What I like about Kanye is that he has a motive for writing/making songs and he puts all his emotion from past experiences into his work. One of the last few artists who actually care for his music and not just for the big paycheck that follows...
This shows exactly why Kanye West is one of the greatest of all time , who cares about him sometimes being arrogant ? Or not thinking first and then talking ... Kanye West is a GENIUS , no denying after seeing this performance . This made me a Kanye-fan .
I remember watching this when it barely came out on MTV, it blew me AWAY. I thank God for this man because....it opened up my eyes on Hip Hop more as well as his first album being my first CD. Looking back now after all these years...its still amazing. Long live Kanye West.
@Brownvg you tryin' to say he wrong? blacks that trace their ancestry further and further notice everyone was born here until it eventually reaches africa meaning we were sold by our own people.
@JiMMyJaM08061991 so i'm assuming that you think black people where just one big happy family on the continent and decided to sell some black people, ignoring the fact that the europeans played different factions against each other in order to gain control of the lands and resources quite similar to what is going on in middle east, you know support israel with money and the best weapons against palestine
@Adjei88 no the kings and ruler sold the tribespeople to europeans for a shit load of cash. im just saying if slavery still existed africa probably wouldnt be a 3rd world country.
@JiMMyJaM08061991 Or the nations which stupidly trusted the europeans sold away their enemies who had been captured in battle or were seen as traitors. if slavery still existed Africa would still be a 3rd world country, you have to understand that european coming to africa only benefited the europeans they removed well established societies and culture based on their belief that they were superior and african or "negroid" weren't they were apparantely "civilizing" the savage
@Adjei88 no it ddnt dont u know history. africa was rich. the wueens and kings and leaders let the europeans take the tribes people cos they got a fuck load of cash. im not saying it was right im saying it happened. i read the autobiography of a slave and it was talked about.
I was there when this was shot. I was there as part of the crew just there to do a job I had little idea of who Kanye was then and part of my job was to usher the crowd in. They were so excited and I had no idea why. When I finally felt and saw how everyone in the crowd knew all the lyrics I understood. He was in complete control from the lights to every sound. As someone just trying to do my job it was frustrating at first but I I understood when I saw how the unpaid crowd was so excited.
@mycallwasanswered hes probably regretted it now i mean he doesnt even make music anymore i think we should all jus forget about it he probably was hung over
"Whether I say something that right, or the wrongest thing you've ever heard, it's always from my heart, it's always from my soul, it's always me, Kanye West."
I guess we should've seen Taylor Swift coming... Not that i give a shit about Taylor Swift
