shoutout to anyone watching this while the DONDA livestream event is going on. true dedication.
I will be showing my dad Donda, but not yet. I know if I posted a Donda video now it would get a lot of views but I really want to show him the rest of Kanye's discography in chronological order, starting with The College Dropout. I want him to see his evolution over the years and how he reinvents himself every album.
Love this approach. Thank you for being so considered in how you share Kanye's work with your dad. Y'alls conversation about the art is great. Appreciate y'all.
what does your dad do
Thank you for taking this approach, it will give him a much better appreciation in the long run. Great channel, Great content, thank you!
this will be a great reaction run!
This is so awesome man! What a great bonding experience for you and your dad. Might have to do this my old man next time I see him! Looking forwards to the rest of the Kanye discography
No one dad should have all that power.
Love your tutorials lol
When I put records on the shelf, I organise them by record label...
...because I always layer my labels.
21 ceuntry schizod dad
Bruh your AE tutorials are insane... Also I didn't know you were into hip hop reactions lol 😂
hahahahah dammmm
Respect to the dads who actually spends time with their children
Especially as adults, my dad hung out plenty during my youth but as an adult he flakes on me all the time.
respect to the dads who put in effort to take interest in their children's interests
Why lol. That's what a dad is supposed to do
@@ChildishGambeaner
Yes it's what fathers do but these days it's not like that anymore. Some fathers neglect, leave or abuse their kids and it's sad
@@bigmankam hey bro respect to you for not murdering people because there's people out there that kill people. Genius
Devil in a new dress gets better after you listen to it a few times IMO. I didn’t freak out about it the first time I heard it, but now it’s one of my favorites on the album.
I ruined it for myself
I knew this would be my favourite song off the album first time I heard it. So many people saying the song wasn’t anything special or “mind-blowing” like the dad said, but it was for me. I was ascending to heaven.
I just love how Rick Ross says ”I shed a tear before the nights over, god bless the man I put this ice over, huh”
Same the first few times I revisted MBDTF I just thought it was decent with a really nice sample, but when you really sit down and listen to it, it became one of the best put together songs ever to me.
First time I heard it I didn’t even know Rick Ross comes in eventually lol
Doesn't matter what you think about Kanye. You can't deny this is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Fs
they rated it a 6...
Its not even close to the greatest album of all time
@@andrewbishop4447 it’s brilliant and critically acclaimed by a variety of well respected publications.
strebor its good and well respected but not one of the greatest of all time
Other artists have set the bar higher
Do you listen to it because it’s critically acclaimed or because you enjoy the music?
Jordan Peterson has good taste
Taste like lobster
Can you guys please do a for one night only Rock Reacts to MBDTF. Feel like you’d reach any stretch goal you want for that
Lol when Jon Denton agrees you then they are right
He does talk a lot like him.
@@ericlytle2209 it's for the better JD is on his own. I'd rather just solo reactions from him.
I really wish my dad was this open-minded with hip hop
THIS
Onggg
He likes 2pac, Wu-Tang Clan, and a couple others but that’s it
Same :(
@@calebeedude5331 that’s valid u should teach him about MF DOOM
this is kanye’s greatest album. the story behind the album, his mother dying, becoming depressed about that and started heavily drinking, interrupting taylor at the VMA’s, hitting rock bottom completely, he then goes MIA for 1 1/2 years, going to japan to clear his head, rome to try and take up fashion but ended up not because he was so fascinated by the musical art and history of rome, to then ending up in hawaii where he would spend months working on songs to perfection, spending days in the studio just looking for samples, while getting stars to feature on his songs. truly the greatest comeback story in hip hop, maybe even all time.
honestly now would be a good time for him to make another mbdtf but i guess hes too far gone to see where hes been in the wrong
@@nbshftrhe’s definitely not too far gone if he has God in his life truly then he will make a comeback. I feel like what he said last year was terrible but he was just so lost and struggling at the time he was just saying shit. He didn’t mean it and he’s not antisemitic hope he does
@@alex24809 I truly believe he had others with dark intentions take advantage of his situation, I hope that he realizes that he has followed a dark path and comes back to the light.
