Nobody can tell me Kanye’s a bad influence! He dropped out of college, went against the odds and not only made it, but surpassed all competition by a landslide. Imma do the same😏🤣
When you said that you were leaving, I thought shit was pretend But it’s cool cuz in my DM’s I got all of yo friends My brother gospel, you can’t say nothin to west no more
This is the perfect beat to tell a story over
He does at the end
@@psithetaphiyeah no shit that’s why he said that
One of the greatest beats ever made damn
the college dropout is now a billionaire 😭😭😭😭 my goat

Sterling yeah he is now!
Geron Fletcher not lucrative

I'd like to propose a toast
I said toast, motherfucker
And I am
(Here's to the Roc)
And they ask me, they ask me, they ask me, I tell them
(Here's to Roc-A-Fella)
Raise your glasses, your glasses, your glasses to the sky and

This is the last call for alcohol, for the

So get your ass up off the wall
The all around the world Digital Underground Pac
The Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer of the Roc
I take my chain, my 15 seconds of fame
And come back next year with the whole fucking game
Ain't nobody expect Kanye to end up on top
They expected that College Dropout to drop and then flop
Then maybe he stop savin' all the good beats for himself
Roc-A-Fella's only niggas that helped
My money was thinner than Sean Paul's goatee hair
Now Jean Paul Gaultier cologne fill the air, here
They say he bougie, he big-headed
Would you please stop talking about how my dick head is
Flow infectious, give me 10 seconds
I'll have a buzz bigger than insects in Texas
It's funny how wasn't nobody interested
'Til the night I almost killed myself in Lexus
Now I am

That'll take Freeway, throw him on tracks with Mos Def
When you call him Kwa-li or Kwe-li, I put him on songs with Jay-Z

Nice as Bun-B when I met him at the Source awards
Girl he had with him, ass coulda won the horse awards

I'm almost Raymond
Some say he arrogant. Can y'all blame him?
It was straight embarrassing how y'all played him
Last year shoppin' my demo, I was tryna shine
Every motherfucker told me that I couldn't rhyme
Now I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem
Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams
I use it as my gas, so they say that I'm gassed
But without it I'd be last, so I ought to laugh
So I don't listen to the suits behind the desk no more
You niggas wear suits 'cause you can't dress no more
You can't say shit to Kanye West no more
I rocked 20, 000 people, I was just on tour, nigga
I'm Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don
Bought my mom a purse, now she Louis Vuitton Mom
I ain't play the hand I was dealt, I changed my cards
I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
"Oh my God, is that a black card?"
I turned around and replied, "Why yes
But I prefer the term African American Express"
Brains, power, and muscle, like Dame, Puffy, and Russell
Your boy back on his hustle, you know what I've been up to
Killin' y'all niggas on that lyrical shit
Mayonnaise-colored Benz, I push Miracle Whips

Is there a to download any of these? I have been looking for all of these instrumentals forever!
0:35
No saxophone tho🗿
Where is the humm??
Those were background vocals that Kanye had sang over the sample I believe. They wouldn’t be included in the instrumental version.
My favorite part is always missing from the instrumentals. Is it Kanye humming though? Doesn't sound like his voice...
@@CaptureCat88it’s John legend
whats the instrument of the loop?????????????????????/
..produced by Evidence
Probably my favorite beat off of CD. Shit is so nostalgic for me
This is so true I have no clue why I feel nostalgic hearing this beat
@@Minecraftlover2014 Same
fr the beat is so nostalgic
