it’s understandable how hesitant you are to his music because of how he is portrayed by the media, however, after knowing his true intentions it’s clear that he is extremely misunderstood. yes his old actions can easily make someone believe that he has a massive god complex and ego but recently he has realized that he could not find true happiness in himself and this world so he turned to God. whether you are christian or not it is clearly amendable how he has found true peace in his life and given up his old ways of living. i know you said you probably won’t listen to any more kanye music but i highly recommend you do so. some songs similar to this one are runaway, ghost town, violent crimes. runaway especially, is a musical masterpiece that encapsulates his struggles and also portrays his perception by the media. hope you check them out and great reaction !
So right. You really have to understand his mind set to understand that the media betrays him so wrong. The man really is a genius with 1000s of ideas in his head at once. Also yea they should react to ghost town or runaway, perfect songs as well as this one
The sad part is that he never even changed his political views. His campaign platform from 2020 reflects the same views he has had since The College Dropout. Even on an interview with Charlemagne he told him his ideal campaign would be Bernie's platform with Trump's boldness
Don’t be upset you like a Kanye song, put everything you hate about his personal life aside. Kanye is one of the best artists ever, incredible producer and always pushing boundaries in his music, MBDTF is one of the best albums of all time
It’s funny how fast the energy went from ‘lol let’s see what the narcissist has to say’ to ‘I’m actually really intrigued’ Kanye’ll do that to ya. great reaction
The low opinions people have on Kanye makes me sad. Anyone who take the time to listen to his music usually hold him in high regard as a person and artist.
Some of the largest names in art were seen as crazy during their lives, but are now seen as one of the GOATs. Kanye’s name will be mentioned with the Van Gogh’s, and Mozarts of our generation
@@BiigJuicer I agree, it does seem like people are starting to take notice of his brilliance though, especially after the more christian gospel direction he has been taking his music recently. I think it is more digestable for the masses then his earlier and more vulgar work and thus has served as an eye- opener for many.
Personality matters in music. We are happy that so many people voted. We're trying (hoping) to build an audience that talks about music and entertainment in a real way. With lots of dialogue. From a business, marketing and music perspective.
@@DAMmusicshow him giving millions to victims of police brutality and helping successfully lobby for the first step act and getting all of those people freed has to be a metric when we're discussing personality. People pay too much attention to the media without doing their own research.
People don't seem to understand how bi-polar disorder affects people and their personalities. I almost guarantee a lot of Kanye's TRUE feelings and perspectives are found in his music where he has time to formulate and feel out his own emotions. When I look at Kanye acting out in public, I see a lot of the same characteristics that I see in my bi-polar father. My dad is much better at formulating his thoughts and feelings through writing, and often goes through similar manic episodes where he grasps for any sort of control. He gets overwhelmed, and responds in drastic and irrational ways, and later regrets his actions. I bet Kanye is very similar.
Well said, one thing I'll add is Kanye has also had a traumatic brain injury which will make formulating thoughts on the fly especially difficult. Thanks for sharing your very relevant story. As someone who also has personal experience with this issue many don't realize how bad that disorder can get for people and it's good that rants is all he's doing.
One of the greatest artists of all time. Its easy to get convinced by media to dislike this man without actually listening to his music but I'm glad you guys went out of your way to listen, respect
This song will always be one of my favorite songs ever. I get goosebumps everytime that piano comes in. You can feel the emotion he’s pouring out into this song, almost makes me tear up.
This actually happened live in Soldier's field Chicago. The house u saw burning down was a replica of Kanye's childhood home which he built in Soldier's field Chicago for third listening party of his recent album Donda. The guy who was lit on fire was Ye himself, nd the woman in the end was Kim K. Seeing this whole thing happening live was one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed!!
They haven’t been in that research yet. He’s not famous for his music for no reason. His impact is really important in the industry especially for the last 20 years
We don't know that your opinion is he is the greatest or that he is... in fact... the greatest? Much of our show is about discovery. We hope you see and respect that.
@@DAMmusicshow In my opinion, he’s one of the greatest artists of this century, he’s switched his styles every album and we admire him for it! Hope y’all have a great time digging into his discography.
So happy you guys enjoyed and gave Kanye a chance even after seeing all the headlines! He is one of the most creative minds of modern music (He's changed the sound of rap 2x by himself by introducing new sounds, production, and technique). If you guys are open to more by Kanye West that really display his creativity, I recommend Runaway (piano heavy as well and is secretly about the Taylor swift vma's incident), Famous (a more hype rap song with a great sample) and Ghost Town (all around great song that once again veers away from traditional rap music).