@@HenryVarn agreed
But the thing is, that album reflects his situation about him today
There is no denying the masterpiece that is Runaway.
Outro ruined it imo
@@bigwalrus3901 the outro describes how Kanye wants to say something but it doesn't make sense(The way the media treats portrays him. ) but we know it's the same lyrics from the first part of the song.
@@anu12332 yeah, i get that but musically its just not for me
@@bigwalrus3901 you must not get into the song enough then. I feel like the vocoder (or whatever he uses) adds more feeling to the song. It’s Ike his voice was an example of horns playing in the same tune as the chorus of the song. He took the words out of his voice but still left the sound and melody. Imo it’s quite cool to hear
@@ramzicastilleja3268 i don’t want to hear that in my ear for 2 minutes. Sounds like someone screaming in a shitty mic
The best thing about MBDTF is that Kanye basically made it out of spite for everyone begging him to make something less experimental and more “Kanye.” So he basically created his masterpiece/piece de resistance/magnum opus to shut people up that were hating on 808s. He created one of the greatest albums of all time out of pettiness. THAT is Kanye West in a nutshell.
He states that he doesn’t really like this album because it’s supposed to be an apology to get on the good graces of the public.
@@DDub04 that’s cap he said nothing can ever top it
@@crobias both can be true. he personally doesnt like it because he made it out of spite just because he knew he could make something everyone would love, but he personally enjoys his other projects more or may think they are more interesting, complex and/or compelling
@Darby Hattaway very Ye in essence
Ye admitted that mbdtf was an album that had to be a hit or his career would end because of the Taylor Swift scandal.
To answer your dad’s question, Kanye is not the first person to sample. Hip Hop is built on sampling and is how the genre came about. However Kanye is an ELITE sampler and overall producer.
I think he meant the first to make progressive hiphop. Before Kanye there was never this level of production
@@saaw8344 ah that makes more sense, however what you said is not true lol. Kanye has done a lot and there are things that he was the front runner for and he led the way for however to say there was never that level of production before him is just misinformation. We’re not gonna pretend Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Dre, Organized Noize, RZA, etc. just didn’t exist and weren’t making potent and high level produced songs before Kanye lol
@@madebymali6758 those are great producers but they never made progressive hiphop. Is what I mean, Mbdtf song structures had never been done before in hiphop before this album. And the amount of layering of vocals and instruments was unheard of in hiphop beforehand… the producers you named made really dope beats. But mbdtf didn’t just have beats. It had gigantic pieces of music with multi phased songs, not just beats with 4x4 time signature and just verse, chorus, verse, chorus then fade out
@@saaw8344 again I’ll have to disagree. MBDTF was a masterpiece, but I think it’s being overinflated as far as what it was musically. If anything 808’s & Heartbreak was much more innovative musically. I think there’s a bit of revisionist history happening here. The reason MBDTF got so much praise is because of the maximalist production, the features, & what was going on with Kanye outside of the music. But this was not the first time in rap that song structures were experimented with or any of what you listed. None of that was brand new with MBDTF. It was just executed extremely well.
@@madebymali6758 not trying to argue. But can u tell me some progressive hiphop before 2010 when this came out.. I’ve never heard anything prior to this in the hiphop genre
i love his appreciation for nicki’s verse on monster. that verse is legendary. the whole song is but damn it’s incredible.
Honestly, as someone who has never really bought into Nicki… that verse is probably the best one on the song and as you said, it’s a damn good song regardless but she takes the energy to another level
Wasn’t actually her real verse, Kanye cut it so it flowed better
it’s the best verse on the entire album and it launched nicki into being the female goat without even having an album
@@kh0357 ok buddy. The verse is very good but not the best on the album
@@realmaximouse of the album as kayne Said
I think Devil In a New Dress truly comes into its own on repeat listens, I think it is just genuine music perfection. There is not a single flaw in the song.
booba
BOOBA
BoObA
Agreed
Yeah, very, very surprising to me that Devil in a New Dress wasn't given more credit.
