"Hey Mama" fucks me up everytime. I actively avoid it because i know I'll be left looking a mess. I lost my Mum in 2009 and the song took on a completely different tone... So I can totally relate.
2008 for me, 808s cemented Kanye as one of my top 5 besides Lil Wayne from this era, with Hey Mama and Only One being incredibly hard to listen to for me
Seeing Kevin's raw reaction to Diamonds From Sierra Leone is incredible. Someone that truly understands music, appreciates the craft and isn't afraid to show how it makes him feel. I think the reason why everyone loves this series is because we all wish we were in his position, listening to these albums for the first time again. Keep up the work boys!
right!! diamonds from sierra leone has been my favorite ye song since my first listen, and when i saw him tear up i almost teared up bc i feel like people don’t appreciate that song enough
"Hey Mama" was easily one of my favorite tracks off of LR growing up, but after I lost my mom in 2017, it took on an entirely new meaning. Like you guys said, super powerful. It's so beautiful seeing you guys - especially Kevin - react the way you did. You guys are just great.
It has declined in popularity, however, let's not forget it was and still is his most commercially successful album to date. It might not get a lot of hype nowadays, but it definitely got it's fair share of roses when it first dropped.
@@xboxpenguin8705 Absolutely not, Graduation sold more than Late Registration, and it's his most accessible album to date. Stronger, Flashing Lights, Homecoming are his biggest songs.
I cry whenever I hear Hey Mama because it reminds me of how proud I am of my mom. My dad did his absolute worst, my oldest sister almost died of cancer at a young age.. raising 3 girls on her own was tough but she did her best. Our lives have had many trials and tribulations but we’re extremely blessed. It was beautiful to see you guys react to it. Thank you so much!
I just found these guys today, just recently found you like last month. Think I've watched like every vid you've done in the past 2 years lol. Love your content man!
@@SlimShady-xs3cj word but when u sit down and really listen to flashing lights it’s so different than it being in the background. That song has to go in a musesjm
Late Registration touches my heart like NO other Kanye album...very glad someone's experiencing it for the first time too I wonder if he'll cry on hey mama
“Listen to the music, sit and read the lyrics and you’re gonna understand the method behind the man” Honestly couldn’t agree more with your dad, seeing him slowly become a huge Kanye fan feels as if I’m reliving my experience through him. Great content keep it up!
Kevin reads these comments right? Kevin, if you’re reading this, I think you’ll really love Yeezus if you like Heard ‘Em Say. The first song of Yeezus shares a lot of similarities with this track. The way you described it as a “hug” I think is so accurate for the opener off Yeezus as well
Always cool seeing older people appreciate new things. Most parents are stuck in their era and never really get into anything that's new on a visceral level. Your dad is open minded and cool as hell.
His dads reaction to Diamonds from Sierra Leone is exactly how I feel every time I get a reaction to an amazing song. Legit teary eyed. Late Registration can be argued as Kanye’s best album ever it’s my second fav but the emotion, themes, song structure and let’s not even speak on the production is Kanye at his best. I truly love this channel you guys are really doing your thing. By far my favorite vid thus far. Can’t get over that reaction to Diamonds.
@@kevinfromttt can’t wait for you guys to finish the whole discography trust me you’ll love it in totality. Kanye is personally my favorite artist because he’s himself love it or hate it lol. You love music like me lol I be crying 🤣 lol
@@orlando2814I remember hearing it for the first time in my car back in the day and damn near pulling over. I’d heard nothing sonically like that in rap before, and rarely since. And it only got better lyrically with the remix. Powerful song, man. Really choice in hip hop.
