Kanye West - Family Business

[123inyoface]

This song teaches so much...no family is perfect, the people who truly matter are in your family, friends can be part of a family, "you can love a man and still be manly dawg," and that Kanye is awsome!

[HomieTheHomelessHero]

damn i love kanye.

I woke up early this mornin' with a new state of mind

A creative way to rhyme without usin' knives and guns

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God

And keep your face to the risin' sun

[HomieTheHomelessHero]

damn i love kanye.

[matt10LFC]

@kidrevolution3 agree, 100 percent

[iKhadijahCanFLY]

:')

[tswa313]

This shit cold...CAN U CHECK ME OUT IMMA FEMALE MC!

[stillnotda1]

@tswa313 a female MC who shoulda just stayed in the kitchen or BEDROOM for the REAL MC'S...

[MoNtYbOy101]

People dont understand that every song kanye makes is him. What would be the point in making the same shit over and over? Like jay z said, "niggaz want my old shit, buy my old albums,"

[hoodyboybaby1]

Blood is thicker then water homies so family is first=famz alwayz!!

[TheSugarbaby4]

wow i love dis song and family is important

[TheSugarbaby4]

wow i love this song

[georgia795]

Hi, yeah, can you bring the Kanye that wasn't a dick back please? Thanks. 

[xxpurplexxcookiesxx]

friends come and go,but family stays forever[:

[worteltjessla]

family first,

love for kanye,

he's great!



[FreakyZeeno]

Kanye did hi muhfuckin thang with this one rite here

[TheGypsyMagic]

All that glitters isn't Gold...

[12lcballer]

kanye was so pure on the college dropout, its sad to see how the industry changes people

[cekizzz1000]

@12lcballer no doubt

[Mr203morgan]

hi everyone

[JUSTBLAZE4747]

haha fkn gay fish

[jovy12354]

BEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME! Definately one of his best songs

[Eddylad2009]

College dropout was by far his best album

[sm0kesum]

@Eddylad2009

[llottenn]

aahhh best song of ye

really prefer his old style

hope that he goes back to rap, cause heartbreak sucksss

however still love him

[garnett4mvp8]

This song proves Kanye is a nice guy and his apology to Taylor was real. really nice song

[JPhunk420]

this came out when I was like 16, in D.O.C. we was allowed to have one c.d. an I had to have the new Kanye. This song really held me down during rough times, Thank you Kanye.

[diesh69]

ahhh what happened to you kanye,

[AnonymousUsual]

this song brought me to tears the first time i heard it.

[bigmarlaz]

Same, its so soulful and heartfelt

[Mr23632]

amazing The best kanye ever..beats n lyrics i agree with kirevolution3 this my favorite song with Amazing and Robocop ..The college dropout and 808s his best albums

[denuts10]

It will be a timeless track!!!

[RobinErikssonz]

i love all of kanyes song the new ones to but my fav is jesus walks and paranoid .

[URbloodMYfist]

who else thinks the first few notes are the first few notes of man in the mirror...michael jackson

[Uriel5212]

Yeah they are the sound the same ,but in a softer tone.(:

Would of never tough about that.

[13ulletproof]

I'm Pretty sure it is, i just realized it when i listened to the notes of man in the mirror on piano and guitar. It reminded me of this song.

[justinsmitty308]

i fuckin LOVE this song, i love all his old shit, not his new atuo tune shit as much though :S

[ZohanJr]

he's off that now

[tutebulles]

miss the old kanye :(

these lyrics are so deep

[GMaster39]

Seriously Kanye isn't really that bad now...he's great now but before his songs were excellent and impressionable so...

[adio5467]

1 word...beautiful!!

[mrnailz360]

I fucking love the old Kanye, just gay now :\

[punkyhiphopdood]

I know. It's not really surprising though, first albums are always the best, they just get weaker and weaker after that. Look at every rap artist ever, it's nearly always the same story. But i guess that's just a matter of opinion.

[Hotdam165]

cause you start to lose ur insperation , most people sing about there life right, when u get famous after a while its hard to find that inspiration , n sometimes they just strat to sing aobut being rich n shit

[Eddylad2009]

just a gay fish :L

[Kevinsep23]

your a hater / gay

if you knew he was gay , why would you come and see a "gay artist" doesnt that make you "gay" ?

[Eddylad2009]

it was a joke :l

[Eddylad2009]

it was a joke chill kanye is class

[dietsouthpark]

i hate rap except for this song

[xXmaxwellskitchenXx]

kilian, i consider u as my family! brother from another mother!!

