i think i messed up the audio during the songs so sorry if you can’t hear me properly during some of them i promise it wont happen again 😔 thank you for watching tho and have a nice wknd
Everybody makes mistakes! still loved the reaction!!
that's okay, nice cuts though
thanks guys i’m happy to hear it didn’t tarnish your viewing experience
molly da 🐐 no 🧢
bro has NO game@@chuckiemyers
Street lights hits my gut every single time
Top 10 Ye song of all time
@@ZayAgka for sure, me personally i would say top 5 because theres so much emotion in that song
@@aboliiwhat are the other four?
This album changed so many lives…thanks for reacting!
Truth
Also inspired the current artist running the rap/hip hop game
One of the realest comments 💯
Most influential of the 21st century
Im curious how it change lives ? Like did it change yours and how
This album Influenced artists like the Weeknd, Lil Uzi, Juice Wrld etc it really changed the landscape of modern Hip/Hop
You left off Drake
This album n Dark twisted fantasy changed me forever
Frank Ocean Nostalgia Ultra
Don’t make it sound bad lol
I always imagine the the two beeping sounds in Say You Will are beeps from a life support machine. Knowing his mom died from complications during surgery, and the fact the song has a long outro, it’s just the feeling of waiting to see if she will survive. Beautiful art.
i think the song is just about his ex but yea
Actually most of the 808s if not all of them on the songs are irregular heart beatsso youre kinda right
@@Edd_Ei interpreted it as he’s addressing his ex and complications in relationships, while his mother is currently passing and he’s unaware, and then in the last portion when it’s just beeps i imagined he heard the news and is now pacing back and forth in the hospital room processing it all
Coldest Winter is Kanye’s most underrated track by far
One of them for sure there are too many to compare 🥲
Nope
They all are
@@david-arthur8166it really is. Do you even know the meaning behind the song? Just by your comment, you need to go back and listen to it again 🤦🏽♂️💯
Absolutely. Also, Bad News is very underrated. Has the same vibe but is a bit more upbeat. I miss old Kanye
This album changed hiphop forever. Its truly a MASTER PIECE. And it lasted the test of time.
changed music*
I work at a home for developmentally disabled and one of my clients with autism loves to watch your videos with me. He is generally nonverbal but loves music, dancing, and kind company. You both have a positive, calm, compassionate tone that he is drawn to. I know he would like to thank you for posting these!!!
wow thank you for sharing! we're both touched and its nice that we can bring some positivity to you both, even if we're not really doing much haha. it means a lot!
Thats beautiful.
say you will is such a banger, man. the vibe is so entrancing, it's the perfect song to play when it rains
imo its one of the best intros of all time
So true, i think you could say that about at least a few of songs from this album. For me streetlights is the perfect late night drive vibe.
@@bloodblitzowns11 definitely agree. street lights is the perfect type of song to drive on a deserted highway at night.
They’re both so softly spoken it’s almost an amsr reaction
I love how many times Molly said "wow..." during this reaction! Such a special album!
808s to me is by far the best album I’ve ever heard
U can listen to it either when ur at ur happiest or loneliest
It changed music forever and is timeless
Amazing reaction as always! Can't wait to continue with you guys on the Ye journey.
808s is absolutely incredible album. The way it completely shifted the paradigm of music is just unprecedented.
My new favourite reactors are back! You guys really climbed the ranks in such a short amount of time, always looking forward to all your uploads 🤗
the live at hollywood bowl version might be the best ye album (unofficial but it is what it is) of all time for me. 9 min version of say you will, 10 min version of pinocchio story. insane.
I thought the vocal performance was not the best. They both are better singers than what they did that day
The Hollywood bowl version of Pinocchio Story is personally my favorite Kanye song ever. That version of it with the orchestra and more cleaned up audio quality really made it for me, the closest it will be to a studio version. If y’all have the chance, I suggest reacting to the Hollywood bowl version of that song, or the whole performance in general. Love the content👍
I second this. I’d love a reaction to the whole Hollywood Bowl 808s & Heartbreak session!
