  • @atayy22

    haha not even. "Homecoming" is the "Home" REMIX.

  • A lot of soldiers ain't make it through this year,

    so let's just celebrate that we still here

  • homecoming was wack. this version is much better

  • @BillzBillzBillz93 YES ! glad im not the only one know whats up..This one goess so much deeeper

  • The only difference between this and Homecoming is:

    Home: "Shoot for the stars, so if you fall you'll land on a cloud"

    Homecoming: "REACH for the stars, so if you fall you'll land on a cloud"

    :D

  • this track is dope. WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS???

  • I had never heard this song before?

    but like it (^_^)

  • This is the track that should motivate the world!!!!!!

  • i remember blastin this shit a long time ago!! love this trackkk the original shitt

  • good shit

  • Sounds like his jaw is broken like on through the wire. was this recorded around that time?

  • sounds like homecoming ft Chris Martin

  • @jagfan1415 it's EXACTLY the same lyrics as homecoming...just a better beat

  • i loved this song...it was hot...

  • this song samples Patti Labelle & the Bluebelles..."you'll never walk alone"

  • @jayrocker do you know where the melody singing at the chorus came from

  • @InTD93

    Patti LaBelle 

  • @MannarinoJoey Thanx I appreciate it

  • way better than the album version, one of Kanye's best songs delivery wise, he rode this beat perfect.

  • best song by kanye

    

  • this is too much!!! but he can suckdik now

  • check out my POWER REMIX let me know what you think I NEED FEEDBACK....constructive feedback

  • let me celebrate when i hear this song

  • Does anyone kno what song he sampled for this track?

  • @ShortBrownMC Patti Labelle & The Bluebelles - You'll Never Walk Alone

  • This is my favorite Kanye song and its not even on a cd. That one on the album is pretty crappy compared to this one.

  • my favorite kanye west song. i consider this my anthem, even

  • Not as smooth and polished as the "Graduation" version, but definitely gotta more soulful vibe! John Legend's parts are solid, but Kanye's flow on this one isn't as great as it was on his future collaboration with Chris Martin.

    I think this song did kinda creep back up later, though, in some way, in John Legend's solo effort "Coming Home." The hook reminds me of that song. :)

  • He put the song on graduacion album but different instrumental and chris martin replaces john legend on the chourus

  • LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE

  • this da shit... Kanye can u put dis on a cd so people can here dis shit...... everybody i let here dis song say dey never heard this...and it's hot..

  • this is da shit........

  • fuck an ipod got da cd. that is why i buy bootleg the raw is still there before they commercialize da shit

  • the other one sound too chopped up compared to this one. this how it needed to be

  • where can i download this song?

  • Damn those vocals... my goodness. Way better then the other version.

  • This cut is def...better....

  • Man i wish they put this on Late Registration instead of the chrismartin version.

    My name is Windy and yo, i like to blow trees.. dope.

  • ahh man i cant really decide which is better

  • does anyone have this on file? i cant find it anywhere and would love to put it on my ipod!!

  • @BGL1808 Its on the "Prelude to Graduation" mixtape by Dj Red Devil. Its old but still fire and got this song towards the end i believe

  • if im correct this was supposed to be on Late Registration as a bonus song but it didnt make da cut....but 2 me Legend's crooning makes this a lil better than Homecoming..2 me

  • @adammicheal215 you mean College Dropout? This was recorded way before college dropout was released.

  • @marshalld912 Nah it was Late Registration, he just wanted to put an old song on that album as a bonus but eventually didn't I guess..

  • @adammicheal215 wrong!!!! with was actually on kanye's first album "freshman adjustment"

  • @adammicheal215 Correct good sir

  • nah homecoming s better

  • Patti Labelle & The Bluebelles - You'll Never Walk Alone!!

  • My favorite Kanye song ... lets hope he returns better than ever....

  • if your from chicago this will almost bring a tear to your eyes. theres no place like chicago

  • Love this, so so good

  • WISH I COULD BUY THIS SONG

  • why didn't Kanye make this version the single instead of that overplayed one with matthew santos

  • Chris martin my bad was thinking about Lupe Fiasco's song

  • Comment removed

  • its not matthew santos, its chris martin from coldplay

  • Well this was on a mixtape, so I'm pretty sure it was because he couldn't get permission for the sample he used.

  • kanye you ARE music, as usual i am at a loss of words.

