i love how bob reads the lyrics like he’s reading a childrens book to a group of 1st graders
Hahaha yes
kids read books
@@carstarsarstenstesenn -sometimes, kids read books sometimes
Yeah, I started doing that recently... and I don't know why. Exmilitary really made me stop and read to try and figure out what the hell I was hearing, and now it stuck? I dunno. Maybe Death Grips just broke my brain.
@@bobthepoppop You would not be the first one to have your brain broken by Death Grips.
I'm kinda sad a collab like this will never happen again but it makes me appreciate it more than I would if we got a sequel
I mean it might. Not like friends don't have issues or "breakups" sometimes
@@gotworc if Kanye can make up with Drake, no doubt in my mind he’ll make up with Cudi
@@gotworc true but this like they’re 5th break up😭
@@gotworc honestly if I was cudi I would be INCREDIBLY hesitant to forgive Ye
Don't worry, they'll prob make another album in 2032.
4th Dimension is one of the best sample flips of all time. The beat just goes so damn hard
Fax
Those drums r crazy
Such an insane sample flip
The cover is done by Takashi Murakami, amazing japanese artist and he also did the design for Gradutaion, its honestly a work of art and on the level of this album
I'm a massive Kanye fan but didn't know that! Thanks for sharing, now it makes sense why those two are my favorite album covers by far.
The cover is cool
didn’t he also do the cover of 808’s and Heartbreak?
@@masonhoover165 naw that’s kaws who worked with murakami before
I fucking ADORE how, from Reborn to Cudi Montage, Ye is, truly, at one of his peaks as a writer, bringing to those tracks a handful of his best verses of his carreer, in my opinion.
completely agree
@@turningthetables why are YOU here?!? haha love the vids
they actually wanted to submit Freee to the grammys as best rock song just a fun fact lol
They should have!
Something about Reborn, during the bridge the vocals go out and then the music slowly builds up and Cudi comes back in is so beautiful
Yeah, I really like that part too :)
Dont know if you know it or not but by the way the guitars off the end of Fire and Cudi Montage are unreleased recordings off Kurt Cobain's home studio shortly before he died, just snippets that Kanye and Cudi convinced his mother to let them use for the album, Cudi is a huge Nirvana and Cobain fan and just like Ghost Town they're using snippets of the girls demos on a huge album their intention was to give these Kurt recording their time to shine and headline a fantastic album
I did not know, thanks for the tidbit!
Just like Ghost Town?
This album is one of Kanye's most experimental projects not in that it sounds left field or avant-garde but because it is a sound that had never been done before similar to 808s. Kid Cudi and Ye tasked themselves to do an album about mental health for the kids inspired by rock and psychedelic music. Btw Cudi Montage is a Nirvana Sample Cudi's favourite group, thats why hes marked as a producer even though he usually doesn't produce.
Cudi does produce. He produced most of his third album, Indicud
@Bruda Osas just so wrong lmao
@Bruda Osas indicud is cudis most under appreciated album
@@swimsvg1855 Ong that shit so underrated
"an album about mental health for the kids"
"She said I'm in the wrong hole I said I'm lost uh uh"
yasiin bey, also known as mos def, made two of the best hip-hop albums of all time in my opinion, "mos def and talib kewli are black star" and "black on both sides". consider reacting to them some time!
talib kewli 😎
And the ecstatic
@@jjboros7576 Ecstatic most underrated hip hop album of all time
Definitely need some mos def reactions
yes black on both sides please
Reborn is my favorite song of all time, and this album as a whole is one of my favorite of all time as well. So glad you like it Bob.
Reborn is amazing
The Allan Watts parable was an amazing attachment to the reaction of Reborn, definitely gave the song more meaning.
I didn’t even know that was Alan watts. He talks slower usually lol
The curt cobain sample on Cudi montage is haunting, really ties into the theme of ghosts
as a rocker it makes a lot of sense you would prefer this album to ‘ye’ as the instrumentals are more rock influenced. i agree also as the production on this album is immaculate imo.
