I remember sleeping at a friend's house, late 2010/early 2011 and just channel hopping between MTV and the other music channels. 'Cause it was late night they were playing the full length videos and I remember seeing the intro with the small girl and not being super interested and then the violins cut, the screen flashes multicoloured and the different text and symbolism and the Def Jam logo and Hype Williams name. It's literally giving me goosebumps writing this. Very rarely does something like that happen. Such a cool moment in time.
My favorite Kanye's verse in a featuring song is "American Boy", by Estelle. That song is timeless and his verse fits so well with the themes and mood of the song.
Runaway. The intro is simply 2 notes playing just slightly out of step but in sync for what seems like forever... THEN it hits. HARD. Just like the lyrics suggest the relationship pattern was. Masterpiece.
I fell absolutely in love with all of the lights the first time I heard it, one of the first songs I bought on iTunes, it’s such a beautiful piece of art, you play that loud with two 12s at full volume and that shit will make you fucking ascend ❤
Runaway is Kanye’s masterpiece because the lyrics are so deeply connected to him, but All of the Lights is one of music’s greatest masterpieces, you’d be hard to find someone who doesn’t like it
@@mcbill7352bro, I have grown. I still think MBDTF is better as an art piece, but I enjoy Yeezus more, and call me crazy but “I’m in it” is lowkey the best track imo. My bad for my past comments, my eyes weren’t yet opened to the genius of Yeezus.
Been a Kanye Fan since I heard slow jamz and through the wire on the radio back in 2004. Every since then a and even then Iv always been heavily influenced by kanye. He is a Legend in the producer community/ artist community. One of the most influential music producers of the 21 century😊
Whilst All of the Lights is a master piece. The song that shows that Kanye is on another level as a producer for me is No Church in the Wild. It is like a timestamp of his situation in 2012. Brillantly composed.
I wish we would could meet him because my mom is just like him. She doesn’t use a pattern when she’s doing her arts and crafts. She sees it in her head. Just like when they says Kayne sees the music in his head.
8:21 me and original poster agree on favorite Kanye versus of all time, I also like obscure things like flight school with him and T-Pain And I love his features with Mr. Hudson
I never liked kanye for no reason, then my friend was like ur gonna like this kanye, I said pls dont, then I changed my mind and holy crap it was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life.
I was around when through the wire came out college dropout. Who wasn't supposed to be a rapper. Became this awesome artist and then turn into a total weirdo!
Why do you keep calling Ye a producer… stop looking down on him, you’re speaking for no one but yourself. Kanye West is the greatest RAPPER. Not just the greatest producer. His rapping is untouchable. His songwriting is unmatched. It’s why he wiped Jay on WTT, and Kendrick on NMPILA, and it’s why said Em said dissing Ye would be career suicide. Kanye West is the King of Rap, because he’s the greatest RAPPER and the greatest producer. I’m disappointed in you guys for insulting him.
@@hiphopdx alright, thought you were looking down on him. My bad then Also he ain’t one of, he’s the greatest. He’s the only rapper on MJ and Elvis level. No other rapper has remained at the height of popularity for 2 decades and got even bigger, and drop albums just as good as his best albums still. And have 7 classic albums in a row. Ye is the 👑
He was the one with the whole vision he got everyone to do their part, no, he didn’t have the biggest part in making it sound good to your ears, but he structured it to make it sound better too your ears
The way y’all hype up mtdf not knowing 808 and heart breaks and mtdf were the first albums that weren’t truly him. The best parts are other artist lyrics or styles from other artists. It began the misjudgment of what he produced for us. It started the yes you can’t do nothing wrong ye. We as fans gave him to much power for being another dj Khalid after graduation. Back to being a hater. :(
He needs to chill for a while. He is a smart man. He needs to get some class back and watch and listen to all of the happenings around him unfold and shut his mouth for a bit. Just my 2 cents.
What do you think Kanye's perfect song is to YOU?
Gold digger tbh
No such thing. He has too many of them.
Wait Until I Get My Money Right
@@Ynknoyou’re kidding right?
Power and Runaway, the greatest Rap songs ever made. And a top 10 songs in any genre
The older I get, the more I appreciate Kanye. He’s by far my favorite artist/producer.
Man you’re a true student to the game, thank you for these videos fr
Thank you for watching and appreciating

If MBDTF is Ye’s magnum opus, All Of The Lights is the climactic, grandiose symphony layered with vocals and synths
Perfectly said
This video was so fun to make because every time re explore Kanye’s musical genius during that time period of MBDTF im more impressed
My favorite Ye songs:
1. Runaway
2. I heard em say
3. Blood on the leaves
Great list!
Last Call!

