The "bad singing" is intentional, its supposed to be raw and emotional more than its supposed to be good.
exactlyy i agree. i think it's supposed to fall in and out of key & be layered so that the vocals aren't everything.. if you look at the lyrics too, it's pretty clear that it's all super intentional
Facts
DMX was raw and emotional.... but still good. This song is just awful. Music is for the ears, if it doesn't sound good then it's not good music. Period.
MonsterBaby Steve Wilson you think this song is awful? Lmao ok
@@swanton47 yeah, it's not a good song. At all. It's music, how it SOUNDS matters..... And this sounds terrible.
Your reaction was longer than the whole album
Diet Dr Kelp cause of the ad revenue
@@toxicboogaloo8102 yea buddy
@@toxicboogaloo8102 there is no ads on this video lol

Damn, I'm usually with you guys on this stuff but missing the point of all the off-key stuff. This is a song about being broken and finding peace and solace within that. That's why these beautiful melodies are hidden behind off-key singing. Kanye is a precision point mastermind, so if you think it wasn't intentional....
X amen
Also the song mimics bipolar episodes and the lyrics at the end, esp. the sound effects, represent mania. Its a masterpiece for sure, one of the only songs that REALLY captures it
Couldn’t have said it better
amen they missed this one big time g
Idk kid cudi is always off key its possible it’s just bad
The album is beautiful and transparent. The more I listen to it the more I appreciate it.
I love it.
ändrew Salter I definitely consider it a plus when an artist can put down his thoughts his visions and be completely honest about who he is who he is becoming and what he was. In an industry where lifestyles are fabricated it’s actually refreshing to see an artist be his authentic self even if he doesn’t necessarily know what it is.
Same Here Definitely one of Kanyes Best 👏🏻👏🏻
Cas9a Maybe one of the best of his worst
Yeh, I never felt this at peace and transcendent with a Kanye album since MBDTF. I felt so refreshed after hearing this album
I think it’s worth noting that this track was finished the same day it came out, according to 070 Shake, the lady singing in the end.
Bittah this whole album was made in the time after he said “slavery was a choice”. Charlamagne said he heard the real album before that event happened and not even one song on this is the same
deadass b
Thats the album i wanna hear to be honest
Bittah I thought the lady at the end was Billie Eilish because 070 shake sounds just like her in this track so I was confused as to why she wasn’t listed in the features lmao
I completely disagree that he should have a good soul singer on this song. As music listeners, there are certain melodies and paths we expect a song to take once we hear the music. Since the this song (and album) are about confusion of the self and not being able to articulate your vision I think Kanye had PartyNextDoor mumble and Kid Cudi on vocals on purpose. It's meant to be the musical equivalent of that skewed messaging. We expect the melody to go one place but instead it falls flat.
I also think it's meant to sound raw like you guys said since this album is meant to be Kanye's inner thoughts without all the grandeur that comes with his outer image.
Thanks for the reaction! You guys are the best!
I just thought of this too. It works even better because we as an audience know that J Kid Cudi is a great rapper but his message isn't coming through. The fact that we know that is another way Kanye uses our expectations to make it fall even more flat.
Sam You are spot on!!!
U are exactly right...they just dont get it..
Sam it's not John Legend btw. It's Partynextdoor
Sam Y'all reaching on this one. The fact of the matter is, he just half assed the song. It was finished the day it was released. He just took the reference track and called it a day.
You picked the right one. I cannot stop listening to this track. That outro is legendary
Best part of the song
I PUT MY HAND ON THE STOOOVE
That was not John legend either, it was PARTYNEXDOOR
It's 070 shake
@@zaydshaikh8274 well yeah but partynextdoor is in the song also, listed as a feature
Kanye is like the Brian Wilson of hip hop. This track is astonishing. In 20 years this will be recognized as his greatest work (to date!)
this might be the greatest comparison i’ve heard in a while
@@waduhek3988 this comparison was way ahead of its time.
Imo Ghost Town is the best track on the album lmao
I dont think the aim for Kid Cudi sound in this song was to be sweet and vocally pitch perfect, I like the fact that his voice had a painful rawness to it.
Kid Cudi is purposely making it sound vulnerable and painful. It mimics the lyrics on how it is supposed to be heart wrenching. Think of it more like a cry for help and a longing rather than a singing bit.
Edit: Man! Ryan really trippin on this one, how you even gonna dislike 070 shake part?!
