  • could someone send me the instrumental for this i cant find it, im prob just shitty at lookin cuz i doubt someone would hide it, i mean, how do u do better than a beat break and soul, ill freestyle any cheapskate and turn ya daimonds into coal, put these nickel and dime store rhymers into holes, chi town is chill but up in minnesota it gets cold, but im not here to burn bridges just cut the tounges outa snitches and now they just listen.....but for real i need that insturmental

  • I miss this kanye

  • too bad these concepts for songs are gone but fame can get to anyone i guess

  • The version on graduation is sick but you can't beat the soulful original. Another masterpiece from the genius that is Mr. West.

  • This was the better version.

  • I heard the new version before this. I like it way more.

  • this is the pre-luminati ye

  • @Dannniel53 there is no illuminati and if u were a true fan u would no all his music is good music

  • @ghostkillaface1 i do like all his music... haha

  • KANYE = GENIUS

  • John Legend on the hook

  • Kanye is Kanye no rapper stays the same for ever I don't care if its College Dropout Kanye or My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy Kanye he is still my biggest inspiration in life

  • wow. its the same song. wtf. 

  • in Chicago we had all this underground Kanye shit early!..i remember them mixtape CD's

  • i knew kanye west him and my uncle were good friends intill my uncle died

  • fucking soul man

  • this song is one of the first kanye songs i really liked

  • Wht sample did Ye use on this!

  • The sad thing is, I know you more than does your boy JZ

  • yes ive been looking for this one FOREVER

  • man I been a ye fan PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE.

  • @bubbadude117 KANYE ALL THE WAY!

  • ahhh man ive been looking for this joint FOREVER....had it on a mix cd i made in college

  • john legend on the hook at the end > chris martin.

  • *thumbs up* Original kanye

  • this ones actually just called "home"

  • kanye isnt really good anymore =[

  • @mainvideos2009 Nope, he's GREAT now. =)

  • @bj3stock You know nothing about hip hop if you think hes good now.

  • @mainvideos2009 and u know nothing about an opinion.

  • @goonerboy93 Faggot.

  • @RDoubt96 haha lol @ u

  • @mainvideos2009 Real shit.

  • @mainvideos2009 about a year ago i watched a pete rock video with him talking about kanye cause they did "the Joy" together. Pete Rock said "kanye is hip hop" ill take pete rocks word over yours.

  • quit whining like kanye any different...u just aint hearin it right lol that boy cold

  • @windycity708773 id have tto disagree hes lacking alot of soul it seems... on his new tracks

  • @sadteeth1 look up lost in the world kanye west.......no soul?

  • @sadteeth1 or blame game...there both great

  • @windycity708773 listened to both pretty good.. blame game is great i have to agree... but i still feel like his lyrical skills have diminished. hes always made great soul beats but his latest albums have felt forced i dont get the same feelings or mix of emotions like college dropout came with

  • @sadteeth1 i guess agree 2 disagree..

  • @windycity708773 hahahahahahahahaha

  • nice

  • can some one tell me where i can buy this song i had it years ago and cannot find it again

  • this is 'home' off 'freshman adjustments'

  • this one is sooo much better than the one on his cd!!!

  • this is the kayne we should all remember.. not the alcoholic hiiiiilarious one but the serious one.. jk i love alcoholic kayne

  • Oh this song is one of the reasons why i fell in love with kanye when he first came out....loved that first album<3.....other version is good....but dis one's got soul in it

  • download link?

  • man why peoplgot to get in big time and let money get to them it ruins the music. its kinda there not writing song for enjoying it ther doing it for money

  • Man I been looking for this song for a long time preciate you for putting this up. This one is way better than the one he put on Graduation

  • love this shyt

  • This version goes so hard. It has so much soul. The other one is just some get hype commercial stuff. The difference between soul food and junkfood. This version will fill you up and stick with you. The new one does what after the song plays?

  • Classic material! I would rate this next to: 1. Brown Skin Lady - Mos & Kweli 2. The Blast - Hi Tek & Kweli 3. She's so Brillant - Jay Are Jazz 4. Prototype - Andre 3000 5. The PJ's - Big Daddy Kane 6. The Light - Common 7. Fight the Power- Public Enemy 8. Say it Again - Little Brother 9. Tupac - Changes 10. Nas - Reason 11. Lost Ones - Lauryn Hill 12. Guru - Dedicated to Cannon 13. Mase - Tell Me What You Want 14. Jettin' - Digable Planets 15. Mr. Wendal - Arrested Development
  • @souledout25 Dope list. Not too many peeps give Nas props on that album. Reason was a standout for sure.

  • This song and this whole album KEPT ME GOIN my freshman year...Good Shit Kanye!!!

  • one of the illest flows i've had my ears listen to. It brought tears to my eyes, it is so soulful like your grandmother sang it. This is a masterful use of soul music and the heartbeat of true hip hop blended into one to create a classic. RESPECT KANYE and you should get all the awards cause i don't see anyone stepping to the table. BLAKKA!

