Kanye West before the fame....

[MuLtIJoKer786]

i miss the old Kanye, but he wanted to chase that paper and wanted that spot light so you know, he wanted that fame and fortune and he got it. and there's two ways of rising, you either work hard and stay loyal and stay true to urself and ur fans... or you make that deal and get that dirty money.

[Mrlivn4Christ]

What does it profit a man to gain the world but loose his soul.

[YouhAdoreMehh]

[1KillaSkrilla1]

hahaha Conway West

[colouredbills]

kanye most overrated artist of all time

[joacosera]

@colouredbills ok you haven't heard any of his albums.

[larsy1313]

YO CHECK OUT

Eli G - Keep On Going

[MrLucasD123]

I loved old kanye but new kanye got wierd and gay. He made real hip hop relevent, even the Underground fucked wit it. I find his music now to be to club-ish and non-relatable to me. But I surprisingly liked Watch the Throne. I got mad love for Jay-Z and the beats were pretty dope. Sorry Kanye you have lost my love for a while now

[DTAProduction]

check out my beats

[bombaymatt]

@BLyricalMusic...I have posted quite a few replies to you, i cannot see any now so i will have do them all again, 

[bombaymatt]

@Krazykaka...FUCK YOU PUNK.....you dont know shit about REAL hip hop you fucking chump!!!! Fuckin Kanye gayfish faggot clothes designing bitch fan xxxxx

[bombaymatt]

Well i think his producing as you call it is also shit, and no i havent heard nothing but his so called [s]hits, why would i listen any further when the hits are that bad, so you are right that i do not know an awful lot about his music, the stuff i heard was shittomy ears so that was enough thanks.

[silverbackcmac]

Karnwaye West hahah

[Quake2815]

what the beat? thats all i wanna know.

[TH3L4GH1NGM4N]

what's the beat that's playing through the majority of the video

[BLyricalMusic93]

@TH3L4GH1NGM4N "Half Price" by Kanye West

[kudude25]

Kanye is such a legend. He proved that you dont have to sag your pants low and rap about weed and drugs to be a good. He brought his own style of expressing himself into rap. Wearing bright colors and flashy brands. Such an innovator.

[TheViolenceMan]

@kudude25 i bet you listed to 3 rappers in your entire life. who the fuck cares about clothing? the real good rappers also don't rap about drugs. they don't wear flashy shit like this fag, they don't rap about their big ego like this fag, and they're great. immortal technique , vinnie paz, those are the real rap. i you think this faggot that only rap about himself is great because he don't wear baggy pants you are retarded

[DrizzttheSlayer24]

@TheViolenceMan Lol man you sound like on of those trashy kids who thinks their know everything about rap cause they've moved on from Eminem to Tech and Vinnie Paz... You still got a lot to learn about the culture that is hip hop.

[JackDaScarecrow]

WE HAVE CONWAYYYYYY  WEST...........

[jpend86]

He doesn't even go to source awards anymore. What a dick.

[ghgyy1]

"we have kanwe west" "yo thats kanye k a n y e " ahahahahha fuckin dumb

[Kerleyyy]

Never thought id see kanye in a bucket hat...

[ArtificialInfinity]

We have Kan-Way West.

haha lol

[CAno24forevrNY]

it doesnt matter kanye still sux ass. go slim shady

[Kenny3821]

@CAno24forevrNY You must be white?

[samihawy]

@CAno24forevrNY lol whitefan boy kanye is way better than that freak

[BLyricalMusic93]

@CAno24forevrNY At least Kanye can actually MAKE GOOD BEATS unlike Eminem with his generic Dr. Dre impersonations

[TheDjozer]

once, i fucked a goat

[Kerleyyy]

@TheDjozer as long as you were protected.

[KidWulf]

Thanks to this, I laugh when Kanye trys to act bad.

[bentozzy]

before the fame? i frist heard of him around 99' on harlem world. i guess they mean since he became the guy who said george bush hates black people.

