  • check out the cover we did...i know you gone love it

  • I just noticed the man's name was Kanye and not Kayne...

  • "Choke a South Park writer with a fish stick"

  • Fuck Yank ruined James Bond!

  • Gay fish

  • 00:25 - 00:33 Reminds me "Ms Jackson"

  • @cassianocemanos That part was most likely influenced from that song.

  • @cassianocemanos for eva eva!!!

  • Comment removed

  • you can not buy diamonds from Sierra Leone, but by buying diamonds you are keeping the market alive and in competition

  • He gets the best samples. If he stayed out of the more techno stuff, but his music is still good though. Can't knock him. And it's good somebody made a song about a huge issue like this.

  • R-r-r-right here stands a-man

    With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands..

    Which is why doctors say he's the illest, cause he suffers from realness!

  • @Boweavel Very clever. Not the illest though.

  • greatest song of all time

  • Kanye's Music has Soul

    thats what others lack

  • Kayne is a great producer, he makes good music. There are better rappers out there but kayne is one in his own.

  • Comment removed

  • I always come to the second video so i dont have to wait to for the song with the commercial on vevo -__- thumbs up!

  • @CentCal93906 or for lyrics to be bleeped out.. Kanye's music aint the same without a little cursing!

  • Definitely miss going fast to this song!

  • Sad part is lupe did his song the right way tellin ppl about the conflict with the diamonds but its ok kanye yhu still killed it

  • @MeZmoRiiZeXx so did Nas

    called "shine on em"

    its really good you shouldnt listen to it if you havent

  • Best part is 0:00 to 4:00

  • Do you like fishsticks?

  • @tarquinblasfamisc lol gayfish

    

  • Eva Evaa!

  • Yo Sierra Leone, ima let you finish but...

  • 8 people tried to talk some sense into someone, 30 minutes later seen theres no convincing them

  • Kanye isn't the best rapper, as a matter of fact there are many who are better, but as PLURshit said, Kanye is the biggest ARTIST of 'em all, and truly a genius...

  • @rnrivana94 I agree there are better rappers (though he is kind of underrated by some people in that regard, atleast he puts forward a lot of good points in his lyrics), but as an overall artist/producer, he's a beast.

  • Love this song, it's great and all but I'm hung up on the fact that one of the top comments is one where "ARTICULANT" is used instead of ariculate

  • Kanye's old material is what made me get into his music, he's still nice though

  • I really cannot stand Kanye but this song is so good.

  • @PLURshit - What is a geniious?

  • I love this shit, Kanye is so ill for this

  • Check out this Kanye REMIX I did:

    youtube.com/watch?v=AoD8s_2jtB­c

  • DIS IS REAL SHIT

  • opinions are like assholes..

  • so why is this song called diamonds from sierra leone if all kanye is talking about is how great he is? classic rappers who couldnt make a song about something important if they tried

  • @thisdayjustbelongedt im confused....why listen to a rap song if u dont like the artist? classic haters who know nothing about what they are hating on. He is telling a story about the hardships of working in the industry and how (at the time) he was the sole artist keeping the Roc Nation label afloat. Diamonds from sierra leone is the name b/c those are considered some of the most precious diamonds on Earth, and the symbol for Roc Nation is a diamond...its a metaphor. gain some knowledge...-___-

  • @bronxpimpfalife sierra leone diamonds are not the most precious diamonds on earth they are illegally obtained diamonds that are the result of child soldiers. and my main point was that rappers cant make songs about meaningful things which is still the case

  • probably kanye's best next to all of the lights

  • "my father ben said i need jesus so he took me to church and let the water wash over my cesar, the preacher said we need leaders, right then my body got still like a parapalegic." Good Music for life.

  • One of the best songs ever!

  • "I get my energy from my inner G" Lupe Fiasco

  • i havent heard this song in a year or two and i still remeber the damn lyrics. Thats POWER.

  • i don't see how he's conceited

  • where can i find the other version of this song? the one that actually talks about sierra leone

  • @pfvb88 Lupe Fiasco- Conflict Diamonds

  • @KobeBryantfan24 lick balls queer

  • Goosebumps start up around 2:13

  • I liked old Kanye West, where the hell did HE go?

  • @sarenthach its the same kanye now- even better

  • There's just something so bone-chilling about this song.

  • The classic Kanye needs to come back. Agree?

  • Wait a minute. On the song right above it, when lil wayne says Kane got the fucking beat jumpin' like a jumping jack. was he talking about Kanye?

  • @masterbrice naw hes talking bout the producer Kane Beatz

  • song in 300 bars by game!!

  • seee this is what happens when the best produver in the game and the best rapper in the game......are the same person -__-

  • i wonder if kanye writes his stuff? if he don't then he's a genius

  • Lupe's version is better

  • gay fish

  • FORE EVER, EVER??!

