FUCK YES, I say this all the time. The fact no one believed in him as a rapper and then he released College Dropout, and then again when the entire world was outraged after the VMA incident. He really, really is the GOAT
aye homie i'mma be real.. don't ever..EVER bring up someone else mom. especially if they gone because that haunts someone longer than some mistake they did.
What an asshole move by Leno. You can see Kanye immediately get a mixture of anger and sadness on his face as soon as he hears Leno talk about his mom.
zacyehboi i can’t defend it but i can respect it. it was a dick mood, but it just shows he will speak his mind. 10 years later i remember beyoncé’s video and i don’t rememeber taylor’s
@@nootinshootin7720 i thought that shit was fire as a kid lol he was already like that so him doing that to thee taylor swift was jus the icing on the cake for me lol top 5 moments in my books
Kanye has had such a rollercoaster of a life, he’s had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, i’m very surprised he’s even here today. I wish him the very best right now, as he’s in one of the darkest places he’s ever been
Kanye may get controversy for the things he says, but everyone says something controversial once in a while, and his comeback from the VMA incident takes some serious confidence, which is why I respect him.
ebony b Kanye’s mom was dead at that point. It’s a tough subject. He could’ve said his father or someone else but he chose to point out again that Kanye fucked up and that his mother was dead.
@@EpicGamer47YT but it wouldn't have mattered as much to Kanye if you asked someone like his dad. His mom means so much to him that the thought of disappointing her actually made him rethink his decisions. I don't get why everyones made
Holyfuck. I second whoever said this belongs on Netflix. I wonder how many hours of work this required. This gave me chills. Definitely my fave Kanye record. Good job, mate!!!
Absolutely right. Of course I thought it was rude back then. But today I say fuck Taylor Swift's feelings, he was outraged and spoke only the truth. Beyonce's video really was one of the best of all time.
For over 35 years I’ve watched hip hop fans retire rappers through disinterest. Kanye will walk away on his own leaving a huge void not only in hip hop, but music in its entirety. The genius claims are real.
@@abrahamsanchez7455shit he’s basically been gone for over 2-3 years now and it’s sad man that era of Kanye Jay Z lil Wayne drake Kendrick Cole etc all being in their prime especially Drake Wayne Kanye Kendrick absolutely carrying 2010s that era is basically over and their prime tbh and you see the effect already of how bland and boring music is today tbh and I don’t even blame artists tbh theirs not many songs you can do tbh that’s not already been made and a lyric that hasn’t even been song tbh that’s why creativity is so low today. We really didn’t appreciate them while they we here like when Kanye dropped graduation or 808s and at first it wasn’t well received and then loved like when drake dropped Views and IFYRTITL and views wasn’t well received but then it took over and loved that whole year and now it aged even better like with most of drakes earlier music and Kanye’s. I miss real music and artists tbh
Kanye was so much in the zone that he made Rick Ross rewrite his verse on Devil in a new Dress, which to me is Rozay’s greatest verse ever. MBDTF is a masterpiece, a movie that deserves an Oscar. Kanye is simply amazing

When we all have kids or grandkids, Kanye will be one of their "I was born in the wrong generation" artists like Queen, Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd are today.
Jerry Courtney OFF ALL TIME PERIOD. the art of making a project that fits as a whole with a nice red line going through is being lost. Albums feel like playlists nowadays
The whole Kanye and finding his inner child has become such a legendary aspect of his career. Whenever he can tap into that element of his persona his music is incredible. That's why Kids see ghost was so good, whenever he's around Cudi that comes out of Kanye...and this is like my 10th comment I cant help it! Kanye is the GOAT
This is best as from an artistic perspective . My favorite is graduation and MBDTF if I had to pick one it's hard depends what mood I grew up with graduation so.
@@paulz4667 Personally, I could listen to MBDTF for days on end without getting tired of it, it just sounds perfect, like every note, every syllable has thought put behind, and I love it. Whereas I think some of graduation's songs haven't aged as well for me, but if you prefer 'stadium music' as Kanye put it, I could see why you'd enjoy Graduation more.