I hope they point out the shift in his music after his mom passed kanye's first 4 or 5 albums are truly a musical journey and 808s and heartbreak arguably spawned a whole sub genre of what became emo rap like juice world and others 🔥 I love this channel so much thank you for reacting to the classics
@@yennyenn780 Power imo is the most expensive sounding. The song alone even had 5000 hours poured into it, so 300000 minutes spent making 4 minutes and 52 seconds of art
For me late registration was Kanye’s best instrumental album. Heard em say, touch the sky, drive slow, dfsl, drive slow, roses, celebration, late, and I’m sure there’s more. All their instrumentals are TREMENDOUS and I’ve spent hours listening to their instrumentals alone
THIS SHIT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES, MY FATHER INTRODUCED ME TO ALL OF THIS MUSIC AND TO SEE THIS FULL CIRCLE MOMENT OF YOU TEACHING YOUR FATHER, HIS APPRECIATION AND ATTENTION TO OUR CULTURE MEANS THE WORLD TO ME, HIP HOP MUSIC THANKS FOR SHARING
Hey Mama is such a beautiful yet heartbreaking song. Just knowing that Kanye lost his mother hurts me and just the thought of losing my mom too. I feel sorry for Kanye and everyone else who has lost they’re mothers , much love to you all stay strong 💪❤
It's the most important moment since this channel has started, 3 Ye albums made a person who previously never listened to hip-hop to admit that he loves Kanye. Can't wait for the next one.
Hearing your dad getting more and more into the hip hop culture is absolutely mesmerizing. If you ever have the time I feel like he would love MF DOOM lyrically
It sounds nice but when you look at the lyrics most of the time he’s just saying random words to rhyme like he could say “miller went to the filler killer and when he ate a biller hiller the piller of the pillar of the human hair and the skin is bare” his fans would still eat that shit up
IMO Kanye’s best album. I’ve always loved this arrangement top to bottom. Glad to see your dad enjoying this for the first time. It reminds me how I reacted 17 yrs ago hearing this for the first time 👍🏿
I’ve been saying this for years lol I don’t feel like his verse has been appreciated and analyzed enough to this day. So many bars that I didn’t even catch until years later
I love the end especially “Now let me end my verse right where the horns are” which is followed by the song’s brass melody. It’s simple but it’s just so good
I can’t wait for him to hear how ye’s music evolves especially after 808s. I really hate to say it but his mother’s death really changed his music and hip hop as a whole. RIP Donda
@@chillywilly4282 I agree, especially with his understanding of music theory, we can all miss the old Kanye but appreciate what he's done and continues to do in every album
being born in 2003 I've never heard these albums in full. Just the big singles released and songs that have remained relevant in pop culture years later. Watching this and College Dropout with your dad is not only his first time, but mine too. That goes for every other album as well. (I wasnt a sit down and listen to an hour long album sort of person, I am now). Point is I'm happy I can pop my cherry with your dad every week :)
Please update with your fave album once you’re updated! I was born in 98 but I remember listening to his first album in 04 when my older brother got the cd.
I was around 11-13 when Kanyes first 3 albums dropped man it was huge back in the day. Songs still hit til this day. So much nostalgia from those years.
on "My Way Home", the guy singing is actually a sample from Gil Scott Heron's "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" that's pitched down. Not sure if either of you will see this but since you said you loved his voice I thought I'd let you guys know where it's actually from :)
Bro I’m so happy with his reaction towards Diamonds From Sierra Leone, that song is insanely good. Every single time I listen to it I get chills, such an amazing piece 🤌🏽
Be by Common would be a great album to listen to at some point. With how much he's shown up on the channel and with Kanye's production it would be perfect
Diamonds is a really emotional song, a tear jerker for sure! Because it deals with finally making your dreams come true but the guilt you feel for possibly destroying someone else’s dream to get to the top. Really deep, I understand you Dad!
„Diamonds From Sierra Leone“ is a top five Kanye beat ever. Put your headphones on and just focus on all the things happening in this instrumental. Pure Perfection!
Similar to Kevin, I went from not knowing Kanye at all to listening too all of his albums just recently. After making it through his whole discography, Diamonds was the song I had on repeat. Both the original and remix are my absolute favorites
I love how much actual genuine interest your dad has in listening to the music you love. I'm a hip hop fan and my parents have never been as open-minded as Kevin is and I wish I could share the joy it brings me with them but seeing it happen with you guys is awesome
I think this album more than any of his others is his most Orchestral sounding. Lots of horns, violins, percussions. One of the reason it's my personal favorite Kanye album. Edit: My favorite track is "Gone"
In the last couple weeks or so I've gone back and listened to this album with headphones (I doubt I had done so prior). When I got to, "Gone", I was astonished that I had never paid much attention to the composition, and specifically the orchestration. Undoubtedly it is one of my favorites now. "Late", also blew me away with the bass, but the overall sound reminds me heavily of something MF DOOM would rap over, which I like. Still, my favorite song from this album remains, "Addiction".