[stackthatcheez]

song is so sick man. college dropout was the sickest album ever, hopefully he stills drops one somewhere at least near as good as it.

[xjaYbEzJuiCYx]

true.

[datdudecool]

This my cut right here. I love the background singers too, especially the kids. Awl naw don't open the photo book up.

[mrdynasty]

i have to say tho idunno maybe u was distracted by the autotune... but he was still lyrically cold in 808s he jus wanted to try a new sound i see nuthin wrong w/ experimenting. getting mad at someone for usin autotune is pointless its just a tool to creat a certain sound same as a dj's beat maker

[irishboss29]

great song.

[LilKikiBaby11]

I LUV DIS SONG!!!!! U THA BEST KANYE!!!

[arneshia2001]

this is my shit right here cause it brings you back to reality

[Panfriedchicken]

Use are all haters if you're dissin' Kanye's 808..Auto tune is something unusual and different. He'll be back to this aswell. don't worry. either way he makes some unbelievably good songs.

[alexevans971]

Ah-mazinggg song!

Love you Kanye <3 :]

[TheUnknown38]

best kanye west song, from a time when he was actually amazing, not some celebrity over hyped philistine.

[WinxownZ]

Make the team this year? HELL NA

[DeeSquad]

"Act like you ain't took a bath with your cousins

Fit three in the bed while six of y'all

I'm talkin' 'bout three by the head and three by the leg"

Dis dude cracks me up man i used to listin to this and 'through the wire' back around 2003

i know that only his true fans like this song

[Dikefale21]

1).Late Registration

2).College Dropout

3).Graduation.

.

.

.

4).808's & Heartbreak

[common11sense]

808s isn't even in the same genre as his first three. can't really compare it to any rap albums

[phabion]

Very true, I guess I like that he kinda showed some versatility with 808, I just wasnt a big fan of it.

[owengorkon1]

all that glitters is not gold.

[secreri]

this is what should reach the charts, songs with real meanings... And another thing i want this kanye back.. i dont like the auto tune or whatever its called... i want the real straight up real rap

[vetconnect]

love the lyrics. can totally relate... fit 3 in the bed if it's 6 of y'all I'm talking 'bout 3 by the head and 3 by the leg...love it!

[itseddyhere]

one of my fav kanye songs and one of my fave songs of all time

the most underrated song ever! :|

[ClarenceMurphy]

Why are the songs that don't necessarily get acclaim from the masses are considered overrated!?

[vincecarter2467]

this could be with tray mcgrady and vince carter nice song keep it up

[GrosserOnkel]

The whole album is awesome...That's Kanye...not that gayfish on 808 & heartbreak. I hope he will return to the music he once made

[AlazarMarkose]

@GrosserOnkel he can't just "return" to this type of music. You've got to understand his music is all about the mindset he's at. He cant rap about this shit anymore. This isn't his life anymore. He made this music when he was coming up, when he was still a hungry mc living this life. Now he's big, cameras everywhere. Thats his life, and that's what he's going to rap about. You can't just make this type of music if you're not inspired. Cut the guy some slack. shit

[karlremembers]

@AlazarMarkose never thought about that. good point

[AlazarMarkose]

@karlremembers yeah most of his fans never really do man. Thanks

[FULLFLAVORRRR]

@GrosserOnkel

Amen to that my dude, this is when Kayne was fire. Now its all that autotune bullshit.

Me and my boy were just talkin bout it...

AND MY NIGGAS AINT MY GUYS DEY MY FAMILY DAWG...

Yea... thats where its at..

[scarfaceJR13]

yall people are stupid, he never changed, he just wanted to do something new, and if you havent noticed he was going through the worst times of his life. Now hes back to doing himself, listen to the new remixes and features hes on

[ClarenceMurphy]

I definitely agree, People are scared of change. I guess he felt he had to get some things off his chest with 808s

[Bizthebaddest]

this is ILLLLLLLLLLL !

[Weaponx20killa]

ya man i re4ally want the old kanye back

[tookool4skool16]

thanks for posting this. this song means a lot

[handymanny42]

"mommy and daddy can we please stop fightin? ...lets get stevie out of jail" i love this song

[058thegodfatherlwd]

geweldig nummer

[Profetic]

His Older Stuff (this) is way better than That T-pain Impersination

I love this Kanye..

[remcosloots]

totally

[gocelts34n7]

yup

[OrleansBlues]

thats what it sounds like, something is said after it too.that line comes from bob marley, same place where wyclef gets it too.

[dan4boi]

Can some one confirm? Does it say....