  • this is MUSIC

  • Love it so much!!!!!

    REAL SHIT IN THIS SONG

  • This shit was HOTTTTT......

    Too bad this wasn't the single.....but Homecoming was straight regardless.

  • well yea its pretty much the exact verse tho

  • the verse is from i used to love h.e.r by common and homecoming

  • No, this verse isn't from Common

    Kanye talks about Chicago and Common talks about Hip Hop. He got the idea from Common though

  • this is from homecomeing it sonunds like it

  • this was the original version of homecoming, and he used most of this version in homecoming, but this came first

  • and the frist line from this song is from i used to love her by common

  • its all centered around that song :)

  • dopeness.

    waaaaaay better than the version on his

    album. john went it on the hook.

    and the beat. ahhh u just have to bob ur head. lolol cant stop it.

  • omq ive been sinqinq this all day && could not find it anywhere i should of looked on youtube first !! duhh lol

  • this song came way before homecoming tho

  • ahh right Homecoming, i spoke to soon lol

  • where is this verse from?

  • dope track

  • How come that this version isn't so well known ? It's so more soulfull than the 'hit' version. Love this one !

  • You've named the reason yourself already.. Kids these days don't care about soulful stuff, that's the reason why everybody use autotune...

    It sucks..

  • thts because this is like so old i remember listeninq to this in like middle school & im a freshman in college now lol

  • i actually lik both there both different in their own way

  • definetley feel this one alot more

  • I like this version better makes it feel more soulful, more like "home" then the other one

  • I really dont like the hook for this song..good song not to sure if it as good as the Graduation version.

  • wtf its like homecoming mixed with this

  • this is the original. ye made it before college dropout or around that time.

  • always loved this song..havnt heard it in so long till my bro was listenin to it today

    (always a great collabo)

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • yeah this was my shit back in the day i used to blaze to this many of nights wayyy better than the remake. but i think he switched the beat cuz the world wont ready for this one.

  • i totally agree.....

  • I agree! I remember this version from 03 or 04... I really don't care for the one on graduation.

  • when im going thru some shit i just listen to this instrumental and everything becomes brighter

  • amazing song

  • Once they'll be mine:D

  • old....what is run dmc for you? antique?

  • this one is wayy betteerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­r !

  • wow i remember bumpin this in 6th grade i was kinda salty when he put out the other version for graduation cuz this shit been out b4 his 1st album dropped

  • i think this song sound so much better like this

  • what year did this come out

  • prolly around the same time as graduation cause now its called homecoming with chris martin it was on one of his mixtapes

  • this shit came out a while ago bro. was on his first cd before college dropout, called freshmen adjustment

  • true true forgot about that

  • oh yeah...this one is some much better than homecoming. I was wondering y this one didn't make college dropout

  • The John Legend parts are solid...but Kanye's delivery is worse than on homecoming

  • @neoownsyou It wasnt his first CD, It was his first mixtape, most of the songs on Late Registration are actually from Freshmen Adjustment but he didnt use them on College Dropout.

  • This got turned into the song Homecoming

  • common was the original for these rhymes..not jay..although they all did it well and had a hand in writing it

  • i think its cuz there was alot going on beat wise and the flow was smoother with homecomin but yeah he couldve made a beat similiar to this with john on it.

    THAT wouldve been sick.

  • does anyone know where i can find this?

  • kanye west - freshmen adjustment

    its a mixtape that didn't receive much hype but is actually pretty good

  • Im lovin the Patti Labelle and The Bluebelles sample!!!!!!!!

  • which pati labelle song is this?

  • It's called "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Patti Labelle and The Bluebelles

  • did Kanye bite Jay-Z's rhyme or did Jay bite Kanye's line? "And guess when I heard that - when I was back home..."

  • kanye took it from jay.

    jay originally said that line on "the streets is watching" (1998).

  • disregard that, jay spit it originally on "streets is talking".

  • really it dont matter cuz rappers always take lines from each other for example wen jay took a line from eminem on cold success

  • holy crap i love this song so much, and i agree it way better then homecoming for a while i thought like it wasnt a real song because it isnt on any of his albums but i know I realize it is real YES

  • this is so much better than homecoming because of john legend. if i had to listen to only one singer for the rest of my life and only them it would be john legend. i like homecoming too though so it doesnt really matter.