100% Gone in my top 5, although in no particular order, Devil in a new dress, runaway, hold my liquor, Gone, flashing lights. I also agree that Gone was a slow burner for me, it's quite a long album so was lost behind Touch the Sky and Heard em Say
The Grammy version of Hey Mama is one of the most beautiful versions of the song, especially cause he performed it after she passed, it changes every tone in the song for me
Not just that, but how Kanye perfectly transitions from absolutely killing the Grammy’s by performing Stronger WITH those robots from space before perfectly transitioning to Hey Mama. Kanye is truly the greatest artist of our generation
One of many cool things about Kanye’s albums is that everyone has their own favorite album. I’ve seen a lot of people saying that this is their favorite Kanye album but for me personally it’s either Ye or TLOP.
Nas verse on We Major still gives me shivers to this day. When he said that, “I’m Jessie Jackson on the balcony when King got killed, I survived the lives niggas around”, I thought that was the coldest shit ever.
No mention of JON BRION!? He co-produced the entire album, he did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Portishead, Fiona Apple…Kanye brought him on to handle all the piano and orchestration that’s why this album is so cinematic and warm with layers
man I wish they could work together again, but I guess Ye's sound currently is very different, completely minimalist and stripped back rather than the layers we hear on LR or MBDTF. Brion's work with Mac Miller is the closest
I feel like that’s the beauty of Kanye’s Discography, there’s that much variation that each person has their different list because it shows there’s a Kanye album for everybody
808's a really hard one for me, because while it's got a couple of Kanye's best songs ever written, and is obviously one of the most influential albums in rap-pop... it also has two of Kanye's absolute worst songs too.
Watching someone who is very open minded when it comes to music and isnt familiar with kanyes music is great content. You can literally see him become a fan in real time. Cant wait for Graduation!
It’s so wholesome that Kanye adored and appreciated and celebrated Donda when she was alive and continues to do so after her passing. You can tell how much she meant to him. RIP Donda ❤️
Gone and Late were originally hidden tracks that weren't listed on the CD. You had to listen to nothing for 2 minutes after the official last song to listen to them
This series is genius because I get SO EXCITED to see his reaction to these incredible tracks. This album is so unbelievable and it’s so much fun to watch somebody hear it for the first time.
@@JamesKovacic good night appears as a bonus track on Spotify now, and the vinyl is really tough to find, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they included good night. Really want Bittersweet Poetry though that’s honestly one of my favorite Ye songs
gone is my favorite track on the album and it made me so sad that they didn't have anything to say about the last 2 verses. i think they're amazing, along with the chello which gets progressively more prominent as the song goes on, perfectly matching the tone of each verse.
this just for my own confort. i know its in the desc... 0:00 Intro 3:21 Wake Up Mr. West 3:36 Heard 'Em Say 7:57 Touch The Sky 11:45 Gold Digger 14:47 Skit #1 15:06 Drive Slow 20:31 My Way Home 23:11 Crack Music 25:39 Roses 31:15 Bring Me Down 34:00 Addiction 39:09 Skit #2 39:26 Diamonds From Sierra Leone Ft.

Kevin would really enjoy Late Orchestration where this album was performed with a full orchestra. It might not be quite suited for a full video, but it’d be cool to see his opinion in one of the monthly recaps. As always, great vid and keep it up.
His love of “touch the sky” is how I felt when I heard it for the first time. And his dad talking more about this song and gawd Damn it’s one of my faves from this album! Even though I’ve seen him so many times. Whenever he plays “touch the sky” i loose my shit!!!
Best one yet guys. Please do continue letting your dad play some guitar in-between bathroom breaks I love the format of this one and Connor you seem better able to chill on this one. Good work guys
Your relationship is so beautiful. I lost my dad on thanksgiving, and our shared music is what keeps us together, and me alive. How beautiful. The things we’ll cherish forever.
could just be the beers but watching them listen to touch the sky brought some happy tears to my eyes. really threw me back to the days when i was 10 and 11 listening to the copies of college dropout and late registration that my mom bought me. made me remember when i was really starting to fall in love with a genre of music that shaped my life. beautiful moments and videos.

