I read somewhere else that Australian and Japanese CD's used to cost more than CD's in other countries, so artists would make songs exclusive to those releases to make the purchase seem more worth it
For those who were wondering why this was a bonus track, it's probably bc the sound was too similar to songs from The College Dropout and Kanye most likely wanted to set The Late Registration (which incorporates instruments frequently used in an orchestra) apart from that. He's gone back to that sound in a way in other albums ("Good Life" in Graduation, "Devil in a New Dress" in MBDTF, "Bound 2" in Yeezus) but with LR being released only a year and a half from The College Dropout, he most likely wanted some distance from the usual sped up soul sample sound that he was associated with.
Imo this sounds exactly like Late Registration, there is a string section on here, and all the synths here is very Jon Brion esque (co-producer of LR). I always associated this track with LR
Classic track by Kanye West ft Talib Kweli, Q-tip, Common & Rhymefest. Although Kanye's still experimenting with new sounds. But, I wouldn't mind hearing this classic, soulful sound from Kanye again! Kinda like what he did for "White Dress".
World needs more this type music on radios a shame the promotion of violence promotes ignorance instead of creativity with these riots happening we need this now more than ever peace
Talib not only had the best verse on the track, it's probably one of the best verses in the history of HipHop, IMHO. What it lacks in length it makes up for in substance; so thought provoking!
It's such a vibrant Thang! I said that in high school freshman not really.know the lyrics lil I got kicked out of Art class' penertration don't. Even matter lol

One of very few artists where you can hear a bonus track for a TWENTY-ONE TRACK album and go 'this needed to be on the original album'. Love this
No lie
Yes bittersweet should have been on gradution
@@kazamere7 thank u I been saying this( we finally got goodnight so theres a chance)
thank god i downloaded this amazing song im boutto listen to it after almost a year lol
Is this a bonus track? I have this on Spotify
I love how every time the chorus plays, the person singing previously gets added to it
What a cool observation!
Kanye had such an incredible ear for samples and hooks
@@Andrew-gk6bnstill does😊
Kanye is musical genius
Damn I ain’t even notice that
I have listened to Late Registration hundreds of times, yet here I am in 2021 hearing this for the first time. This song is wild.
me too man
2022 for me man
Bro same this song is stuuuupid nice
It was a UK extra track
That’s crazy. I was bumping this back in the bear share lime wire era
Never got why we didn't get this track in US. Such a great song!
fr, it feels like if any country needed this song, it would be the USA
Listen to the content!

This is my favourite Kanye album by miles
what about now

Yessssss

Because you didn't buy the over seas version and don't bootleg.
SAME wtf
@@brownseed777 I bootlegged every ye album in the 2000's - 2012. I never heard this.
Ye has so many hidden gems.
Can't believe I never heard this until today
2022 😔
Something about that part at the end around 3:34 just makes me smile every time I hear that voice :)
Yeah it's perfect kanyes a genius with the sampling.... The saxophone is beautiful too... This is such an underrated song
Feels like a hug from a teddy bear😭😭

His soul samples are goated and that common verse is awesome
I always assumed it was sample clearance
Idk I hear orchestral elements in here but it does sound somewhere in between TCD and LR
what.? dude there are chipmuck soul samples on songs like Late, Gone, & My Way Home. that reasoning makes no sense to me
Imo this sounds exactly like Late Registration, there is a string section on here, and all the synths here is very Jon Brion esque (co-producer of LR). I always associated this track with LR
Loving the positive vibes in this song and also the entire album!

My fav Ye album and i didn't even know this existed. This bonus track as well as back to basics solidifies it

Wtf Late Registration is my favorite Kanye album and I never knew this song existed.. why wasn’t it available in the US??
Sample clearance issue 😓
@@codedniche3263no, it’s a bonus track for the Australian/Japan release of the album
@@codedniche3263it should’ve been released what a shame. Better late than never
I never heard this before. Ye ft Kweli and Common are always fire
This was on the Hurricane Relief Album after Katrina- never knew it was Kanye.
Where can I find that album he should’ve put this on the main album
holy fuck this is amazing
Maybe my favorite Bonus track off the Dropout bear trilogy
Such a gooey hook

This song is called *Get Up* on *The Graduate (extra credit)* ,
a collectors cd released by Ye
Old Kanye = Best Kanye
False, Yeezus and Pablo are better than most of his old albums

@@anujarun9544 absolutely
@@buttermilkjesus408 I would say there more equal than just flat out better than each other

Damn he was singing back then! I swear Kanye was so ahead of his own time bruh shit is crazy.

