but you can't beat the soulful original. Another masterpiece from the genius that is Mr. West.
This version makes me so emotional.Always has and always will. 💜
Couldn’t agree more
Much love ❤
Yessir.

what I love about kanye is that he made this song as an ode to Chicago

THIS THE HARD VERSION...
Livy The Bugs! #DaddyVlog PERIODTTTT LOL
Livy The Bugs! #DaddyVlog I agree!
Livy The Bugs! #DaddyVlog This song is addicting as hell
Worrrd
@@fauximpala7540 ...it’s really fucking crazy...

+Ryan Thugest exactly what happened to me
College days here too man!
I heard this in high school 2002 on the Get Well Soon mixtape. I did my own version of this and won first place
You old as fuck
nah homie you just young as fuck
chop up the soul Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye.
I miss THIS Kanye.
DigiDigi Tek me too.. 😩😩😩😩😩
The REAL Kanye!
Hes never coming back until he leaves that hooker wife of his
@@dookieboy81 hooker? who has she slept with ever since being with kanye?
They’ll always say I miss the old Kanye no matter what Jesus Christ
This beat speaks Chicago struggle but hope in the distance.
That's why I want to visit, someday.
Same here homie
Mixed with the Soul of John Legend
I feel the same way when I play “Two Words”

the REAL version. epic song 1st time i heard it.
Idk why ppl would like any other version of this song, this by far the best one
They're both great to be fair.
Well said..
@@grantreid6155 this one is way better