@@paulz4667 I think this kind of discussion is what makes Kanye West so great, almost all of his albums have distinctiveness and unique styles to them, allowing every person to have their own rankings. There is no right answer for ranking his albums, because they're all great in their own way i.e. even though I'm not as big of a fan of Late Registration, I still see its value as a work of art, and why people would love it. I don't think there is any other artist who you could say this for, but it's amazing what Kanye has done in the diversity, quantity, and quality of his music.
This album was the masterpiece to me when it came out. Graduation over the years stole the top spot. This man has so many classics and amazing risks taken.
Artistic genius. Multiple forms. Look up his drawings and paintings on RUclips. It’s crazy. He could dominate that, too. And, he’s a billionaire from clothing, sneakers, and apparel.
Just listened to the entire album after watching the film. Finishing up the MBDTF trilogy with this docu. Will be back to do this next year. Stay frosty family
Doing the exact thing as well. The short film was the most beautiful thing I saw at age 14 now I’m gonna watch it again at 24. It inspired me to create film
One of the best albums of the 00’s. One of the greatest redemption stories ever. Kanye sticking up the middle finger to his doubters while simultaneously feeling guilt about his actions. MBDTF was the most interesting and greatest period of time for Kanye in my opinion.
This video gave me goosebumps at multiple different times and reminded me just how amazing, influential, and important this album and Kanye’s music in general is
I just listen to this in the car parked in from of my house like two weeks ago. I don’t care what type of person he is or what he’s going through . HE IS GREATNESS ! And most of the people who have mental illness can sometimes be the most creative people. ❤
Doesn't work that way on RUclips anymore. It doesn't matter how short your clip is, all the ad money is going to UMG, and he knew this going into it, that's why he got a sponsor
IT IS ONE OF BUT 808’s IS WAY MORE IMPACTFUL TO ME WHICH IS WHY ITS HIS BEST ALBUM I THINK COLLEGE DROPOUT IS HIS BEST ALBUM BUT 808’s IS THE MOST IMPACTFUL ALBUM MBDTF JUST HIT SO HARD AT THE RIGHT TIME WHEN HIS BACK WAS REALLY REALLY AGAINST THE WALL..
all great albums and could be placed in the top 5 in any fans list. Its subjective ultimately but I find this album to be the most cohesive sonic for music and rap. This is the style that speaks to me most. But 36 chambers was my first introduction to hip hop so I would never say that couldn't be one of the best.
The more I watch this video the more genius i realize it is. The way it starts with showing the vma incident from everyone else's perspective and then ending with kanye's take on it creates an arch in the story you are telling.
My personal favorite Kanye album and idk if he'll ever top this album.. Maybe Yandhi will prove me wrong, but GOD that album is phenomenal. THIS is the type of album rappers today should try to achieve on being or at least have one album as artsy as this.
@@darrellholmes9609 Same here. Ever since I listened to Kanye back when Yeezus first came out, I felt that I needed to listen to his older music because Yeezus sounded garbage to me (I love the album nowadays after being in the Yeezus era from the interviews be to the tour). I started with Graduation thinking it was Ye's best and instantly wondered "Why TF doesn't he make music like this anymore? Wtf happened?" Then I bumped to Dark Fantasy and it struck me & stood out to me on being one of the most artistic albums I've ever heard from production, concepts, the instrumentations on songs, features, it was an experience listening to it the first time. I wish i was apart of that era.
while this is not my favorite album. this is a fuckn MASTERPIECE. there isnt really like major hits on this album like all falls down but any song from this album you get that mood. like you know this took TIME. any song from this album gives you the vibes. This is an album you take the time and play start to finish and just have deep ass thoughts. I got this on vinyl and every now and then i put it on and think "yup this is kanye's greatest work".
What an album. After 808's I thought he was falling off but this blew me away, almost every track was a hit. I've seen glimpses of greatness in few songs after this but nothing cones close. I've given up, but maybe he still can make another one like it
this whole album and 36-minute documentary might as well come together, because of this video and a lot of other dope videos i’ve seen you make, i’m subscribing. keep up the dope videos and i’ll keep on watching.
