He needs to pin this
At 2:12:43 when you asked if something had been released prior to college dropout the answer is no, before college dropout Kanye was just a famous producer that also wanted to become an artist. But at that time everyone doubted him and kept telling him to just stick to producing since he was already a successful producer, which he was producing for one of the biggest artist at that time (Jay-Z) and that he wasn’t going to be successful as an artist. So that’s what Kanye is referring to in the line “they expected that college dropout to drop and then flop”. (Also that explains why Kanye had a Jay-Z feature on his debut album because they were already really close since Kanye was Jay-Z’s main producer)
I’m sure you hear this all the time, but his next album Late Registration, is the College Dropout but arguably better and factually more orchestral and grand sounding. The great lyrics and vibes from the college dropout with much more complex and beautiful instrumentals, definitely check out the whole album. Love the video.
I've definitely heard that a few times yeah, and I am definitely going to check it out at some point!
imo college dropout is 100% better than lr
@@fan6.s definitely, i think that it’s arguable both ways, sometimes i think TCD is better and sometimes it feels like LR is better, depends for me.
LR is top tier ye. My fave along with MBDTF and yeezus
@@sunnny819 exactly
These Kanye album reactions are super fun, please keep it up!!
Happy to hear it!
As for the non song, spoken word tracks, You’ll hear them referred to as “skits” or “interludes” and you’re almost spot on. They’re commonly used to help portray the theme or motifs of an album or run of songs. A lot of the best rappers out there are able to make albums thematic or almost like one long auditory art peice i.e. TPAB by Kendrick or 808’s by Kanye. But other times they’re just used to break up albums like an intermission in a musical
Thanks for the clarification! It makes a lot of sense and works super well!
I love the reaction hope you do his whole discography
Sloooowly but surely making my way through it, but taking a kanye break for the next video, before we return to him ;)
Family business made me cry the first couple times as well, one of my favorites of his
Absolutely wonderful track
Finally someone who doesn’t sleep on Never Let Me Down
Never let me down is GREAT!
@@dyver123Thank you so much it never gets its deserved recognition.
Best song on the album
Kanye's entire discography is an artistic version of his life at the time.
The first 3 albums is Kanye's rise from the rebel outcast in hop hop that nobody believed in ,to becoming the #1 artist in the game by Graduation. I'm not sure if I see as much narrative cohesion from track to track on Kanye's first 3 albums , I feel like back then he focused more on making the best individual tracks and after his mom died his artistic vision became a little more "big picture" creating a character of himself for albums.
808s is the turning point after his mom died and his first fiancé left him.
MBDTF is him going into a Dark Fantasy world of fame and sex after the Taylor Swift VMA backlash, the album starts with Nicki Minaj in a fake British accent "twisted fiction sick addiction " and the album ends with Kanye Lost in the World calling out to Kim after Blame Game his split with Amber Rose.
On Yeezus, Kanye is completely lost in a sex addicted superstar God alter ego Yeezus but that lifestyle tears him apart at the end but he's still holding on to it and Bound 2 closes the album with him meeting Kim and seeing a glimpse of love.
On the The Life of Pablo Kanye has to choose which one, the life for family and God or the life of fame and sex and the album ends with him calling to God for a way out of the nightlife on Saint Pablo.
Ye is the reality of his bipolar nature and trying to define the real Kanye and deal with his past. On the last song Violent Crimes the chorus is says "Reality is upon us, colors dripping off" it's the end of the Dark Fantasy. And Nicki Minaj closes the album with a real voicemail in her normal voice juxtaposed to how she introduces Dark Fantasy in a fake voice.
After the Dark Fantasy is completely over on Ye he finds God again on Jesus Is King.
Donda (the original tracklist) is an underrated masterpiece and from Jail to Come to Life its a basically a journey of how God set him free.
Jail
"Guess who's going to jail tonight? God gonna post my bail tonight "
Come to Life
"God is still alive, so I'm free"
Kanye's discography coincides with his real life because it's all public and all of the media stunts come before album's so his life and his art merge in a way I don't think any artist has done before for an entire career, because Ye is so open and public. He's almost made his life like a movie.
Great video, I'm glad you took the time to do this. Props to you, man 🙂.
Also, 'iced up' from Breathe in Breath out means to be wearing a lot of diamonds.
Thanks man, and thanks for the clarification too!
Im glad i found this channel so i can see you on your journey! Love the full album videos! (Also you dont have to apologize for rambling i think your musical breakdowns mixed with quips on personal or general ideas is great!)
Thanks man! That means a lot - I do have a tendency to yap a bit haha 😆
love your content keep it up g🔥
Thanks man!
you are the best I love when you analysis the instrumentals you really know you stuff
Great video man! Keep it up! It would be so cool to see your journey through his whole discography!
The reason Slow Jamz is credited as Twista’s song is because the song is also on Twista’s album, Kamikaze. They both decided to have the song on both of their albums.
One thing that makes Kanye so important is is diversity of samples. The sample in Never Let Me Down is Michael Bolton’s pro-solo group (forget the name). But he adds on all those layers you mentioned. On the other hand Through the Wire is pretty much just Chaka Khan’s Through the Fire sped up with an OutKast drum beat under it. And that’s just two tracks 🤯
That's pretty sick not gonna lie
cant wait for late registration reaction. watching you from argentina
You just earned a subscriber.
