Kanye x Bon Iver's Justin Vernon at Bowery Ballroom: "Lost in The World" LIVE

[StandardofPurity]

What a SHIT crowd

[Jizzsnypa]

please I can sound like that if the sang thru the back of a fan too...no BIGgie

[francistheindividual]

Incredible collaboration

[Aeysa]

most people dont know Justin Vernon, who's on stage singing. Kanye sampled his song ... [Volcano Choir - Still] ... and made it to a great song! i enjoy both of there music. anything Justin does is amazing anyway. :)

[FreddyCazzper]

@Aeysa Bon Iver-Woods actually. Justin sampled himself with Still.

[FreddyCazzper]

@Aeysa Bon Iver- Woods actually. Justin sampled himself on Still, haha.

[theollysses]

this is wrong

[AnsarisMusic]

Kanye West and Justin Vernon are both genius artists who respect eachother's raw talent. It's just sad their fanbases aren't open-minded enough to do the same.

[l3etray4L]

@AnsarisMusic Or maybe they just dont think their music is to good. I mean this is terrible. By both singers.

[cmlbelle]

Why do I see BONIVERSUCKS on every video that features Bon Iver. Do you not have a life to be going on every video and insulting Bon Iver???

[fotmusic]

@cmlbelle I know hahaha. I see him on every single one I watch

[ghitasusanne]

I'd sell my soul to have been there.

[QUARELOSO]

Wait ,, This is Awesomeness ..

[AtlantistoInterzone]

Kanye West and Bon Iver haters...don't you have anything better to do than sit through all their videos hating on them?

[l3etray4L]

@AtlantistoInterzone Not a hater of either. This is just terrible from both artists. What are you doing dickriding bad music?

[mrsmartin01]

Fantastic song, great performance!

I just wish Justin's voice wasn't distorted. I think it'd be an even better song with his raw talent.

[standupjack]

@mrsmartin01 it was like this in the original version, too. 

[VICITVIR]

@BonIverSUCKS What exactly is your point in all this? You don't like Bon Iver, so what? Did he screw your mother or something to make you this angry?

[slatejob11]

@BonIverSUCKS why didnt you make an account like justinbeiberSUCKS? or katyperrySUCKS? Bon Iver isnt even that popular. Its like going around telling people not to vote for a great politcian that 3 people have heard of, and letting the corrupt politicion that with 6 million followers get elected. seems like a waist of time

[arindlaub]

@slatejob11 Bon Iver's album debuted at number 2. To say he's not that popular is a little bit of a stretch. I've seen him on the cover of everything lately.

[slatejob11]

@arindlaub He is just now getting popular. i have only heard him on the radio one time, and it was on some obscure station i found by accident. Check the charts for his songs. You probably wont find any, or at least one or two. And BTW, do you agree with BonIverSUCKS?

[mugcheese100]

Haha.. Get out if 2pacs dead arse, he's overrated and it just seems that everyone likes him cos he died..

[Uandr4]

HOLTSHIT KANYE! YOUR SONGS, WITH TRUTH WITH REAL FEELINGS, AWAYS FUCKING AMAZING

[ben10TG]

This isn't music, this is art

Every artist has his or her definition of art... this is mine.

[sheepnote]

@ben10TG Ben, you're a hipster. This is music, and while that still may be and art form, don't be pretentious: it is music.

[ben10TG]

@sheepnote

lol. I didn't write this shit.

What I was trying to say way that.

Kanye West is the best MUSICAL artist out there.

[sheepnote]

@ben10TG Some would argue that it's even music. Bon Iver > Everything > Kanye.

[ben10TG]

@sheepnote

-.- fuck off hater

Can we just fucking agree that Both artists are excellent and that Kanye is a rap genius?

Negro please

[sheepnote]

@ben10TG I don't like rap, he may be a genius in your eyes, but he isn't in mine. However, Justin Vernon is.

[gavpac911]

@sheepnote your a douche, these are most definitly the two most artful musical artists out their and the beauty in this song goes past the realm of simple music. you aslo stike me as an elitist who direly needs to expand his taste in music and appreciate all the intertwining sounds and unique concepts that make kanye west and justin vernon musical geniuses.