In my opinion Blame Game is his best song Vulnerable, honest, dark, masterpiece production, perfect piano play, John Legend on the Hook, the fucked up lyrics. Kanye is my favorite artist. Blame Game became my favorite song thru hook or crook. Wasn’t even looking for it to be my favorite song but somehow it did. Perhaps because I’ve had my heart broken. Perhaps because I can’t find a single flaw on the song. I’d like to think I’m a closet artist that can give credit where it is due. Kanye is a musical Genius! Long Live MBDTF
Blame Game is also up there for me as one of his best songs, revealing such a sensitive yet such a dark mental state that men go through during a break up. Men aren't the Ultimate victims but we over think when it comes to any person we find interest in. That can some times be our biggest downfall as men to the point where we mess things up ourselves. John Legend on the hook being the polar opposite to Kanye's aggressive verses to me makes the song even better because it's like the hook are his thoughts and he's not doing that clearly. Which leads to him just being "angry" during the verses.
If you haven't already, definitely listen to the podcast Dissect. There's a whole season dedicated to breaking down MBDTF track by track, both lyrically and musically. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the album and Kanye as an artist.
1. All Of The Lights (including prelude) 2. Runaway 3. Monster 4. Dark Fantasy 5. Power Damn I feel so basic with this list but there are just so many top tier tracks on this album, as we all know. Thing is I've played POWER to death and I'm not as hyped about that and Dark Fantasy as I used to be, though the other three have never lost their juice after 100 plays minimum. So regarding how I feel about it now, I'd sub out POWER with Gorgeous, and Dark Fantasy with...... nah I'll keep Dark Fantasy.
pourboy It wasn’t for a reaction, look at Kanye’s face, it looks like he genuinely considered his mistake at that point and finally realised what his Mother would have actually thought. Of course it made him upset, but I think he’d be very appreciative to have to heard it, after healing.
@@maxconnolly4279 I feel like he was just being careful with his words. Think about it, the media would've loved to see him flip out at an interviewer over his dead mother. It would've made headlines, but thanks to the calm state he was in he didn't give that weirdo what he wanted. That's the way I see it
I love this time in the Kanye Era. GOOD Music releasing songs every other day prior to the release of the album. MBDTF was born and my all time fav project was also created: Good Fridays. Featuring Prime Nicki, Ross, Cudi, Kanye, Rihanna and Pusha.
Man to be brutally honest some of his song I didn't like when I first heard them but over time I've come to love them and appreciate his incredible genius. This man has been one of my favorite artist since day one.
Why doesn't this have millions of views is beyond me, this what informative, detailed, unbiased and just basically great. Amazing work! This was incredible to watch!
This album was really beautiful. Runaway was really the overall recap and final of his life. Everyone called him a douchebag , an asshole. The amount of controversy, how much trash he got for 808s, the Taylor swift controversy, Amber Rose, the bush doesn’t care about black people, everything was the album to show that he was a genius. And Kanye really showed that he was the greatest of all time. And Runaway made him realize that he was asshole. And he admits it. He isn’t try to be something he isn’t.
@@thekingofsomewhere runaway is not the recap and final of this dudes life he’s made several albums since and songs just as good as runaway that are just as or even more introspective, this is just the classic 14 year old hearing runaway for the first time and then thinking they’ve uncovered something life changing, the song is abou exactly what mans is saying like it’s common knowledge, runaway didn’t make him realize he was an asshole he already knew that the song is just about acknowledging that he isn’t perfect and understanding what he’s going that’s driving people out of his life and himself crazy, that’s literally what the song is about it’s not like this dude has some profound thought
@@very025 That's because she doesn't really do much except... be famous, lol. I think she was a model who got famous for dating rappers (I know she used to date Kanye and 21 Savage)
Trevious James it’s his opinion bro you could just focus on his music and that’s it don’t let someone’s political beliefs get in the way of things if he supports someone oh well, idgaf I’m here for his art and music
This was a paradigm Shift of an album for Ye. People doubted him after 808s (Though I loved it), hated him after the debacle with Swift but the fact he was able to basically hit the reset button and explode once again. I might not think MBDTF is a modern classic because I have other favorites from Ye, but this was a great album that solidified him as a trailblazer.
I also doubted him after 808s. I enjoyed 808s, but feared that if he kept on that path, his music was gonna go downhill, fast. Except...he came out with a hip hop classic!!!
