Finally created a Patreon www.patreon.com/mercurialno6 Never made a penny from any of these videos. Record Companies put adverts all over my work and claim the money. Can't blame them. This is almost the definition of a 'transformative' video... but like I said, I can't really blame them. Please subscribe to my Patreon if you feel able. I think I've exhausted the 'doing it for nothing' thing. People think I'm crazy!
You pulled out a guitar within first 2 minutes of the reaction what a legend
do you just do just you have just you do ?
@@LJ-fr1ei what
@@cachorrocareca3233 dababy
@@cachorrocareca3233 have you?
he would have loved the guitar on the unreleased ultralight interlude
1 song in and he’s already whipped out the guitar and is profusely sweating
This guy just fully understands music somehow lol
He's not bitter or arrogant, so many people work on these tracks and alot of people slam them as disgusting like they didn't make music. Love his reactions very unbiased
Cuz it comes from here bro ❤️
hes a producer but yeah I see what you're saying
if he fully understood music he would have recognized kendrick
Facts
I love this guy’s visceral reaction to music. Also, he very clearly doesn’t give a shit about copyright.
I’m not sure if he’s able to monetize but he’s made it clear that he transforms the work enough to the point it doesn’t affect the market of the original work, which is something you need to prove to not violate copyright law, so it doesn’t get taken down fully.
@@bubbadeedee3141 yup, he makes sure to be making sounds or talk on top of the song
“It’s not often you talk about bleaching your a**hole in Gospel” LOL
Am I wrong? :-D
@@mercurialno6 nah man, you are right
@@mercurialno6 you’ve listened to the wrong gospel. All the gospel i listen to is about a**holes
hello fellow yandhi fan
@@go1gamer781 hello brethren
Fun fact. The sample in 30 hours actually says “all the islands” Kanye just made it sound like “30 hours”
He did something similar in late. The sample says i will erase away.
@@Kiwi_J yeah, and for Through the wire. He does that a lot
Just further proof of his sampling talent
It’s “baby lion goes...where the islands go”
i think it's "where the islands"
Such a legendary album
one of favorite albums of all time ha for non stop replaying for a whole month
it’s dumb how when it came out it getting hate but to me it was a masterpiece
@@joshmadeyou7215 i literally hated it when it came out. now i love it.
mid
@@rileyboards6070 nah
I wish this was how my friends listened to my music i show them
So do I.
We need an album where this man plays a bunch of guitar solos over Kanye songs
A la Mike Dean
Hold my liquor - the mercurial number six version
we already have Mike Dean
@@Eric-rl2zm bro such perfect song to do with chief keef rapping in the background
LOW LIGHTS BRO
Kanye is still very much a hands-on producer, still chopping samples and all the rest, he just brings in all kinds of people for small touches although sometimes more, literally anyone involved gets a credit regardless of the size of the contribution. He's very generous in that way
yeah like for example if you give him the idea for something (volontarely or not) you'll get a song credit even if you don't even make music. sometimes some people don't even remember why they have credits lmao
Unfortunately, he gets producer credits on songs he was barely involved in as well. He admitted to this on his tape with A-Trak.
@@hullstar242 he influences alot of artist's beats, sometimes he just redos the drums or re tunes one of the instruments but yeah
He legally has to put them in the credits lmao
@@samylemzaoui2298 Yep, one of his frequent collaborators CyHi the Prince said something like he's too generous with writing credits, and then gave an example of something like he gave a writing credit to someone who was wearing black shoes because he saw the shoes and came up with a line involving black shoes lmao
He said “that backing is very yeezus isn’t it ?” And I shed a tear :’)
He a real fan now. Legend
I feel like you’re someone Kanye would enjoy working with in the studio. We all know Kanye feeds off the energy in the room.
no more parties in LA was produced by madlib that's why it sounds so great
madlib is so damn talented
@@chr0methang the goat
Madlib the greatest producer ever
And he produced it on his ipad
@@mynobnez on garage band I’m pretty sure
2 minutes in already whipped out the guitar, instant classic
he don’t misssssss
it sound so good with the guitar tho
Can we please acknowledge and appreciate the edits this man makes. Not only with the video recording but even with the audio. Including terminology that most fans aren’t even aware of. Thanks Mercurial Number 6!!! 🙏🏼
I read that as "can we please acknowledge and appreciate this man's ankles". Oops.
@@mercurialno6 well that too 😂
@@mercurialno6 Love your ankles! And your editing too, I guess.