When you hit 100K you've got to do a "SON REACTS" where your dad picks an album you've never heard.
Edit: Looks like you made it 👀👀
It’ll probably be a Steely Dan or Paul McCartney album or something like that
@@xXcangjieXx Steely Dan hits different
doing the beatles would be great
No, Pink Floyd
Oooo
Devil in a new Dress is an underrated masterpiece.
My thoughts exactly. This album is a masterpiece hard to pick a favorite song.
How underrated when most people think it’s the best song on the album especially with Ross best verse
Best song on the album for me is runaway but devil in a new dress is a top 5 beat off all time for me. Such a smooth beat.
my favoruite!
So true
Him saying devil in a new dress was “ok” sunk my heart😂😂
Its the most overrated song on the albumn

Please share Frank Ocean's "Blonde" with your father. His reaction to MBDTF and TPAB makes me believe he would be blown away by vocals and production of that album. You guys are making me fall in love with these albums all over again.
Start him off with channel orange or even nostalgia ultra.
O yeah!!
Blonde 🙏🏼
Start with Channel Orange for sure. Amazing what he did at so young
Please make this happen. Im scouring every corner of the internet for people's first reaction to blonde. Lol
The fact that you guys wore the suits like how Kanye had everyone wearing suits while recording is genius, y’all earned a new sub 🫡😂
The way his dad now views Kanye is how everyone should. He admits and accepts there’s a lot of controversy, yes maybe he isn’t the greatest person, he is flawed as a human. But his writing, performing and production skills are so next level, so revolutionary that it doesn’t matter who you are you can’t help but respect a man who has given up all possibilities of a drama free, media free, judgement free life for the sake of something he cares about
Exactly seperate art from artist, especially at this moment I’m not the biggest fan of him as a person but I can recognise that he has made some of the greatest music not just of the 21st century but of all time and is one of the most influential artists ever, he’s creativity is unmatched and he’s always made high quality stuff, I’ve always loved his music and the person isn’t going to change that for me.
@@Prodbyjah464 i would never do that but thats just me 🤷♂️
@@Sammyconray and that’s completely understandable, I just think that the music itself and the person who made it can be differentiated, especially since he made alot of his music at different points in his life, I don’t think college dropout era Kanye would ever think of saying the stuff he’s said.
@@Sammyconray he compares himself to Pablo Picasso, which is actually an accurate comparison.
Pablo was not the best person 💀
He had lots and lots of controversy, especially with women. But even with his art, he still had controversy because his art was "ugly" but that doesn't stop the critics and the art teachers of today from praising him.
It seems stupid that some music artist would compare himself to a legendary painter but his comparison with Pablo is undeniably accurate
Omfg that was the best opinion/description of Kanye ever
coming fresh off donda, i don’t think kanye can ever outdo mbdtf. it’s just too perfect
Absolutely. Heard Donda this morning. The MBTDF album is still art, in a way I think very few albums ever get to. By anyone.
Its his Magnum Opus period.
I enjoyed donda, not gonna lie i think its a really good album, but for me mbdtf, 808s and tlop are definetely his best projects (for me)
@@teodordanes5723 Yea I'll give it some time before I judge Donda for sure. But I think mbdtf is clearly one of the best albums of it's +-5 years
Yeah, I think most rappers albums can’t beat MBDTF, a lot of rappers have praised MBDTF as one of the greatest rap albums of all time, and have considered the album as a model for what a rap album should aspire to be. Personally my favorite Kanye album is Graduation, but I have to give praise and credit where it’s due.
Your dad would be 100% more impressed if he knew Jay-Z actually does not write his lyrics. He listens to the beats in the studio and rhymes in his head. Then goes in the booth and spits his lyrics off the top of his head. Hasn't written lyrics to a song in over 25 years. The double and triple entendres, the homophones, the use of syncopation, the cadences, the usage of different flows...all from the top of his head, and into a plethora of classic Hip Hop songs. Incredible.
the last time he did was probably Buggin from the Space Jam soundtrack, which he only wrote.