Listen to a podcast by the name of Dissect. The guy that does it studied music in school. Breaks down rap records lyrically and musically, down to the note.
Beautiful dark twisted fantasy was one of the most unique pieces of music I’ve ever heard. It definitely changed my life, and definitely inspired me in more ways than I can explain or than I can even know
People clown on Kanye but when he passes away in the future he will be revered as one of the greatest voices of this era and MBDTF is proof of such.
This new generation wouldn’t exist without 808’s and Graduation tbh

Ok ima let ya finish but MBDTF is the best album OF ALL TIME! OFF ALL TIME!
Jerry Courtney OFF ALL TIME PERIOD. the art of making a project that fits as a whole with a nice red line going through is being lost. Albums feel like playlists nowadays
TPaB is better.
The collage dropout better but mbdtf is more impactful
Gorgeous is definitely one of the best songs from Kanye. Cudi sang like an absolute angel and Kanye's mind in that song was marvelous.
Man been sayin that for yearss dawgg
@@Sijan.G I am listening to it everyday for 20 times approx for like a month now. It's my ringtone. Such an epic piece
Why does everyone always leave Raekwon when talking about Gorgeous?
@@WarningBFG-isHiring Prolly cause Ye's second verse was too astronomical for people to handle

Damn everything aside, that Kanye Lady GaGa tour would’ve been LEGENDARY.
righhhhhttttt
Dude them collabing on an album would cause earthquakes
yo can anybody PLEASE tell me what songs are playin in the background at the beggining????? 1:51 and 3:49, OMG THEY'RE SO SMOOTH
I like some of the Gaga songs but WTF DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT CAMERAS ⁉️
2 artistic visionaries sharing the stage, that would've been dope
This deserves AT LEAST a couple million views
Word the quality of this video is ridiculous
Much love
I'm a simple man. I see a 36 minute Kanye video. I click.
HAHAHAHA, you are bound to get good value for your 36 minutes.
Joaquin Definitely not 36 minutes you want back..!
You don't realize what beautiful poetry "Power" is until you hear Kanye recite it aloud outside of the finished track. 7:46
Its a completely different listen
Facts
The whole Kanye and finding his inner child has become such a legendary aspect of his career. Whenever he can tap into that element of his persona his music is incredible. That's why Kids see ghost was so good, whenever he's around Cudi that comes out of Kanye...and this is like my 10th comment I cant help it! Kanye is the GOAT
I think there's a lesson to be learned from that for all of us, life is always more interesting from the aspect of your inner child.
@@JimmyDanger44100% my friend....I'm 31 but I love the younger ppl I work with, they stay positive rather than sulk on their trials and tribulations
Yes! This video finally came out. MBDTF is best (and my favorite) album of this century!!! Kanye is a genius
This is best as from an artistic perspective . My favorite is graduation and MBDTF if I had to pick one it's hard depends what mood I grew up with graduation so.
It's a 6
@@paulz4667 Personally, I could listen to MBDTF for days on end without getting tired of it, it just sounds perfect, like every note, every syllable has thought put behind, and I love it. Whereas I think some of graduation's songs haven't aged as well for me, but if you prefer 'stadium music' as Kanye put it, I could see why you'd enjoy Graduation more.
@@karlliebknecht2987 i wasnt a fan of 808s, i didnt mind late registration too
@@paulz4667 I think this kind of discussion is what makes Kanye West so great, almost all of his albums have distinctiveness and unique styles to them, allowing every person to have their own rankings. There is no right answer for ranking his albums, because they're all great in their own way i.e. even though I'm not as big of a fan of Late Registration, I still see its value as a work of art, and why people would love it. I don't think there is any other artist who you could say this for, but it's amazing what Kanye has done in the diversity, quantity, and quality of his music.
Who is going to go listen to the whole album after this cause I am
Definitely
Hope you loved it as much as I did 🔥❤️🙌🏼

Kanye West is a living Legend, a Musical Genius who, i feel, doesn't get his much due respect in Music, especially Rap/Hip-Hop.
Artistic genius. Multiple forms. Look up his drawings and paintings on RUclips. It’s crazy. He could dominate that, too. And, he’s a billionaire from clothing, sneakers, and apparel.