That was amazing
I love the part when he turns to the orchestra and says “just pianos” and really goes for it
I appreciate the album version much more because the crowd treats and reacts to Kanye like the object he feels he is.
You guys have become one of my favorite channels! I love the content!
what I would give to listen to it again for the first time again...
I love your reaction ❤
exactly what i needed this morning, thanks yall ❤
your wife is such a deep thinker and has such an intricate way of stringing her thoughts together🔥
Need more thoughtful women like her
Thank you for doing this!!! You guys rock!
just found your channel but your wife's incredibly descriptive and i love that..she renders the intangible pretty tactile with her words..bless
Cudi's on Guilt Trip and Gorgeous!
i totally forgot lol
@@f11.studios No worries, love your channel, it's becoming a personal favorite. I really recommend you guys watch Jeen-yuhs if you haven't already, perhaps after you finish the college trilogy
🙏🏼
And All of the lights too???
Without 808s&H we wouldnt have many of the artists we have today. This album was so influential.
I remember seeing this live at the Hollywood Bowl.
Amazing. AmaIng.
I absolutely enjoyed the reaction! The more I listen to this album the more I truly understand Kanye's pain. 808s is probably my 2nd favorite album of his behind Late Registration.
Can’t wait for the next reaction, this was a good one ❤❤
Now I'm hyped for this, I like the order in which you're taking her through Ye's discography! Coulda easily done it all in order but you give good context on each album to create a better picture of what these albums meant at the time. Great work
You two are so chill👌love it
With the whole thing with Kanye and Peggy, I think you guys should react to Peggy at some point, take your time tho!!
yes we are definitely going to!
goated album! love the reaction guys
My favorite Kanye album and arguably his most influential. Hits even harder for me now as my dad passed away last month. I always felt Kanye's pain on this but now I really do.
so sorry to hear. hope things get brighter for you soon 🙏🏼
Paranoid is one of my favorite Kanye songs ever. In the beginning I'm not 100% on what they were saying, but it sounds like when the song cuts on, Kanye is having a conversation with the engineer or just someone in the studio. And when they mentioned the word Paranoid, you can hear Kanye say "yeah that's good, paranoid", and then thats when he starts singing with the autotune. and thats why the guy laughs in the background. Me personally, from that, I got the feeling the song was a freestyle based on the conversation they were having. That's why the guy laughs in the back basically like "no way he's turning this into a song 😂". which I think makes the song like 100 times better. it takes so much talent to take a conversation or just like a random topic and then turn into a full competent song!
Such a fun song
Great review. I love this album! Looking back it definitely encapsulates the creative explosion that happened in 2008. Paranoid is my favorite on the album. It might be his best written song. It’s a small glimmer of light on an otherwise dark album. Coldest Winter 🥺, Bad News 💔, and Welcome to Heartbreak are also incredible songs.
Excuse me this will be long winded but not enough Kanye fans realize his entire discography is a cohesive narrative but specifically from Pinocchio Story on 808s through Violent Crimes on Ye.
On Pinocchio story Kanye sings about how he chased the American dream of being a superstar but now his mom is dead and his first fiancé Alexis Phifer left him in the same year and he feels hollow.
“I just want to be a REAL boy”
What’s the opposite of real?
A Dark Twisted FANTASY
On the intro Nicki Minaj in a fake British accent says “twisted FICTION sick addiction “
On the 3rd song Power Kanye says
REALITY is catching up with me , taking my inner CHILD I’m fight for custody” and later “this would be a BEAUTIFUL DEATH jumping out the window letting everything go” So it’s the death of the “old Kanye” and All of the Lights begins the Fantasy he has of living in the celebrity world of flashing lights , getting in trouble, having a daughter and divorce with custody battles.
So the album is him lost in that celebrity lifestyle and on last song Lost in the World it’s a poem he wrote to Kim before they got together and he feels lost in the world.
