Ok but why is his whistling so clean??
a guy like me doesn’t even know how to whistle
cause he sings perfect and was a choir boy
It sounds like a western cowboy theme..... god kanye’s a genius
@@leekei5929 kanye is basic dorian melodies that sound houseish all the time or delta ish
his aesthetics are off the chart
idk maybe because he is a beatle
Hearing Sir Paul McCartney say "yeah but it's Kanye" really speaks volumes.
@DnB and Psy Production no it's that it's Paul McCartney, the Beatle born in 1942, the guy who wrote I Want To Hold Your Hand, talking about conversations he's had with Kanye West
@@desmondkisida8280 exactly mate, I think kanyes a knobhead but this is biblical
@DnB and Psy Production shut up and quit being one of those trying to start an argument out of everything on the internet types.
@DnB and Psy Production ohh you misread the comment. He was saying it speaks volumes that McCartney has that impression and opinion/regard of Kanye’s character that he reacted as such
@@nathanadnitt Kanye isnt a knobhead. Kanye has influenced the music industry in ways that are on par with the Fab Four.
So essentially, Picasso is indirectly responsible for All day.
Crazy thing is that there is real chord encoded into that painting and it's beautiful. That's an amazingly clever hidden Easter egg.
Life of Pablo
I FEEL LIKE PABLO
I wonder if that helped develop So Help Me God into The Life of Pablo, since “Pablo” is referring to Pablo Picasso, Escobar, and the Saint.
@@DDub04 i think we should add to the Pablo list Paul McCartney too (even of he was inspired by Picasso)
The original melody he whistled and played on the guitar was amazing wtf
Everything Paul does is just magic
@@mehmed6529 John >
for real this shit is epic
He tried to make a song out of it, called 'When the wind is blowing', you can find it on youtube.
@@corbsly John wasn’t racist at all though
I think it’s absolutely GENIUS for Paul to look at the painting and play the cords from it. I would’ve never thought of that.
I know right? I love that painting and I've never thought to try that, and it is really a beautiful sounding chord. Kanye is a fuckin kook.
The beauty of finding art in everyday life!
@@beemelonhead1 they’re both very musically gifted; just in their own ways. No need to rude to a music legend
@@ax7160 no man.. please. You cannot put Kanye in the same tier as a Beatle.. the man has built his career on using REAL artist's music (because he can't do it himself) and peicing it together and calling it his own. Just rapping words over other people's art doesn't make you an artist or talented. Anyone can do that. He's a kook.
@@ax7160 art influences art you mug
Respect Paul for being open minded with another legend
im sorry are you calling kanye a legend...?
@@hiena337 YES JAJA YOU ARE DUMB JAJA
@@hiena337 He’s the greatest musician of all time. Only Mozart could come close.
@@arachno1011 okay let’s not get crazy now
@@zap4156 but he is probably the greatest living composer right now. He's done a lot for multiple genres and popularizes sampling, bringing in appreciation for older greats and music that would have stayed in its time/genre. The impact that can have for future generations to hear music they never would have cant be understated enough

"Yeah but its kanye"
Loved that response
Yeah he respects him as an artist
Even old legends like Bowie and McCartney knows Ye is the GOAT!
@Gamer Of The Unknown Realm yes Ye is the goat
@Frédéric Chopin didn't know Kanye was known to be a singer
That’s a mental story. He totally flipped this amazing melody into a hard street instrumental.
Ye the 🐐
He put it in before the outro, it’s just that he shortened the song up for the live performance.
Kanye is a genius
@@luisfelipearriagada146 that's literally all any fans of his says with no context. He's just a genius lol
"Yeah , but it's Kanye"

I hope Kanye gives this Paul guy a feature on his next album. It could give him some shine.
Why is there no comments

Surprised kanye didn't use the acoustic whistle part as an outro , that would've been sick

It’s in the song! Just before the outtro
A real missed opportunity I'd say!
He did, in the official released version

Welcome to the Grammies.
Can't really expect the guy who wrote "I want to hold your hand" to use proper terminology on hip hop music
Exaggerated swagger of a Beatle
This man's whistling is so epic that it comes with its own reverb.
Do you not know what reverb is
McCartneys whistle us so clean even on an improved set up like god damn. It sounds perfectly mixed
Anybody can do that i taught myself i sound exactly the same and even better with some added tricks

