I remember the night when 808s dropped and the radio hosts were so confused. This auto tune and heavy 808s have become a staple of rap and hip hop 10 years later. This man was so ahead
in what way? All I hear is a super generic pop song with a singer that can't sing and puts awful autotune. The world is crazy man. Stop making stupid untalented people famous!
ZiplineShazam I think in Kanye's case it was a way to produce a new and interesting sound. To evoke a mood. Like any other musical innovation. The guy can obviously sound good without it, so I don't think that was his motivation.
just because it has autotune it doesn't make it bad the weeknd got a really good voice and on travis scott - Pray 4 Love he used autotune for the effect
I remember how hated this song used to be by his so-called fans because it wasn't the classic rap sound they expected from Kanye West. Meanwhile this is a masterpiece.
This whole album is underrated I guess because of how perfect his other albums are but even though a couple songs didn’t age well pretty much all of them are great and if you don’t compare it to his other albums it’s actually an awesome listen
808s and Heartbreaks man, one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Kanye is a legend no matter how we feel about him. Has always been ahead of his time.
@@cyberia___ No, he's definitely a Nazi. He has shown several times that he despises Jews, and he publicly admitted to loving Adolf Hitler. How is he not a Nazi?
I realized his musical talent then but because of the autotone he was dismissed. But he paved the way for Drake with this. I see why they became rivals now.
I still use this song as a standard when I buy new headphones ...if the headphones don’t make me feel the 808s jerk my heart I’m not buying them, Thank you, NEXT
Saitama um late had diamonds from sierra leone the song that had top 5 verses of all time gold digger heard em say SKY HIGH DRIVE SLOW ADDICTION. Your crazy lol graduation is better then college dropout
One of my childhood songs. I remember the first time I heard this song I was about 8 or 9 in my friends car coming home from the skate park and this came on in the car.
Kanye always knew that Africa was the future, he was way ahead of his time .This was a song inspired by African drums which was an unpopular thing in the America those times ! I remember this video randomly popping up on tv in 2009. I was sitting with my grandmother who was purely African with no Western influence whatsoever, To my surprise she liked the song! Let me tell you he hit the nail with those African drums and my grandmother resonated with it because they were echo's of our traditional African music , that made me realize that with music you don't have to speak someone's language for them to like it, nor do you have to share the shame identity, culture, heritage and history. Music is a Universal language ! and it speaks to the soul in ways that words can never express.
It speaks to the emotions of us. I can tell you this right now... as a big fan of rap and even vulgar rap--- it speaks to our mind/ego/emotions/feelings--- which most people think is their soul... but that said... only Songs that glorify Jehovah (the creator of life and soul/breath of life) can really reach your soul. That and love/romance songs that enliven you. Others just speak to who I am amongst the masses. But songs of love and glorification of Jah --- really reach my soul and who I am before God

Honestly I think Graduation and My dark twisted fantasy are masterpieces but 80s is really good too. The life of Pablo was good if your into jazz rap. My least favorite is yeezus please come back Kanye.

+zongo maqutu I never said it doesn't exist, I'm just kids will never know Kanye for the Artist he really he is. They're caught up on the hate that people give him and they don't give him a chance to know who and what he really is all about. I still say Kanye is all time Top 10 Rapper/Producer!! I just wish he could still make songs that could be Hits, Billboards Top 10 like he used to. Now it's just Features with other Artists and it doesn't show his true ability for the Rapper he actually is
JDashRunnIt its really hard not to develop a big ego when you're constantly in the spotlight and am always being watched. Immense pressure to deliver hits. Not saying it's right for him to do some of the things he's done, just an explanation
They're 808 kicks I think which is the main part of 808 and heartbreak. That was at the time when 808s starting coming out and being really popular for hip hop beats.
I remember my dad showing me this music video late at night on our OG home computer in the family room. I'd be sitting on his lap and we would just jam to this song together through our trashy speakers. This video is forever nostalgic for me and it blew me away as a kid when the dancers broke through the barrier.
