Note: I recently learned that in another interview, Kanye debunked the stories of him crying when he was rejected. According to Kanye, that was something that Time Magazine took out of context.
DO JAY-Z ALBUMS THATS ALL I ASK NEXT HIM AND KANYE ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THE CULTURE AND THEY BOTH HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE PERSONALLY AND ALSO MANY OTHERS..
I mean, it did change his life. In a lot of ways, Jamie was just like Kanye at that point. Jamie was trying to break into the music industry too, but no one really wanted to back him seriously. They wanted him to just stick to acting. The song he did with Kanye showed him how to switch up his style and eventually pave the way for his music career.
rich369963 wish he would’ve pursued music more though I feel like he could’ve went down as one of the greats cause he’s an amazing vocalist. Definitely loved Slow Jamz, Gold Digger and Blame It On The Alcohol though
If you ever feel like you're doing too many Kanye Videos, You're WRONG. Thank you for always putting 100% in your videos, it's always a pleasure to see a new video from you.
Glad im not the only one. This album meant so much to me as a teenager and to see how many times he was rejected while at the same time still believing himself in a project that spoke to my soul just choked me up
Kanye divides rap history in two eras - before and after Kanye debut. On 10th February 2004 he changed this genre forever. He paved a way for Drake, Migos and other singers-rappers. Hip-hop is not associated only with gangsters and drug dealers any more thanks to him.
It's fucking insane and inspirational how Kanye just KNEW, he fucking KNEW he was going to become not only a rapper but a rapper of the highest caliber. That kind of passion, skill, and confidence is nearly unparalleled.
@@teddyrubskin54 Right? I usually never put tracks on my playlist that have talking bits like that but that one just grooves. Add to it that its entertaining as all hell. lol
One of my favorite joints! the original beat was actually produced by Evidence (of Dilated Peoples) for Jay z (the mr Rockefeller sample) but Kanye said “nah I’m the new Rockefeller” and kept it for himself.
There is no era of Kanye that I really hate, even ones like Yeezus or TLOP (though The Life of Pablo continues to grow on me) though not my favorites. Bring something SOOOO interesting even if it doesn't quite work for me. The college dropout story always inspires me and I can't wait for you to tackle Late Registration. These videos on Ye are always a treat.
Thank you for this! *I MisS ThE OlD KaNyE* sentiments never settle with me well . I honestly loved TLOP, I was in Madison square garden at the listening party . I won tickets in new York from a complex video . it was amazing .
The lyrical content on "The College Droupout" is easily the greatest lyrically of all Kanye's album. It was all truth, fire, and high level of genius. It wasn't about "Bitches, drugs, and guns", it was real.
I think you forgetting about a couple of tracks lol. The album gets real as hell but hes also got tracks like Get Em High, Breathe In, Breathe Out, New Workout plan, etc. that embrace the money and hoes side of things lol
Coming here after Ye’s Netflix documentary. Kanye really put everything into his first album, it was years in the the making. It must have been excruciating for him to be knocking on doors and get rejected, especially after his car accident. He made/funded the MV of Through The Wire himself with his friends with makeshift equipments. It’s just mind blowing!
The journey about the college drop out (best Hip Hop album ever in Hip Hop History) from Kanye West really teaches us a lesson; self believe and perseverance are the greatest tool. Kanye West impacted the Hip Hop Culture, most importantly his journey to sucess taught us to be our selves.
*_My God._* The level of excellence in your videos is absolutely outstanding. These Kanye videos are incredible. Please, _please,_ *_please_* do Watch The Throne.
I love to watch your videos. I feel like some of Kanye's perfectionism is visible in your videos as well. Especially in the Kanye videos. I see your passion and I feel it. Keep up the good work and follow your passions. One day you'll get your big breakout just like Kanye even if you want to do beats (TH-cam) or rapping (the big screen). Big up, man!
Being from Chicago, this is the type of aggressive attitude and wok ethic you have to have to get far in life. For some odd reason we always feel like we're fighting our way out of the city to something greater and it often does happen. This video just lit a fire under me. I was so down and uninterested in what i was doing the last week and THANK YOU, thank you for doing this video. I'm ready to starting smashing it again. Thank you. For reminding me what I was supposed to...
I was 2 years old when college dropout released. I still have many fond memories of college dropout, Late regristration, Graduation, 808 and heartbreaks, and MBDTF sprinkled throughout my childhood. So grateful to be born when I was
All the crazy stuff he been saying lately (and I legit hope he gets the help he needs rn) this man is easily one of the greatest artists of all time. Dude has some of the most consistent discography in the game
Kanye is a hawk, he sees it all. Call him crazy, 'he's not. He got plans, some paid off big time and others will too. He' working hard before he retires and be one of the icons the world would learn from and look up to. Much respect!
His passion plus being turned down laughed at and scoffed at is why Kanye will always have a complexity to him, as dope and iconic as he is...he will always be self conscious...Through the wire was what I fell in love with and despite all his ups and downs it’s hard to leave him behind...
I love Kanye. Through the ups and downs, the strokes of genius, and the fits of insanity; I love Kanye. I’ve always loved music, especially Hip-Hop and his music has always resonated with me deeply. I love the fact that he’s always believed in himself. It doesn’t matter if the whole world is telling you no. If you want it bad enough, then go out there and be great.
It’s crazy how well Ye balances getting his word and truth across at no cost, while still making it as commercialy as he thinks is on the right level (which it always is) while never being a sell out!
listening to college dropout now it feels as if it’s in a league of its own I’ve never heard an album so complete and full i can take away a new lesson each and everytime i listen to it Kanye rapping is kinda of a storytelling type thing except you can feel what he went through with every word
Just now took the time to learn the history of Kanye and how he made it. Bro is a legend. I hate to use the term idol, but he definitely set a standard and prime example for young entrepreneurs fighting to make it or even get started out of fear of rejection, to never back down, believe in yourself, and make your life what you want it to be through the dedication to making your dreams a reality through hard work and perseverance. Absolute legend and truly inspiring. From a college drop out and rejected rapper, to a HOF Artist and owner of a Billion Dollar Fashion company. A inspiration and example of anything’s possible…Kanye West.
Note: I recently learned that in another interview, Kanye debunked the stories of him crying when he was rejected. According to Kanye, that was something that Time Magazine took out of context.
Please do Michael Jackson - Thriller album. A HUGE INSPIRATION to everyone, especially those who inspire us now!
Michael Stubbs we need Off The Wall and Bad as well