@@losbaby1044 I agree with this but Drake is fire. Not even near of Kanye, Kendrick and J. Cole tbh

Just listened to the entire album after watching the film. Finishing up the MBDTF trilogy with this docu. Will be back to do this next year. Stay frosty family
Doing the exact thing as well. The short film was the most beautiful thing I saw at age 14 now I’m gonna watch it again at 24. It inspired me to create film

One of the best albums of the 00’s. One of the greatest redemption stories ever. Kanye sticking up the middle finger to his doubters while simultaneously feeling guilt about his actions. MBDTF was the most interesting and greatest period of time for Kanye in my opinion.
It came out in 2010, so it’d be the put in the 2010 decade, not the 2000’s

Thanks for giving your time to do this...you deserve more subscribers man
This album is the true definition of a masterpiece. The track listing, cover art, the feeling of it sonically, just a flawless victory all around.
This video gave me goosebumps at multiple different times and reminded me just how amazing, influential, and important this album and Kanye’s music in general is
same!
I get those goosebumps every time
I know its crazy, but Kanye should watch this doc, to remember the era
He's living it tho. Literally.
^ exactly. This is a stupid comment. Ye ibviouslybremembers his own life 8 or 9 years ago.
I get what you saying. His mindset as a human at the time
I'm willing to bet Ye has contributed to 80% of the views so far
Lmao funny thing is back then people would say they miss the old Ye of Late Registration and the new Ye sucks.
People gonna be saying that forever
Why am I just finding this channel?? The production quality alone deserves a sub...done
Rod Smith much love 🙏🏾
The production quality is so fuckin dope & inspiring
I just listen to this in the car parked in from of my house like two weeks ago. I don’t care what type of person he is or what he’s going through . HE IS GREATNESS ! And most of the people who have mental illness can sometimes be the most creative people. ❤
I wish he could release all the Good Fridays on streaming services. Christian Dior Flow was my favorite song back in high school.
Good Friday’s mixtape was on Google Play Music but they took it off for some odd reason
They’re on RUclips and soundcloud
'i got the world in my hands, the master plan, but i don't know why i keep callin', why i keep-'
Kristian Cloud “all of these girls in my shows they lovin me, but i don’t know why I keep callin, why I keep calling you”
i feel so sorry for people who never listened to Christian Dior Denim Flow
Y'all realise how each of his song extracts are exactly 3 seconds long to prevent demonetization?
Genius shi
Doesn't work that way on RUclips anymore. It doesn't matter how short your clip is, all the ad money is going to UMG, and he knew this going into it, that's why he got a sponsor
I wish it was demonetization this fucker has over 8 mid roll ads on my video. AND A SPONSORSHIP
jecub Owo spoiled bitch
@@jecubowo4709 when you video gets claimed the claimer adds the ads he didn't do it
This is arguably the best hip hop album of all time.
I vouch
IT IS ONE OF BUT 808’s IS WAY MORE IMPACTFUL TO ME WHICH IS WHY ITS HIS BEST ALBUM I THINK COLLEGE DROPOUT IS HIS BEST ALBUM BUT 808’s IS THE MOST IMPACTFUL ALBUM MBDTF JUST HIT SO HARD AT THE RIGHT TIME WHEN HIS BACK WAS REALLY REALLY AGAINST THE WALL..
Lmao
What about NWA's album or Wu Tang? What about the Marshall Mathers Lp 1?
all great albums and could be placed in the top 5 in any fans list. Its subjective ultimately but I find this album to be the most cohesive sonic for music and rap. This is the style that speaks to me most. But 36 chambers was my first introduction to hip hop so I would never say that couldn't be one of the best.
The more I watch this video the more genius i realize it is. The way it starts with showing the vma incident from everyone else's perspective and then ending with kanye's take on it creates an arch in the story you are telling.
This video is absolutely amazing and I’m not even finished yet.
This is absolutely incredible. I’d pay money to watch this. Great fucking job. Thank you for documenting such an important piece of music history.
Nicholas Palacio so true. This deserves so much appreciation for what it is and the work that went into it.
My personal favorite Kanye album and idk if he'll ever top this album.. Maybe Yandhi will prove me wrong, but GOD that album is phenomenal. THIS is the type of album rappers today should try to achieve on being or at least have one album as artsy as this.