You can say whatever you want about kanye. Hate him or love him, he makes great music either way. to me 808 and heartbreak and mbdtf are his best albums hands down.
my favorite song by him, always gets stuck in my head, used to stay in my brain from the first time I heard it. didn't realize it back then, but this song is what made me want to listen to Kanye. #1 artist of all time
I love how every comment is reminiscing on the past "Kanye". But when 808's was released 6 years ago, people said the same shit: "808's sucks, bring back the old Kanye" blah blah blah... Some amazing fans you are. When will you all realize that he switches his style up every album. :/
Everything you said is correct, but I'd say that his style is evolved starting from 808's, I mean there would be no MBDTF w/out 808's and the same for Yeezus with MBDTF. But again, you said it: people used to HATE 808's when it first come out, now they keep saying the same shit about "past" Kanye. They're not fans.
Kanye did NOT make this all alone. The other writers of this piece are Jeff Bhasker, Jenny-Bea Englishman, Malik Yusef, and Jan Menzies. Kanye is known to have used a 'maximalist' approach for his last few albums, using the help and opinions of a ton of other people. I hope this helps. ~January Elh
+Randy Reyes he never was humbe look up old interviews of him in 2002 saying he will be the fucking best and he didn't have an album out yet and saying he's his own favorite rapper
Randy Reyes you have to be confident in order to make it nobody makes it big being humble they have to believe in themselves and it is neccesary considering that he is a rapper where arrogance is welcomed specially in the beginning of his career people said he couldn't rap and was only a producer so he used his arrogance and became one of biggest artists to shame them
"I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong"... This song reflects literally the ending of my relationship. I'm devastated but this song and its album are really helping me to understand a relationship can end because other reasons than losing love for each other and be able to get over it.
This is what is most painful...When there is still love between two people, is that one of them, decide to reject you "again" and block you in all possible communications...Like in this beautiful masterpiece... ruclips.net/video/OydK91JjFOw/видео.html The worst is when the rejection is based on a stupid misunderstanding on the one hand, and a very bad understanding on the other hand, having triggered "The damned Kraken & his cohort of demons", destroying everything... Anger is always a bad advisor... It makes you make many mistakes, like erasing yourself, refusing him from now on, all access to your conscience, your thoughts, as he did himself, and lock yourself in a cold mutism to heal, move forward and especially protect yourself from all new venomous and painful stings... Instinctively you must protect yourself and take refuge in your citadel... Even if you have to live with a love lockdown and a cold case love too... ruclips.net/video/eMjEyWaoNKE/видео.html To love sincerely and deeply someone and to lose him in such a brutal and violent way...It's hurt like hell... ruclips.net/video/Uil0L-0F4no/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IPPTTvxojvg/видео.html And I'm still wondering how to communicate with a very complex emotional "Rubik's Cube"... ruclips.net/video/MM62wjLrgmA/видео.html ruclips.net/video/ifv7S__-vaI/видео.html Don't ask me why...