Amen
I can see why. It has that hometown kid vibe to it.
Nah I want the old ye back. Asking him to be himself is a danger to himself at this point in time.
@@tomignacios3668 lol, you may be right
@@tomignacios3668 don’t you mean the REAL Kanye, and not the parody of himself we’ve seen as of late?
This is the best version of this song brings a tear to my eye ever time i here it
I kid you not I have been searching for this Version forever!!!.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nu lyn man what i'm geeked now
Nu lyn me too man I had it in 07 but I lost my cd
Glad u found this 💎
Same I was starting to think it was in my imagination
Beautiful song, I’ll always forever have fresh goosebumps every time I listen to this. Got me through a hard year at high school ❤
That soul beats line makes so much more sense when you hear it on the original SOULFUL ass sample
Had to show my wife this version. Rocked with this in high school
This song used to be on heavy rotation when I was homesick my freshman year...I miss this kanye
This was played at my high school once and nobody even knew this was the original it was during announcements
+CotDamn85 THIS IS THE SAME KANYE MAN, THE MEANING IS ALWAYS THERE. JUST NOT IN THE SAME RAPPING STYLE OR VERSE STYLE.
The REAL Kanye!
me too now he’s crazy
I played this heavy when I was in Iraq, I was so homesick.
I love this version of the song I wish he kept it like this for the album
I come back once a year to remind myself of what fire sounds like
raw n rugged soulful music
This version should have been on the album
I want to like the other version more but THIS one keeps chills on me the whole way through ‼️
I was stationed in GA when this track first leaked. I drove home 12 hours to Philly & listened to this song for almost 10 hours! Facts!!!💯
We will never have this version of Kanye. But it was great to have witnessed his greatness!
One of Kanye's best songs. This version goes hard 20 years later!!
I always come back to this version atleast 3 times a year
tears in my eyes...great times
This is one of the songs that made me fall in love with hip-hop as a kid. CLASSIC !!
This was back when Kanye was ill. Chopping up soul samples and spitting dope rhymes and flowing effortlessly.
Kayne West my favourite rapper
This song hits so hard and so close to home r.i.p. Orlando "King" Rock 07-26-90 - 02-09-18
Still slaps til this day.....
Better than the album version
Adrenaline4P tru
Absolutely!!
Can't disagree with this
Way better
No
i agree. this one is more dope. it gives me that feeling in my stomach. you know that feeling when you first hear a song and you know its a great song.
This the OG version absolutely forever in love with this song
Can’t believe how different John legend sounded then
DID NOT know this was John. I didn’t even think I could love this song any more.
So many memories to this version of the song.
He was talking bout interviews before he even had any, that's that law of attraction shii
Think of my mama when I hear this track!! Rip mama love you miss you!! I'm doing ok always thinking of you ❤.
This song and this whole album KEPT ME GOIN my freshman year...Good Shit Kanye!!!
This IS HOME!!!!!! I had this on the unreleased like everyone else. Love this Ye.
My favorite song ever
Haven’t heard this version in forever. Thanks for posting.
This version is soooooo much better!!
From Chicago. Been in Houston for 4 years . Lemme tell yu in my heart is where shell always be lbs miss this track and my city !
This version is 🔥 OG Kanye
Man I been looking for this song for a long time preciate you for putting this up. This one is way better than the one he put on Graduation
This song is what true love and happiness feels like.
This is the best version period. 👊🏽
Thank you algorithm for bringing me back to this, can’t wait to do it again
This version goes so hard. It has so much soul. The other one is just some get hype commercial stuff. The difference between soul food and junkfood. This version will fill you up and stick with you. The new one does what after the song plays?
The released is so much better and still full of soul
I love this original version so much more. Chi-town stand up.
Long, lost version 🙏🏾🤦🏾♀️. Great memories.
This is the Kanye I love - but I guess we all change
And some change for the worst, instead of better.
Probabally my all time favourite song ever
I used to have this version and a bunch of the early kanye tracks not on albums on my ipod and would listen to them everyday when I was like 12/13. In my memory forever now
Most soulful song Kanye’s ever made
I remember finding this on limewire or napster n I'd make my boy listen to it daily @ work for like a month straight. He'd bust my balls bout it but I know he like it too. good times justin R.I.P
Soooooooooooooooooo soulful
this beat just gets to you,, it has feeling and you can here the feeling of kanye,, this one is much much much better..!!!!
Greetzz,, E
Man, I wish they would remaster this version. This the hardest version fasho
15 years ago & I STILL love this version!
🥲 Chi-Town📍
this is one the greatest songs I ever experienced...top 3 kanye for me
RIP Aaron starling and Keith Mccoy!!! Chicago love!!!
Aww man I was looking for THIS...thanks for posting... classic song. We never forget great music
Thos song was always special, but in 2020...it hits you even more 💚
C L A S S I C...I've never been able to listen to the other one...this the ONE.
Used to rock the absolute shit out of this and prefer it over the other homecoming by a million miles. Such a classic and peak Kanye.
now I see where chance the rapper was going when he made long time I & II. think about it
Original> the album version
It’s feels more Chicago, I get literal chills when I hear this one. ❤❤❤❤
Man, I remember when graduation came out...then the “updated” version of this song came on...I was like why would you change it? This version is so good. I definitely liked this Kanye better. Lol.
This song make me cry thinking of 02 2022 we still here baby !
After all these years ( I guess 10 or something), I did never ever hear this version.. so dope!!
ahhh man ive been looking for this joint FOREVER....had it on a mix cd i made in college
Miss the real Ye 😔
Same.
I'll never understand why he made another version of this song if this right here is amazing. I will always love it and I'll always be a fan of Kanye, amazing human being, producer, singer, songwriter, creative genius. I hope he's ok in spite of it all, he's given us the gift of some of best the songs in music history. Thank you Kanye!!!
Why not appreciate both?
Just enjoy this version
@@m.l.2871 I see your point, but i just don't like the other version. 🙃
@@m.l.2871 becaus3 the other version has no soul
Couldn't clear the sample is my guess
@@innercirclepro11 hadn't about this! Very true
This actually my favorite version of this song.
Man the memories..
Ohhhhh oooooh ... this the better version
My favorite! This is so much better than the newer version!
2021 let's celebrate cause we still here
2024 let’s get it
WHY IS NO ONE SAYING THAT HE WROTE "KAYNE"
Best version🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Some dude was passing out CDs with this song on it back when i was a freshman in high school
Im so happy I found this. The Original Homecoming
This is the one I know back in high school 08
Real Kanye fans know about this
Real tears
this version much better
Beautiful
Putting that other version in the album instead of this one is a crime
Kanye should’ve put this as a bonus track
Thank You to Ashley from Chicago who put me onto this 🙏 🤲
Still banging in 2020!!!
Best song. John legend on the hook too. The Netflix doc on him is good so far.
This song is still fire!
When i heard this track, i knew kayne would be a star