Really liked the reaction! You should check out "My beautiful dark twisted fantasy" if you havent already. It has some of the best production and rapping performances by Kanye
Thanks! I think I've heard like 1 or 2 songs from it, but i'd love to cover the entire thing!
And it has Devil in a new dress!
bedste rap album nogensinde elsker alle sangene og jeg har lyttet til det flere gange
if you like constantly evolving beats and stuff you should DEFINITELY check out childish gambino. In his later stuff he doesn't rap like at all so it's more hiphop/soul/funk. But his 2nd and 3rd album are ones I would recommend for first listeners (He raps in his 2nd album btw)
kanye has always worked with session musicians throughout his career, so you'll always hear live instrumentation
Love the video mate!!
Thanks!
Please do listen to Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale & the big steppers. It's very unique album with very interesting choice of production.
A lot of the backing vocals aren’t always that sometimes they were samples. He reworked which why a lot of ppl say he was a genius
I cant wait for the next album i think its better than tcd.
Late registration is 1000% happening! Planning on doing it after the next upload (which should be up in about 2 days time)
So that is a sped up distored sample of aretha franklin spirit in the dark. She was a part of the production and gave ye premission under the stipulation there where no swear words hence how he edits them out. Please listen to YEEZUS🎉🎉❤
he already did
Love your breakdown and reaction! I would out a strong recommendation for you to start reviewing some Kendrick Lamar albums, Good Kid M.A.A.D City is a good place to start! Lots of depth and lyrical density!!
Thanks man! Next video just so happens to be Good kid maad city ;)

Bro please watch a video on the samples to this album it's going to blow your mind 😅
When you say this type of production style wasn’t signature, it really hurt. This sped up chipmunk soul sample flips were revolutionized by Kanye and he perfected it to a point where you could easily distinguish his beats from everyone elses
Nice reaction, family business is a beautiful song. Please give the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard a try, the album PetroDragonic Apocalypse is amazing heavy metal. They are extremely prolific and have an album for every genre pretty much.
Ahaha what's funny is that you're not the first person to suggest king gizzard and the lizard wizard to me, and I even knew of them beforehand! I'd love to feature them on the channel though!
W reaction, Can you react to What to do? by jackboys? As an instrument enjoyer, I 100% recommend listening to it !
Do, my beautiful dark twisted fantasy next
He’s going in chronological order as he should. Will be a while till mbdtf
You should finish the trilogy now with late reg and then graduation, there all amazing albums
That's exactly the plan haha 😆
@@dyver123 everyone has a different favorite between the three so I’m interested to see yours
I loved that reaction at 11:32 😂💜
Have you ever listened to 808s and heartbreak? If not, I would recommend listening to it. One of my favorite albums from kanye
Not yet, but it is on the list!
You gotta do eternal grey or dark side of the clouds by suicideboys
You’re going to love Late registration. The orchestration is a lot more pronounced in there.
Definitely checking out late registration too!
theres a ton of unreleased songs that kanye made before the college dropout like the Freshman Adjustment EP so he was already known by people
great video! try listening to Come to Life also
Thanks mate!
bro i'm just tryna get into metal so recommend me albums for beginners
You should listen to kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly. Very good production with real drums other instruments.
I 100% wanna check out to pimp a butterfly!
love this
Thanks man! :)
Do every kaye albumn including scraped 😅❤
and also Famiy Business was sampled in 90210 by Travis
Wait really? That's sick!
$UICIDEBOY$ NEW ALBUM pls do album reaction, it deserves it. I think you would like the beats in it
Jay-Z is on Kanyes album because kanye was a producer for Jay-Z and his label thats pretty much the most simple explanation
28:28 Tec-9 is a gun
singing in graduation day is john legend
Kanye’s definitely not the sole inventor of rap singing… but he sure did make it the most popular form of HipHop ever.
Drake, Travis Scott, Tyler the Creator, XXXTentacion, Juice Wrld all took heavy inspiration from Kanye,
And they were the biggest artists of our generation
Thanks for the clarification!
React to Pimp a Butterfly!
You remind me of MrTLexify lol
late registration video when?
Eventually haha - Not sure about the timeframe. Unfortunately doing Kanye videos is always difficult because of copyright issues. So getting a Kanye video out can easily take upwards of 2 weeks just for the copyright to get resolved 😅
I would like to inform everyone here i beat Bael the Dread and Rellana while listening to this video. :D
Good job, man! That's no easy feat haha
I wanna see this guy react to donda
The new workout plan talks about how women feel that the only way to have financial freedom is to 'work out' and get fit so that an already rich man will then get with them. Basically a song about how deep-rooted sexism makes women think the only way to have money is to get with a rich man
That's pretty rad! It's a fun way to portray that message seeing as the song itself seems so funny and lighthearted!
yo you should listen to the new $uicideboy$ album that just dropped “new world depression”
Definitely gonna check it out at some point! But I'm working on another reaction rn ;)
BRO WE HEAR TFCKEN SONG FCKEN LISTEN TO THE SONG
PLEASE DO Good Kid m.A.A.d city
That's the next reaction!
late registration bro
Definitely going to check it out at some point!
bro this one's way way too long. please cut it down a bit...