Kids See Ghosts is actually my favorite album of all time, super excited to see this!
really? thats kinda out there
@@burritogamer3984 imagine judging another guy’s favorite album. Mf the music monitor
@@burritogamer3984 yeah, every song is a 10/10 for me and it hits hard personally on an emotional level. It's also short which is great, I always find myself coming back to this album as a whole quite often which I don't usually do.
@@aidcallahan its just a bit offputting thats all. they explained anyways
@@burritogamer3984 my best advice to you would be to stop commenting.
This album is healing man...incredible piece of work 🙏
This album helped me a lot through my mental health poblems, Ye and Cudi have a special place in my heart for this
Completely agree
I also get very emotional listening to Reborn, every time I hear it I feel like I can suddenly breathe again after feeling anxiety for what feels like forever, and hearing “keep moving forward” repeatedly just somehow gets to me and makes me want to do exactly that
My fav song
god protect this comment section from burrito gamer ✨
amen
i am here. dread it run from it destiny still arrives
@@burritogamer3984 Get a job
KIDS SEE GHOSTS might be my favorite album of all time, if not it’s damn near close.
it’s just had such a huge impact on my outlook on life and my own struggles with mental health. it’s also a fucking rager of an album with killer music and lyrics
Not to be a shit head but can you elaborate? Pretty out there take for best album of all time.
same
@@jennifer008 by no means am i calling it the greatest album of all time lol, that’s why i say *my* favorite album. just a personal favorite because of its emotional significance to me
I hold the best memories of summer 2018 with this album
@@jennifer008 its just some random guys opinion, I have my own weird takes too
Reborn is an anthem for mental health. Kept me sane for a while
One of the most important pieces in Kanyes discography. The great production and important subject matter in such a dense and compact project. Definitely a must listen!
This was such a crazy month as a Kanye fan. I'm really glad you enjoyed these. This, Daytona, and KTSE played nonstop in my car for a long time.
10/10 album, no flaws let’s be real
much respect for doing these three & uploading em in one day!
Really appreciate the points you made in your closing statement. It’s really good to hear those things and to be reminded that life is a rollercoaster, that even when it goes down it’ll eventually come back up. Thank you for your time, good shit.
One song I love that helps keep the idea in my mind is 'Momma Sed' by Puscifer.
Added to the playlist ✅ just listened to it, really interested in some of the guitar melodies. Also the message of taking it on the chin. First song I’ve heard from them too so thank you for the recommendation 🔥
Man i was waiting this reaction for so long, I think you're the best reacting to this, you always enjoy the music and understand it and that's cool
Hearing your perspective on these albums (and especially this one) is so enjoyable. It is always so wise and from a place that makes me think harder about what makes music so great.
Love the message in the end man keep up the good work! I really enjoy your content.
Yooo I recently listened to this album last month for the very first time. I loved the intro, Kid Cudi, Ye, and Pusha T. This album resonates with my soul, mentally and spiritually. I LOVED every track of it. I love the Japanese aesthetic print made by none other than Takashi Murakami. Love everything about this album.
Ty Dolla Sign is on Freeee. I think you’ve mixed him up with Pusha T
@@R-H-B he meant Feel The Love
Loved the monk story. I was in the aftermath of an argument when I watched this so that story really made me just drop the entire thing. Thanks bob
Just a cool tidbit, the guitar on Cudi montage is actually Kurt Cobain from his track called "Burn the Rain". It's a subtle nod that really adds to the messages on this album in a symbolic way.
Thanks for this and TLOP review. You brought these amazing albums to my attention and I really enjoy your analysis. You give me a much greater appreciation for the message in the work.
It's funny when you review Cudi because your artwork in the background ALWAYS reminded me of his man on the moon album art.