That explains his crappy lyrics
@@jacobm1639 😂😂😂 Riiiiiiight.
cake - cake cake cake cake cake 500 million i got a pound cake
Which is why even Nicki Minaj eclipses him in this. Rapping on a track called "Monster" and all he does is... list monsters.
"What's worst, the pain or to hangover"
That line from dark fantasy went over alot of people's heads.
@Salem Gasmask the plan was to drink untill the pains over, but whats worst, the pain or to hangover."
On one end He's talking about using achol to take the pain away, however in reality.. the pain will still exist after the intoxication.
On the other hand, when he says..
"whats worst, the pain or to hang over"... he's contemplating Which is worst?... committing suicide or dealing with pain.
@Salem Gasmask the full line includes ye saying that his plan was to drink until the pains over, basically saying that he’s at a low point contemplating suicide and he wants to numb himself by drinking. then he questions it with “what’s worse the pain or the hangover?” asking himself if the pain hurts worse aka he should commit suicide or if the pain is worse the next day aka the hangover after drinking, basically saying that continuing on living life after the “hangover” could be a greater pain. not sure if i described this with the right words
@Salem Gasmask yare yare
he was also drinking the night of the Taylor accident, almost a full Hennessy bottle. we can assume hw was still drinking over the death of his mom, so the question could also be what's worse the pain or the fallout from Taylor shit
@@briebrie2538 much better than i did
I still remember my first time listening to this album. Driving some shitty car on my way home from high school, had the aux cord plugged in to my iPod nano. The mood of the album matched the time of the year perfectly it was cold outside snow on the ground. Then that beat dropped on dark fantasy...
And the rest is history ✨
Absolutely man. Fall - Winter of 2010 was such an amazing time for music. MBDTF, Friday Night Lights by J. Cole, and Overly Dedicated by Kendrick all dropped around that time. I was a senior in high school, and I honestly don't think I'll ever get to relive a music experience like that again.
@@Elias.1055 also t.i. no mercy around that same time
Broo the Ipod Nano 😭🙌
i was on bus going to the first day to the college
man that was a unique experience, i have goosebumps every time i remember
Damn I love the commitment to wearing the suits. Really going the extra mile to elevate the reaction vids
Was looking for this comment! it’s a nice little detail
might also be a nod to how kanye made all his features and people working on the album wear a suit when in the studio working on this album
Absolute class😌😌
I love this album but 808s is also incredible that’s just my opinion though 🤷🏻♂️
@@Paydro787 why u acting like only one of Ye’s albums can be incredible? They’re all incredible in their own way
Big shoutout to Mike Dean for absolutely killing "Devil In a New Dress" with that guitar.
I just learnt that was him - so sick.
dudes a legend!
Mike da goat
Mike no longer in the basement
It’s a shame he and B!nk fell out over that beat. His guitar solo was a great touch to a phenomenal beat.
No other album has impacted my life like MBDTF. The first time I listened to it was on January first of 2011, I was on the bus going to my hometown after my ex and I broke up, a 5 years relationship. The album was the perfect soundtrack on how I was feeling, beautiful, dark and twisted indeed.
okay?

Fun fact nicki wrote her verse under 20 minutes and when Kanye heard it he almost didn’t want to include it from how good it was and jay z actually went back and re wrote his verse.
but hov still managed to make the worst verse on the album 💀
No she didn't 🤣
she rewrote it 3 times idk where you got that info from
@@brodyz1232 yeah no she wrote 3 different verses in the span of a week and that specific verse under 20. And had to fight and beg Kanye for a whole month for him to not remove her verse from the song.
I clicked this not expecting to watch this whole video. But here I am. You’re dad has some swag.
Haha same here too wasn’t even subscribed but now i am
Your*
Same dude, same.
Wait this was an hour?
This is, imo, the best hip-hop album of all time. Crazy maximalist production, layers upon layers of guest work and interesting musicality, and tackling fame and nihilism in a completely unique way. Feels like Kanye snuck us to a black tie affair we weren’t supposed to be at.