[puppaducka]

@bentozzy His production credits go back to 96. Do your homework..

[bentozzy]

@puppaducka nigga I said "I", key word being 'I" frist heard of him in college around 99. I though who was this kanye fellow, all that came up was this dude from chi town, samples soul tracks and slows them down. Anyways who fucking cares, dont even like this dude no more

[1KillaSkrilla1]

@bentozzy he was on the mase album?...what track. lol i had that shit but NEVER listened to that bs. remember i used it as roach paper and use to scratch shit on the disc hahaha... Mase...lol...

[31MillerTime31]

@bentozzy

Just because you heard of a nigga named kanye west doesn't mean he was famous

[MrVIP1993]

@bentozzy Just becasue YOU knew him, it doesn't mean he was famous LOL there's a difference

[Billyboy2288]

kanye west is fake, can't rap. simple. your not good at rapping. now stop contributing to the death of hip hop, wannabe.

[fallenskater703]

Juelz Santana at 0:26 lol

[Tankfc3s]

at 3:00 a good example of Wiz Khalifa.. meaning a hit single and he wont be remembered.

[habib77fm]

@Tankfc3s umm you know Wiz Khalifa has had a couple of #1 tracks through the years? He had a hit single back in like 06 or some time around there...

[TophenSossBacks]

@Tankfc3s wiz built a underground buzz and had two record deals already hes been known underground since like 2007 and been going on tour for just as long

[HaRdSoFtThInGs]

@Tankfc3s You are most likely a listener to the modern rap which is shit tbh, more dance and less meaning in the lyrics. . Kanye west has slowly turned into this whilst wiz hasnt. Wiz raps arent commerical and when they are like black and yellow and roll up they get to number one. . you couldnt have been more wrong.

[BLyricalMusic93]

@HaRdSoFtThInGs "Wiz raps aren't commercial"

I'm sorry but when you get Jim Jonsin, Benny Blanco and Lex Luger to produce songs for your album that weren't EVEN the hit singles, you're commercial.

[BLyricalMusic93]

@Tankfc3s Tankfc3s you're actually about half right, Wiz won't be remembered 5-10 years from now like Kanye will but he's already had a good share of hit singles (which is unfortunate, considering how average he is, and that's coming from somebody who's lived in Pittsburgh his entire life).

[Skodvain]

@Tankfc3s cause wiz khalifa hasnt been doin mixtape upon mixtape upon mixtape before makin blacknyellow? He got a SOLID fan base

[MrDevanteCPT]

@Tankfc3s What? Wiz been doing his thing since 04 he built his fan base "SELF MADE" not like bitchass niggas these days that try to get signed by big names...um kanye->Jay-z

Drake->Lil wayne, etc

[yak6ex]

Who the fuck is "Kan-wey" I thought it was Kanye.

[crrofts]

@yak6ex lol did you not watch like 2 seconds after when in corrected her..

[mobspeak]

@adamb886 yeah .. either that or, had a cock in his ass.

[mobspeak]

[PRIETOB0Y]

[GaoGao56]

Who else thinks it's funny that you can probably point out the uneducated black guys from these comments. "I've heard beeter rappers...lokk at the pic...mississizzipi".....what?

[0oOMNIo0]

@GaoGao56 and your telling me your brain cant figure out what hes trying to say? for gods sakes hes even spelt the word in terms of how it sounds ... Beeter instead of beater....lol and you still cant figure out what hes saying...looks like you are the uneducated ignorant white FOOL...get your head outa your arse and stop tryna be a smart ass!!!