@@mamaziha79 mine was after 35 year marriage I was totally unforgivabley betrayed , not cheating but far worse for me but nothing to her , I was put in care at 5 , adopted at7 put back in care at 11 left care 16 joined army , met future wife at 19 still virgin, she pursued me relentlessly, I was more than hesitant . We got together , I told her “ I will never cheat on you , never hit you , if you want me never to lie , don’t ask about my past” I kept my word , she did too. After 30 years some thing was wrong , the dice was rolling , didn’t know what it was , said nothing , was extra vigilant , my defences were up . Then sept 2017 my wife and 2 daughters announced they had found my family , it took £ 14000 and failed cos of actions I had taken to hide . I had 2 forged id’s then 1 they knew me as,it took dna test to find my family in USA . To them this was really good they were ecstatic , to me it was end of my world which was just them. I never asked fo it, After 35 years in total I was out of house in 20 mins . Left everything but clothes on my back and 1 hold-all ,I know they didn’t understand , I lived homeless on spare ground behind garden center , 4 years later was seen by friend of friend , they told my wife , who arrived with 2 daughters and 1st grandchild I had never met. They full of apologies and vowing never to communicate with my family again ,. It took 4 weeks to convince me to go back with them, it was not the same , seperate bedrooms , never touched my wife , I wouldn’t even go in bathroom when she was in it, Met my younger daughters friend from unI many time she was studying psychology. One day she was stareing at me for longest time till I said “what” , she replied “ you need some serious professional help, your head is all mashed up”. They all went on to list odd behaviour ,like asking to use toilet every time , asking if I could make cup of tea , only ever sitting on kitchen chair in kitchen and turning it to face door, disappearing for up to three days , having an object fear of grandchild, terrible nightmares all night every night that I had no memory, many more , too many to mention, all I could say was “ something ain’t right it’s not the same ,the vibe is wrong , I’m not loving you the way I want to “ daughters friend said “ that’s love lockdown by Kanye west” Never heard of it before so hear I am listening to it , and at last talking , This song could be my road back to not been crazy and scaring people
Baby Keem really wasn't kidding when he said his influence was Kanye and 808's and heartbreak. One of his songs called "scars" off his latest album is literally the same progression as this. Amazing brother.
People are always going to wish for the old artist back. Same thing was said when he made Graduation, 808s, and of course, Yeezus. Same with Radiohead, Beyonce, RHCP, Paramore, but they stay good, sometimes improve and get more creative. Times are always changing, and so are opinions. People have to get used to it, or get out.
***** Really? I still respect your opinion but Sgt. Pepper's a masterpiece. Strawberry Fields is top 10 all time songs for me. But you are right on other stuff.
i remember seeing this on MTV as a kid and it used to scare the shit outta me.. watching it years later rlly is something bc this music video is just so beautiful to me

I believe the meaning of this song and video is expressing a black man (man of color) in a white mans world who's coming to the realization that no matter what he does he will never truly fit in this world because he's not of the fabric that makes up this world but just the (color) that entertains the fabric (white) and gives it life. without color this white world would be lifeless
Honestly I think Graduation and My dark twisted fantasy are masterpieces but 80s is really good too. The life of Pablo was good if your into jazz rap. My least favorite is yeezus please come back Kanye.
#WasntCleanWhatYouSaid
Kanye really paved the way for a lot of artists.
people don't give him the credit he deserves, they just hate on him for his personality. yet he changed the game.
nikole of course he changed the game Kanye Is one of those artist that influence other artists like that Kanye is the best luv him lol I miss this Kanye I do care about the new Kanye this I really Srry for his parents deaths why did his old fiancé leave him this album amazing
nikole he should derserve more
Humm like who?
Alexandro Lux Drake, Kid Cudi, Wale, Lupe, Chance, etc
Today's Kids will NEVER KNOW this side to Kanye West
false
+j galaviz okay....name another song of Kanye's Greatest Songs....This one is an Example...
+William Schwenke Spaceships!!!! Dude just because Kanye doesn't make music like this anymore it doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore. I'm 18 and still bumping that College Dropout
+zongo maqutu I never said it doesn't exist, I'm just kids will never know Kanye for the Artist he really he is. They're caught up on the hate that people give him and they don't give him a chance to know who and what he really is all about. I still say Kanye is all time Top 10 Rapper/Producer!! I just wish he could still make songs that could be Hits, Billboards Top 10 like he used to. Now it's just Features with other Artists and it doesn't show his true ability for the Rapper he actually is
+William Schwenke have you heard life of pablo or yeezus or my beutiful dark twisted fantasy all are great recent albums of his
STOP TOUCHING THE LITTLE ONES
GO EASY ON THE YOUNG ONES MY MAN
?
Let’s be honest: He’s an Artist. Despite his huge ego, he’s created some unforgettable hits. He and his music will be remembered and loved forever.
daft punk helped his too much
*forever. not just another few years
JDashRunnIt its really hard not to develop a big ego when you're constantly in the spotlight and am always being watched. Immense pressure to deliver hits. Not saying it's right for him to do some of the things he's done, just an explanation
his ego is portrayed bad by the media i honestly think he s a good guy
Try like a whole millennium that’s how long he’ll be remembered.