It's actually a really smart move by Kanye, since it goes with the creative theme of his album "Life of Pablo". Paul wrote this song because of a Pablo Picasso painting.
I wonder if thats what inspied kanye
Pablo Escobar is the reference, not Picasso lmao
@@Fuckjaredmilton He actually named the album after Pablo Picasso, Pablo Escobar and Saint Paul. Picasso is referenced many times in the album too.
@@EdouardPicard0224 . It's actually both of them, technically. I ripped this from an article:
"However, he's been very open about his intentions behind the naming of The Life of Pablo. He named the album after painter Pablo Picasso, drug lord Pablo Escobar, and Saint Paul, the writer of several books of the New Testament. ... And that mix between message, art, and product is The Life Of Pablo.”
We're both right and wrong lol
@@Fuckjaredmilton He was never wrong lol, he said exactly what you just said
Paul McCartney is the undisputed heavyweight champion of great melodies. Nobody in history has a more impressive catalogue.
*cough*
Don't get me wrong Paul is very good, but I don't think he compares to historys greatest melodists like Mozart, Mendelssohn or Chopin
Tchaikovsky>
@@prototypeinheritance515 Paul’s up there
Really
One of the many things I admire about Paul McCartney, is his undying passion for music from any age. He has always enjoyed sharing music with young musicians, and holding his own as he plays with them. He wrote a great heavy rock song with the surviving members of Nirvana, after they performed together for Barack Obama. It was awesome! He is as enthusiastic now, as he’s ever been, and I don’t think that will ever change.
This man is a real musician and in touch with todays generation. Very open minded and not stubborn.
It's a smart move on Paul McCartney's part to get mentored by the guy who made Taylor Swift famous
You never know one day he too might be famous like Swift
@Christianity yeah you’re right I think bug related boy bands is a huge untouched market he should tap into
Guitar groups are on their way out
This has to be one of my all time favorite RUclips dives
Paul McCartney talks like every guitar teacher
I imagine the audience jamming to Kanye at home
They probably do
1:33 he’s taken my melody snd made it “seriously urban” 😂
@Vozzr You’re either a child or extremely closed minded cause trying to rank musical genres over others is the dumbest thing ever. Music is completely subjective. “Haha, my favorite genre is so much better than yours!” Cool, I’m just gonna go back to listening to the music that speaks to me?
@Vozzr damn bro you're boring. To us metal is all the same ok? Your opinion is worth just as much as mine, you can't compare genres, not even on a technical level. Is classical music the best just because you gotta study 10 years in a conservatory? No.
Ps metal sucks tho
@Vozzr just accept that we dont like how it sounds, no matter the amount of work behind every song jeez. Also metal has the most toxic culture/fanbase and thats facts
@@piergiorgio919 I agree that you can't compare genres but metal is awesome
Paul Patridge
What I like most about this video is Paul's take on the n-word situation. Like he said, Oprah has always been against it and she even urges black people not to say it, but Paul retorted by saying how context is key and generations nowadays generally don't use it as a slur. Culture and language are so fluid, they change constantly.
Loved that take, it really puts it into perspective
Yes, but Paul wasn't saying it. Its still a word that black people should decide whether they use it or not. Still alot of weight & pain behind that word. Its the most controversial word in the English lexicon.
@@adventuresinmoodcity I can get behind that. Racism is still very much alive and no matter how much we want to take the stinger out of a word, language is a more powerful tool than most people realise.
I guess that is also why there are two variants of the word. One that is used by actual bigots and the other one mostly in hip hop and on the streets.
💯
thank you bro for clipping this, the original interview got taken down any chance you have the full version??
Hmm, since the original got taken down by BBC themselves, it's gonna be hard to find on RUclips. Did, however, find one on their website here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03w2989 It's higher quality even!
Wickn thank you!
Glad Kanye allows unknown artists to write with him.
so generous of him
It’s not funny anymore try different jokes
@@bangbangrogers2750 it was a year ago
@@UmWellOkay lol
@@UmWellOkay its a line from kanyes song bro
That whistle belongs on red dead redemption
Tbh Paul playing on the acoustic and whistling sounded like such a good western theme I stg
This is crazy to hear Paul speak on Kanye like this. Ye is so respected by his peers no matter how much non musical people love to hate. I love that Paul was so open to Kanye’s ideas and even where he took the track, makes me like Paul even more
I would love to hear Paul version of all day like the one he planned to create as a song with the acoustic guitar
And the lyrics gon be: all day *enwud* just over and over
You can, it’s called When The Wind Is Blowing
@@aarontimmins4161 shut up Aaron timmond, you have a lot of nerve showing your face around these parts
@@IHateSmilingFriendsTheTVShow Ye ma
@@aarontimmins4161 fella this town ain't big enough for the both of us
It’s kind of funny the track Ye decides to work with Paul on is an aggressive gutter banger. Like he heard Paul’s little man on the street corner rendition and he thinks “you know what this needs? Some expletives. Thanks Paul!”
As a black man, this explanation by Sir Paul McCartney is probably one of the great quotes that anybody has ever spoken about how "regular black fo" use the word! Just utterly brilliant!
Oh, and OPRAH is definitely NOT a regular black person, people! #longlivePaul #ivotepaulforanhonoraryBlackPeoplecard #yeahboy
No! Oprah is not a black person. She's more of a green person with golden hues in her eyes...she's all money,just sayin'.