Please don't let the media manipulate your thoughts on Kanye. He is troubled but that's what makes his music so good and powerful. He is one of the most vulnerable transparent artists and it shines through his music, especially in Come to Life.
Fair enough statement and we agree. What about him attacking Pete Davidson just for dating Kim? Media ain't making that up. He does it in plain view. Is that cool of him? Or open to criticism?
@@DAMmusicshow He is def open to criticism and I agree he has made mistakes. But I think that we all get caught up in celebrities, we speculate and gossip but ultimately none of us know exactly what's going on in their lives. There are complexities and nuances we will never know so I don't pass judgement. He struggles with mental health and social media has seemed to be his outlet for those emotions during the divorce. I would dare to say that this is a common thing for everyone. Not saying its right or wrong but many men and women going through a divorce have felt the same way he has but had the luxury to process it and be "toxic" or angry behind closed doors.
@@DAMmusicshow Kanye always talks about how young people are the future and their talents should be praised and be more appreciated. Love the way how a mainstream artist puts so many different talents in his albums.
fun fact about this the line "Brought a Gift to Northie, all she want was Nikes. This is not about me" because you guys mentioned being fans of her name 😂 Kanye had a huge dispute with Nike before his Yeezy brand was swallowed up by Adidas. He's saying that he'd toss his ego and business interests aside for his daughter when she wanted Nikes. As long as she's happy, he's happy and free. Also, the piano was done by a 6th grader in a NYC public school music class
some songs i think you may enjoy from kanye - -ultralight beam. -hey mama. -heard em say. -POWER (one of the greatest kanye songs ever in my opinion) from mbdtf album -RUNAWAYYYYYYYYYY - like very high in top kanye songs of all time - from mbdtf album -Jesus Walks -devil in a new dress - from mbdtf album -all of the lights - from mbdtf album
It sucks so many people dislike Kanye. He’s super bipolar and his manic outbursts get reported on way too much in the media. Everybody sees him at his weakest and gets a negative opinion of him because of it. Glad you guys reacted anyway!
When people say they are surprised when they like a Kanye song seems so Alien to me, you would swear he was in jail or did something criminal he only said some stupid stuff at times and is a better person now.
To be to genuine in your reaction you can tell they did not like Kanye then hearing his ode to God and the love for his family in this beautiful music. Really what makes music so magical!
Everybody hates that Kanye’s considered a genius until you listen to the mans music and see there’s really nothing else like it lol this album doesn’t sound like any of his other albums even his last gospel album
you guys should to "only one" easily one of his most beautiful songs. its sung from the perspective of his mum talking to him and his daughter from heaven
Facts. The visuals are better than most music videos. Yeah not much happened, but a lot did happen at the same time. He burned away his past trauma and guilt, and finally took the mask off after 8 months when he came face to face with Kim. Very poetic and emotional for those that follow him
“They cannot defy me so they crucify me ” this lyric says it all. The media doesn’t understand Kanye at all so they take him out of context and try and ruin him
@@DAMmusicshow yikes. I need you all to research being bi polar then revisit him. Like the trauma of losing his mom and being bi polar really is connectsd
Appreciate y'all giving it a listen even though the poll had it being an unpopular idea. I always argue that we the audience should seperate the art from the artists, y'all should go dive into his discography, best artist of all time.
Kanye blew me away. It's been so long. Interesting to watch ignorant people listen to Kanye. They lack context. This was a very personal song and his best.
Kanye West is one of the greatest artists of all time without question. I completely get why people don’t like him. But as a fan I always feel like people are missing out when they get sucked into the headlines and his antics.
Thank you. We understand your point of view. But with Kanye, it's just part of him. You can't separate some of his comments and antics. He brings it upon himself. And we didn't deny his talents and success.
We did listen with an open mind. We said our piece and then listened and then spoke highly of the song. We literally listed with an open mind. WTF is this so hard for people to see?
@@DAMmusicshow Idk what any other commenters are suggesting and I don't speak for them. But if everyone is having the same reaction, maybe there's something to that. You ended the video like, "I can't believe I'm saying this, I like a Kanye song" Doesn't really sound open minded. But it's progress. I just hope you remember this the next time, and carry a different energy in hopefully.