It’s on Spotify for me. Maybe cah I’m in the uk.

it's like old kanye came to drop a track for us😎🍽
Why have I never respected Q-Tip? This man is crazy!
Q-Tip and the Tribe are the GOATS
It's such a vibrant Thang! I said that in high school freshman not really.know the lyrics lil I got kicked out of Art class' penertration don't. Even matter lol
SUCH A SICK LINEUP!! FRESH TO DEATH! LOVE IS LOVE 💫🤟🏼🎶🤟🏽♎️
NEVER HEARD THIS SHIT BEFORE.
Ye been here since giving us good music
This shit is gospel 💯
Late Registration is Ye's best album
I was just reminded of this song😢 Ye da goat.
This is the official song of 2020 ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
lmao
This song sounds like a crossover between the dropout era and a MBDTD Good Friday’s track
Q-Tip spit the best 8 bar verse of all time
How am I just hearing this for the FIRST TIME in 2022?! 🔥🔥‼️‼️
Amazing super dope
This is my jam
Mos Def was originally supposed to be on this track, but replaced by Rhymefest
It's a crime kanye didn't put this on the main album
NO RAP CAP . perfect outro
Awesome amazing super dope
Ye used the best part of the sample (imo) for his verse only 😂.
Where is the sample from?
@@lucashighsted8687 “Make it Easy on Yourself” - The Three Degrees . The sample is pretty early in the song.
Super dope
Just heard this in 2022 incredible
how am i hearing this for the first time in '23 lol
It was a UK only bonus track
We can make it beeeetter!
Best track from kanye
1:40 the sound is great
I was Late but now I’m here
real
We Can Make It Better sounds like it should be Kanye’s presidential campaign slogan lol
Shit hit different after him saying fuck talib
The college trilogy is the greatest 3 album run hooly.
Great track
I just randomly thought about this after not listening to this after like 2 years
Can somebody add this on Sound Cloud please
Whats the sample
what's the point of having this as a bonus track in only the UK
To make ppl buy it in the uk
Nicholas Mohan no one is gonna go to the UK to buy this album just to get this song; if that is what you're getting at.
i mean people in uk that live that live there
same with bittersweet poetry being only released in japan :(
Pienyx and Kanye was just very inspired by Japan during the Graduation Era, but I have no idea why this would be a UK exclusive
Use to love this song!!!!
Awesome song
Should've been on the standard version.
🔥
we can make it better
(Make it up) we can make it better
(Make it up) we can make it better
(Make it up) we can make it
Somebody told me that delta's brownskinned, akas' lightskinned
And they supposed to be bougious, so they got white friends
First day of school, I'mma take you sight seein'
Show you what we do on weekends for a sight, man
She said, "i know what you about to say, like your hypeman"
She let a nigga hit it, and now she only date white men
And if a nigga even wave at her, it's frightnin' but
we can make it better
(Better we can)
(Make it up) we can make it better
(Better we can make it on up, we can)
(Make it up) we can make it better
(Better we can)
(Make it up) we can make it
The night fallin' over brooklyn, where they murder for change
The converter remains faithful to the drug dealer priestess
He in search of the word of fame, you heard of the name
Kweli the truth, like I'm comin' out the mouth of bass
One for it, one for out the grave
Niggas want they reparations, how you calculate the amount to be paid
You try to imagine america without the slaves (the slaves)
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
Her tenament yo, is rat infested
Her heart is like a gold booya cause she wouldn't protest it
'Cause, her best friends man got popped
He was sixteen years old, the cop thought his phone was a glock
In the hood is a everyday happenin'
A friend of the priest say she chose out the captain
She yelled out "why you do this to black men? "
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
I think of eighty seven ways, to make better days
Whether climb or rhyme, I heard of rebel pays
On the scene, tryin' to get green like everglades
Music, rhymin' good like escalates
In the ghetto infested by shade and drama
And niggas wit' things ain't afraid of karma
I'm thinking big like lil wayne in the problem set
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
C'mon, tell people the truth, but never give 'em ya true thoughts
Terrorism on blacks, they poison our newports
Patriot act in effect, make it hard to breathe now
Johnny cochran dead, who gonna get us free now?
Clinton ain't in office, who gon' give us shit free now?
Who gon' make it better for the thugs and p's now?
Who gon' make it good for old folks that's senile?