So from there because he’s lost in the world and with “the old Kanye” now dead he creates an alter ego Yeezus which is an over the top egotistical, sex addicted maniac basically and by the song Blood on the Leaves you find out this sex addicted shell of the old Kanye became this way because of a failed relationship “we could’ve been somebody”
On the last song Bound 2 gets with Kim and talks about wanting to marry her but still is speaking from the character of Yeezus with crude sexual language.
The Life of Pablo’s theme is explained on the front cover , a picture of an IG model representing his addiction to attention seeking, sex, fame, ego and celebrity which is next to a picture of a family in front of a church at a wedding representing his desire to live a wholesome family life and follow the word of God and all over the cover it says “which one” because he’s still conflicted, that’s why the album switches between religious themes and love then very superficial things like money , fame and sex.
The album opens with Ultralight Beam “a God DREAM” and after that there’s a bunch of songs about his addictions to the lifestyle until I Love Kanye , where he misses “the old Kanye” before the fantasy.
On the last song Sampha sings “where is God in your night life”
The conclusion of the thread of the Fantasy trying to be a “real boy” is on the album Ye.
The album is supposed to express the reality of Kanye’s bipolar nature.
The cover says “I hate being bipolar it’s awesome “
The first song I thought about KILLING You is about Kanye trying to metaphorically finally kill the other side of himself. In spoken word he says “most BEAUTIFUL thoughts are always beside the DARKEST” (My BEAUTIFUL DARK Twisted Fantasy)
The 2nd to last song Ghost Town (Ghost-are DEAD) he wanted to kill the old version of himself, the end of the song repeats “I put my hand on a stove to see if I still bleed and nothing hurts anymore I feel kind of free”
Meaning to become free Kanye couldn’t just kill the old version of himself because that is himself he had to accept the darkest sides of him self (put his hand on the stove) to feel free and like a kid again aka A REAL BOY like Pinocchio wanted to be.(Shake sings “once again I am child”
The last song the closes the 5 album narrative is Violent Crimes. Ye raps about how he used to be a savage and a monster but now he has a daughter and has to leave that life/version of himself behind.
The chorus says “REALITY is upon us colors dripping off”
This lyric is a reference to one of Kanye’s favorite movies The Holy Mountain about a group of false prophets trying to find salvation on the Holy Mountain but at the end of the movie you find out the you’re watching a movie inside of a movie and nothing was real. Kanye used to play this movie on repeat during the making of Dark Twisted Fantasy on mute in the background and on the Yeezus tour he had a mountain on stage.
Guess who closes the song , Nicki Minaj , and instead of fake British accent like on Dark Fantasy intro , this outro is a voice mail of her not performed in her real voice that she left for Ye in real life.
Last note , the name Kanye means “only one” the name his mom gave him and a song he sings from his mom’s perspective speaking through Kanye to his daughter North.
Ye is most used word in the Bible and refers to “you” or everyone.
On the Yeezus tour Kanye said Yeezus meant Ye ez(is) Us.
Only one refers to only Kanye(Ego) and Ye is you.
Most beautiful thoughts are always inside/beside the darkest.
Ye explained in an interview with Big Boi in Wyoming before the album that the album was called Ye because he was representing the different sides of humanity are all in 1, the good, the bad , the dark the beautiful etc
Yeezus, Pablo and Ye is the identity trilogy because he lost himself in the Dark Twisted Fantasy of fame and addiction and the albums all together are the journey of finding himself again after feeling lost in a Fantasy/Pinocchio Story that he just wanted to be a real boy after his mom dies.
Reality is upon us , colors dripping off.
Sorry I know that’s alot, I just like sharing the theory
Wow dude that's amazing. I am a new Kanye fan. Discovered him mid last year and absolutely fell in love with his music.
I thought about some of theses things too, but never brought it all together in the meaning of a coherent story. I always thought about each project as it's own meaningful vision which they for sure are, but it's nice to think about them all being connected.
What do you think is the overall story of JiK and Donda after Ye?