"I'm back on the block like I'm laying on the street"
I can’t wait for him to hear how ye’s music evolves especially after 808s. I really hate to say it but his mother’s death really changed his music and hip hop as a whole. RIP Donda
I feel like based on his reactions to the album's so far he's gonna be one of those fans that misses the old Kanye
@@Eli_jah_ well he seems to be really open-minded and I think he'll appreciate each album for what they are individually
@@chillywilly4282 I agree, especially with his understanding of music theory, we can all miss the old Kanye but appreciate what he's done and continues to do in every album
being born in 2003 I've never heard these albums in full. Just the big singles released and songs that have remained relevant in pop culture years later. Watching this and College Dropout with your dad is not only his first time, but mine too. That goes for every other album as well. (I wasnt a sit down and listen to an hour long album sort of person, I am now). Point is I'm happy I can pop my cherry with your dad every week :)
Please update with your fave album once you’re updated! I was born in 98 but I remember listening to his first album in 04 when my older brother got the cd.
I was around 11-13 when Kanyes first 3 albums dropped man it was huge back in the day. Songs still hit til this day. So much nostalgia from those years.
@@Diana-zl3ue okie dokie. I'm only listening when they listen so it'll take as long as they do
Dude I'm in the exact same situation as you
03 gaaang
on "My Way Home", the guy singing is actually a sample from Gil Scott Heron's "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" that's pitched down. Not sure if either of you will see this but since you said you loved his voice I thought I'd let you guys know where it's actually from :)
Man has one of the coolest voices ever
Also comment #1 and #2 by him was used at the end of mbdtf for those who didn’t know
The father would eat up some of these samples if he knew about them.
Have you listened to We’re New Here - Jamie XX vs. Gil Scott-Heron?
This the comment i was looking for
Kanye has a full and well rounded package
Well this aged like milk considering Donda and TLOP and Ye existing.
A phd, a pretty huge discography
@@vrishindutt2249 ?!? TLOP and Ye are some of his best
@@vrishindutt2249 They’re all great albums⁉️
@@vrishindutt2249 all those albums are amazing, only mediocre album he got is JIK
Bro I’m so happy with his reaction towards Diamonds From Sierra Leone, that song is insanely good. Every single time I listen to it I get chills, such an amazing piece 🤌🏽
Be by Common would be a great album to listen to at some point. With how much he's shown up on the channel and with Kanye's production it would be perfect
Also an entry point to JDilla
@@purdeegood One of my favorites ever
Connor said in a recent video that they were planning to react to it, if I remember correctly!
oh man that would be dope, Ye and Dilla's production is amazing on that, the intro track, Love Is... so good
If your dad really liked the singer on track 7 the original song is called “home is where the hatred is” - Gil Scott-Heron
Literally came to the comments for this 👍
yeah pieces of man is a proto rap record even
Gil Scott-Heron is such a legend
Diamonds is a really emotional song, a tear jerker for sure! Because it deals with finally making your dreams come true but the guilt you feel for possibly destroying someone else’s dream to get to the top. Really deep, I understand you Dad!
„Diamonds From Sierra Leone“ is a top five Kanye beat ever. Put your headphones on and just focus on all the things happening in this instrumental. Pure Perfection!
I found new sounds in the back like every time I listened to it. Theres so many intricate little details
True
Similar to Kevin, I went from not knowing Kanye at all to listening too all of his albums just recently. After making it through his whole discography, Diamonds was the song I had on repeat. Both the original and remix are my absolute favorites
I like the remix better because even though Jay's verse is flames, I think Kanye's second verse on the remix is even better
I love how much actual genuine interest your dad has in listening to the music you love. I'm a hip hop fan and my parents have never been as open-minded as Kevin is and I wish I could share the joy it brings me with them but seeing it happen with you guys is awesome
My parents are open minded to some extent but yeah Kevin’s dad is cool
I’m with you 100%, anything that isn’t Country or Christian is crap in my dad’s eyes
@@griffenpeck9578 tell him to listen to Jesus is king then
Same!
@@griffenpeck9578 my dad listens to all genres including rap. he's the one who got me into it and shows me new songs all the time
Dad is a real music head. You can see that he knows his stuff eventhough it's a new genre to him
I got “shivers” just knowing how it feels to listen to diamonds from sierra leone for the first time
Don't you remember when you heard it first? For every first time listener, it must be a chilling, eye opening track.