Man the fact that someone like you, being a producer who primarily listened to rock music, is able to appreciate Kanye West’s true artistic greatness so far from all the Kanye albums you’ve listened to really makes me happy as a Kanye fan :) Kanye is so much more than a ‘rapper’ and in the literal sense too, because he is a producer. The way Kanye curates his pieces of art himself is often overlooked by people not open enough to listen to him. Thank you for branching out man !!!
You're right at the start that this is a gospel album, that's what Kanye himself called it at first. Obviously it isn't gospel in the traditional sense, but it represents Kanye's internal struggle between his strong Christian faith and his overbearing ego and indulgent lifestyle, both pretty clearly displayed on the album cover.
Yo chill
I like the way you said this
This is why it is called
The Life of Pablo...
Picasso (his artistic side)
Paul the Apostle (his religious side)
Pablo Escobar (his indulgent extreme side)
Brilliant concept.
I think Kanye had managed to blend his ego and religous sides. Much to the chagrin of the "humbler" religious people and less religous fans like myself but Kanye is sorta at the head of a full on cult these days, and has always had the mentality but not so much the direct following until he tossed out the cursing and in your face sexuality. I simply think he switched the way he practiced while keeping the same level of faith.
You said it so right
Basically Kanye always works with many people, and credits everyone, i've seen people who worked with him saying he would credit someone as a writer simply for standing in the room.
That’s the norm in studio sessions. Anyone in the room is credited
@@IDeletedData hmm no not at all
@@IDeletedData that's just a lie lol
Not to be that one dude but uh....
Aphex twin on blame game
@@garbagejuice1 but that was about the use of a sample right ? It's kinda different. and tbh i doubt it's kanye who directly goes to negociate with artists, it's more likely his label.
As others have said the reason there’s so many credits is because he gives credit to people for barely anything. Literally there was once an instance where someone was wearing black shoes and Kanye then made a lyric about black shoes and so gave that person credit. Often people forget why their names are in his credits haha
That’s why Kanye’s based 🙏
Also the food delivery guy he asked opinion on one time.
a lot of his credits are actually for writing and not producing, Kanye is a far better producer than he is rapper imo
@@daboomchakalaka7898 and the best part is that most of the people with producing credits are engineers or just making some tweaks for mixing, Kanye makes almost all the production by himself like 90% of the time, he’s truly a genius
I very rarely leave comments on youtube. That was hands down the best reaction to an album I have ever witnessed on the platform. The way you spoke about the different sounds whilst also putting in the time to edit these as you have. Absolutely incredible content. I am honoured to have watched this video. Thank you for this incredible content
:-)
Your editing is so underrated asf
I don’t know, I think we all rate it pretty high 🙌
It’s the best part. he even turned his shirt white after the bleached asshole line 😩
@@MankeyGamez next level
@@MankeyGamez ngl that was pretty obvious to see
I would love to hear a full blown EP of you just covering the best songs you reviewed in your reaction series.
THIIIISSSSSSS
Love that idea dude
Bonne idée ça
na
a 'hold my liquor' cover would be incredible, his guitar solo on that one blew me away
Fan fact. Originally the song “FML” was supposed to have Travis Scott on the hook singing “I wish I could fuck my life up” but then Kanye brought in The Weeknd for whatever reason.
and it worked so well
Because The Weeknd is miles better Travis is okay tho
honestly the weeknd did something fantastic on fml it's for me the song that aged the best in life of pablo
@@nabilelmaniaa6581 this album might just be he's best aged incredibly well
@@nabilelmaniaa6581 this album might just be he's best aged incredibly well
1:35 Mike Dean been real quiet since you droppped this
The Chemistry this man and Kanye West would have😂😂
You're a riot Mate! Keep it up
I’m sayin lmao these niggas would be insta BFF’s with they crazy ass
This is quite possibly the best reaction to this album ever
Kanye’s most recent album actually is a gospel album. He won a Grammy for it only months after pissing on one. It’s most people’s least favorite Kanye album but it’s a beautiful piece of music on its own. It’s called “Jesus is King.”
amazing album
I would say the main album isn’t very gospel, more just religious vibes. However the choir version definitely
It’s not a good album. Not really for anyone’s standards
@@dookie3453 Yeah, I akin it to "ye" (his previous album before JIK) but instead of the subject matter being his bipolar disorder, it's mainly about his faith.
@@KendrickMegaFan It's still a decently put album, albeit rushed. But certainly not reaching the best of Kanye's discog list.