@@mrcrap9911I am glad when someone new gets into his music , his discography is amazing. To be honest I was in a similar boat as you , where I saw some of the meaning but not all a cohesive story and I used to listen to a podcast called Watching the Throne, they did a deep dive on his entire discography and listening to them helped me crystallize in my mind the story.
Jesus is King is like him waking up and discovering God again after waking up from the dream after “reality is upon us” on Violent Crimes. He had been lost in the life style, but that album starts more with him struggling to balance his new life as a Christian. For example on Follow God screaming at his dad, and Hands On dealing with not being accepted by the Christian community. Idk if there’s as much of a cohesive linear narrative on Jesus is King.
But Donda on the other hand is often misunderstood as not being cohesive but it’s very cohesive (the original track list)
It’s like a culmination of the entire journey from his mom dying to finding God.
He starts the album in Jail and on the album he compared the idea of jail to spiritual jail, societal jail, the jail of growing up in the hood and wanting to break free of that life because of the pain caused in gang violence and literal jail.
Fivio starts his verse -when I was in JAIL I was low key
Lil Baby raps about losing friends to gang violence
Baby Keem raps about making it out of the hood
And Jesus Lord is a story culminating all that ending with a speech by Larry Hoover Jr about how his father in jail has hurt his family.
Also a lot of references to how God brings life or makes one free,
God Breathed
We gon praise our way out the graveyard back to life. Life=Breath
There’s a turning point on Remote Control where “God just grabbed my hand had a bigger plan”
Heaven and Hell- God is Freedom, Hell is Jail (also a lost in the world reference, you’re my Heaven you’re my hell , you’re my freedom you’re my jail.
The albums climax is Come to Life(God did Breathe)
The last lyric God is still alive , so I’m free. (Started the album in jail)
No Child Left Behind is like saying his mom never left him because he found her again through his connection with God.
@@mrcrap9911did my reply post ? I typed a lot again explaining but it’s not showing it posted on my end.
I’m guessing it didn’t, summary,
Jesus is King is waking up to what he felt was a Dream on Violent Crimes and now reality is upon us and he’s a born again Christian who wanted to spread the word on Jesus is King but the album conflict is in how he communicates being lost in translation. Ex screaming at his dad on Follow God and Christians not accepting him on Hands On.
Donda is the culmination of the entire story from feeling like he was in a mental and societal prison, and how God makes one free and he used his features to tell the story of how God can save people living in the hood or around Gang violence or in Jail like Larry Hoover on Jesus Lord.
The albums climax is Come to Life( call back to God Breathed , Breathe = Life
The last lyrics are God is still alive so I’m free(call back to Jail)
No Child Left Behind is him basically saying that his mom never left him and the journey back to connecting with her was through God.
Damn one could say this album is the birth of emo-rap
welcome to heartbreak is such an underrated song..great introduction to kid cudi
Yep
I think after this album, you should really show her his unreleased “Never see me again” to emphasize the state of mind he was during this time and prior to mbdtf👍🏽
Fun fact: He made this album in 3 weeks.
This I did not know! WOW
@@Landmind01lmfaoo
Love her take on how he had everything he wanted and how we saw that in Graduation but how it suddenly changed. Great take!
I fucking love this album man, always an special listen with it
As far as a "cleaner version" of Pinocchio Story, the VH1 storytellers performance of Heartless has a version of this freestyle that is more cohesive and super theatrical because of the stage lights, crowd, and band. Y'all should check that out.
Say you will my favorite from album, i love how this song hypnotizes me
This album birthed Drake
Amazing reaction 🎉
Such a great album, every song hits
Arguably the most transformative and innovative hip hop album of all time
The most influential album for modern hip-hop. Love the Kanye reactions
love this channel !!
Damn I’m actually not ready for this lol. I’ll be back in a few hours 🏃🏻♂️
paranoid might be my favorite kanye song ever! so good
I remember watching Kanye live on tv when he preformed love lockdown at the mtv awards in 2008, crazy this album is turning 16 this year makes me feel old…😭
Still can't get through Pinoccio's Story without shedding a tear.