[za09s]

@bombmaymatt

First of all you probably is not a big hip hop fan like me and other peoples out their kanye west was a dope rapper up until 808 heartbreaks and then he became like a pop singer but college dropout late registration and graduation was classics for hip hop and gay z as you refer is jay z dumbass he is probably one of the greatest rappers to ever make it in the game you probably like soulja boy or some gay ass new rapper with no flow and pointless lyrics so go shove a cock in your

[bombaymatt]

This so called rapper still aint done any good shit, i heard that crap with him and Gay Z murdering Otis Reddind on record, Compete shit, i ve heard beeter rappers on youtube who aint even famous. The guy, sorry gay should fuck off now, for me he is playing a big role in the death of real hip hop music. A chump pretender to the thrown, lokk at the pic, looks like a mississizzippi? fisherman....sorry GAYFISHerman........pya pya [laughing to myself]

[qw2589]

If America had real culture and music, morons like Kanye West wouldn't be rich right now and talk like morons, they would be cleaning streets where the belong

[tooofreshfortv]

@qw2589 actually kanye is a lyrical genius with deep meaning rhymes unlike drake and wayne> he deserves respect, he came from the bottom and rose to the top. G.O.O.D Music boi

[qw2589]

@tooofreshfortv Ya it shows, he is better than Shakespeare even though he knows 50 words of English.

[tooofreshfortv]

@qw2589 think what you want, but if you could do better, why dont you? And at the end of the day he is still a millionaire but your'e entitled to your own opinion

[qw2589]

@tooofreshfortv If he can get millions saying garbage more power to him, I am a capitalist, I am criticizing him socially.

[tooofreshfortv]

@qw2589 well honestly no one cares if your a capitalist. but go ahead and listen to his song roses, and then listen to addiction and his other great songs before 808s and heartbreak. he is very deep and even though he made mistakes in life, only God can judge. But he still has shown he deserves respect, unlike people who critisize over Youtube.

[BLyricalMusic93]

@qw2589 I'm assuming you're interested in politics with the capitalist remark? Then it's interesting that you would criticize one of the most political rappers in mainstream hip hop today as if you've actually listened to his music. Ever heard "Crack Music", "Gorgeous", "Heard 'em Say", "Roses", "Murder to Excellence" (just to name a few) that contain political messages? Of course you haven't! Because you're the "cultured" American who criticizes artists whom you know nothing about.

[12lele]

Great producer, criative,talented, but Too Imature for his fame...Hope it´s a learning process for him, ain´t easy, but should grow up.

[bombaymatt]

And to say to haters stuff about his monies is silly too, its not your monies, and guess what shallow fools, theres more too life than having monies, especially if it turns you into a total idiot, like KarnYAY.

[SirSoloDolo33]

if they hate then let em hate n watch the money pile up

[Gleecko3]

If that woulda happened today he wouldve snatched the microphone and said "Diane Swayer had the best interviews of all time." LOL

[RebootedMachinima]

bitch your black and you don't know how to say KanYE name

[jc28903]

Haha kanwe rest

[TheYUNG19]

They say you're not suppose to have sex until you married. That's why the bible never talks about you actually cheating on your girlfriend. Because you don't suppose to have sex with your girlfriend. see we all in a ram in the wrong to start off with

[cityking9ne]

@TheYUNG19 "realm of the wrong " to start off with.

[TheYUNG19]

@cityking9ne lol i was close

[ColonClosebrackets]

1:09  You know you are a boss when even your mom's doctor walks away from interviews.

[indio2dr]

Conway.

[bombaymatt]

I think ConwayWest is a more appropriate name, especailly the CON part, his whole imge is a con, his music is shit and a con, when 2003 comes up on the screen, do they mean how may teeth Conway has, what a faggitt, all ego, yet NO talent, i bet he'd rather have a slow grind as he says......with a man....the batty gayfish moron

[Hyder305]

@bombaymatt Have you ever actually heard any of his music?

[bombaymatt]

@Hyder305 Yes....its like shit to my ears. He is not even a credible MC, the biggest joke in hip hop for me,

[RandomMessiah]

@bombaymatt he is not even a rapper. if what he does can be called rap, than every human can be considered a rapper.