Yeah, I see that comment fairly often :)
This is my favorite album of all time, I’m so glad you finally reviewed it AND loved it🙏 this album single handedly kept me sane and “moving forward” for the past 2 years ever since I found it
boutta binge all of these. THANK YOU!!!
just skip the Ye reaction not worth your time as bob hated it
@@burritogamer3984 good troll
@@super6070 he’s not a troll Bob didn’t like it
@@sv4940 I’m watching the reaction right now and just because he is conflicted with the beats doesn’t mean he “hates it” lol. Also why would that be a reason to skip a reaction
Andre 3000 played the flute and that little guitar outro on Fire!
touching up on Free (Ghost town pt 2), I know you said like "Oh we already heard this in the other context", i think what makes this a stark contrast to the original is how it's the flipside of the coin of this dangerous thinking. Ghost Town pt 1 is such a beautiful uplifiting song about letting go so much that you feel literally invincible, you're not letting anyone bother you anymore, your choosing to free yourself from all of the things weighing you down... however I think pt 2 is the flipside of that, and how dangerous that thinking actually is. It has a very... almost creepy vibe to it in this version, more disorienting with the aggressive almost detuned distorted guitar in the instrumental. When you feel like that, you can get yourself killed... it's a very dangerous state of mind to be in, to think your unstoppable, when youre definitely not. I always call this song the moment after you actually put your hand on the stove... it's self destructive and will get you to horrible places if not careful. Anyways, yeah just thought I would add that, because I think thats my favorite thing about the song :)
I like this idea quite a bit
So glad you finally did this one!
Been waiting on this for sooooo long! Commenting pre-video: think you’re gunna effing love it
This is one of my favourite albums. It’s short but every song is amazing (reborn being one of my favourite songs of all time). Glad you finally got to listen to it. I would also love to see you react to either colouring book or acid rap by chance the rapper
12:13 I’m pretty sure the reverse is simply because it sounds better than the originals sample progression, I don’t think it has a deeper meaning
Been waiting for this one outta them all
Thank you, Bob. I have patiently been waiting
I just wish we had a KIDS SEE GHOSTS tour, and have them perform their collab songs as well from previous albums 🥲🥲
They actually did I believe or at least a set they did
@@chriscon2276 they did do a set at Camp Flog Gnaw 2018
@@poison1356 lucky people who were there
@@Dupylo I’m not sure if memory serves well, but the performance was trash
@@super6070 umm no it was legendary, literally iconic u got fan art of them in that cube everywhere
been waiting for this! nice!
Reborn is honestly a top tier hip hop song of all time.
I just bought Kids See Ghosts vinyl as my first vinyl ever! Glad to see your reaction.
I love this record so much I own the cd and the vinyl so happy you’re reacting to it
4th Dimension & Reborn were my two fave track’s off of this project Kanye & Cudi need to sqaush their beef & give us as the fan’s more musical masterpieces. 🎨
The title track is absolutely brilliant to me! The atmosphere it creates is otherworldly 🔥
True
I’m so happy you appreciated Feel The Love lol that track gets me so hyped! Album got me through a lot when it came out, it will always hold a place in my heart! Magic
one of my most waited reaction of yours
Incredible Album, Sad a collab like this will never happen again..
Don't lose hope! It might still happen
On a personal level this album meant so much to me once upon a time. I was at my lowest point when this album dropped, I would listen to it everyday and it made me feel better.
God damn I wish I could listen to this album for the first time again, thanks for the video!
That story of the two monks was spot on. Great reaction! I loved it
This is one of those albums I will always cherish. If only for a moment, we had Cudi and Ye reunited, only to fall out again. Like a relationship that burns hot and fast
I am so… heartbroken(?)… just sad(?) that this project is so short. I dream of another collab like this.
Thank you for letting us join you on your journey Bob.
Thanks for joining :)
one of my favourite albums of all time, sad that we might never get a sequel to this..
So I guess you stopped reacting to Ye?
Right before I have to go to sleep. Thanks for not having me wait till morning
Great album, the energy they had on this album was so special and IDK if it can ever be repeated. Fun fact, Fantano only has a handful of 10/10 albums and this is one of em !