Just because there's an explanation for it doesnt mean he'll like the way it sounds.
I know, I'm just saying. I feel like it'll growing on him. He wasn't looking at the song for what it is, I think Ryan is missing what the whole song is sonically trying to capture and convey and that sort of kept him from really 'listening' to the song throughout.
Honestly, from a musical point of view it really sounds awful. So many off tones, no real melodies or coherence at all. I agree with Ryan; appreciate the message and creativity, but it sounds terrible.
Joseph Roth because it is kanye
Ya but the point of it is to sound terrible.... You're still not getting it.
same thing for me on the kid cudi, it sounded amazing to me from the beginning but I love cudi and I have acquired the ear for his voice despite him clearly being off key on that one line haha.
Joseph Roth its always a point if its music
TheActivistBook 808 not a classic but it's a good album
@@justmyopinion1098 808s a classic fym?
im glad y’all chose this song to be the song y’all reacted to, it’s so amazing!
My favourite song on the album. I get the criticisms but the soul of it gets me. Great work guys !
Kev very soulful 🙌🏽 very melodic
Kev I think u should listen to it couples more time and it will grow on you
4 years later, still frequently played in my house!
For me this song was one of seven that I just loved and I had to go back and look at footage of him saying the nonsense we all know he said and looking back I now understand through the music what he was trying to say and you guys are so right the problem is he does not know how to properly translate his thoughts into words that other people can accept because society is right now very complicated and you have to be very careful of who you offend and how, and part of what Kanye is trying to get across to people is that sometimes you need to just say what you’re thinking step outside of the box outside of the lines or the limits that you have been told you have to think in and be free once you are constantly bound by other’s limits you are technically mentally enslaved. I think again he honestly is coming from a genuine place and a thoughtful place because a lot of the song lyrics invite you to deeper thoughts and a better understanding of what he actually is trying to say and I think it’s really brilliant to refer to back when we were kids as you guys said that’s basically your age of innocence and as a child you are free in your thinking in a different way because you’re not yet aware of what is appropriate for others and what isn’t I just love the meaning behind the lyrics. This is just my opinion no one needs to agree with me lol🤗
Tabita D Placide yikes was my favorite
Johnathan Hernandez favorite line of the Album, “the say you high Ye, I say good thing they didn’t catch me on a wild day”
I agree, I always felt like when it came to Kanye speaking his mind very abruptly, sort of randomly, and just overall in a scattered matter, that's when he's come off as "crazy" and uninformed to the public. so when it comes to presenting himself and his thoughts to the world, art and in this case specifically, music is his most fluent language
Getting some good MBDTF vibes from this, Mike Dean snapped btw
Yeah it's those guitars
Mike Dean is best hip hop instrumentalist of all time
Dylan Connely he started out with the Ghetto boys
The audio for the Kid Cudi part has been stretched. It is why some of his "notes" sound drawn out. The "John Legend" part is PartyNextDoor. The sample is "Someday" by Shirley Ann Lee.
regardless of the differentiating thoughts about this song, this was a raw, honest, great review
This track is incredible
Being a metalhead, listening to stuff like this is refreshing! #freethinkers
If you guys can't decide what kind of metal to do next....
Pantera - Domination (Live in Moscow 1991)
Keep going my dudes!
ThePaJomaster Phil sounds horrible on this live performance.
It's all about Dime...
Drew Legere he sounds fine
It's about the energy, guitar solo and breakdown, audience
It's about powerfull energy and libido of this guys put in this performance,what It is Amazing!! Pantera for ever 🤘🤘
FLATBUSH ZOMBIES- HEADSTONE
Victory, Victory, Gold on my neck, Mr T
For me this song has a huge Velvet Underground feel. The intentionally raw sound that bridges the gap between almost folk music and experimental psychedelic rock. Not always pleasant to listen to, but the art lies in the dissonance.
Check out some early velvet underground see what you think. Something like Sunday Morning or There She Goes Again or All Tomorrows Parties.
Honestly the fact that you just made a connection between two of my favorite artists of all time Kanye and Slash just made me happy lol.
Where did he reference slash?
Great point, this song gave me VU vibes as well. Velvet Underground - Venus in Furs would be a great song to react to as well!
Logan Hill Slash is in Velvet Revolver, not Velvet underground
Logan Hill lmao, honest mistake, but go listen to VU, Lou Reed and John Cale
That was some good shit George. Kanye gotta holla.