That Fry Boy is just plain stupid . . . I'm sayin'! #showrespectforthegrind
Exactly. Paul is not close-minded like some of his peers and even many people that are ages younger than him. He recognizes talent in different forms and is open-minded to other schools of thought.
Man stfu. Talking all that “as a black man” I hate that phrase . Because your black and male doesn’t mean shit , as African or black stfu on that , doesn’t matter the race dent head
Crazy how a Picasso painting inspired McCartney to make a melody which then inspired Kanye to turn that melody to "seriously urban". Art really does inspire art. And art itself inspires generations
Hearing Paul’s guitar is like watching a beautiful painting
This video has given me big respect for Paul, you can tell he is a true musician and artist. He bought something brilliant to Kanye and Kanye used it in a brilliant way, and Paul appreciates that. Kanye did no bullying he is a musician and this was Kanyes beat to make.
Really cool of Kanye to help this new Paul guy get some attention
"4, 5 Seconds" still one of my top tier song of all time...i still listen to it till this day!infact I was listening to it only last week
Now did Kanye 2049 bring me here or did I bring Kanye 2049 to this
Has to be some kind of connection, i listen to 2049 all the time and i got recommended this
You brought Kanye 2049 to me so thank you
Kanye 2049 is fucking dope
This brought me to Kanye 2049.
I’ll take a whole album of acoustic whistle Paul McCartney
such an interesting video thanks so much for uploading!
That pfp tho 😭
@@benjaminherreraariza5661 haven't changed it since like 2015
Paul McCartney…. My nigga
The Picasso painting that was mentioned is "The Old Guitarist" (1903)
I wish Paul had just made his own song on that idea, beautiful whistling
He did, it's called When the Wind Is Blowing, he officially released it as a bonus track on the for 1971 Wings album Wild Life in 2018, but it's been circulating on bootlegs for decades.
@@justanotherrandomcrit8115 thanks for the gem of information ! can’t wait to hear it 🙏🏽💯
''Yeah but you know, he's Kanye'' -Paul McCartney
Thank you Kanye for introducing us to this lowkey artist, this Paul McCartney guy looks like he will become very famous one day
Even his whistling is incredible. Like an actually professional whistler would even be jealous of how good it is.
Wow, a Picasso painting influenced Paul McCartney’s musicianship. That’s definitely a great example of how the brain of a Beatle works.. finding inspiration from some of the most obvious places that no one else really thinks about. Genius.
The acoustics in that room are surprisingly good. Listen to how beautiful that whistle sounds with the natural reverb.
They were supposed to do a joint album
Swear on bob?
@@leonardonatera2344 bob
That would be exactly what Kanye needs
@@leonardonatera2344 bruh you swearing on me now
“A joint album with Paul McCartney turns into a single for Rihanna”
This reminds me of a story that my grandpa Harold told me about a cherished good luck charm that he kept with him for the duration of his life, after world war II. While he was in the war, he had a nervous habit of picking up souvenirs and small keepsakes that he found in the ruins of whatever city they happen to be passing through. Most of these keepsakes were tossed back onto the ground before he got home, to be forgotten and lost to history, but one was kept in his pocket all day, everyday for the remainder of his time. At the end of each day, he would take the keepsake out of his pocket and put it on his nightstand, grateful that he was alive to live for the entire day. He grew up quite poor and never had very much money, but as long as he had this in his pocket, he felt fortunate and grateful to be alive. I asked him if he gave the keepsake a name or if it grew on him like a personality. What did he call it?
All-day nickel
It's really funny that 50 cent was even to contest with Kanye becuase other rappers ain't shit compared to Kanye, he is unusal artist and man who coworked with so many huge stars like Paul, MJ, Madonna, etc,etc.
@Ddhfacetyy no he’s right
@Ddhfacetyy there are better rappers, but no rapper is a better musician than kanye
@Ddhfacetyy there aren’t artists better than Kanye
@Ddhfacetyy i mean there are better musicians than kanye but he's up there with them in the same tier and in the rap game, as a pure music maker I can't name people that are better than him. Not as a lyricist, but by music making skill
@Ddhfacetyy kanye is not the best rapper but he’s the greatest artist in hip hop if that makes sense
That whistle sounds pure cinematic.
Paul is such a goat for his perspective on Kanye and their friendship. two GOATS
So glad Kanye gave this old guy a chance to finally break through
2 legends, and gifted music geniusses making music together
This proves that Paul understands that there is so much more to music than meets the eye
Even to this day, you can tell he’s still a Hippie at heart !
I love ye and love and i love paul mccartney its great that two legends made three songs together
He seems too hip for how old he is. The way he’s able to articulate the nuance with which the n-word has been repurposed in the US, as well as the ongoing controversy, and then still express a reasonable personal stance at the end... Idk, I don’t mean for this to sound like a back-handed compliment, but I’m just impressed.
I think it helps that he isn't American but yea I agree
Two of the most talented creative people of all time.
lol. no.
I'm so glad he's able to talk about this so openly
Why was there reverb in his whistling 😭 sounded magical af
That whistling is sooooooooooooooo clean and pitch perfect O.o
Imagine doing something musically that makes one of the Beatles inspired and try to write a song like that
I was hoping he would discuss the process he and Kanye went through to create “only one”. One of the best songs I have ever heard.
Now I desperately want to see an acoustic version of all day by Paul with that beautiful melody
Ask and you shall receive.