i love how i saw this comment while scrolling down and he just said it in the vid
I'm convinced Jamie Foxx has told that Kanye story like 20 times at this point
I mean, it did change his life. In a lot of ways, Jamie was just like Kanye at that point. Jamie was trying to break into the music industry too, but no one really wanted to back him seriously. They wanted him to just stick to acting. The song he did with Kanye showed him how to switch up his style and eventually pave the way for his music career.
True. It's still always fun to listen to.
And still it never gets old.
And it never gets old, just like the Mike Tyson story, just shows how good of a storyteller Jaime is
rich369963 wish he would’ve pursued music more though I feel like he could’ve went down as one of the greats cause he’s an amazing vocalist. Definitely loved Slow Jamz, Gold Digger and Blame It On The Alcohol though

Dont let the Controversies distract you from the fact that Kanye West is a hip hop legend. Respect him!
NO CAP!!!
Always... Can't nothing stop his SHINE.
as true today as it was 3 years ago
This was so good, made me emotional because it's hard to think about what hip hop would've been without kanye west. WAKE UP MR WEST
Glad im not the only one. This album meant so much to me as a teenager and to see how many times he was rejected while at the same time still believing himself in a project that spoke to my soul just choked me up
I always get some goosebumps when I heard Trough the wire and I imagine what would have happened if he hadn't been in the accident
What does "wake up Mr West" even mean?
@@MrCHI2cool In the Intro to Late Registration a guy talks about Kanye and at the end he shouts "Wake Up Mr. West"

That was 4 days after i was born
Nor was it before him. The golden age era of hip hop in the late 80s. Not much violence in those songs.

Last Call was probably his best song ever.. He literally tells his whole story! He stayed persistent and he got signed! My favorite rapper of all time
Not only that..... That beat is a road trip instrumental. I can play that over and over and over.

I’m kinda sad that it’s taken me this long to discover the genius that is Kanye. I can’t imagine how crowded his mind must be.
Kanye a genius, idc about his political thoughts, the man is a mastermind.
I think he has good ideas he just struggles with how to express them sometimes
@74kjohnson hes the first artist to actually break away from the elitist opinions, and you niggahs still cant figure that out
Lore Draker in 5 years time they will

@@datvu6 back when complex was worth watching
Yall caught when he said he was bipolar from his FIRST ALBUM that's kind of nuts
we shoulda paid more attention to that lmao
Kanye’s life is a living best selling autobiography
The lyrical content on "The College Droupout" is easily the greatest lyrically of all Kanye's album. It was all truth, fire, and high level of genius. It wasn't about "Bitches, drugs, and guns", it was real.
Also Late Registration got some real lyrics
Especially on “All Falls Down”

I've never enjoyed a series on youtube this much. You're killing it man!
I love this Making of Kanye albums, the production gets better every time, can't wait for The Making of Graduation.

Through the wire is one of the greatest songs ever written