I feel like when kanye brought up slavery is a choice.. He meant mental slavery threw all forms of media due to that fact they use this for mass manipulation.. Also working a 9 to 5 job is a form of slavery also. Especially when u working gor a company that makes 20k a day and then pay employees minimum wage while they profit millions a month..so i agree with that
Johnathan Hernandez exactly. Modern slavery not what happened back then. Said the same thing with some guys at work
I wished he would of just said mental slavery from the start it would have never been blown out of proportion.
he said 400 years. Which implied "back then" which at that point intime it wasnt a choice
Physical Slavery only lasted 200 years. Slavery started a little less than 400 years ago so he had always implied it was mental slavery.
Sir_Drastic physical slavery on earth was since forever.. And slavery didnt have a color people enslaved there own people for profits lol but i get what u mean
Definitely should’ve picked violent crimes over this. Kanye was rapping real shit on that one
It’s interesting coming back to peoples original reaction to songs, I had a totally different experience with this song but til this day ghost town is one of my favorite songs
I was expecting “ All Mine “ haha but we’re thankful you touched it at all #FreeThinkers
I feel like Cudis delivery works perfectly for what he’s actually saying “I’ve been trying to make you love me, but everything thing I try just takes you further from me” he’s basically pleading with the listener that he’s attempting to do whatever he can to keep the love you have for him. Which in turn relates to Kanye trying to push the envelope and people hating him
Andrew this needa be liked more. Facts
U, u got what I neeeeeeeeeeeeed
Sean Mesenbrink It’s exactly like that lmao
Perfect comment. 💯
you said this perfectly. only real fans understand.
I think too many people over think the song and don't feel the raw type of emotion that Kanye is trying to convey. I believe Kanye knows exactly how he wanted it to sound. Everyone entitled to their own opinion. #freethinkers
It's partynextdoor not John legend
Mark K you sure?
No, it's John legend. Pnd appears earlier on the album
ducksonmeth it's party. Malik Yusef who worked on the album confirmed it. As well as Genius.com credits
Anil Vellanki that's wrong
Mark K damn is really pnt? shit...
This Reaction is almost as long as the whole Album :D
Lol!
lmfao
Great video as always, I LOVE the rawness of the song. It's like different stages of him. He's struggling to find it, when he does he's to medicated, it becomes clear, and now he's free. Wouldn't Leave is great as well. But overall a good album different in a good way.
This vid just made my lunch break a whole lot better 🔥
Logan Knorr I’m eating lunch too 🍕🍕
Same! Lol
😂🔥 this was very entertaining! Songs a creatively orchestrated mess. Kanye still a maestro. Kid Cudi rocks🤘 Superb unbiased reaction guys💯
I can't believe I'm giving a thumbs-up to a Kanye song, but this really did catch me by surprise.... it's not at all in my usual musical comfort zone, but I appreciate this for the weird, creative mess it is. Maybe that awful Periphery song has finally broken my ability to tell the difference between noise and music? Whatever the case, this thing sometimes kind of reminds me of some of the deliberately weird experimental stuff the Beatles or Pink Floyd were doing - maybe not the same calibre as those two giants of psychedelic rock, but I'm still enjoying myself here!
Pietr Ayday Dude this whole channel about being a free thinker when it comes to music, don’t bash Kanye just because it’s Kanye. If you actually listen to his discography you’re sure to find something that resonates with you.
George: I actually like the way that sounds...
Ryan: Really?!?
Lmao
Ya'll need BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME!!!
Clashcor _ someone requested it earlier lol
I've been requesting on almost every video for months lol
I read this when it happened haha
What I really like about this song is that not only does it start with a more melancholy town and then turns into this great almost spiritual sonnet.
It’s seems as if he wanted some of the music to be off key on purpose to get you to really listen to what is being said. As a musician I really appreciate those off key moments because they are so intentional.
Wiz Herb true , he wanted it off key
You guys have the best reaction channel
This one song review is the same length as the entire album 😂
I was waiting for your reaction to the album but I'll take this 😁. Was also here thinking this is going to be the test. You guys nailed the unbiaseness to the t 🤗. Wow you listened without prejudice unlike some so called radio hosts. Reviewing music should be just like this, unbiased. Hope you guys end up on tv or radio because you're really good.
Madina Kass - word. I'm hesitant to share them with the commercial world of tv or radio. They would have to be framed to a certain style of specific show, and that is not them. I don't believe they would be as free as they would like to be on air. But, they are that good. Love these guys.