@@ebenezeramare1 mustve been about 10 and it changed everything
I expected Hey Mama, but seeing him tear up at Diamonds from Sierra Leone was a very welcome surprise
His take on Common is amazing. Nailed that shit right on the head. Well done dad!
yesss the boys are back with another classic, Kevins going to bloody LOOOVE the skits
My favorite is between the first and the fourth. And not just because of the imposter line
@@certainpeople159 THERE IS AN IMPOSTER AMONG US
@@canonogic still haunts my dreams
I think this album more than any of his others is his most Orchestral sounding. Lots of horns, violins, percussions. One of the reason it's my personal favorite Kanye album.
Edit: My favorite track is "Gone"
Gone is so underrated
facts.
In the last couple weeks or so I've gone back and listened to this album with headphones (I doubt I had done so prior). When I got to, "Gone", I was astonished that I had never paid much attention to the composition, and specifically the orchestration. Undoubtedly it is one of my favorites now. "Late", also blew me away with the bass, but the overall sound reminds me heavily of something MF DOOM would rap over, which I like. Still, my favorite song from this album remains, "Addiction".
@@joshkellerman4553 I think its top 3 kanye
100% Gone in my top 5, although in no particular order, Devil in a new dress, runaway, hold my liquor, Gone, flashing lights.
I also agree that Gone was a slow burner for me, it's quite a long album so was lost behind Touch the Sky and Heard em Say
love seeing an older generation appreciating and listening to Kanye. makes me happy more and more people are still appreciating his discography
Cannot wait for Kevin to listen to 808s and heartbreak especially after his reaction to hey mama and how Donda's death affected Ye
Dad’s reaction to Diamonds is heartwarming. It’s a top 5 song of all time for me so it’s cool to watch someone enjoy it for the first time!
without a doubt top 5 all time. beat is always different and developing. so slept on
non remix better
@@bradleyl0488 fax
@@bradleyl0488 naw jay verse is cold
@@just-a-guy9857 The perfect Diamonds from Sierra Leone would include Kanye’s verses from the bonus track and Jay Z’s verse from the remix
Let’s goooo Dad for appreciating Brandy’s voice…she is considered the “vocal bible” in the culture!!!
Diamonds from Sierra Leone has always been my favorite from this album. Love that the dad appreciated it so much, Truly a timeless album!
Love how he felt on Hey Mama. Such a powerful song till this day
Your dad’s genuine emotional reaction to this album is such a beautiful thing to have captured.
The Grammy version of Hey Mama is one of the most beautiful versions of the song, especially cause he performed it after she passed, it changes every tone in the song for me
Not just that, but how Kanye perfectly transitions from absolutely killing the Grammy’s by performing Stronger WITH those robots from space before perfectly transitioning to Hey Mama. Kanye is truly the greatest artist of our generation
One of many cool things about Kanye’s albums is that everyone has their own favorite album. I’ve seen a lot of people saying that this is their favorite Kanye album but for me personally it’s either Ye or TLOP.
I personally think MBDTF is the best Kanye album, but Graduation is easily my favorite
MDBTF or 808s
Yeezus
Y’all are just proving this guys point. At the end of the day, Kanye is a creative GENIUS!
my favorite kanye album is 808s
Nas verse on We Major still gives me shivers to this day. When he said that, “I’m Jessie Jackson on the balcony when King got killed, I survived the lives niggas around”, I thought that was the coldest shit ever.
Man I love this channel. Also pointing out that "Hey Mama" was a celebration when it came out but now its an emotional poem is an important call out
No mention of JON BRION!? He co-produced the entire album, he did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Portishead, Fiona Apple…Kanye brought him on to handle all the piano and orchestration that’s why this album is so cinematic and warm with layers
man I wish they could work together again, but I guess Ye's sound currently is very different, completely minimalist and stripped back rather than the layers we hear on LR or MBDTF. Brion's work with Mac Miller is the closest
Punch-Drunk Love too
I love how you turned your dad into die hard ye fan.
HE NEEDS TO EXPERIENCE YANDHI
it's definitely a part of ye universe
U should get ur dad to rank all the kanye albums once you get through his discography
Thats actually a sick idea
That seems like a recipe for disaster
An impossible task
I feel like that’s the beauty of Kanye’s Discography, there’s that much variation that each person has their different list because it shows there’s a Kanye album for everybody
Don't think they care for ranking things, just enjoying it
y’all gotta do 808s and let him know he made that shit in 2 weeks
They are doing the releases in order
i didn't know that
808's a really hard one for me, because while it's got a couple of Kanye's best songs ever written, and is obviously one of the most influential albums in rap-pop... it also has two of Kanye's absolute worst songs too.