    FOR EVER , EVER??!

    FOR EVER , EVER??!

    FOR EVER , EVER??!

    FOR EVER , EVER??!

    YES, FOREVER!

  • Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic

    Yea the beat cold but the flow is anemic............when i first heard this i was shocked that kanye can flow like that

  • type in "syllables response" the kid is killing it!!!!

  • I feel like no one really appreciates this song for what its worth, Kanye is really just the single greatest hip hop artist alive right now.. HIP HOP ARTIST is really what he is.. This record is really trying to articulate a story, it was the theme song for the Blood Diamond and the lyrics are just wayyy too damn articulant. Kanye is a GENIIOUS hands down

  • @PLURshit Maybe he is. But you're not. It's spelled "genius" and 'articulant' isn't a word. That squiggly line under each misspelled word on your computer? Pay attention to it.

  • @waggaga1 hey fuck you bro. how many likes you get on your comment?? thats what i thought pussy lips

  • @PLURshit I don't care about likes, bro. I don't need those. Here, I'll give you one right now. Keep bragging about something so insignificant. Makes you look stupider.

  • @PLURshit big deal, it's called a typo dickhead, I'm sure he knows how to spell it.

  • @PLURshit Well, you're clearly not a genius, because uhm... you spelled genius wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • @xSYDLOUFOUx12 It was a typo. Everyone makes them.

  • @SasukeManicFred That wasn't a typo. A typo could be like, "gneius,' or 'genuis' but, 'geniious' isn't a typo, that's just purely misspelling the word.

  • @PLURshit spell genius right you dumb fuck.

  • @iain08 Dam calm down. Shit. Haha.

  • @PLURshit lupes version is good too

  • @PLURshit That's an awesome comment man. Cheers

  • 1:54-2:03 is so fucking legit... this is one of my favorite Kanye songs.

  • I spit over this, check it if ya wanna

  • Fo eva eva eva eva eva eva eva!

  • @atlas92productions there was a coulple more eva eva's lol

  • kanye will be known for eva eva for eva eva for eva eva eva eva eva eva eva eva.

  • the beat hits at 0:15 and i jizz in my pants

  • @hamage221 yeah that is pretty sick

  • me and my friend was singing this in our english class X]

  • @winterfrost486

    No one cares

  • @arreat89 and i dont particularly care that you dont care :)

  • If ur a stripper named porshche and gets tips from many man. Then ur fat friend's nickame is minivan :D ........ Kanye is genius

  • Ye, went in on this one...

    CHI TOWN!!!!

  • Like the diamonds, this song is forever.

  • are diamonds forever?

  • This song is basically damage control for the fallout Kanye and Jayz had shortly before this song came out. Diamonds=the roc a fella symbol. When he says "right here stands a man with a power to make a diamond with his bare hands" he means the roc a fella symbol.

  • bboy king so!!!!!

  • whoever says this is not about blood diamonds is retarted... the fact that roc-a-fella records symbol is a diamond is just a coincidence. hes talking about the struggle and slaying of innocent african people to get a diamond in your ear.

  • @Avallido89 where in the fuck in this song does it  talk about that...do your research bro

  • @NoLabelProductionsCA its in the official video... 

  • @WoodPusherDexy i'm talkin about the actual wack lyrics, it doesn't say any thing about conflict diamonds,and of course it would be in the video. it's the concept but the lyrics don't go with the video

  • @griff2489 nigga you fuckin stupid... go watch blood diamond. the explanation is that when you see any of your friends, parents, children wearing diamonds on there body like its nothing you have to look at what they come from. and how many lives were slayed and how many childrens lives were taken away to get 1 single diamond in your hand for thousands of dollars. its putting a price on innocent lives.

  • vegas on acid. drop dem doses brah. LSD is good 4 U

  • Watch Blood Diamond Then listen to this song.

  • @weezyfan25

    This has nothing to do with Blood Diamonds....

  • @TroyD199 Uhm, that's what this song is about..

  • @BrandonxIsRad

    Its about roc-a-fella records dipshit. There is nothing in these lyrics that has to do with sierra leone. THe remix yes, but this no.

  • @TroyD199 No need to get mad sir, but the title clearly states that the song is about Blood Diamonds.

  • @TroyD199 there kinda is, coming from the second verse. I think this whole song's supposed to be meant to be followed by in the eyes of a person in Sierra Leone working for the diamonds who pays close attention to western/american worksmanship (rappers, singers, etc.). That is, if it makes any sense to you.

  • @GamerX89X

    The second verse is Kanye talking about his come up...I seriously dont think we are listening to the same thing.