  • you noticed he used the second verse on homecoming

  • THIS SONG IS GREAT! THIS MII SHIT! =)

  • This probably should've been on The College Dropout (the song appears on his compilation album, "Freshman Adjustment")... I think it would've fit alright with the rest of the album. And its way better than Homecoming.

  • this is so much more soulful then the new version he put out on his last album...i think if he went back into the lab and redid the song it would have been dope

  • agreed. this song is better than the new version in my opinion. and ya i agree this song has fucking soul straight up. this seems more kanye than the chris martin version

  • maybe its just me, but im glad he didn't release this or whatever. the background vocals get kinda irritating after a while. I like the lyrics better in homecoming with Chris Martin. I think it sounds much better on Graduation. I usually like John Legend for choruses, but there's too much goin on this time that it kinda drowns him out.

  • lol idiot..if anything the lyrics kill it

  • That's pretty much why I think he changed it.

    'Ye's got his own set of standards and expectations when he makes a track, if he don't like how it sounds, he won't make it an official release.

  • I love this song, and these lyrics are used in homecoming, but this was better

  • This came out WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY before homecoming. This was before "Colleg Dropout" This was what got him to join Rocafella as a rapper, not just a producer.

  • i dont fucking understand why this wasnt on his first album the flow and style fits the overall tone of the album it was already a classic but fuck this really really would have added to it i would probably still be bumping today

  • it was on a post-release version of College Dropout...ive been listening to this for years

  • LOVED this song...like it so much better than the one playing on the radio! GOOD times in '03 & '04

  • heard this song years ago for the first time coming home from a strip club with some female friends, good times, good night. Much better then the album version

  • this is way better than the one he did with the coldplay guy.. no disrespect kanye.. should have kept with this one..

    -midnight

  • This is my favorite Kanye - song. So much soul, that you can feel it, perfect.

  • Im with riordan32 the vocals really get into your head!

  • i like this version but the female vocals in the back get sorta grating after a while

  • He made homecoming because it's more flashy and commercially viable, which is the direction that Kanye went with Graduation, unfortunately.

  • this beat is the shit!!

  • wayyy better

  • wow....i cant even listen to homecoming anymore!

    itz so soulful man........

  • this is classic kanye should have stayed like this !!!

  • this beat is to sick man, he should have left it like this

  • exactly i dnt understand y he made homecoming either cuz this 1 is better...

  • wow killer track

  • wow i dont understand why he made homecoming after he made this...

    oh well this beat is better than the grad version, this beat just sounds so much more soulful

  • This is one of Kanye's best for me. The fly part is that it was like a first draft to him.

  • Where do you find this song? Is it on some kind of mixtape or something?

  • it was on his fresh adjusment mixtape

  • straight rza beat

  • this beat is DOOOOPE. very-rza.....

  • Kanye shouldn't have even used these lyrics for Homecoming. That beat is sick so he should have just wrote some fresh lyrics!

  • haha yeah i kinda agree, it would've been nice:-)

  • yeah man i agree the beat is to sick

  • this song is better than the grad version they should have just recorded this again with better quality

  • its off the freshman adjustment cds

  • i like homecoming better

  • Does anyone know where I can find this version of this song? please respond!

  • this version better than homecoming to me

  • BEAT IS CRAZY!!!!

  • this is the shit man

  • soo d@mn raw..waaay better than the new one..i heard this forever ago on the mixtape

  • homecoming verses... or i guess Home verses to homecoming beat ha

  • This should have been released as a singel instead of homecoming. John Legend and Kanye might be the greatest artistic duo since mccartney and lennon.

  • Ooooo! That's heavy...but I like the comparison! DOPE

  • I like homecoming but he coulda used John Legend, but Chris Marin from Coldplay did a good job as well...

  • This is much better than Homecoming!

  • actually this is homecoming its the original homecoming before he made graduation

  • I think that's what Takeover4 meant. This version is called Home, not Homecoming.

  • I know that. But like shogunofyellow said, this is called Home...

  • Goody2bad2 fully agree with you ! Shame the quality of this vid isn't that good but i love this song.

  • i miss this kanye. introspective, lyrical, and those heavy soulful beats. the big, live sound he has now is sick, but he's gotta keep some balance.

  • i 2nd that

  • THIS beat is hella hard!!! Chi-town niggas. lol!!! "keep making that plat and gold for me YE"