@@ZChoate Open mindedness means to consider new things. We did exactly that. Our subscribers voted 90% NOT to review Kanye. We did it anyway. We admitted to having reservations. We listened with an open mind to the new song and allowed ourselves to appreciate the art for the art. Sounds open-minded to us.
@@DAMmusicshow Okay. Idk why you are taking my original comment so harshly. Maybe you read it in a particular tone because of other comments you got on this video, I don't know. I haven't read any. As far as the open mindedness, I'll refer again, if you say "I actually like a Kanye West song, I can't believe it"..the implication is that you could never like a Kanye West song..that's biased and the opposite of open-mindedness. And it wasn't the only comment. But that's okay, I can understand why when it comes to Kanye. No big deal. So, yeah.
it’s probably pretty hard to have bi polar and be as famous as kanye and not go crazy but at the end of the day kanye knows that his music speaks for itself no one makes music like he does. i don’t think he’s the best rapper but he’s top 5 and he is probably the best producer ever to live
When I was an adolescent I listened to Late Registration and bopped along to Gold Digger and Hey Mama with the rest of em. At the height of his controversy after the Taylor Swift VMA incident I listened to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and acknowledged his genius for creating great music even if as a person I thought he was a piece of shit. Almost 10 years later I listened to his complete discography in order and now have a much more nuanced and sympathetic picture of Kanye as tortured genius. I have no way of knowing if my perception is correct or not, but in my opinion he continues to grow as a artist and musician; making both affecting music and challenging music- public persona be damned. Music needs more artists like Kanye.
"They could not define me ,so they crucify me"....that line was meant for you two and the upstream media.if you think Kanye does not have a good heart,you are totally sleeping.remember he was raised by a strong black woman.......
Best lyric of this song that I find moving is when Kanye sings "this is not about me". It just really shows the side of him that can be humble and self-aware and honest about his inner beliefs and true self. Beautiful artist, beautiful man. Thank you for reacting & being open-minded.
Love watching reactions to Kanye songs from people who would never normally listen to his music. Incredible song, straight into my top 5. If you’re looking for similar songs, Runaway is widely regarded as his greatest ever and has a similar sound with the piano.
he isnt that bad of an person you think he is. Its mostly portraited by the media. Yes he still did some fucked up things and isnt perfect, but he definitly is a great artist.
you guys would have fun reacting to kanyes discography, hes made some of the greatest and wildest music of our time. his character although flawed is part of the enigmatic appeal he has and it carries through his music
Kanye’s artistry is amazing he’s extremely creative and his thoughts are so abstract I think it makes him sound distorted in normal conversation but in music his messages are so clear and clever. I’m not a fan of him as a person but I’m a huge fan of his art
Really weird coincidence that this was uploaded on my 28th birthday. The bit at the end where you guys started talking about leading very different lives every 7 years resonated with me heavily
I would react to runaway next, another piece of art on this level from Kanye, I guarantee you will draw a large audience again! Love the genuine reaction
This was a pleasure to watch, especially from Darren. Somewhat disappointed that I can’t find another Kanye reaction beyond this one. Any chance y’all would prioritize another Kanye reaction in the near future?
@@DAMmusicshow a good one but long is runaway (full version is approx 9 mins, the music video is censored and not the whole song). Otherwise for shorter songs I’d recommend “Jesus Walks”, “Devil in a new dress”, “Saint Pablo” or “Ghost Town” (sorted oldest to newest)
Don’t expect to understand someone you never listened to. The media’s story of Kanye is very different his own account he has given through his art in ways that are always if nothing else prolific and honest to his perspective. Listen to both the haters and Mr. West and decide where the lines are for yourself. Kanye is one of the only artist that wants you to do that
Reaction shows are about reacting, not understanding every single artist or 100% agreeing with an artist's fans. We reacted. No way to know every single artist at a deep level.
I like how he covered his mouth to not associate with the Bo Burnham slander, as if you can even include Bo Burnham in a discussion about Kanye. Difference is Kanye is massively influential to a large population while Bo Burnham puts out music for teenagers lol.
You obviously have no idea what Bo does. He isn’t a musician he is a stand up comedian who uses music in his comedy. Way to show how uneducated you are on something while immediately calling it trash
Oh we know... see our BTS videos. Those fans are vicious. And we don't want to beat the comments sections. We like the dialogue - even when people disagree. We do not, however, like it when we're called racists, sexist or close-minded. Those things piss us off. Everything else is 100% fair game.