I stopped using drugs 💉 after listening to this album my life really changed i have a son and a girlfriend now
amazing, congratulations bro!
Listening to this album with a good sub hits so different than with headphones. This and Graduation are hands down my favorite albums.
when this came out not only was I listening to it on repeat, the neighbors downstairs were listening to it on repeat as well. It was just 808s vibrating the building
Pinocchio Story is one of the best Ye songs imo 😢
Street Lights, Paranoid and Robocop are my favs!
This is great.
We need Life Of Pablo
I’ll suggest you two React to Kanye West VH1 Storytellers Performance it’s incredible and really gives you a inside look on how Kanye operated during this Era of 808s & Heartbreak🐐💔🔥💯
found yall cause of the beef, stayed for molly's amazing ear. new fan alert ⚠
My favorite Kanye album... Saved my life
love the vids i would love to see the reaction to tcd
Classic Album 💿
Def right to say it's his most influential album ever. Almost every hip hop artist that came out after this was from the school of 808s. Mixing singing and rapping and making a push towards more synth and autotune sound
My favorite song is tied between Welcome to Heartbreak and Street Lights. I dont think you could find a more grounded song than street lights tbh
This album is so moving... ❤❤
bad news brings me to tears
Nightmares doesn't get enough love.. That and coldest winter
ROBOCOP is a nice song. I enjoyed the VH1 storytellers performance and it stood out.
This album saved me.
nah i love robocop, 808s is top 3 kanye
I was looking for the robocop love! Had to scroll far to find it! I remember how great the Vh1 performance was for robocop!
Wish you would've told the story behind Pinocchio Story. How Beyonce basically told him he had to put it on the album cuz of how raw and real his feelings were and how the fans weren't even payin attention. Plus for context of his relationships and how so many artist show up on his songs as background and we don't even know it, especially goin into Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Love you Randy❤
His seriousness😭
Many conversations were held prior to this. He has long awaited this moment🙏🏾🤣
Street Lights is in my top 3 Kanye songs
I was waiting on this and still am w days late 🤦🏽♂️
Let's take a moment to give Kid Cudi his flowers for this one as well! Spectacular Album as a WHOLE! Ps. I totally appreciate both of you guys' commentary! Well done! I'd appreciate some of the major drops of the song to be played through, although I know you need to chop it up got monetary purposes.
Yep kid cudi is a goat man
WOW!!!!!!! OH WOW!!!!!!!
This album is full of perfect songs, my favorite album from Kanye
definitely one of the most influential albums ever in hip hop changed the game completely especially in a time where ganster rap was still at the forefront (i.e. Graduation vs 50 Cent Curtis). made a lot of rappers today like Drake. my favorite song is welcome to heartbreak
This album is so amazing and I highly suggest showing her Kid Cudi either the man on the moon series or all of his albums
Ye is the greatest EVER.. 808 is so legendary its crazy how many artist took this vibe and ran with it for the rest of their careers
this album is so beautiful
masterpiece
loved the video
Would love to see a Rodeo reaction if you’re into it!
memories made in the coldest winter ❄
The Caroline Shaw version of “Say You Will” might be my favorite Kanye song of all time
What an album, I remember when this was coming out, and when it did. Woof, it was def ground breaking for hip hop.
Molly's review: 'Oh wow'
Streetlights is one of Kanye's best song
Welcome to the heartbreak the best track 🙌🔅
Also, from the beginning to the eventual end of the album due to the order of the track list it is him getting over a heart break: 808's & Heartbreak!
I’ve enjoyed your reactions, love the Ye deep dive but can’t wait for J Cole to hit the channel!
thank you
Legend has it Beyonce is the person who told him to include the live Pinocchio Story from Singapore on there🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥fucking love that song man
my favorite album of all time
much appreciated bro 🙏🏼
my 3rd favourite Ye album
This is my winter album
My favourite album of all time.
The album that changed hip hop forever. Ye is truly one of a kind. No matter the quality of the project, you will always get a 100% authentic version of his mental state
