I know that this comment was 4 months ago, but I also think so many of The College Dropout's songs are underrated too. Majority of Kanye's songs are underrated because everyone pays attention to his mainstream songs...
+John 4 Reason Totally agree. And question, why do you have this picture of Tokyo as your cover photo, i have seen so many people on youtube with the same image, just WHY?
That Kanye documentary makes you realize how much Kanye low key had the rap game on lock back in the early 2000’s. Till this day there’s still songs that I knew for yearsss that I discovered Kanye produced. The man really is the greatest of all time in hip hop and a musical genius
I basically know now we've been racially profiled cuffed up and hosed down pimped up and hoed down plus I got a whole city to hold down from the bottom so the top is the only place to go now/
+Nathan Casey I can't remember what performance it was, but I remember seeing Kanye perform with her live on TV once, she's done some AMAZING things with rappers. GREATNESS!
@@mymustynut5813 I see where you coming from MyMusty but wouldn't you agree Grammy's mean nathan cuz they will just as quickly give one to a baboon and a buffoon as much as they will a solid or great work? I get what you're saying it's got industry acknowledgement but I do think this piece is not often spoken of and it's an outstanding composition, lyrical content and talent roster.
Music is art. It is actually the quickest emotion inducing art. Poetry is the highest art but it takes much of your focus into truly understanding and appreciating it. Now when music, good music, and rap, a modern derivation of poetry, combine, it's not just art- it's great art.
I met all my best friends over Kanye music on the bus. I’ll always be on his side. He might be different now but I understand the way life takes it’s toll on us all and shifts our thinkings but I remember who he was before his moms death
One of the most overlooked songs in the entire Kanye career. I know there are a lot of crazy bangers but i feel like this song doesnt get all the recognition it deserve
After watching the doc, I finally understand why Ye is the way he is. The relationship with his mother was beautiful, it was his everything. It hurts my soul to think she passed so early.
To me this is when Yeezy made his breakthrough, this song is brilliant. i remember hearing it on Dave Chappelle and i said this dude is going to be huge.
3:27 to the end bends the fabric of time and space. Holy shit. What an unbelievable minute of sound. Make sure you listen to the album track version with a good pair of headphones and turn your volume all the way up.
Chappelle was breakin serious records on his show. I remeber being 11-12 listening to Common's records, Kanye & Mos, Jill Scott, All kinds of great music. That show was cultural & comedically so far ahead of its time.
TheRealBeatMaster. Im still a little fucked up about that, but even in the bible jesus axes about being equals like the tree of knowledge and sheit. Pass me a piece of that plant that makes you breath fire right quick. Lol
"I am a God Even though I'm a man of God My whole life in the hand of God So y'all better quit playin' with God" It sounds like it's possible there could be more to the concept of the song than what the literal meaning of the title and particular excerpts seem.
Ivan Williams You’re right, there is more to that song. I Am a God is wrapped in multiple layers of irony. Kanye calls himself a god, but he keeps telling other people to do things and they don’t even listen. Would a GOD have to wait for croissants? Of course they wouldn’t. That’s why Kanye collapses into screaming his lungs off by the end of the track. He realizes that he’s trapped by the nature of his elevated status as a ‘God’. Which is why on the next song, New Slaves, he tries to relate to the everyday black man, before failing and going on to the depressed state of that album for the next few tracks. Yeezus is so damn underrated, that album has such a well-executed Narrative.
@@alexjarmes7226 nah man he lost his damn mind being a trump supporter and standing up for a violent criminal because i quote in another dimension or universe kanye is him. spouting bs like how slavery was a choice and shit. he needs an actual psychologist and get his head fixed.
For all of you saying "this is the GOOD Kanye" I feel I need to educate you. Kanye has been the same dude since day one. The man has been shaking hip hop at its core since his entry to the game. Kanye has been raunchy on every album, touched on religion on every album, (from Jesus Walks, which I'm sure you all were comfortable with despite his explicit content on the record to I Am A God) been singing on every album (from Spaceship and Hey Mama to Blood on the Leaves), sampled amazing music on every album (from Shaka Khan to Daft Punk) and always expressed his heart in his art and words (from George Bush to Taylor to shit you're reading on HipHopDX right now) If you're not feeling Ye's shit that's cool a lot of people don't but the sellout comments are just silly and prove that you're either not a true fan of Yeezy or too blinded by your own preferences to understand what a sellout even is. A sellout is not someone who stops making the music you like, a sellout is someone who makes the music you like because you like it and knows his music and shows will "sell out" to the masses. Kanye says fuck radio and now he's a sellout. Rap fans, I tell ya.
His behavior is a different conversation from his music. I won't defend his behavior I certainly think it could stand some improvement, my statement was simply in reply to those calling him "sellout."
Yessss !! That Hunger he got when rapping two words on Netflix documentary was out of this World! Hungry for recognition, recognition he finally got!! 🙌💥💥💥
bro its been 14 fucking years since this dropped. I don't care the shit he's doing now, but I'm personally glad I can say I literally grew up on the work of this musical genius. He may of fell off the past couple of years, but his first 5 albums solidify his legendary status
I'm after the documentary and this man's journey was worth sharing because he worked hard & stayed true despite being turned down many times. He deserves all the success!.You're a treasure.
what are you all talking about? he hasn't lost it. every album he changes his style and that's what makes him so great. if he continued making College Dropout style albums to this day it would just get boring. you gotta keep changing it up.
I suggest you check out Spaceship and Never Let me Down as well, Kanye used to be one of the most socially conscious emcees in the game, he has some true classic songs amongst his first 4 albums.
First 4 albums? Dont act like MBDTF (power, devil in a new dress, gorgeous, all of the lights… uh the entire album) isn’t a classic. Same goes for every other Kanye album for that matter
I hate when people say Kanye is just a producer rapper. His lyrics in this are legendary and mos def too. The Grammy nominated line is crazy and all the phrases are two words that describe him. Genius
This is the Kanye that I fell in love with. This song is so lit and profound!! You've got Mos Def, Philadelphia Freeway, and some funky violins at the end. What!!! 🔥🔥🔥
This is a genuinely perfect rap song imo. The beat is impressive as hell, every verse holds it's own. Personally I listen to it and feel like Mos Def out-raps the others but they all are on their A-game and goddamn you can't deny Kanye's talent on that beat. People can hate him or not, the song is a goddamn work of art.

the production is still ahead of its time
Kanye was a true visionary, and we weren't really ready. I know that now. This is Ridley Scott level brilliance on the track and concept
say what you want but really the most hated artist now is Six Mellod mad talented tho
One of Kanye's Top 10 Tracks of all times.