Tpab
yuup
@@dwaynekeenum1916 tpab has better lyrics mbdtf has better production/instrumentals
@@ahhhhyes I mean this album still has amazing and sometimes funny lyrics, not as good as TPAB but gotta give it credit
Runaway's 30-minute music video is also amazing. Kanye's artwork is really cool.
Monster is so underrated for it's production, those verses could have just been any other rap song but Kanye made this song into a haunting and in your face song.

Love this channel. My dad showed me and my brother rap as kids so he had got us in to Kanye but we took over the discovery of rap for him when we got older. Will never forget him texting us a year or so after my grandmother passed away saying he was sitting on the beach tearing up listening to Donda, after telling him how good it is for days. Kanye is forever my goat .
that’s really beautiful man. my dad grew me and my brother up on rap too & showed us kanye. it’s something we can still connect with & talk about today, i’m grateful for it.
Based on his reactions 22, A Million - Bon Iver and Blonde - Frank Ocean should get in the rotation for sure. Incredible production/experimentation/song structures I’m sure he’d appreciate.

Hands down best hip-hop album of all time, everything is amazing. It’s not just a basic hip-hop album, it has unbelievable production, diversity with the artists and music used, it’s so unique. Some of the songs feel like movies themselves, the first time I heard this I was thinking, “how has this man just created this masterpiece”, I only started listening to Kanye about 3 years ago and listening to all of his albums this stands out at the top.

Kudos to you for showing your dad the best of music mate. Truly glad to stumble upon this channel.
I heard this for the first time last night. This will be the 4th time I've listened to it in 8 hours.
13 Tracks without ANY duds. I really thought that was impossible. I love his use of King Crimson, Iron Man & Gil Scott-Heron. The Drum-Programming is INSANE. It's probably the best produced album I've ever heard. I can't wait to get it through my studio monitors and hear EVERYTHING. My headphones aren't honest enough to hear the detail & do it justice. I could listen to it on repeat for days, which is so unlike me. It just has ALL the Beats, Hooks & Grooves you could ever need with some incredible vocals. Most of which sound completely natural barring some creative auto-tuning but nothing too much. The Rawness of vocals sell this so well. Dynamically it's absolute perfection.
I'm 50 years old & from the UK. I can't wait to see what it does to this fella's noggin.
respect to you Mr. Simon!
you love to hear it

One of the best albums I’ve ever heard. Kanye himself said they put about 5000 hours into POWER alone. Might be an exaggeration, but the song did go through a ton of rewrites and edits. This album is historic.
Yeah that’s definitely an exaggeration
5000 hours is 208 days, it's an exaggeration.
@@campbell686 5000 man hours, a lot of people worked on that song, it’s not like he was recording it for 5000 hours

Fun fact: whenever he talks about a girl it’s actually a metaphor for his relationship with fame
What about when he's talking about bleached assholes?
@@dddgtsd that’s on The Life of Pablo. It’s also just about models with bleached assholes
Not fully, he's also talking about Amber rose also, they had a off and on relationship at the time

I am so so happy I found this channel. Makes me wanna show my favorite music to my family. Music is meant to be shared. Thank you so much for sharing.

Incredible that your dad can listen to a whole kanye album and comprehend its concept. My parents label every hip hop/rap music as "thug" music when i try to put them on to it. I love it and grew up on it . From the flow, to the lyrics, the beats, its just beautiful art
racism
@Jen Psaki … I don’t even know where to start
@Jen Psaki it’s a genre, many rappers don’t present themselves as thugs lmao
@Jen Psaki I’m familiar with the genre, Jen. But LOTS or MOST does not mean all.