Graduation era Ye could do no wrong 🔥

Honestly incredible song

Ye is a genius. MBDTF is the ultimate masterpiece album.
yeezus better
@@mcbill7352can’t let people have opinions different to yours huh?
@@OogaBooga24723 sounds like it's you who has that problem
@@mcbill7352 what problem is that?

All of the lights is timeless. Funny thing two weeks agos I listened to the song & told myself this is the best song ever. It's timeless & unique
Perfect timing
Graduation is my favorite Kanye album, but MBDTF is a VERY close 2nd. So much so that I’m not mad at ALL if someone says it’s his best album.
MBDTF is widely considered his greatest rapper.
all of the lights, cant tell me nothin’, and good life are my favorite kanye songs of all timeee ..thanks for this documentary its well deserved
This video sent me back to MBDTF right away. Very interesting. Love it big time
Ye is a genius period
I can't recall when i first heard this song, but know this, it has never died in my head and i get goosebumps hearing it on the radio or tv station ❤
I aint gonna lie.... i was overwhelmed by this when it came out.... this shyt was O.D. Timeless album as well!!!
Drake is singing last "we're going all the way this time" underneath rihanna
He also had a verse that was released as a remix
Kanye West inspired me alot to do Rapping and Producing
He inspired me to come out as trans
@@TransKidsMafiaget outta here with that bullshit
People say he made Graduation but forgot about this master piece
College dropout, 808s and MBDTF are his best albums imo
@@Terra-jc9eqone of the most valid takes I have ever seen
Jesus walks was one crazy anthem. Kanye is just free and open minded, most liberated man on earth.
bro u made me fall in love with music again, keep goin ur talented
It doesn't have to be your favourite song, just appreciate the man's vision and efforts to actuallized it
Exactly
Graduation is one of my favorite Kanye West album
I agree
Drake is in the background on Rihanna’s last “we’re going all the way this time” in the breakdown
Woah
Been a Kanye Fan since I heard slow jamz and through the wire on the radio back in 2004. Every since then a and even then Iv always been heavily influenced by kanye. He is a Legend in the producer community/ artist community. One of the most influential music producers of the 21 century😊
The horns over this entire video 📯🥳
i dont think you know what horns are
The Tarantino of rap, the best parts are "borrowed", I mean there's a art to this and that's to be celebrated just don't go too overboard
We already in the water, Homie. A shark bit my leg and I'm still swimming!
It's a truly majestic piece.
Whilst All of the Lights is a master piece. The song that shows that Kanye is on another level as a producer for me is No Church in the Wild. It is like a timestamp of his situation in 2012. Brillantly composed.
one video and song I have never skipped not even once
this song just a vibe always shed a tear
Ye MBDTF is brilliant! Thank you for making this video and attaching so much quality footage. Some clips I’ve been looking for many years 🙏
Thank you for appreciating the work!
Great breakdown
Thank you!!!
The definition of a perfect song !
I think it’s best song is All of the Lights it’s a perfect chaotic mess. That sounds amazing.
This song gives me CHILLS
Same
Ye is the 1st artist to let his fans make the album for him.
Yandhi era was crazy
Favorite Ye Features
- I still love h.e.r by the teriyaki boys (feat Kanye west)
- welcome back by ma$e the remix (feat. Kanye west)
perfection
Ye is one of the elites most definitely as a artist and producer 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
I believe his song, "Heard 'Em Say" ft. Adam Levine is his absolutely perfect song
Great song
I wish we would could meet him because my mom is just like him. She doesn’t use a pattern when she’s doing her arts and crafts. She sees it in her head. Just like when they says Kayne sees the music in his head.
The song never moved me . Your telling me it’s so special but to me it was just another over the top Kayne song.
Not my favorite Kanye song but I think seeing the process made me appreciate it more
It's okay to have bad taste to a point 9f hating what everyone else love... It's okay
Then why are you here? We hate on someone else’s appreciation of something? That’s sad bro :/
Including the interlude, I believe it's the greatest song to ever be released
literally his magnum opus
Kanye sees what no other human sees! He’s from a different planet 🌎.
8:21 me and original poster agree on favorite Kanye versus of all time, I also like obscure things like flight school with him and T-Pain
And I love his features with Mr. Hudson
Best song Ever!!!!
Cant overlook jeff contributions.
I never liked kanye for no reason, then my friend was like ur gonna like this kanye, I said pls dont, then I changed my mind and holy crap it was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life.
i love the old kanye
1 of my favorite Yeezy tracks .... 🔥🔥🔥
Good life is my favorite, but all of the lights is in the top five
I love kayen
Huge record
How did you get a Consequence interview?
MBDTF should have had an instrumental version released also
For real that would be awesome
this is his best album!!!!!!!!! 🫶🏽💯
Definitely my favorite song.
Runaway
Ego (Beyonce)
Down & Out (Cam’ron)
Hell of a list!
Genius! Motherfuccin Genius ❤😂
Agreed!
All of the ligh is the greatest❤❤
Thank you for sharing this with me it was amazing
Thank you for watching
all of the stars(lights) gathered to make all of the lights
anyone know the piano and violin instrumental cover at the beginning?
That song was made for stadiums & sporting events
Who could pull this one out, if not Ye
fire
👁️🩵the video when lil girl goes to school the 💡💡are on & when she gets 🏡 the 💡💡are on🔦then ☝🏾 night the 💡🔦💡go out & the chorus starts🎶🎶🎶
CHARLIE WILSON IS SINGING "ALL OF THE LIGHTS"
15:20 Movie marathon with Ye?! Why not!? 🍿😎
Sounds like good times lmao
MBDTF is 1000% his Opus Magnum
Best song on it?
Christan Dior denim was his greatest collaboration
Amazing!
I love kanye west ❤
Idk which song is the best on MBDTF. Gorgeous, Runaway, All of the lights or Dark Fantasy?
Power is up there too 👀
7:30 YAEEE
1:13 and 12:18 alicia keys....pregnant 😂😂
Lets there be light
🐐🐐🐐🐐
If only he could have been that attentive at astroworld
I was around when through the wire came out college dropout. Who wasn't supposed to be a rapper. Became this awesome artist and then turn into a total weirdo!
It was actually much more simple than that. Back then if you wanted a hit song you collaborated with Rihanna ;) An over simplification for sure, haha.