LucarioDXAuraStorm I would do anything for yandhi to even be half the album mbdtf is
Tbh i thought graduation was hus best project until he dropped mbdtf. I feel like 808s was supposed to be was mbdtf was. I always felt that.
@@darrellholmes9609 Same here. Ever since I listened to Kanye back when Yeezus first came out, I felt that I needed to listen to his older music because Yeezus sounded garbage to me (I love the album nowadays after being in the Yeezus era from the interviews be to the tour). I started with Graduation thinking it was Ye's best and instantly wondered "Why TF doesn't he make music like this anymore? Wtf happened?" Then I bumped to Dark Fantasy and it struck me & stood out to me on being one of the most artistic albums I've ever heard from production, concepts, the instrumentations on songs, features, it was an experience listening to it the first time. I wish i was apart of that era.
while this is not my favorite album. this is a fuckn MASTERPIECE. there isnt really like major hits on this album like all falls down but any song from this album you get that mood. like you know this took TIME. any song from this album gives you the vibes.
This is an album you take the time and play start to finish and just have deep ass thoughts. I got this on vinyl and every now and then i put it on and think "yup this is kanye's greatest work".
I love Ye's albums but I think Yeezus and 808's are my personal favorite.
What an album. After 808's I thought he was falling off but this blew me away, almost every track was a hit. I've seen glimpses of greatness in few songs after this but nothing cones close. I've given up, but maybe he still can make another one like it
Nobody talks about how Kanye West was 100% right when he made the claim at the VMAs and for that I respect Justin Vernon even more.
This will be one of those albums that becomes a timeless and ageless classic
It already is
this whole album and 36-minute documentary might as well come together, because of this video and a lot of other dope videos i’ve seen you make, i’m subscribing. keep up the dope videos and i’ll keep on watching.
joshua woods thank you 🙏🏾
In my opinion Blame Game is his best song
Vulnerable, honest, dark, masterpiece production, perfect piano play, John Legend on the Hook, the fucked up lyrics.
Kanye is my favorite artist. Blame Game became my favorite song thru hook or crook. Wasn’t even looking for it to be my favorite song but somehow it did. Perhaps because I’ve had my heart broken. Perhaps because I can’t find a single flaw on the song. I’d like to think I’m a closet artist that can give credit where it is due.
Kanye is a musical Genius! Long Live MBDTF
Blame Game is also up there for me as one of his best songs, revealing such a sensitive yet such a dark mental state that men go through during a break up. Men aren't the Ultimate victims but we over think when it comes to any person we find interest in. That can some times be our biggest downfall as men to the point where we mess things up ourselves.
John Legend on the hook being the polar opposite to Kanye's aggressive verses to me makes the song even better because it's like the hook are his thoughts and he's not doing that clearly. Which leads to him just being "angry" during the verses.
Blame game is so good, except for the cringy last part😅
jesus dude. this is one of the best episodes of anything ever. the very most unruly
Thanks a ton! That means a lot! Much love
This album is a Masterpiece. I’m glad I got to listen to it with my small window of time in this life.
Always wanted to learn more about this album! It's one of my all time favorites. Thank you!!

"Devil in a new dress" favourite song off of the album
If you haven't already, definitely listen to the podcast Dissect. There's a whole season dedicated to breaking down MBDTF track by track, both lyrically and musically. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the album and Kanye as an artist.

My top 5 from the album
6LACK LORD man I can’t believe that lost in the world and the blame game isn’t in that list
6LACK LORD
My top 5:
5.Monster
4.So Appalled
3.gorgeous
2.Power
1.Runaway
But they are all amazing tbh
My guy, where is Gorgeous? That's the best song on MBDTF.
6/10
1. All Of The Lights (including prelude)
2. Runaway
3. Monster
4. Dark Fantasy
5. Power
Damn I feel so basic with this list but there are just so many top tier tracks on this album, as we all know. Thing is I've played POWER to death and I'm not as hyped about that and Dark Fantasy as I used to be, though the other three have never lost their juice after 100 plays minimum. So regarding how I feel about it now, I'd sub out POWER with Gorgeous, and Dark Fantasy with...... nah I'll keep Dark Fantasy.