Also.... let’s appreciate how Mercurial engages in his comments section. Really building a community here 🙏🏼
:-)
why is the guitar improv he did to ultra light beam so good. God I love this man
Wasn’t it!! Phenomenal sound to it, I could listen to a guitar additioned TLOP
The ending of fade was good too!
I will forever be defending the opinion that this is Kanye's greatest album. It's a manic culmination of his previous albums and a blueprint for the music he's created since.
That's a great way to look at it
This is exactly what I was thinking spot on
Facts (Charlie Heat Version)
This guy is so musical talented, you can just tell from what he says. He’d be a fantastic teacher!
Bro im high af and this is one of the best experiences ive ever had
i’ll join you in a bit broski
Hahaha I’m literally doing the same thing rn this is awesome
@Alex C happy 4/20 :)
@Alex C time to smoke

I’ve never clicked a notification that fast. Don’t worry though, I carpooled the early mercenaries here
thanks for the ride

just so you know, the editing where the song skips ahead but the transition is completely fluid is very much appreciated. amazing content as always
Glad someone mentioned that mate it was seamless
yepppp its so fun that you can listen to it and still enjoy the album
There's only one man on this planet that would play one of those wooden frog instruments when listening to Real Friends.
😂😂
Im not gonna lie I've had too much to drink tonight but I seriously vibe with how you do reactions on this channel on a different level. Shed more than one tear during the watching of this video. Just the fact that this video was released as at the time it did was enough to make me believe I am living in a simulation. Thank you Mercurial Number Six, the Morpheus of reaction videos.
This isn’t just a reaction but more of a performance… I love it
that guitar in Ultralight Beam was incredible
When this man pulls out a guitar you know you're about to witness greatness
Nice pfp
Man Kanye should get him to play on a record. That be sick
That's a nice profile picture
As a music producer myself, these reactions are probably the best on CZcams. This guy actually seems to know what he's talking about from a producer/engineer's perspective. Never thought I'd pick up a mixing trick or two, or some inspiration from an album reaction video haha. Keep the videos comin homie, much love from California 🔥
Probably? :-)
The guitar at the beginning was LEGENDARY!!
I've listened to this album in it's entirety over 15 times and this man is teaching me production aspects I wasn't aware of at all😂 best reactor in the game fr
only 15? those are rookie numbers
@@Caaaaspeeer more a fan of the older work honestly
@@AaronASMR04 yeezus is god tier
Why does music sound better when I listen to it with you???
The vinyl has higher quality sound compared to streaming platforms like Spotify and apple music plus he does some tuning on the editing
Vinyl is analog and streaming services are digital but even tho he's listening to it on vinyl we would hear in digital because we're watching it on CZcams
@@beard6329 TLOP isn't on vinyl
@@beard6329 he isn’t even listening to vinyl
@@oliodb7486 TLOP was never officially released on vinyl
Your Kanye reactions give me life.
the best youtube channel hands down. can't even describe the joy these videos bring
Immediately clicked on this when I saw the notif this finna be crazy
Oh yeah I’m feeling it
I want it I need it
He needs to listen to exmilitary
@@roninlyons7533 change your pfp
This is my personal favorite Kanye album, glad you are reviewing it. also its incredibly impressive how you can insert yourself into the song on a random instrument and fit it like it could be part of the actually song.
It's quite tricky without knowing how the song goes!
@@mercurialno6 yet you still manage to pull it off, we appreciate you sir!
Man, love this reaction. Feels like it’s my first listen of the album with a fellow musician geeking out over all the production that 99% of reactions miss.
These reactions always help me further appreciate the instrumentation even more for albums I already love
i don’t normally comment on youtube videos but i wanted to let you know the level of editing you do is much appreciated
I am dying of laughter at the fact that the only snippet of Facts was just a few seconds of you having a pure heart attack over the bass and screaming
Dude ikr, this might be my new favorite channel lmao
You should try listening to "After Hours" by the Weeknd if possible, I feel like the synths would send you over the moon!!!
I love the energy you show up with on every reaction, you can tell you have music at your core/in your soul
Never seen a like/dislike ratio like this one. All the homies love Mercurial Number 6.
I swear you're The gift that keeps on giving. Can't wait for you to do Graduation, you'll love the vinyl.
Sadly there never Was a legit vinyl Release.
@@MB-yd1io oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. They only made like 100 official copies.
@@carlosrp23 nah there was no official copies at all lol
@Carlos nah man there were none made I have a bootleg lol but there was never legit a vinyl release.
Madlib did no more parties in la on a ipad.
