Doesn't matter what song he sampled it's a whole different song and it's his own meaning. That doesn't take away any meaning of the song if anything more people have become aware of the song because Kanye used the sample.
Big tune differently R.I.P to.my friend Troy who died today and we both use to listen to this tune differently. # strange fruit hanging... from the poplar trees... blood on the leaves 💖👑✊💯% us people suffer really stuff. LOUD with our laughter. Silent with our suffering!!
I'm not sure how someone won't know what it means. The statement isn't cryptic or implicit or a metaphor. The term "strange fruit," however, is all of those things.
People I think the point of the sample is too get you too do your history... after this song I finally learned about the original and then seen the video. Kayne is no dummy...
@@olistevanovic1383 ehh.. he is underrated in terms of his music. he makes some of the best music ever. a lot of his image and popularity comes from his political beliefs and him being crazy lol. not saying ppl don't know him for his music, but sometimes ppl don't recognize how good it is.
@@hyperbeam7498 dude read his other comment. he is saying in terms of music which i agree with. people only look at the negative shit kanye has done and not focusing enough on his actual music.
people need to realize the point of the sample, he is comparing the threat of a mistress having a child as a way to get money to the lynchings in the Jim Crow era... even though I don't really agree with the logic, that's the reason.
@@michaelgilbert2911 Donda has zero misses fr. But it still can't reach his past peaks rapping and beats wise. Singing wise, he on his 808s and Heartbreaks level melodies rn tho

@@choppaszn9582 nah heard a friend playing this song and I asked him what it was called and I realized that it was a Kanye song so I gave it another listen when I was by my self cause I didn’t hear half the shit that was being said in the song when I was with my friend cause we were both fried and it took me listening by myself to get the true meaning of the song which gave me goosebumps which then I replied on this vid saying “shit give me goosebumps” referring to the real meaning behind the song and not necessarily the song it self . So yeah you don’t know me so stfu bozo
and LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEE… AND LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEIEIIIEIIEIEEIEIIEEEVEEEEE!!!!!!!! That shit right there hits different even in 2021.
It's just why use something our ppl suffered from and flip it about divorce and your bad run in Paris with top designers not wanting your stuff like you could have put something in there about the history but the beat is hot just gets ruined a Little when she says my body blowin in the wind I couldn't help but picture hangings and body's blowing in the wind
@@kyrlics6515 he also discusses multiple societal issues, mainly superficiality and how people how becomes "slaves" to the modern day society (which calls back to the song new slaves), the song also explores how kanye is also tangled up within the system (despite him trying hard not to in "new slaves)
The sample was played in the first story of Tales from the hood. I watched it recently and noticed the words in the background. I was like I know this from some where.
So yall doing what ye wanted yall to do way back when he dropped this....look up the sample to find the real song to bring awareness to what happened to my people way back when. Basically saying we wont forget we will never forget...we cant forget. Ye is the goat
He put a lot of meaning into this. If you cant see it then you are blind as fuck. His divorce destroyed him. Yall need to stop being so simple minded and actually try to read into it.
marielenaperez9 your stupid to think its about his diviorce yet again people who are older than me who dont have has much knowledge as me the scars the history left they do not see
Hardest beat Kanye ever made. The beat drop is absolutely godly
Beat/production was heavily inspired by
“Down 4 My Niggas” by CMurda & Snoop & Magic
@@paulvasquez7897 nice to see him referencing the song in his lyrics
So cbat guy can make good music
This beat for him was made by one of European beatmakers
So true
Kanye is a genius. Hate him all you want. There will never be another artist like him.
Always something and someone better to and has yet to come… but I can’t wait 😂

There is better artists than kayne. In my opinion Dave santan. I will never understand why he is hyped.
@@darththomas7791 yea there is... If not wouldn't be no comparisons smh... I don't think u know art sir
dat beat drop tho
fr
Can’t believe I’m just hearing this song. I can hear the sadness in the song even through this sick beat.
I’m reading a book called Strange Fruit Since 1973 by Marlene Downing and it made me think of this song. Wow history is amazing
i love this shit. i am not an auto tune fan but they used it RIGHT. Mike Dean is a beast also for the mix on yeezus.
yea
That hook hits different now
Ok
Why
Facts! Real ppl know wat u talkn bout they see thru the lines, study the person, hear the lyrics, and know the background
Facts
The intro hits more different now 😭
No matter what you think of Kanye, it can't be denied that this is one of the greatest songs ever.
Most underrated Kanye song ever.
Real deep meaning behind this song. Hanging slaves from trees.
Atefeh Younesi okay
***** White privilege
+amber blood i see the blood on the leaves.. wait this song already said it lol
Strang Fruit

it feels so weird listening after learning about the real meaning of the sample
same, especially the strange fruit line
Same, especially learning the HISTORY of the song.
whats the real meaning?
@@vividist strange fruit (black people) hanging from the poplar tree (lynchings)
She literally says “black bodies swinging in the summer breeze” in this song. It ain’t that deep. Or weird.
Kanye is actually sampling off an old song called strange fruit where it talks about lynching in the south. some of the words are in this song.
ok