[kevinny23]

@bombaymatt Haters are his biggest fans like they say thats why you looked this video up in the first place these videos get more hits from haters like you then fans lol

[bombaymatt]

@kevinny23 Haters are the biggest fans? is that why i have every public enemy record made, but none by conway pest. I heard a song called love lockdown, not even attempting to rap on this one, i havent heard many worse so called songs, also i dont get why everyone is so up his arse, you people like whatever shit is thrown in your faces it seems, i looked at this video, mainly to back up my theory that he is a total twat, and a fake ass rapper. He is shit and has too many teeth. Fashion sense gay

[BLyricalMusic93]

@bombaymatt You say you've "heard his songs" and then use Love Lockdown as an example... You like old school rap? Here: Drive Slow Everything I Am The Glory Chain Heavy The Joy PrimeTime Otis This Way The Food The Corner Go! Never Change Start the Show School Spirit Monster Good Friday Barry Bonds Line for Line Get By (Remix) They Say All old-school sounding Kanye tracks. Nothing annoys me more than people who talk about artists that they know NOTHING about.

[bombaymatt]

@BLyricalMusic93 Yes i saw that shitty song on MTV, its not like i went out and listened to it, what i was in fact doing when i watched MTshiityV was seeing many suckas out there use autotune these days,,, fuck even Snopps doin it..sellouts in my book.and regarding your Kanye being a dope producer go check out hank shocklee, the bomb squad, some of them samples you can barely hear are in the record, its that subtle, and if the otis song you mention is the try a little tenderness sample its wac

[bombaymatt]

@BLyricalMusic You gotta admit love lock downs a totally gay song...its terrible, so my point with that one is why did he do it...you wouldnt catch KRS-1 doin something like that..do you like any oldskool music, i could give you a list of records i have, are you American?? coz i can send some good UK stuff too..let me know coz if im gonna waste any time listening to your kanye list, you could at least do the same with some stuff i like. We both might learn something!!!

[Krazykaka]

@BLyricalMusic93 lol you only named like 1/4 of his good songs dont even bother with this guy fuck him for real

[BLyricalMusic93]

@bombaymatt Also worth mentioning that of all the 20 songs I mentioned with an old school sound he had a hand in making the beats for 18 of them. You need to remember that he's a producer first and a rapper second, but then again you don't know much about him other than his hit singles do you?

[bombaymatt]

@BLyricalMusic93 You didnt read tings right, i said all i have heard are the commercial tunes...and it aint even hip hop......i might select a few and give them a listen, but dont expect to convert me..apart from me thinking he is a shit rapper which is a fact....he aint no Chuck D is he .anyway apart from that i dont like the fools attitude..its ok to have an attitude if you can back it up....which he cant...either lyrically or physically which is why i think hes a chump. i will try a few songs

[bombaymatt]

@BLyricalMusic93 back to the otis thing, thevideo i saw on some tim westwood thing...i think kanye and jz are a couple of sold out chumps, and i amall about real oldskoll and the originators, that was my era and since the early to mid 90s in my view apart from a few goodartists or records here and there...hip hop was slowly dying...im going walkies with my dogs but i will be back to conversate with you some more, its a low shot trying to make out i like love locked down playa...speak to ya soonz

[Eddylad2009]

@bombaymatt Jelly?

[SlixtaMalone]

@bombaymatt You should be thanking him for the inspiration. If he got as big as he is with no talent, there's clearly hope for you, even if you can't spell. "Especailly" considering how focused you are.. Oh my bad, there's no awards or cash prize for biggest Hater is there.. Maybe that's why you're Hating... If he's so taletless does that mean you watched just to hate...??? Who's the Moron?????? Seriously!!!

[youlittlerocket]

Kanye gave his mother up for fame

[SPIDER]

@youlittlerocket

How do you think so? You're looking from the outside, you don't know shit about him and his fam. Stop making drama and worry about your shit.

[rgw91]

@youlittlerocket how disrespectful are you kidding? do you know how proud she was to raise a man like him? i wish i could slap the fuck out of you little shit.