[sheepnote]

@gavpac911 I'm not denying that Kanye West may be good at what he does, but it's not my thing.

[gavpac911]

@sheepnote how can you ague that it isnt music. if you are than close minded will you at least its poetry with musical aspects.

[beachgirl987]

It is so strange seeing Justin Vernon in this context (aka the spectacle and what not). I prefer him stripped down and visceral.

[ArseneWengerIsGod]

Everything Kanye West does sucks and will always suck. Period.  Bon Iver rules...but Kanye is a zit on the hemmoroid on the ass of music.

[br00talKidHxC]

@ArseneWengerIsGod Favourite artist?

[ArseneWengerIsGod]

@br00talKidHxC Hard to say just one...Radiohead, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Bonobo, Bob Marley, The Beatles...something like that.

*As for rap, it's The Roots, 2Pac, De La, PE, Tribe Called Quest, and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

[br00talKidHxC]

@ArseneWengerIsGod Lol can't even hate on you man! surprised you don't like Kanye though. Great taste though :)

[ArseneWengerIsGod]

@br00talKidHxC Cheers!

[luckysilviano]

@ArseneWengerIsGod You talk like a typical hater. You have our pity. Kanye West > Bob Marley.

[ArseneWengerIsGod]

@luckysilviano HAHA...if you say so. Fucktard.

[CCRecords1]

Does Any One Know the effect that Justin Vernon has on hes voice?!?

[TheAtlasTheory]

@CCRecords1 Sounds like auto tune with a harmoniser.

[Kidprodigy07]

I appreciate Kanye for not being afraid to step outside of "genre rules" and collaborate with someone like Justin Vernon. Most artists are too afraid to step outside of their respective genres to do something unprecedented. Much respect to these two for crafting something beautiful together

[sarcasmmister]

if you had told me 3yrs ago that justin vernon would collaborate with kanye west i would've laughed at you and told you to go get some medical advice. but it happened and wow it worked out well.

[reggyreg1]

anyone know what machine he's using for his voice coz its giving multiple layers and keys as well as acting as an audio processor?

[Recycleplease27]

great spot!

[pedi007]

Kanye has come sucha long way on musical level. He keeps making new sounds every album.

[kenzielenzie]

Mama Donda's Son<3

[megadarkcrusader]

THIS IS FUCKING TALENTLESS. WTF IS THIS PIECE OF SHIT???????

[BigTerrio]

@megadarkcrusader one of da fuckin haters....just dont watch kanye west videos when you get onto youtube

[megadarkcrusader]

@BigTerrio i wast just checking him live. so i haven't just search his musik for hating. but this is horrible? why all that synthesizing...

[kozzymotto3]

@BigTerrio

I also just wanted to see this live, and i agree with megadark

this IS horrible

Iv listened to for emma at least 100 time start to finish, no disrespect to vernon, but this is bad

[BigTerrio]

MBDTF SHOULD BE ALBUM OF THE YEAR AT THE GRAMMY'S NEXT YEAR

[welldonefromhereon]

@BigTerrio no doubt.

[DamnXiCoo]

mama DONDA'S son :')

[earlylatebrunch]

public visitation, we met at borders

[LinkThatLove]

I cant believe this isnt up for album of the year in the grammies

[soxfan91293]

@LinkThatLove ik...but it came out late. ill be pissed if it loses for 2011 album of the year

[ericcartman89]

Huge Bon Iver fan, but I bet Justin felt uncomftable here.. Up tempo music with autotune and freaking light show, this is not him!

[jakeadamsonmusic]

@ericcartman89 well its vocoder not auto tune im pretty sure and he uses that on his blood bank ep

[ericcartman89]

@jakeadamsonmusic don't be a smartass, you know what I mean, dipshit

[s22film]

@ericcartman89 haha u mad, he was informing you, to educate you, no harm meant. REAL Bon Iver fans are chill and don't lash out like that ;)

[chifi55]

@ericcartman89 Stupid!