@@Yawnscast robocop and see you in my nightmares?. For me in Graduation that happens with Barry bonds and Drunk and hot girls
@@arcadde993 tbh i love robocop and barry bonds
Watching someone who is very open minded when it comes to music and isnt familiar with kanyes music is great content. You can literally see him become a fan in real time. Cant wait for Graduation!
It’s so wholesome that Kanye adored and appreciated and celebrated Donda when she was alive and continues to do so after her passing. You can tell how much she meant to him. RIP Donda ❤️
Gone and Late were originally hidden tracks that weren't listed on the CD. You had to listen to nothing for 2 minutes after the official last song to listen to them
This series is genius because I get SO EXCITED to see his reaction to these incredible tracks. This album is so unbelievable and it’s so much fun to watch somebody hear it for the first time.
As someone who grew up without a father I appreciate this even more. Thanks for sharing this wholesome experience.
lost mine the same year too. may they rest In peace
I hope you include “Bittersweet Poetry” for the graduation video, it’s such a great song to pass
Gotta include Good Night as well. Cute song and it bookends the album
@@JamesKovacic good night appears as a bonus track on Spotify now, and the vinyl is really tough to find, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they included good night. Really want Bittersweet Poetry though that’s honestly one of my favorite Ye songs
gone is my favorite track on the album and it made me so sad that they didn't have anything to say about the last 2 verses. i think they're amazing, along with the chello which gets progressively more prominent as the song goes on, perfectly matching the tone of each verse.
Feel u. Gone is one of the fews I always go back to
@@Kneezus53 oh for me late registration is one of my favorite albums of his, so i listen to like at least 3/4ths the album constantly
kanye has one of the greatest discographies of any artist, idk how he can release such consistently good music
I don’t think anyone has one better
The wait was worth it! This is personally my favorite Kanye album and Brings a lot to his discography glad he enjoyed it

Yea i was like "one of the best ever" but ok lmao
Can't ever forget that triple entendre "I'm tryna stop lyin' like I'm Mumm-Ra"
Kevin would really enjoy Late Orchestration where this album was performed with a full orchestra. It might not be quite suited for a full video, but it’d be cool to see his opinion in one of the monthly recaps. As always, great vid and keep it up.
I absolutely love how excited Pops gets when experiencing the music!.. I wish Ye could see y'alls reactions... I'm sure he'd appreciate it!
Rename it Dad reacts to greatest album of all time
FACT
But they already saw My beautiful dark twisted fantasy
easily
hahaha
@@blenshanegro3260 bruh nah Late Registration is better
His love of “touch the sky” is how I felt when I heard it for the first time. And his dad talking more about this song and gawd Damn it’s one of my faves from this album!
Even though I’ve seen him so many times. Whenever he plays “touch the sky” i loose my shit!!!
Diamonds from Sierra Leone might just be the greatest rap song I’ve ever heard.
Really envying your music relationship with your dad man, it’s honestly beautiful.
Best one yet guys. Please do continue letting your dad play some guitar in-between bathroom breaks I love the format of this one and Connor you seem better able to chill on this one. Good work guys
Thx Ryan :)
Your relationship is so beautiful. I lost my dad on thanksgiving, and our shared music is what keeps us together, and me alive. How beautiful. The things we’ll cherish forever.
I'm sorry for your loss, live on
LMAO CUTTING HIM OFF WITH NOBODY SPEAK WAS PERFECT
THIS IS ART
I’m loving his references to other hipho artist as he’s expanding his experience with this genre it’s so cool
Gone, Late and Crack Music are crazy underated.
brother its 3AM and I got work in the morning but I gotta watch whenever Connor and Kevin drop on us
could just be the beers but watching them listen to touch the sky brought some happy tears to my eyes. really threw me back to the days when i was 10 and 11 listening to the copies of college dropout and late registration that my mom bought me. made me remember when i was really starting to fall in love with a genre of music that shaped my life. beautiful moments and videos.
pretty much cant hold back tears every time I hear Hey Mama. single mom doing all she could, proud mamas boy here