  • ey guys, real people dont sellout like kanye man... he's a great rapper, everybody knows that, but if kanye uses the auto-tune just because he wants to keep his fans and money pouring in, I actually think its just weak man... Look at Muhammad Ali f.Ex, He is one of the Greatest human being of all time, did he sell out? when the war was in Vietnam he stood by his opinion and didnt care about what other people thought about him.. but

    Kanye makes some cool songs tho :D

  • dhis dhat shit doe!!!!!

  • i like the other version better bcuz that beat is 2 cold with the piano plus dude did kill that hook, but damn this nigga can spit, niggas kill yallselves

  • sadly way before its time.....

  • this version of the song is really beautiful been listening to this version sense 02 sure its way better than the one that was released but this version of the song wouldn't have obtained the same commercial success as the one released with Chris martin it reaches to a "broader audience" sadly people didn't know who john legend was and patti labelle looped on the beat isn't exactly going to give everyone the same filling...

  • Where did it all go wrong for Kanye? Compare Jesus Walks to The Good Life, or Roses to Robocop... He's wasting his talent on commercial auto-tune. Where's the soul in that?

  • so true my friend.

    -alex

  • I agree... he had his own style..

    BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND...

    in order to survive out in the game... make money... keep fans. you have to go to what appeals to them.

    This is scene EVERYWHERE.. from clothing companies.. food n such. think about it. Mcdonalds came out with a dollla menu.. so did the other chain resturaunts... same with movies.. with the whole graphics.. its just part of making money kid..

    b ezi

  • "What I love so much she got so much soul". This song got so much soul. Hopefully Kanye will come back with some of this

  • i miss the old kanye

  • @princessdee813 me too. being a celebrity can do that to you

  • @princessdee813 damn i feel you, thought i was the only one thinkin like that. youre so damn right, i hate how he changed

  • @princessdee813 the fame got em probably

  • @princessdee813 FUCK you.

  • it's great to see so many people that prefer this over the one with chris martin.

    that one is just commercial shit, this is the all time best!

  • lol yalls is tweakin "you know that feeling when you listen to a song and you know its gonna be good" lol

  • got mad soul !!!!

  • Best version to me and yeah i get that feeling cause its a great song

  • no see if only more apsiring artist took note you see how much better this song is since he watied instead of just putting it out to have somethin out im not a fan of 808s but kanye at least takes his time which you gotta respect

  • not the first version though!! there was one w/o john legend wiling out at the end...that one was the best...before im good came out..

    when kanye came out with dj pharris

  • i like both of them as much. imo, theyre are diffrent songs, not just remixes. but this song is really sad... this wouldnt be the song to listen to if a girl just broke up with you or something. :)

  • the songs about Chicago not a dumb tick

  • added april 2008!!!

    man i know this song since 02

  • lol i was listening to this version before the graduation one -- they're both pretty dope but this ones got more emotion, and u can feel it.. it's kind of a sad song though

  • @CudCrew this doesn't have emotion, the graduation had emotion... this one had soul which is worth so much more.

  • @seanyj04 youre talking out your ass dude. why cant you just like both instead of splitting hairs and playing semantics to discredit one over the other? theyre both good. not every song has to be "soulful" in order to be great... whatever tha ever that even means/

  • @jintowwinmingchow if you don't even know what "soulful" means then don't comment at all... like seriously that's how dude got his career at all. Even Jay said it, so don't try to sit there and down my comment, its a strong accurate statement that i guarantee any real kanye fan from when he was damn near underground would agree with. Kanye is a very talented artist and his new shit is decent but i'd prefer kanye with soul because that's the REAL kanyes style. everything else, is bullshit...

  • @seanyj04 the point is you dont need a high voice soul sample to have soul in your music. kanye's music still has soul. it may not be what you like but dont say its souless just because its not what you grew up on.

  • @jintowwinmingchow exactly my point... HE does not RAP like this anymore... nobody said the beat was the reason the song had soul... what i;m saying is that kanye doesn't rap with this passion and soul anymore... listen to all his albums song for song like i've done and you'll see what im talking about.

  • too bad in 2002 i didn't know John Legend

  • i really wish he used this version instead this is real hip hop in my opinion real talk.you just get that vibe and you can feel the emotion in the song and how much he loves chi town

  • i agree. this one is more dope. it gives me that feeling in my stomach. you know that feeling when you first hear a song and you know its a great song.

  • This track is fucking dope - Plain and simple. Represent that fine-assed girl Windy from now 'til infinity!

  • this beat just gets to you,, it has feeling and you can here the feeling of kanye,, this one is much much much better..!!!!

    Greetzz,, E

  • this one was better, i rember useing the beat and concept in a talent show after hearing this back in 02

  • 100x better than new version