  • @TroyD199 I think he was high when he wroth that comment heh

  • @TroyD199

    Lol. Im just saying where is their a verse that says anything about diamonds?

  • @TroyD199 lol you gotta hear the remix with Jay. In this version of the song he using the diamond as a metaphor for how solid the roc dynasty is...something that will last forever(H.O.V passing the torch)

  • that means i forgot better shit than you ever thought of

  • best eva eva eva eva eva eva eva eva! :D

  • best eva eva... eva eva

  • this song is deep i remember being so afraid of the video

  • Lupe's is better but this one is good too

  • No when he said Kane it's a biblical allusioin to Kane & Abel. Kane was the jealous bastard who killed Abel (his brother) cuz god liked him more. He was saying that he was like Kane

  • @RFxSamxRF i'm pretty sure he was just saying people couldn't spell his name so they wrote "kayne" before he was famous

  • @RFxSamxRF LOL!!! You're reading way too much into it. LMAO!!! God is also supposed to be capitalized whether you believe in him or not.

  • @dejioncampus2 Thats not true. I know many people how do not capitalize god on principle, to show that they do NOT believe. Not everybody takes the bible literally and they would leave it lower-case to let the reader know their belifs may not be the same.

  • his names kanye not Cane lol

  • @raginas he meant kayne 

  • @raginas kaye not kane

  • one of the best beats of all time, imo.

  • wheres the version where he says

    "im not a business man im in business, man. so stay out of my business, damn"

    ???

  • @TheThirdParty100 the remix to this song. and its hov who said it not ye.

  • @TheThirdParty100 that one is featuring jay -z, he has 2 different versions

  • @TheThirdParty100

    Look up Diamonds are forever the remix ft Jay Z, that's his famous quote.

  • this is kanye west most heartfelt track for those who are modern day slaves due to this evil world

  • I love this song!

  • this song made me love hip hop, it inspired me to rap

  • missed this song holy shit

  • this is good but i think lupes is better

  • @69longboarding lupe fiasco fucking sucks

  • @imcool783 how

  • @jacksonrrr lupe fiasco always sounds like a complete fag

  • @imcool783 Why because he actually talks about something

  • @imcool783 Kanye uses autotune. Enough said

  • @69longboarding so what he uses auto tune he is still ten times better than lupe and if you think kanye is such a faggot than why do you even go listen to his videos. if you don't like him than get the hell out of here you douch bag

  • @jayyeon I listened to this song to campare his to lupe's and turns out that lupe's is better. You think auto tune is cool or something? Auto tune is for no talent losers that wish they could sing. I think kanye has changed for the worst. Ive only heard a few good verses from him and that was from his earlier music.. If you dont like arguing then dont argue, and besides you suck at it.

  • @69longboarding he uses but doesn't abuse it, as tool when it benefits/ adds to the song.

  • @69longboarding okay your point....we all know he uses it some time, great job admiral obvious, yo obvious ass is way past captain

  • @vickryan27 sometimes? come on man he made a whole album with it

  • @imcool783 Dont even get me started

  • @69longboarding Lupe talks about dinosoar caves (lmaooo) he has like one good song vs. Kayne/Jayz who has Dozens of good songs!

  • @MiSzManDyPanDy Dude bullshit Kanye is a faggot who used to be good until he started using autotune and has whack ass beats and lyrics. Do some homework kid, lupe has tons of good songs, conflict diamonds, hurt me soul, daydreaming, shining down, hip hop saved my life, dumb it down, superstar, im beeming, handcuffs, kick push, and paris tokyo for starters, and you think Jayz is good! Fucking illuminati douche, his big ass dick sucking lips spit nothing but shit.

  • @MiSzManDyPanDy ok? have you heard daydreamin? hip hop saved my life? im beamin? if that isnt enough, check out his mixtapes

  • for eva eva? EVA EVA?

  • why isnt their a continuous replay button on YT?

  • @MrBlackfish011

    youtubeloop(dot)com

  • @roxxlol88 thanks

  • why is kanye so shit now and not like this?

  • @ZAXXXXXZBAMNAXXVER That illuminati shit is getting to him....SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!

  • "if your a stripper named porsha gettin tips from many men

    well then her fat friend

    her nick name is mini van"  LOLOLOL

  • I love this song but I feel like lupe's version is better because it's more about the actual conflict of blood diamonds unlike kanye's.

  • best song alive.

  • BBOY DARKNESS!!!!!

  • Nice song Kanye......someday i gonna beat yah..

  • the roc is still alive everytime i ryme? he should leave the roc behind, he is holding up this whole label by himself... kanye is a true genius.

  • Lupe did this shit sooo much better.

  • Just made a Diamonds from Sierra Leone remix! Mashed up with RJD2!! Please rate and subscribe i know youll like it....