'All the glitter is not gold, ah gold is not reality' ...? Thanks

[calsee3]

I think it says all the glitter is like glue.

[LoLpsa395]

it says "I tell you that (all the glitter) is my weight in gold"

[twtrojanj00]

All that glitters is not gold.. all thats gold is not reality

[twtrojanj00]

All that glitters is not gold... whats gold is not reality.

[Supersheep15]

[Rickaka1]

[willemellis]

[souflondon1]

[dndn06]

[loulovesyou321]

[LeexC33]

fav song on college dropout for sure

[murkserious1600]

Dude Is ILL...I Felt Every Word ...Hip Hop Can Never Die As Long As Niggas Like This Exist..

[bigdadykane420954]

grillin' people like George Foreman.

great song. I miss the college dropout kanye

[Emimaster]

This has become my favorite track off "College Dropout." Everybody always think I'm weird for liking it or are indifferent to the shit he is saying. It's so deep, and it he's on point with these family situations. It's dope.

[johnshaft81]

I luv Kanye...any Kanye.

Every album is dope.  People dont like that new shit cuz they're not feeln or living that it right now...That heartbreak shit hurts. Wish i didnt. Fcuk it...Soundtrack to my life right now

Peace

[atimus203]

Shut the fuck up nobody gives a fuck if you got dumped go get some pussy and deal with it.

[fasju52]

I just hate that auto tune thing. if he didn't use that so much, i can truly say i would like the songs more.

[mnasty1979]

I like 808's and Heartbreak, but I miss this Kanye.

[Rufus1up]

I hope he comes back!

[MattyCBeatz]

My fav tune from this album

Check out my 'Single Ladies' piano remix by Beyoncé...

/watch?v=xDXisS1GAOo

[Tlonghorns44]

great song

[littledeguzman]

i love this song

[ejikeanyanwu]

I agree that these were some of the better times, but just because he does something different doesn't mean that he's sold out. He's the same guy. I can understand if you don't like his new stuff but that doesn't justify bashing him. I like his music but I also like Kanye himself, what he does and believes him.

Like I said in another comment "If all you want are hot tracks, you should probably switch to Timbaland".

Choose whether you like Kanye or snare drums, 'cause Kanye is still the same.

[sflowmusic]

nah i dont know dude , that new shit is whack !

fucking whack ! the whole concept of that album i brought it from the store , thinking shit kanye made a new album , boom on my way home listening to it skipped every song after a quick 30sec skim of each track and wrapped it back up and was ready to throw it out the window ! you say he didnt sell out , fuck that , i dont what these mother fukers call rap hip hop these days , that shit with fucked up voices , a quick 4/4 beat !

[sflowmusic]

a lil instrument to throw the amateurs ear ! ekkkk , music is just not what it used to be and doesnt have to be like it used to be but FUCKING HELL PUT SOME FUCKING PASSION INTO IT !

[ejikeanyanwu]

keep in mind that he's not calling rap or hip-hop, it's Pop Art and he's been going through alot of emotional stuff.

[mg1655]

ahhh... old good kanye.. i truly miss him... he was one of my fav. but now... he on the same level that soulja boy and lil wayne for me.. because of him shitty new album, rap miss you kanye, come back to your old love

[dimeclasshero]

hell yes!!!!! i can listen to his old album all day. that new crap he got out is depressing! this is real music. now we back to have no NEW real music besides r&b...hip hop is dead...

[skinzworld21]

i missed it when he rapped now changed his style of music and he also said he is quitting rap. rap made him he was an amazin lyricist

[mtlballer04]

agreed....he needs to make more stuff like this....the entire 808s and heartbreak album may have sold well but it was nothing compared to his old stuff and long time fans will understand that

[thiefydude8]

I wish Kanye would read all of our comments right now. He has nice beats, he has flow, and he has potential to be one of the best rappers ever.

[zakaryapaname]

french rap is better watch the video in myspace

nique le buisness

[SOUTHWEST778]

this is one of the best ever made, this new crap hes makin dont even come close to tunes like this

[AlvaroCortenga]

so true

[OwzAJ]

Amazing.

[HiMyNamesEllieLol]

[munnymore]

[kaos8888]

[Lukorz]

I woke up this morning with a new state of mind,

A creative way to rhyme with out using knives and guns

[freedomfighta]

I feel these songs had more meaning and were deeper

[AreLEXt]

Damn this song is nice love to see kanye make another album like college dropout

[KingofSlugs]

This song sends shivers down my spine!

[H0ndaC1v1c94]

This song is amazing, what happened Mr West?

[cannabL1sS]