@Jen Psaki yeah, cos of racism 😭 if they're not familiar with rap, then labelling it all thuggish is still a vast generalisation heavily rooted in racism 💀 if they don't know much about rap, they should shut up. Don't try to justify untrue shit
This is where it all started. You and your dad have come far with your channel, love your content and love the chemistry you guys have!
shut up loser
@@bigdickrandy9289 what
Please redo this one. Your dads appreciation of Kanye is awesome. Now he would understand it all so much more
It's amazing to see that every single person that listen to Nicki's verse be amazed and surprised. One of the best guest verses ever.
EVER!
The only rapper to ever body Jay and Ye on the same track! Let's talk about this more!
Crazy that this album had Rick Ross' best verse ever, and Nicki's. As features!!!
She had the best verse on the best song on the best album of the last 20 years.
The only time she outshine her own ass 🤣
Love the dress code. Fun fact about the production of this album: Kanye required everyone who worked on this album to come to the studio in a full tuxedo
Fr????? That's sick
i was going to give a like but 420
@@kanyenpc yea
Coming back to this just to relive the album. Congrats on 1Million Views!
Kanye’s rapping during “dark fantasy” is one of my favorite Kanye moments from a song
currently 20 years old, and my dad would jam this album non stop when i was about 11/12 years old in our car rides, so this one hits different. great reaction!
Hey Guess what My birthday is August 4th, 2001 and couldnt relate more too this comment bro 🥲
Tyler H Damn!!! July 28th, 2001 here.... that’s insane bro
@@xaviierm9332 yuppp😭
Awww. I'm 40 years old but I was 20 years old when you were born and i will never forget that year. AAliyah passed away in august 2001 and The World trade Center buildings collapsed that September of 2001.. also You and Tyler are Leo's just like me my bday is July 25th LOL. enjoy your youth boys!
W DAD i wish my parents liked kanye
I honestly feel like Devil in a new dress is arguably the best song on this album.
not arguably, it just is
my second favorite after Lost In The World
agree
There's legitimate arguments for like 5 or 6 of them being the best, which is what makes the album so incredible
All of the lights, devil in a new dress, and gorgeous are my favorite
You two remind me of me and my dads relationship, (especially) when i was a teenager (Im heavily into a lot of the artists on the channel). We used to share a lot of music from our respective eras, and both learned a lot. Unfortunately he is now terribly ill with Parkinsons, had brain surgery and is heavily medicated and therefore dont always understand whats going on in the real world. However whenever i play him a new beautiful piece of music : he still has strong reactions; sometimes he is crying his eyes out, sometimes he is laughing like a maniac, sometimes i can just see his arms covered in goosebumps or he will start moving like a maniac like Kevin does in your videos. His love for real music is still within him under layers of illness. Thank you for sharing these - they are great. And more importantly enjoy your time together while you still can.
I hope your dad is still okay bro 🙏
Wow this is a gift … this podcast has me feeling & listening like this is my first time ever experiencing this album. Incredible. I haven’t *listened* like this, as I have listening along with you and your Pop 🤘🏼
its dope that he genuinely likes and and is giving thoughtful feedback ... he knows music
Fuck I’m getting chills on every track even though I’ve heard this album a hundred times. What a masterpiece and glad your dad appreciated it as much - truly a multi generational piece of art
Goat album IMO
Craving for the full length version of this!!
This has got to be a great bonding experience. This whole concept is precious and I'm glad we can see this ❤️
Wow. Little sad he didn’t appreciate devil in a new dress. Might be one of the best produced songs on the album
Top 5 Kanye
Was the song I was most hyped to hear his reaction 😭
“Devil in a New Dress” and “White Dress” are both GOAT status Kanye tracks. I can’t wait for the third entry in his “Dress” series
facts, top tier kanye
@@KakuzuofNorth same I was so disappointed
Wow... When Nicki Minaj verse came on in Monster, which is one of if not the greatest verse of all time according to me... Made me so happy when Dad liked it, gave me goosebumps and water in my eyes.
Bro listen to 90s hiphop if you think that is one of the best verses of all time..