That guy really just mentioned his dead mother for a reaction, what a bum
pourboy It wasn’t for a reaction, look at Kanye’s face, it looks like he genuinely considered his mistake at that point and finally realised what his Mother would have actually thought. Of course it made him upset, but I think he’d be very appreciative to have to heard it, after healing.
@@maxconnolly4279 I feel like he was just being careful with his words. Think about it, the media would've loved to see him flip out at an interviewer over his dead mother. It would've made headlines, but thanks to the calm state he was in he didn't give that weirdo what he wanted. That's the way I see it
the way he brings it up like Kanye is a little kid
Max B. I mean, he’s kind of a kid as an artist, and he’s pretty much a kid with the loss of his mother, plus his reaction was immensely childish.
I understand what you're saying but Kanye's mother raised him better than that
16:04 the way Rick Ross verse came in after the sample gave me goosebumps
Honestly, I just love Kanye West. He has made the greatest music that my ears have ever heard. He is a genius and a musical treasure.
whoever made this doc i hope you got PAID bc it's money
I love this time in the Kanye Era. GOOD Music releasing songs every other day prior to the release of the album. MBDTF was born and my all time fav project was also created: Good Fridays. Featuring Prime Nicki, Ross, Cudi, Kanye, Rihanna and Pusha.
10 years later and it’s still one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to
Best Nicky lyrics on monster and best rick Ross lyrics on devil in a new dress. History was made.
Man to be brutally honest some of his song I didn't like when I first heard them but over time I've come to love them and appreciate his incredible genius. This man has been one of my favorite artist since day one.
thats the best kind of music
I been binge watching your Kanye vids the last couple days and now I want to cry
i feel you lmaoo
Why cry?
best record of all time
One of, if not the best album I’ve ever heard. Timeless
My favourite 3 albums are all Kanye
When RZA is explaining the process , THE BEAT playing in combo with the story makes it so CHILLING imagining what he’s saying
For real! I'm trying to find that beat! Is it a song?

@@stellar1252 Tf are you talking about?
@@intheshadows492the last song in the album
This album was really beautiful. Runaway was really the overall recap and final of his life. Everyone called him a douchebag , an asshole. The amount of controversy, how much trash he got for 808s, the Taylor swift controversy, Amber Rose, the bush doesn’t care about black people, everything was the album to show that he was a genius. And Kanye really showed that he was the greatest of all time. And Runaway made him realize that he was asshole. And he admits it. He isn’t try to be something he isn’t.
This is the most fake deep comment I’ve ever seen
@@maddox1600 How so?
@@thekingofsomewhere runaway is not the recap and final of this dudes life he’s made several albums since and songs just as good as runaway that are just as or even more introspective, this is just the classic 14 year old hearing runaway for the first time and then thinking they’ve uncovered something life changing, the song is abou exactly what mans is saying like it’s common knowledge, runaway didn’t make him realize he was an asshole he already knew that the song is just about acknowledging that he isn’t perfect and understanding what he’s going that’s driving people out of his life and himself crazy, that’s literally what the song is about it’s not like this dude has some profound thought
Who is amber rose? I only know her for being mentioned in Famous
@@very025 That's because she doesn't really do much except... be famous, lol. I think she was a model who got famous for dating rappers (I know she used to date Kanye and 21 Savage)

MBDTF is the Sgt Pepper's of rap

and TLOP is like the White Album
so Yeezus = Revolver?
asking Kanye about his mom like that was absolutely out of pocket
No but fr
This is one of the most moving 1st person documentaries that ive ever seen. A profound collection of primary sources
This was a paradigm Shift of an album for Ye. People doubted him after 808s (Though I loved it), hated him after the debacle with Swift but the fact he was able to basically hit the reset button and explode once again. I might not think MBDTF is a modern classic because I have other favorites from Ye, but this was a great album that solidified him as a trailblazer.
@endmy suffering it got hated when it first released. People starting to appreciate it now
I also doubted him after 808s. I enjoyed 808s, but feared that if he kept on that path, his music was gonna go downhill, fast. Except...he came out with a hip hop classic!!!