i keep coming back here just to listen to this masterpiece beat
What a brilliant man
Doing It Stealthy is so emotional for me, I cry every time I hear it.
Sir Paul McCartney saying “it’s Kanye” is priceless
i love this video
Paul's the coolest guy alive
McCartney will always be my favorite artists,he transcends generations and doesn't care about words ,he cares about the Art
I like how I was thinking "hmmm, did this song have the n word in?" literally just before paul mentioned the n word
“He’d made it seriously urban” 😂
The movement of his eyes are freaking me out.
Paul's completed version with acoustic guitar and whistling can be found on the deluxe version of the Wings album Wild Life for anyone who might be interested, it's called When the Wind Is Blowing.
Anyone know the chords hes playing? Its a beautiful melody
I don't know the names of the chords, but looking at his two fingers, it sounds like [5th fret 3rd & 4th string], [2nd fret 3rd & 5th string], and [1st fret 3rd & 2nd fret 5th string]. Hope that helps 8^)
@@kambam95 Thanks! Sounds like the recording
@@justincreese4538 no worries! I also came to the comments looking for the chords but couldn't find it so I tried to figure it out
Paul Mccartney wrote this hit on two fingers. Low key flex from Paul.
It’s interesting Kanye got to work with him and ended up releasing three singles out of those sessions and probably other songs that we don’t know about
Always wished pauls part was longer or at least like a fading outro such a beautiful part to the song
He released a full version called When the Wind Is Blowing, recorded 1971, released 2018.

"SERIOUSLY URBAN" 😂😂😂😂
Interviewer surprised at how incredible his playing and whistling is 🤣
the song All Day is truly special! one of the greatest painters of all time inspired one of the greatest musicians of all time while he is waiting in the hospital, using picasso's chord paul mccartney whistles a beautiful melody, sends it to one of the greatest rappers/producers of all time who flips it into this very hard hitting beat, playing it at the BRITS with skeptas crew on stage paving the way for acceptence of hiphop in the UK. damn, thats why art is so powerfull. it creates these domino effects.

Yeah, right...
If you can listen to Doing It Stealthy without bursting into tears then you are a stronger man than I. That shit gets me every time.
The melody is haunting. Damn
I kinda want to hear a version with Paul’s acoustic melody lol
@@whyme4768 There is one!!! Look up When the Wind is Blowing! He originally recorded a track with this melody back in 1971 during the sessions for Ram and it remained unreleased for 47 years until he finally officially released it as a bonus track in 2018!