[youlittlerocket]

@rgw91 your right she was proud, but Kanye's a sellout mother fucker and would of sold his gran given the choice, so go suck Kanye's dick you Faggot

[cHaOsTw3nTy4]

@rgw91 you do not know how disappointed she would be of him. selling his soul to the Illuminati. kanye was good, is good, but i cannot like a devil slave. i just cannot.. lupe fiasco reminds me of kanye but lupe is pure.unlike kanye.

[TheSuperOtis]

What's the song?

@Shazaan1 Seriously, you and the 19 people that liked that are idiots. It only works like that for smart people and for you to believe that means you're stupid.

[KendallMurray]

I'm sorry, I love the new and old Kanye West. I'm sorry his mom died, that must have been painful, I can't imagine, it seems that he really loved her.. I mean, I love my mom.. But he gets a lot of heat from people for his cockiness and what he did to Taylor Swift... You know, just imagine being him.. made some mistakes, but still, you have feelings and a desire to be loved. So why not give Kanye West a chance?

[to480]

wats the song name .. the intro

@to480 Kanye West- Stronger

[krischaoz]

.....conway west?

[crzune]

some of you guys are so quick to judge just imagine if you lost your mum and girl and the same time it messes with your head, and you can see the effect it had on kayne but don't get me wrong I don't agree with what he's doing now.

[DollFaceVixen14]

I MISS THIS KANYE WEST!! SEEMS HE CHANGED FOR THE WORST WHEN HIS MOM DIED :( I WANT MORE COLLEGE DROP OUT

[2psah]

@DollFaceVixen14 U mean when he sacrifised his mother!

[DollFaceVixen14]

@2psah uhhh no!! im tired of everybody and this fuckin illuminate shyt or however its spelled. like yea i think he lost his faith a lil after she died and maybe he did join it cause he use to talk bout god n jesus alot now hes more into the dark side. but to say he got his mom killed for fame is beyond dumb he loved that woman more than life its self! i think he woulda sacrifised someone else closer to him not his mom so foh!

[2psah]

@DollFaceVixen14 People will do a lot for fame and fortune! But it doesnt matter, believe what u want! Stay a sleep or wake up! Stop adoring people like they are gods!

[DollFaceVixen14]

@2psah i dont adore no one like their God thats a SIN. theres only one god and thats the man above us. i kno ppl will do anything for fame and fourtune that i agree your right! but im always awake never sleep kno that! but why does every other artist get flack but beyawnce aka beyonce gets all thee praise fuk this industry.

[showtimefifty]

I think her mic was just a prop on the first clip

[KiiNGofLONDON]

what is the instrumental playing in the background throughout?

[Shadowburn13]

Lmaoo considering the legend he's become I would love to show this video to the woman who messed his name up

[TheGlobalMisfit]

Big ups Big Tree TV for capturing this footage. Man I miss the old Kanye smh. He's still a dope producer, but his content and compositions now really lost the SOUL in his music. disturbing now. I admired his work at 1st because he was the 1st to made it ok and trendy for rappers to have an average joe image instead of hardcore gangsta & dance songs which were the only route for fame. There'd be no lane of mainstream Drakes, Wales or Lupes without his blueprint. He lost his soul when his Ma died.

[darkmoonninja1]

wats tha opening song?

[gflymoney6]

@darkmoonninja1 are you serious?

[darkmoonninja1]

@gflymoney6 no im just kidding

[therock505505]

is that was in 2003?

[jason854656]

i dont get why people say kanye is a dick or stuck up or something, he's like one of the VERY VERY VERY few celebritites who ACTUALLY talks normal. Because theyre celebriiies they always have to say it was great working with so and so , what do you think of so and so oh i think hes one of the most talented actors/musicians out there blah blah blah and my personal favorite, "working with blah blah blah was just an honor and he/she is one of the funniest people i've ever met" kanye west just says

[jason854656]

@jason854656 what he actually thinks and not something thats been written for him to say in an interview

[jeanbaptiste9]

You all talk so much about Kanye, But he is who he is...He is himself not some fake that "acts" for the masses. Not many people can keep it 100...