It’s 2018 and I’m still listening to Kanye.
alot of people hating on the drums, I think thats the best part
They're 808 kicks I think which is the main part of 808 and heartbreak. That was at the time when 808s starting coming out and being really popular for hip hop beats.
Sir Pooch btw I was talking about the background "drums" in the beginning not the ones that the tribesman play. I like them both
it's kinda heartbeat i think :D one is skipped at the end.. and that sounds good
i love the beat it makes me wish i could at least play the drums
I totally agree. My favourite part of the song.
I remember my dad showing me this music video late at night on our OG home computer in the family room. I'd be sitting on his lap and we would just jam to this song together through our trashy speakers. This video is forever nostalgic for me and it blew me away as a kid when the dancers broke through the barrier.
That’s the most beautiful retelling of a first experience with this song. Gave me goosebumps.
WHEN SHIT HITS THE FAN, ARE YOU STILL A FAN?
You can say whatever you want about kanye. Hate him or love him, he makes great music either way. to me 808 and heartbreak and mbdtf are his best albums hands down.
graduation was way better
not my favorite but it was really good as well
Aubrey's Wife What! It was way better than mbdtf. That My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy album is what made people start hating kanye
and we're supposed to refer to what most people think ? Personally, those are my fave albums. You can have yours lol it's ok :))
Aubrey's Wife Im not saying that popular opinion is bad but its a lot better than unpopular opinion
*want to go back to this era so bad*
G -DRAGON
Close ya eyes an imagine..
Back to 2009 where the good times appeared !!

I think everyone does at this point lol

STAY OFF THAT TELEVISION SET
#GOEAZYONTHAYOUNGONES
10 year anniversary of the album and here I am to pay my respects to the most influential album of the 21st century.
Nine years
@@so-vn8jc Ten years
@@so-vn8jc It's been 10 years.
COLLEGE DROPOUT was one of the most influential just saying.
Agreed
Kanye knew this was the sound of the future came straight after scars from Baby Keem
Same!! When I heard scars I had to come back to this masterpiece. It’s amazing.
I came after issues
Baby Keem is CERTIFIED 🔥🤩😤😤🥱
@@user-pg8gg6zs4m fax issues reminded me of this
The devil is in half the details...
SHOUT OUT TO MY MAN ERNESTO ASALTACUNAZ
"WHAT DO MEAN WHAT AGE ARE WE TALKIN ABOUT ?!"
my favorite song by him, always gets stuck in my head, used to stay in my brain from the first time I heard it. didn't realize it back then, but this song is what made me want to listen to Kanye. #1 artist of all time
I love how every comment is reminiscing on the past "Kanye".
But when 808's was released 6 years ago, people said the same shit:
"808's sucks, bring back the old Kanye" blah blah blah...
Some amazing fans you are. When will you all realize that he switches his style up every album. :/
I don't think these people are even fans. How many of them would have heard Bound 2 if it weren't for everyone talking about the video?
Shiiit, good point.
Everything you said is correct, but I'd say that his style is evolved starting from 808's, I mean there would be no MBDTF w/out 808's and the same for Yeezus with MBDTF. But again, you said it: people used to HATE 808's when it first come out, now they keep saying the same shit about "past" Kanye. They're not fans.
ginoblee94 Precisely. Just wait- 3 years from now, people will talk about how "Yeezus was a classic" and whatnot. Ignorance, ya know?
fhadj EVERY Kanye project has something special to offer. If you can see the best in it then you're pretty much set.
Excellent video and song.
Don't care if Kanye is outspoken in his opinions, the man has created some remarkable music.
Kanye did NOT make this all alone. The other writers of this piece are Jeff Bhasker, Jenny-Bea Englishman, Malik Yusef, and Jan Menzies. Kanye is known to have used a 'maximalist' approach for his last few albums, using the help and opinions of a ton of other people. I hope this helps. ~January Elh
NikkoTheNeko Well I never said he did it all alone, please don't make assumptions. It makes us both looks like asses.