[georgebeaman]

@ericcartman89 haha. Justin Vernon is doing coke off some model's tits right now with Kanye. I'm sure he's fine.

[ericcartman89]

@georgebeaman haha u mad!

[tennisguy4657]

i always have a musical orgasm in this song when the girls voices come in... its just so good. this album is art

[ThaFantastik1]

some people just love to hate on progression...

[JObutarimon]

This is one of my favourite songs on the album! Its seriously is so amazing! Kanye always collabs with the BEST.

[TheMassline]

@Lukesimsmusic i have heard the original pretty much autotune can't complain music comes from the heart not the machine people don't seem to understand.

[Casey9256]

i don't know why justin vernon would agree to this collab. i like some of kanye's stuff, and all of bon iver's... but this song really rapes a great heartfelt song.

[Casey9256]

i don't know why justin vernon would agree to this collab. i like some of kanye's stuff, and all of bon iver's... but this song really rapes a great heartfelt song.

[TheAwesomeBomb]

This song is way too good to be true

[teeteehendrix]

love it,sex for my ears

[vSupermanv]

make an mp3 of this please

[OHstephplease]

IS JUSTIN ON TOUR YET?!

[kayjaybee616]

i love how the tool in front is rocking out - out of time, haha - and this is a travesty.

[tinkerliz909]

Your my heaven, your my hell....got this song on repeat!!!<3

[jahwill15]

this needs to be a single

and the bon iver does the original version niceee

[jahwill15]

this needs to be a single

[peumnokchick]

Anyone else disappointed to hear Justin's voice distorted? His voice is so beautiful otherwise. West could have gotten Kid rock to do this. Why not utilize Justin's talent. I would like this way more w/o the distortion, I can't wait for voice changing crap to go out of style. Still <3 Bon Iver tho!!

[superorange42]

@peumnokchick You do know that the original song (Woods) had distorted vocals too right? It's obviously used for artistic effect here.

[104Geon]

@peumnokchick have you heard the original version of this song? lolz

[TheSoundOfHush]

@peumnokchick Dude, please fuck off. I appreciate that you love his music and his voice but please keep your mind open. If you had, you may have snooped around and discovered that Kanye actually built this ENTIRE song around JUSTIN'S song "Woods" which was written and released a few years back.

[soxfan91293]

@TheSoundOfHush and where was the song then...hes helping justin out

[ManHeyThere]

@peumnokchick .. It's not autotuned because he can't sing.. it's autotuned because it's impossible to sing like the song needed to be sung that way, and the song wouldn't work without it

[Lyonado]

I co-sign on this song ... Kanye really know how to dig up gems I love Bon Iver's version also!!

[navytaxies]

Justin Vernon. Amazing. 

[edyfreshh]

FUCKING JUMP AROUND DUMB ASS CROWD!

[invertebrae]

anyone else notice kanye get choked up when he says "mama donda's son"? he recovers well but it definitely seems like he breaks down a little bit.

[SaggyJ]

BEST SONG THIS YEAR eff the rest

[Phoenix140222]

amazing!

[mantranova]

Justin Vernon is too cool man 

[ewelllle]

he always does this dope piano breaks on live versions, wish he did it on the album too. he said once, he refused not puttin a slow break on 'paranoid'.

[ewelllle]

kanye's songs r always emotional in every way but this is his most one. i heard it for the first time and it was like BANG.

[Quan12345]

justin vernon is one of my favorite artists

[ilucio28]

this is perferct!! kanye + justin vernon... mama donda's son!!!!!

[mattattacklol]

everyone go out an buy the album if you haven't already! it's a masterpiece!

[rocketman5989]

@mattattacklol i did

[kawaiisis86]

OMG he changed the lyrics back to 'mama donda's son' so beautiful!!

[JofusSunshyne]

@kawaiisis86 ; I voted this down by mistake, sorry, was meant to thumbup!

[kawaiisis86]

I love this song SO MUCH!

[MacManiacAttack]