@@stellar1252 still one of the best all time verses of the 2010s
@@peachica yeah, I ain't hating. I do think it's top 10 of the 2010s fasho
@@stellar1252 👍 but I agree that 90s rap goes crazy. golden age for sure
Everytime i listen to this verse, it’s just crazy to me why the comparing her to Cardi B? It’s not even close
I like how y'all kept to the theme with the attire designated by Kanye for the recording sessions of the album. This album is his magnum opus and it sounds very luxurious and opulent. The black tuxedos fit very well as the official album dress code. Everyone who contributed to this album made up what I call the MBDTF Mafia :)
It's so great coming back to this after watching the Yeezus reaction and seeing how much more talkative and out of his shell Kevin has gotten. You can really tell they both have gotten so much more comfortable in front of the camera
It’s awesome that you guys wore suits for this reaction. For whoever doesn’t know, Kanye required EVERYONE working on this album(and everyone had to come to his studio in I think Hawaii) to wear a suit and tie. Very cool homage
That's so cool but why tf 😭
@@salemisjuucy professionalism
@@salemisjuucy watch the making of MBDTF on youtube it goes way in depth into the creative process and reasoning behind it
@@salemisjuucy because he wanted to set a mood, it was like a uniform. the music making process of this album was pretty structured, kinda like camp. they woke up every morning together, had breakfast and discussed their goals for the day, exercised, etc so makes sense he’d make everyone wear sumn specific
seems like your Dad really likes Mike Dean produced/orchestrated songs, should show him more of his stuff.
There wasn't anyone else involved in the album production side?
@@nickangelpadilla I mean, Kanye lol
@@nickangelpadillaFew other producers but Mike Dean is mainly responsible for the sick guitar solos, synths and even mixing the album.
@@disco165135 Kanye owes a lot to Mike Dean for his post LR body of work. I don’t even think he would have the same career path without him.
Showing someone close your music is probably one of the best feelings! I wish I could dissect this type of music with my father but he doesn't speak English that well. I'm glad we connect with other genres of music though. Love the vids bro.
This is my absolutely favorite Kanye album. This is the only rap album i own on vinyl because the musicality and levels blow me every single time!
Oh...?
If you listen to Kanye's albums there's always a theme and an emotion he's expressing since clearly he's not best at doing it conversationally.
College Dropout and Late Registration are albums full of ambition and telling the world who he is. So ambitious that he was willing to rap with his mouth wired shut after the car crash that almost killed him.
Graduation was literally inspired by him watching Coldplay and U2 concerts, that made him want to make stadium music/anthems like they do. He even featured Chris Martin on the album. This was where he really separated himself from everything else in rap because production wise, we'd never heard anything like that in 2007.
From this point onto today is where it gets interesting because he continues that theme of stadium/concert quality music but the ambition is now gone and replaced with having a love/hate relationship with the spotlight he wanted. Especially while he's suffering in his personal life.
808s & Heartbreak literally speaks to that. But even in that you have songs like Love Lockdown and Paranoid with this larger than life instrumentation that once again, was so new and different to hip hop in 2008.
MBDTF is a culmation of elements from all the previous albums but still innovative. The theme is literally his relationship with fame. The opening line to Dark Fantasy gives you the clue: "I fantasized bout this back in Chicago". Then later on in the same song tells you what fame ended up doing to him "the plan was to drink until the pain's over. But what's worse, the pain or the hangover?"
Lost in the World describes it best though, he's using a girl as a metaphor for fame. He loves how fun it is to have what you want, he loves that he can show the world his talents and use the platform to say what he feels BUT he hates that he can't have any real privacy while dealing with things. He hates that the music business plays politics (hence why he felt compelled to interrupt Taylor Swift). Paparazzi was more prevalent then and literally would hound him to the point he attacked one. He admits in a freestyle around this time "I sold my soul to the devil, it was a crappy deal. At least it came with some toys like a Happy Meal".
A lot was going on, and has since then. And it's all been in the public's eye. And for all his bravado, it's really an armor to cover he's actually sensitive. Hence why now his priorities are his family and his faith.
His life has really been like a storybook.
The way you broke that down was superb 👏🏽
I want to cry thinking about how little I’ve listened to this over the years. It was the album of my college years. Man the memories. Thank you.