I’m disappointed in you guys for insulting him.
He is definitely one of the greatest rappers of all time also, this song was just focused on him as an executive producer
@@hiphopdx alright, thought you were looking down on him. My bad then
Also he ain’t one of, he’s the greatest. He’s the only rapper on MJ and Elvis level. No other rapper has remained at the height of popularity for 2 decades and got even bigger, and drop albums just as good as his best albums still.
And have 7 classic albums in a row. Ye is the 👑
So basically Kanye had almost nothing to do with making "All of the Lights" bang so hard
He was the one with the whole vision he got everyone to do their part, no, he didn’t have the biggest part in making it sound good to your ears, but he structured it to make it sound better too your ears
@@OogaBooga24723 Cudi did more to it than Kanye
@@dabigdikdangler my brother in Christ did you even watch the video??
The way y’all hype up mtdf not knowing 808 and heart breaks and mtdf were the first albums that weren’t truly him.

Back to being a hater. :(
That’s a good opinion.
guys... stop talkin bout Ye... it's not helping him
He didn't give new opportunities to new people...but he gave his ass for ir
Lights lights lights Illuminati ..
"United the Industry to create HIS masterpiece", 😂😂
LMAO
I Rock With Kunye The Longway
Ye24
Drake came in and was also pregnant
He needs to chill for a while. He is a smart man. He needs to get some class back and watch and listen to all of the happenings around him unfold and shut his mouth for a bit. Just my 2 cents.
K❤
Power is better😂
I just know he bet on black…
All hail yeezus christ !!