I will forever bump Kanye West! He can do no wrong ♥️
Whatever he likes
This aged well
One of the best songs of the decade
It's anger. Anger over lynching. Anger over a failed relationship.
Pure unadulterated anger.
Kanye West is the greatest artist of all time. Layering Nina Simone and C Murder wow
first time hearing the song... interesting message, aggressive drop.
me rn
@@HD-yd5ye me rn
One of my favorite beat drops ever.
No one samples like Kanye

"Yo kids gonna sing strange fruit"- Billie holiday......kanye the goat for this one
suce a great song , its really good to be alive and listen to that kind of songs that Kanye make , now its the real Kanye West we are listening to
Good 👍
THIS GOES SO HARD WHAT THE FUCK
PREEEEEEAAAAACH
2019 anyone and yes I still listen to this amazing song 😉

Don't let this song distract you from the fact one of the producers on this song made cbat
1:11 Dayum
Dayum 5 yrs😂
most people probably just think its a good song and dont even know what "black bodies, hanging from the poplar trees" is from or what it means...
this is played at my highschool parties lmao... better than most of the ignorant shit that gets played though.
I'm not sure how someone won't know what it means. The statement isn't cryptic or implicit or a metaphor.
The term "strange fruit," however, is all of those things.
Well i did
Exactly
I listen to it at football
IDK what anyone says I feel like that was fire🔥🔥🔥
Love this song :-) this hook is amazing.
I needed to hear this.
3:14 i love this entire verse
He snapped on that. But imagine if he'd have put this out after Kim. He would have burned the studio down.
the verse at 2:28 is fucking insane to me
People I think the point of the sample is too get you too do your history... after this song I finally learned about the original and then seen the video. Kayne is no dummy...
That outro 🔥🔥
Idk if I'm hyped or sad
on the surface level its a hype song but the lyrics are one of the deepest shit ever.
its 2020 and im still listening
Happy birthday Kanye WEST, peace, harmony.... Soliman's wisdom sending those vibes to you and yours.
He ate this beat‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥
greatest ever

The drop goes hard. I like it
Say what you want about Kanye but his music is legendary! I
So all this time kanye actually was talking about aborting his daughter it was for real
Because of the illuminati wanted him to do a blood sacrifice
@@jmeaistt bullshit
@@davyroger3773 nah he ain’t lying
@Nugget blood sacrifices are real
@@FIFO333 yea but thats like, tribal stuff man, and cults, and religious nuts. I doubt kanye would sacrifice a baby
So different listening as an adult now💯
Kanye goes funking in on his rap verse
2020 anyone???
His voice w this beat is nice
On repeat
Im in love with this song
Anyone here after yvngxchris?
chris murdered
Never stopped listening to this one
Awesome beat
2020 Vibes! "Then they talk about me, would be lost without me"
When the horns drop in thooo
Kanye West is the goat there is never going to be anyone better than him othere than me and my mum
I heard this on Dave and forgot how great this song was.
thats why im here
For real that's exactly what reminded me of this song. 💯
people need to realize the point of the sample, he is comparing the threat of a mistress having a child as a way to get money to the lynchings in the Jim Crow era... even though I don't really agree with the logic, that's the reason.
I think that might be the opposite of the point, actually. I think the point might be that they're not the same thing at all.
4:33 the song starts for me then ...
PlaqQtx c
That beat drop has me levitating to this day
Love this song.reminds me of Nina Simeone - Sinnerman
Blablabla blood on the leaves it’s called , sinnerman is a beautiful song as well
Nothing hits quite like those brass notes the first time listening to this
2:04 always thought it sounded like he hurt himself in the booth lol
yea

Beat is insane!! He needs to get back to making classic shit!

Sometimes autotune could work in a song, this is not one of those times. And the way strange fruit was used in this is just off.
No, this is EXACTLY one of those times. This was brilliant.