NikkoTheNeko
NikkoTheNeko Why are you continuing this? Just who are you trying to convince?
💯 yupp
This song was on my Myspace page.
Graduation was on my MySpace page
I understand why Kanye is constantly fighting for recognition. He influenced a generation of artist.
And those he influenced have influenced the next generation. Off the top I think of Kid Cudi.
@@ChivasBarcelonaMex tyler too
John Sutton don’t forget lil uzi and juice wrld
Kanye looks humbled here. But honestly I dare you to say Kanye isn't one of the best artist of all time while listening to this masterpiece.
"Of all time" lol saying that in Ye's voice
Amen LOL
+Randy Reyes he never was humbe look up old interviews of him in 2002 saying he will be the fucking best and he didn't have an album out yet and saying he's his own favorite rapper
have to be confident some how, thats just a character he puts up trust me no way you could be this artistic and arrogant
Randy Reyes you have to be confident in order to make it nobody makes it big being humble they have to believe in themselves and it is neccesary considering that he is a rapper where arrogance is welcomed specially in the beginning of his career people said he couldn't rap and was only a producer so he used his arrogance and became one of biggest artists to shame them
What a masterpiece...I hope kanye will come back again
I SAW YOU ON TV LAST NIGHT WASNT CLEAN WHAT YOU SAID
Kanye West was in WAKANDA before EVERYBODY ELSE!!!
Kanye walked so that Black Panther could run
Zulu people, bro
Best comment !🤔😯😄

“808s and heart break, was sonically the introduction of greatness”
-Kanye
I miss the old music.
"I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong"...
This song reflects literally the ending of my relationship. I'm devastated but this song and its album are really helping me to understand a relationship can end because other reasons than losing love for each other and be able to get over it.
This is what is most painful...When there is still love between two people, is that one of them, decide to reject you "again" and block you in all possible communications...Like in this beautiful masterpiece...
ruclips.net/video/OydK91JjFOw/видео.html
The worst is when the rejection is based on a stupid misunderstanding on the one hand, and a very bad understanding on the other hand, having triggered "The damned Kraken & his cohort of demons", destroying everything...
Anger is always a bad advisor... It makes you make many mistakes, like erasing yourself, refusing him from now on, all access to your conscience, your thoughts, as he did himself, and lock yourself in a cold mutism to heal, move forward and especially protect yourself from all new venomous and painful stings... Instinctively you must protect yourself and take refuge in your citadel...
Even if you have to live with a love lockdown and a cold case love too...
ruclips.net/video/eMjEyWaoNKE/видео.html
To love sincerely and deeply someone and to lose him in such a brutal and violent way...It's hurt like hell...
ruclips.net/video/Uil0L-0F4no/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/IPPTTvxojvg/видео.html
And I'm still wondering how to communicate with a very complex emotional "Rubik's Cube"...

Don't ask me why...
But I needed to "get it out there." 🧠

And ending of him and Kim too.
@@mamaziha79 mine was after 35 year marriage I was totally unforgivabley betrayed , not cheating but far worse for me but nothing to her ,
I was put in care at 5 , adopted at7 put back in care at 11 left care 16 joined army , met future wife at 19 still virgin, she pursued me relentlessly, I was more than hesitant .
We got together , I told her “ I will never cheat on you , never hit you , if you want me never to lie , don’t ask about my past” I kept my word , she did too.
After 30 years some thing was wrong , the dice was rolling , didn’t know what it was , said nothing , was extra vigilant , my defences were up . Then sept 2017 my wife and 2 daughters announced they had found my family , it took £ 14000 and failed cos of actions I had taken to hide . I had 2 forged id’s then 1 they knew me as,it took dna test to find my family in USA . To them this was really good they were ecstatic , to me it was end of my world which was just them.
I never asked fo it,
After 35 years in total I was out of house in 20 mins .