You want us to listen to Kanye? Have a specific thought of his in mind? Like he believes God called him to be the leader of the free world in the shower or he wants to create mechanical bees that are drones? Whatcha ya got?
@@DAMmusicshow i’m a huge kanye fan. before i try to introduce his music to people i say i do not defend his actions or statements. i just tell them to listen to his songs and appreciate the art. regardless of what he’s said, his music is the biggest staple in music in my generation and generations to come
it’s understandable how hesitant you are to his music because of how he is portrayed by the media, however, after knowing his true intentions it’s clear that he is extremely misunderstood. yes his old actions can easily make someone believe that he has a massive god complex and ego but recently he has realized that he could not find true happiness in himself and this world so he turned to God. whether you are christian or not it is clearly amendable how he has found true peace in his life and given up his old ways of living. i know you said you probably won’t listen to any more kanye music but i highly recommend you do so. some songs similar to this one are runaway, ghost town, violent crimes. runaway especially, is a musical masterpiece that encapsulates his struggles and also portrays his perception by the media. hope you check them out and great reaction !

Always separate the art from the artist
It’s sad how many can dismiss the guy because of his actions and his political views…
His discography is almost perfect IMO.
FACTS
The sad part is that he never even changed his political views. His campaign platform from 2020 reflects the same views he has had since The College Dropout. Even on an interview with Charlemagne he told him his ideal campaign would be Bernie's platform with Trump's boldness
100%
preach brother preach!
crazy how they don't mention all the good that he has done which is more than most artists. Just the dumb stuff he says during a manic episode.
Don’t be upset you like a Kanye song, put everything you hate about his personal life aside. Kanye is one of the best artists ever, incredible producer and always pushing boundaries in his music, MBDTF is one of the best albums of all time
It’s funny how fast the energy went from ‘lol let’s see what the narcissist has to say’ to ‘I’m actually really intrigued’ Kanye’ll do that to ya. great reaction

Everybody hates that Kanye’s considered a genius until you listen to the mans music and see there’s really nothing else like it lol this album doesn’t sound like any of his other albums even his last gospel album
Exactly, they're teaching classes about him in Yale. That has to say something lol
I'm scared to have you guys listen to to anymore kanye, your heads might literally explode.
If so, we'll get it on camera
Kanye's a musical genius
Please react to like 5 kanye songs:
Runaway
All falls down
Street lights
Flashing lights
Heard ‘em say

Love that as well and I really hope they will review te Runaway video
he isnt that bad of an person you think he is. Its mostly portraited by the media. Yes he still did some fucked up things and isnt perfect, but he definitly is a great artist.

Big fan of Kanye, it help me grow up listening to hiphop the way that I do and having an expectation of an great experience and music production
Listening to it by yourself hits way different.
kanye utilizes the piano often
You guys should definitely listen to more kanye
Believe what i say
And
Hurricane are must listens from kanye, you’ll be thankful you did
Guys talked
Through the best part
It's our thing. People LOVE it!
Hurricane and off the grid are 2 of the best tracks , would be dope reactions
Yes!!!
Lord I need you and pure souls they’d probably really like too
you guys would have fun reacting to kanyes discography, hes made some of the greatest and wildest music of our time. his character although flawed is part of the enigmatic appeal he has and it carries through his music
to me Kanye is just a genuine guy who isn't afraid to be him, I don't get the hate
both things can be true. he is himself, but he says and does a lot of things that are off-putting
hell ya boys, dont buy the media hype Kanye is the GOAT
Don't know y'all but, that song changed my life, cheers mate.
Kanye has always been great at making music videos. I think you guys would love Homecoming and All of the Lights
Kanye’s artistry is amazing he’s extremely creative and his thoughts are so abstract I think it makes him sound distorted in normal conversation but in music his messages are so clear and clever. I’m not a fan of him as a person but I’m a huge fan of his art
I think he’s an awesome person just has had his struggles as we all have, easy for it to get blown up by the media.
Kanye the GOAT, defiantly one of the best of all time musically & definitely living
And you guys never done another Ye reaction since
Really weird coincidence that this was uploaded on my 28th birthday. The bit at the end where you guys started talking about leading very different lives every 7 years resonated with me heavily
Thanks for the comment. We love this. Happy "7th" birthday.
You would get alot of views listening to kanye, I would binge watch all of them seeing you understand kanye more
Kanye Marathon. I like it.