One of my all time favorite albums, listened to it hundreds if not thousands of times. Listening along with you made me feel like I was listening to it again for the first time. Thank you.
I hope he knows that No More Parties in LA is produced by Madlib
I didn't.
@@mercurialno6 Produced on an iPad as well I believe
@@mercurialno6 Also Kendrick Lamar is the feature on that song
Might be my favourite beat of all time
@@jolsatnite Idk bout nmpila but ik for a fact that he produced the entirety of bandana on an ipad
WHOLE NEW MEANING TO GOOD FRIDAY
Editing on this was fantastic and the energy coming through my screen was just awesome. Also continuing my ritual of asking you to give Fleet Foxes self titled album or Helplessness Blues a listen for a complete and beautiful genre switch. Keep it up bud x
Awesome video, I never thought watching someone listening to my favorite artist could be so entertaining. Keep up the good work
You should react to Childish Gambino's "Because The Internet" Album
This is agreeable
The production being all over the place would be perfect for his channel lmao
Yess
Or royalty
If Kanye doesn’t create a reproduction of the record with Six’s guitar solo, then the album isn’t truly fixed.
Your energy is unmatched you have this crazy cool way of explaining how it’s made
BRO YOU GIVE THE SONGS A WHOLE NEW MEANING THANK YOU 🙏
dude you're a genious, honestly. The music knowledge and to be capable of taking the guitar and adding some more to a song out of nowhere, thats beautiful
Chyi The Prince (AN artist who works an all Kanyes music) said Kanye gives credit to anyone who was in the studio if he thinks they helped provide anything even getting the coffee(Presumable with 4 sugars and GOAT milk)
The GOAT milk had be cracking up. But yeah.. word, Kanye does give credit to anyone and everyone involved in the process
The editing makes this feel like a short film. Incredible production.
Easily my favorite Kanye album. So much variety, so many awesome collaborations. An album that intentionally feels messy, like a window into Kanye’s train of thought. Its a brilliant album, and like anything West has ever made, it’s only gotten better with age.
Well put. It's got such a special place in his discography. Personally my favorite Kanye era.
Slightly upset we were deprived of Chance's verse on Ultralight Beam to start out I gotta be honest.
full video will be on his website

@@abartel6 oh I actually didn't know that thanks
@@abartel6 i didn't see it on there
@@abartel6 wherev
we have to get him to review blond. that will complete my life lol
I love it everytime you include the electric guitar, love the instrument so much and sounds so epic and groovie over anything
the amount of editing and knowledge this man puts into his videos is so god insane. Never change Mercurial Number Six
Now, this one caught me off guard...youre a legend man
you should do “Lift Yourself” by Kanye. One of his best singles! Thanks Mercurial!!!
I’m just watching this now and I gotta say I love the content! Bravo
i did not know how much i needed this
that guitar solo on ultralight beam omg
I like that he’s teaching as he listens🧡
Man I love how you just start playing along with the songs as you listen to them, no one else doing it like you forreal
By far my favorite channel on CZcams keep it up the great work man
I respect carrot cake being favorite, it just hits the spot sometimes
Cream cheese frosting goes hard
Literally this morning I was listening to TLOP and wishing that he would react to it
These reactions make me fall in love with albums all over again
Love this project 🙌🏼
Noo where’s “pt.2”!? I was waiting for the “krrra’s”
same :(
Pt 2 not great
@@bbb-md2uw bro what?🤨
He has the original release of the album on physical copy, which didn't have those tracks. Kanye updated the album after sort of a polish up because wolves, and some other tracks were jumbled so hard it was garbage.
@@jamesmalcolm9966 tlop never got a physical release. He probably edited it out for copyright
I'm glad you appreciated "you left your fridge open somebody just took a sandwich"
Right
I'm prob dense ash but whats the meaning behind the bar?
@@420weabooslayer it means people take advantage of you if you were nice.
to a degree that they just take a sandwich from your fridge and they be like “i’m sure he wouldn’t mind”
You help me see a whole new side of an album I’ve listened to so many times, feels new now.
That guitar mix with Ultralight beam literally transcends me into heaven
It's incredible how he even speaks at time with the music
That guitar over ultralight beam was godly
My favorite channel by far in years
Finna hut the dispensary soon and just binge watch every single reaction on this channel fr😭 that guitar solo gave me goosebumps
respect to you for being willing to be yourself on youtube and to try and create something new
I don't think there is anyone that enjoys music as much as him
This is unreal. Made my week
Having the technical terms come on screen to help explain stuff is a realllly nice touch! Pls keep those