Ruben Gz Drake said in his duppy freestyle I could never have a Virgil in my circle and hold him back cause he makes me nervous. I want to see my brothers flourish to their higher purposes. I do to.
If they eventually get there (tv or radio) I hope they remember they built their TH-cam following on being unbiased. People no matter how powerful and rich they are, have a lot of respect and admirations for people with integrity.
whatever, people cant react to Azealia's music without bringing up old bs, why should Kanye be exempted.
i'm 90% sure kanye has aspergers (i have aspergers btw) so it's really interesting looking at his lyrics and how he acts in interviews. i'd really like to have a conversation with him some day
When the reaction video of one song is almost as long as the entire album lol
But great job guys, shout-out to my free-thinkers!
Btw, yall gotta react to some Lupe! I'd suggest Mural, Failure or Prisoner 1 & 2
Violent crimes is my favorite song on the album y’all should definitely react to it!!!
FADE TO BLACK 💕💕💕💕
I really liked the album! It stands out from everything else that came out so far this year.
Ohhhhhhh can't believe we're losing the violent crimes reaction. TH-cam get in the bin with this copyright bsss
George: I think I like this part🤔
Ryan:…… okay🥴🤨
Killed me😂😂😂
Ryan Roastin on this one! LOL
My favorite song of all time
wut lol
It's partynextdoor singing at the start not John legend , song is amazing though 070 shake killed that outro
Also if you guys get back into the UK scene at any time gotta check out Aitch -straight rhymez 1 , 17 year old kid taken the scene by storm, crazy flow and wordplay.
Best review I've seen/read! Thank yoU!
Please react to Lupe Fiasco - Mural
Joe Jelly that would be a long ass video lol
Oh13richt for sure haha. These guys would do such a good breakdown though.
One of, if not the most underrated rap songs out there
Yes please. Thats a top 50 hip hop track of all time to me.
Royce bodied that beat
Very dope interpretation of this video.
I agree. They are super objective and always deliver a positive message behind the songs they react to. Love these dudes! Where would hip hop be without wise grey tops hahaha
I THUMPED UP BEFORE I WATCHED 😍😍😍
Mi-Mi Canterbury *thumbed
Mi-Mi Can
All the songs to me are so refreshing due to how unique it is. It acts like an escape to the constant repetitive sound in today’s hip-hop
Danny A an escape into a new universe.
Tool - The Pot
Just know that the time the left guy re listens to it, with an emotional state of mind, not In his objective analytical pov, putting his feelings into the song, he'll realise how special the song is and how much of a masterpiece it is to convey that raw emotion.
I think this track is mostly Cudi. I surely think he wrote the lyrics that Shake sang. The lasers and futuristic sounding arrangements all seems like Cudi. I love this track and hope it grows on ya, Ryan. Find yourself a dark room with a good sound system and try to experience the track again. Best reactions on the web, keep it going guys!
Legacy Rant 070 Shake wrote her verse
Brandon Clinkscale I think so too but I heard also that cudi was originally gonna do the outdo to ghost town but Kanye changed his mind and put this on his album and added shake.
Hi my name is Bones Aragon I'm the drummer from the sample Kanye West use on the Ghost Town song the band's name was the Royal Jesters from San Antonio,Tx the song Take For A Little While was recorded around 1967 ,listen to it it's on TH-cam along with numerous songs we recorded,I'm enjoying your post..thx
Don't bet it on on taking your life.... What I get from the album is feelings of being Bipolar.
I also think John Legend was meant to sound distorted.
It wasn't John Legend, it was PARTYNEXTDOOR
Amazing analysis! Saw this and the Pusha Adidon video, SUBSCRIBED!!! You guys had me thinking, I thought I had it figured out.
I like this song because it's different. Also Kanye is in the top 3 producers in the game. In my opinion.
Top 1
Top 1 in terms of the diversity of his discography
Who are the other 2
I gotta go with Dr. Dre #1 because that's the law. But you know my #2 is that guy Mr. Dj (David Sheats)
Randy Lambrecht this is your all time picks ?
THIS MADE MY DAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR GUYS VID
Flatbush Zombies - Headstone!!! Please!!
You guys always on the grind !
sounds like auto-tune taking it out of tune on purpose
agreed
I'm super excited that you did this one! Keep coming with the great work guys!