Left everything but clothes on my back and 1 hold-all ,I know they didn’t understand ,
I lived homeless on spare ground behind garden center , 4 years later was seen by friend of friend , they told my wife , who arrived with 2 daughters and 1st grandchild I had never met. They full of apologies and vowing never to communicate with my family again ,.
It took 4 weeks to convince me to go back with them, it was not the same , seperate bedrooms , never touched my wife , I wouldn’t even go in bathroom when she was in it,
Met my younger daughters friend from unI many time she was studying psychology. One day she was stareing at me for longest time till I said “what” , she replied “ you need some serious professional help, your head is all mashed up”.
They all went on to list odd behaviour ,like asking to use toilet every time , asking if I could make cup of tea , only ever sitting on kitchen chair in kitchen and turning it to face door, disappearing for up to three days , having an object fear of grandchild, terrible nightmares all night every night that I had no memory, many more , too many to mention, all I could say was “ something ain’t right it’s not the same ,the vibe is wrong , I’m not loving you the way I want to “ daughters friend said “ that’s love lockdown by Kanye west”
Never heard of it before so hear I am listening to it , and at last talking ,
This song could be my road back to not been crazy and scaring people
What are u 16
Sometimes you can't help but agree with Kanye, that Kanye is a genius.
Musical genius for sure idk about everything else
All the time!
I remember hearing this CONSTANTLY on the radio back in the late 2000 era
The drumming at the ending was always my favorite geez definitely a legendary one 👏🏾👏🏾❤️🔥
Baby Keem really wasn't kidding when he said his influence was Kanye and 808's and heartbreak. One of his songs called "scars" off his latest album is literally the same progression as this. Amazing brother.
I see what you did there lol
He samples the drums too
@@retsncharles8281 Amazing Brother
@@AzeTunez pop off only on occasions brother
@@retsncharles8281 go figure never caught cases brother
People are always going to wish for the old artist back. Same thing was said when he made Graduation, 808s, and of course, Yeezus. Same with Radiohead, Beyonce, RHCP, Paramore, but they stay good, sometimes improve and get more creative. Times are always changing, and so are opinions. People have to get used to it, or get out.
His new songs are trash bro
Paramore is fucking garbage old or new O_o
They have okay songs, but still, it applys
TNA Aries You must dislike the genre, because they're pretty great in regards to it. Which kind of voids your opinion on the matter.
***** Really? I still respect your opinion but Sgt. Pepper's a masterpiece. Strawberry Fields is top 10 all time songs for me. But you are right on other stuff.
remember when he released this and everyone thought he was crazy?
Kairo Well he still is crazy; but yeah, you definitely have had to've been Kanye fan to embrace this when this was released.
Why though?
Yeah, when I heard it first I was like oh wow he's not even making rap albums anymore? Lame. With time I've now seen what it was about.
I recognized it was amazing, even back then!!!!
Kairo lol. He is a bipolar narcissist. I can hear it every time I bump this jam.
i remember seeing this on MTV as a kid and it used to scare the shit outta me.. watching it years later rlly is something bc this music video is just so beautiful to me
How did it scare you?

True, my brother did that today lol
808's is my favorite Kanye album. So sad to see some of my fav artists go thru so much shit these days. 80's baby speaking...
GO HARD ON OLD ONES 🔥🔥🗣🗣
This song was futuristic.. way ahead of its time..
How is it possible for something in the past to be futuristic? It’s not futuristic, it just set the trend
The friendzone anthem.
Lol definitely a 2015 comment
MUT King 907 Well obviously, it says when the comment was posted right there
MyDarkPassenger Hi, can you please explain what you mean by "The Friendzone Anthem"? Cause i honestly don't know what you mean by that.
MyDarkPassenger I'd say its more about Loving someone, but the relationship is over and Kanyes love is on lockdown because he can't love her the way he wants to.
MyDarkPassenger XD
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "what age are we talking about here?" WHAT DO YOU MEAN????!
Vividly remember this album and hearing love lockdown and heartless all the time on the radio… crazy it’s turning 15 this year I feel old lol.
Who else is going on an old school Kanye west music video marathon