Timeless album man
Same here man. Brings tears to my eyes thinking about this album during those moments
Same here. I made it a point to do a full listen once a year
Yeah man so many times listening to this back in college. I had such an apathetic opinion of Kanye from his earlier stuff from the early 00's and then one night a grad student was like "Kanye isn't just Golddigger and pop stuff he's legit man" and put me onto this album.
Since then I've really gone back and appreciated his earlier stuff, but I was more a 50-cent kinda guy back in hghschool.
your dad is like the dad i never had man, love you both.
Same
This series is so great. There’s something extra special about having his dad hear it for the first time, you’re going along for the ride that you first heard when you listen along
Play him YEEZUS just for the contrast and evolution just from MBDTF to that.
Factssssss
Indeed the album that had to grow on literally everyone
@@kidactive15 Opposite for me, Yeezus was an S tier record the second I heard it (love experimental/EDM influence in general), whereas MBDTF it took me years to really get the acclaim
Watch the Throne came between.
@@monfernova same
Honestly this album is one of if not the GOAT. Consistency thematically and production wise. Really paints a such a vivid image.
It’s up there but it’s not the GOAT

Rewatching this in 2024 and it's crazy to hear you guys reference your 17k subscribers at the time, keep up the good work that 650k will be 1M in no time with the work you guys put in
I have a deep emotional connection to all of the lights and flashing lights
they are phenomenal
If older generations of other culture were this open to Hiphop a lot of perspectives would change. There's great music to experience if they gave it a chance.
Kanye is in a class of his own on this album tho.
Tbf, I understand why it’s hard for people in other cultures to appreciate hip hop. The origin of hip hop was struggling with poverty, gang violence, and racism in America. It’s a very specific perspective. It’s obviously expanded over time, but I get it.
this album transcends hip hop imo, if you have to pick a genre its hip hop but it heavily pulls influences from rock and orchestra even
I swear all dads love Kid Cudi. Please play him a Cudi album. My dad absolutely is obsessed with Cudi and this song. He would love it!
Man On The Moon for suuuure, he'll be hooked
Or, even Kids See Ghosts since it's more recent and closer to their current artistry.
Can we all agree Dark Fantasy is one of the best intros ever?
not even the best Kanye opener, imo

Such a good vídeo brooo🇲🇽🇲🇽
rip your dad
His dad talking about Runaway being done live and audience that would sing along the pre-chorus. I'd love for him to see the videos of people going wild only hearing the first iconic note
This here lol the concerts were insane on that piano drop 😮💨
Runaway live was INSANE.
I was hoping bro would mention that honestly, just one C note has the entire audience screaming. Truly powerful
I think one cool thing Kanye does that your dad mentions is the distortion on Kanye's voice. Especially in Dark Fantasy and Runaway, he uses his voice as an instrument and kind of to contrast with the distorted guitar. This album is so fucking fire. I love this album so much.
And Gorgeous. I fucking love those effects
Its the coolest on Gorgeous because it is completely distortedbthere
He's singing into a vocoder. A machine that blends the human voice with the instrument's. ELO popularised the effect in the 70s & 80s.
@@BevisFriend2010 do you know how to replicate that effect ?
@@calvitienonbinaire6023 You can do it with a number of machines. I'd probably go with a MicroKorg XL+ on one of the Vocoder settings through a Dr Scientist 'Bitquest' pedal. There's a Fuzzy Bit-crushing thing going on in there as well as the vocoding. (the effect similar to humming on a comb with tracing paper.) The keyboard filters & dictates the pitch detail, the Fuzz & Bit-crushing provide the buzzy texture. There is more than likely additional pitch quantizing post production. There is on most modern pop vocals. It produces that gargled programmable step in pitch. (think Cher 'Do you Believe' or DJ Khaled)
I'm outside in the heat and got chills seeing your dad get excited with nickis verse in monster! Yes!!
Looking at this now its crazy how far dad has come! A true living legend!