Melon head?
he gave mbdtf a 6, do not trust him
@@jkoz8358 mbdtf after runaway is mid, all the great songs are in the first half
@@noahrudolph9066 i want whatever ur smoking
@@noahrudolph9066 hard disagree because blame game and lost in the world are fire, but you do realize runaway is 9 out of 14 tracks right? the album almost done by that point bro
fun fact: the outro to 4th dimension is from the original recording of the sample used in “ghost town” pt 1
What you said at the very end about "a small blip" that's very true. I would say I do "zoom out" sometimes, but sometimes it's just hard to in the first place. Glad this album had somewhat of a connection with you
the guitar in cudi montage is actually a Kurt Cobain sample i believe
You might already know this but on 4th Dimension when Kanye says "If I get locked up I won't finish the sent-" it means he won't finish his jail sentence but he also literally didn't finish the sentence.
i think he probably got that hes very smart with lyrics
Great reaction. Loved all three of the videos you posted yesterday. Side note that there is a song on this album has an eerily similar hook to a song on ye. I feel like these two songs are connected to each other despite appearing on separate albums, and if you figure out which ones im talking about, you might want to play them back to back. Just a fun experiment with ye's work.
25:45 I enjoyed this storytelling segment. A positive message, especially when it ties to the meaning of the lyric. Thank you for that, keep it up!
If ghost town was also on the album it would be the album of the decade
absolute masterpiece that’s all.
LETS GOOOO I LOVE YOU BOB
bro i love this album cover oh my god
One of the rare albums I consider to be perfect after about my 3rd listen. Cudi Montage also has one of my favorite Kanye verses ever.
Out of these three this one is my fav
I JUS NOTICED U UPLOADED ALL 3 OF THESE
LETDSSSS GOOO THREE BANGERS TODAYYYY
It’s been a long time coming
The last scratch-part of the track 4th Dimension is actually the same sample as that of Ghost Town from Ye. The next track in KSG is Ghost Town Pt2, so it's like a cool song motif in the two albums.
saw Cudi last night, it’s bittersweet going back to this album now
your bit about the monks was a GREAT message, gotta let the little things go or else it’ll be bigger than little
Hype for this
When you were talking bout the closing let’s call it “rift” at the end of some songs and how u can just fall in love with it, I want to recommend from the album THE COMING, by bustah rhymes the two songs abandoned ship -> woo Hah, in my opinion the catchiest piano let’s call it rift again, that’s almost 40 seconds long that has nothing to do with the Normal song or beat but still feeds beautifully into the next song! Thanks again bob
i'm still waiting for jik and donda
This is my #1 collaborative album of all time, such a good album
KSG, Ye, and Daytona in that order for my favorite album of the 3
daytona>ye but both are good
@@bradleyl0488 ye>daytona but both are good
The title is really beautiful. Kanye and Cudi see themselves as kids, as vessels of purity and innocence, something that all kids are. But, as innocent as they are, they go through life facing hardships (such as depression, anxiety, loss of faith), that is, ghosts. So, what I get from the title is people are all innocent, but only some choose to hold onto that purity and innocence as they are faced with hardships in life. This album is the two regaining their innocence through transformation and healing.
This album to me is more about what it makes me feel than what the lyrics say. Which is why I think it connects to many.
Thanks for sharing this, pretty cool idea
Whenever i Freeeeee, i always think about how Lenny Kravitz would have been so fire on it
Bobs laugh in the beginning of fire goes kinda hard 😩😩
peak cudi and ye. crazy how much they pushed each other on this album and how crazy the production is on each track
Loved this reaction! Such a unique album and I wish we could see another from them. Would love to see you react to Cheat Codes by Danger Mouse and Black Though which just came out pretty recently! It has quickly stolen Mr Morale spot for AOTY for me.
my first time watching one your videos all the way through, amazing video, amazing album! also interesting detail - the guitat at the start of Cudi Montage is sampled from Kurt Cobain
Thanks for watching, man :)
🖤🖤 love this album and loved ur reactions of the Wyoming era
My favorite album
Kids See Ghosts it's just a 1000/10.
Really glad you liked it and hopefully you will end up liking 'Ye' too. ♥
BOB YOU ARE ON A ROLE TODAY 😭
VAMOS
the story about the monks around 28:00 minutes made me think deeply about it. Ty :D
I really love how this album ends with a sort of prayer and the next Ye album is Jesus Is King, it really adds to the continuity of Ye albums and how they reflect his personal life