This album is a classic
Didn't think I'd see you here Pedro 😂😂 this album is fantastic
you said kanye with piano you are missing out listen to runaway by him
I would react to runaway next, another piece of art on this level from Kanye, I guarantee you will draw a large audience again! Love the genuine reaction
Id like to see kanyes album ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ - that album is in my humble opinion a masterpiece
"i'm upset i like a kanye song" 😂😂😂😂😂
This was a pleasure to watch, especially from Darren. Somewhat disappointed that I can’t find another Kanye reaction beyond this one. Any chance y’all would prioritize another Kanye reaction in the near future?
Sure. Any song in mind?
@@DAMmusicshow a good one but long is runaway (full version is approx 9 mins, the music video is censored and not the whole song). Otherwise for shorter songs I’d recommend “Jesus Walks”, “Devil in a new dress”, “Saint Pablo” or “Ghost Town” (sorted oldest to newest)
@@rehsiff Thank you so much.
@@DAMmusicshow violent crimes and ghost town are very good songs, you should react them
I love Ye and most of his songs, so I'll say if you like this song there's so many more you'll like that are as good or better.
Kanye West is a pure artist
somehow this song is already timeless
I pray for those who are experiencing mental illness to heal and not be judged by the world..... Amen 🙏
Make more videos about Kanye please he is definitely one of the best if is not the best rapper and producer since the 2000s
can you recommend a specific song?
@@DAMmusicshow yes!!
All Falls Down
Through the wire
Never Let Me Down
Roses
Runaway
Ghost Town
Street Lights
Jesus Lord
@@DAMmusicshow you should listen to runaway if you liked this song then devil in a new dress, bound 2, and ghost town.
I appreciate the way you guys reviewed the music putting the negative things you dont like about aside
Thank you, thank you, thank you. We wish everyone had your approach.
I liked this a lot actually. It was a subtle song🔥
It is subtle for sure. Good song.
listen to ghost town by kanye, it's a really really good song
Thanks for the heads up and recommendation.
Kanye is music
you guys really really need to react to more kanye
Kanye is underrated. Lets see more of him!
One of your most viewed videos
People talk crazy bout ye and don’t understand
Awesome work on being open enough to listen to this and give genuine respect to the track. Thumb up.
Thank you
Don’t expect to understand someone you never listened to. The media’s story of Kanye is very different his own account he has given through his art in ways that are always if nothing else prolific and honest to his perspective. Listen to both the haters and Mr. West and decide where the lines are for yourself. Kanye is one of the only artist that wants you to do that
Reaction shows are about reacting, not understanding every single artist or 100% agreeing with an artist's fans. We reacted. No way to know every single artist at a deep level.
@@DAMmusicshow good point
@@Hello-zx3xi 🙂Thank you.
The new person every 7 years is a great observation.
I like how he covered his mouth to not associate with the Bo Burnham slander, as if you can even include Bo Burnham in a discussion about Kanye. Difference is Kanye is massively influential to a large population while Bo Burnham puts out music for teenagers lol.
You obviously have no idea what Bo does. He isn’t a musician he is a stand up comedian who uses music in his comedy. Way to show how uneducated you are on something while immediately calling it trash
forget kanye you see on the news and listen to his songs, it will slap so hard
Great (and very open minded) reaction! Ignore the negative comments guys, you'll never beat the comment section XD
Oh we know... see our BTS videos. Those fans are vicious. And we don't want to beat the comments sections. We like the dialogue - even when people disagree. We do not, however, like it when we're called racists, sexist or close-minded. Those things piss us off. Everything else is 100% fair game.
runaway by Kanye west
He has a few songs kind of like this, runaway is good song also..
You should react to more of his songs he has best discography
Make more videos about Kanye Reacts. His music are amazing and pure art. ReAct to Runaway
Need more ye videos before I subscribe
Stop listening to media about people
You want us to listen to Kanye? Have a specific thought of his in mind? Like he believes God called him to be the leader of the free world in the shower or he wants to create mechanical bees that are drones? Whatcha ya got?
@@DAMmusicshow i’m a huge kanye fan. before i try to introduce his music to people i say i do not defend his actions or statements. i just tell them to listen to his songs and appreciate the art. regardless of what he’s said, his music is the biggest staple in music in my generation and generations to come
@@jaxondarnell8231 Pretty sure we said we like this song = his art.
