I think it's important to remember that Kanye is a producer first, rapper/singer second. His live performances don't exactly make me tingle in my private parts, but what can you do? Still trumps most of the other shit in the rap industry.
@SmokefaceKillah92 The thing is that sampling is art. guys like for example... Mr. Oizo obviously sampled a lot, but they try to camouflage the sound a little bit with the LFO or effects, its not just copypaste is what i mean. Its shit when you sample a nowdays song, where is the work? if i cut a epic song of KC or Daft Punk to made my OWN song? cmon u cant sample hymns. I Know Kanye have lot of money to buy the rights of the songs, but dont tell me, this is art (speaking about the instrumental)
@SmokefaceKillah92 dont go man kid. in music there are legends and this wannabe want to be hype sampling daft punk, king crimson... what will be next? aphex twin?

@LOLforLIFE123 I'm pretty sure SNL wouldn't appreciate Kanye saying "Fuck SNL and the whole cast. Tell em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass. More specifically they can kiss my asshole. I'M AN ASSHOLE. You niggas got jokes". He should have performed the verse differently up to that point though. He should have picked it back up with "You short minded niggas thoughts is Napoleon"
HELLO WOULD YOU MIND TAKING A LOOK AT MY VIDEOS? IF YOU LIKE ANY TYPE OF MUSIC, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH ANYONE BE IT ANY TIES WITH MUSIC OF ANY FORM FROM SINGERS TO PRODUCERS TO RAPPERS TO DANCERS TAKE A SECOND TO HEAR MY STUFF IM SURE YOU WILL LIKE IT THANKS!
@proudtobe129 -- yeah, poor white people, they just can't catch a break, what with basically owning everybody else until relatively recently in the history of the world.
i dont know if yall noticed but kanye almost slipped in this video check it after he say at the end of the day yall know im feelin this shit and he slips on the sheet!!!lol
i dont know if yall noticed but kanye almost slipped in this video check it after he say at the end of the day yall know im feelin this shit and he slips on the sheet!!!lol
This song is not about portraying him as god. It's about power and what happens to you when you get it. Go watch the official video it's about 2 min long and you'll see the true meaning behind this song
@WhatANiceFlower True, you don't copy the face of the mona lisa and claim it's yours. But you can adopt the technique used by the "artist" in question. So while I don't agree with sampling, it does bring a level of reverse-celebrity to King Crimson. So it's not just all bad. Cheers bro.
What I like about kanye west is that even though he's a devil worshipper, I like the way how he puts something together like a person wanting to have alot of power and putting it into a song that makes sense. That's what I love about him, he turns reality into rap that he writes so hard about. Props to kanye an may his mother rest in peace.
@Blizzard666187 You are a complete moron with your feet shoved in your ears. Oh wait, I'm probably a government controlled chipset robot writing this message to you, aren't I?
@youngtimothy83 He's not talking about how much power God has he is talking about how much power he has, You probably don't like the lyrics because you don't understand themm.
@TheSehmon3 on the album version it definatly starts by saying "so exciting" but if you listen carefully it sounds like it fades to say "suicide" - fitting as the next verse is about him contemplating jumping out a window
not many artists use ambiguity in their lyrics these days, makes me appreciate kanye that little bit more!
Lookk to his performance dudes!! He's awsommee. And look he slips here: 3:00 but he is still doin' his job without any problem! But your Thumb up if you are with me :D
Has anyone noticed at about the 48 second mark, the girl on the podium to Kanye's left nearly falls over like a klutz. She's holding onto the cape that the girl on the floor crawling is wearing, but her end is too short and it nearly pulls her off the podium.
I think it's funny yet badass how he almost fell in 3:01 & used the word trippen after he looked like he gamma actually fall lol but yea Kanye is a beast!
This was one of the most awesome proformances I had ever seen