Highly Suspect - Lydia
Or Queens of the Stone Age - no one knows ...love the reactions, keep'em coming. #Freethinkers
M Porten Yo! Lydia is one of the greatest songs ever!
yall trippn ! this track tuff !!!!!💥🔊🔊🔊🔊💥❗️its soul and the master mind of kanye being a producer/artist
This track was done the exact same day as the album release, per 070 shake the girl singing,
ANGUISH. That's that shit you can hear in Cudi's voice. It might be off but its got that raw emotion 🔥🔥
Nah I think these were the perfect people, this song ain’t supposed to be sung perfectly. It’s supposed to be wailing and crooning and kinda like a vase with faded paint, and chips in it, holding a rose. A regular presentation wouldn’t nearly capture my soul like this song does.
Yo the way you guys break down music 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 shubscribed!!
Architects - Gone with the Wind
I love you guys! This is definitely the most genuine channel I’ve seen on TH-cam
The first artist on this is Partynextdoor, not John legend lol
Love yalls reaction !!
ASAP rocky - praise the lord ft. Skepta
really love this song and really appreciate how genuine you guys are with this reaction. i know i cant find reactions this unbiased and this real anywhere else on youtube.
MGMT - Electric Feel
I got a beatles vibe at the end off the song. i feel kind of free, and nothing hurts anymore. maybe its just me but I hear a beatles spirit. Very Dope!!
Damn, you dudes got on my nerves about the vocals. Imagine how whack this song would be if he had impeccably perfect vocals. The whole point is when you're not at your supposed best.
grover sands Just because there’s an explanation doesn’t mean you will suddenly like it. I’m sure they appreciate the message they just don’t like how it sounds.
This has become my favorite reaction channel.. Y'all will literally catch every bar & break it all down(With actual correct info lol)... Its too many other reaction pages that let damn near 75% of bars & metaphors fly right over their damn heads... Keep it up fellas ✊🏽💯
I heard it was PARTYNEXTDOOR, not John Legend.
Hey guys, I’m a white 19 year old kid from a small town in the south. My town is often called the most racist town in America, a town where there are 14,000 people and only 70 of them are minorities. I was raised by older parents that were hippies in the 60’s and have always been open minded and I have never been racist whatsoever. When I left for college to play baseball after high school I was in for a huge culture shock because the town I went to was primarily black. I’ve always loved hip-hop, and hip-hop was the only connection I had with the black friends I made at school because we went through different struggles. I was raised below the poverty line but the struggles were entirely different from what people from the inner city go through. But you’re reaction videos shed so much light on certain situations and helped me learn so much about hip-hop that the place I was raised never even made me skip a beat with understanding and respecting everyone. I’m so happy that you two dissect the videos you do... Without your videos I may have been a product of the town I was raised in, not even on purpose, but I’m not. You guys inspired me, changed me, and allowed me to be culturally diverse and I’m forever grateful.
React to A$AP Rocky - A$AP Forever please!!
You guys are the realest reaction channel ever. You don't hate things to fit in or get more views, you actually give things a listen and break down the lyrics.
React to MF DOOM, please!
I really love you guys. The way you analyze, discuss & extend each other's opinions.
Do more token or teambackpack. Token - code red, Teambackpack - First 48
My favorite song on the album, glad you guys uploaded this!
For every new video, I shall continue to request this. You guys gotta hear Southtown Writers, a country band my dad sings for. It would mean a lot to me if y’all gave em a listen. I’d like for y’all to check out their song Don’t Give Up On Me on their TH-cam channel. My dad did AMAZING on the vocals of that song, and I think you guys will enjoy it
Maybe he wanted some raw delivery to parallel the way he doesn't express his ideas in a sharp way. Like he is replicating the flaw in his twitter stuff in his songs vocals.
John Legend isn't on that track I don't think. I know PartyNextDoor and Kid Cudi is
Takes a few listens to this song for the bad vocals to completely disappear and see this as one of the best songs you ever heard
Igorrr - ieuD
Ye to this.
This is seriously one of the best most well thought out yet in the moment reactions I could imagine for this song. Yall are so wise and introspective about the music you react to, it's less of a reaction and more of an in depth translation. All of the kudos to yall for killing this shit. No other reactors can talk this much and captivate me to not skip what they're saying
Ryan and George are the truth!
Love your guys channel! I appreciate the variety of music you guys review, and how you really talk about the lyrics and break it down.
Have you two considered doing a podcast? I would definitely listen to exactly what you're doing now in podcast form.
Anyway, keep up the great work! Much respect
Best Song on the album.
