Kanye West - Gone [Late Registration]

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

If you are reading this comment, you are an actual Kanye fan, not some dickriding bandwagon fan who only likes "Stronger" and "Gold Digger" just because everyone else seems to like them.

[mardini19]

MY LEFT BOX DOESNT WORKK !!!

[NorfBoy24]

I honestly think this is his best ever song. It's just vintage kanye west. Sped up old soul record, clever use of the part of the song to sample, and kanye's last verse is fucking dope. Just genius.

[94Frederick]

fucking awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee



[ballpointkuala]

one of my fav tracks of all time. brings back a lot of memories

[benfica1rox552]

Theres only ONE Kanye West.

[OneAndOnlyMrWest]

@MaKaKitozito The sample song is called 'It's too late' by Otis Redding, one of his best songs in my opinion.

[dontbeawilly]

@OneAndOnlyMrWest speaks the most truth about kanye I've heard in years but then ruins it by spelling 'genius' 'genious'.

[svessarinn]

Camron kills it with his intro

[lynottlives]

best bit is 'Brother Numsya' haha

[OneAndOnlyMrWest]

@bugasmike You take something old that's musical and do something new with it if you're so fucking creative.

[kufelmasakrator]

ekstra!

[Nizwiz411]

Act up? get out. I don't need ya. poof!

[musclesglasses100]

I'm more into heavy metal music now, but its artists like Kanye and beast tracks like this that keep me in touch with my hip hop side

[RoiReiT]

His best song. No arguments.

[burns83]

the genius kanye west. Eat that 'hard' uckers

[BatmanButWithPowers]

Easily the best Kanye song.

[GajanTV]

masterpiece

[LODeadPixel]

I used to listen to this when I was 10 :D

[xSCOTTxSODMGx]

@LODeadPixel smart kid!

[LODeadPixel]

@xSCOTTxSODMGx

??? :)

[xSCOTTxSODMGx]

@LODeadPixel you must have been a smart kid if you listened to this type of music when you were ten lol

[LODeadPixel]

@xSCOTTxSODMGx

I did have an intelligence level above most 10 year old's haha, kanye was my inspiration through school.

[kallywoo1]

Who cares if people are only just discovering KAnye West because of Watch the Throne, I don't get why everyone on youtube has to act like they are so much better because they knew a band or artist before somebody else, just listen to the music and be happy that people are discovering G.O.O.D music

[burns83]

@kallywoo1 Cause people who recognize first are the reason why KW is here. Recognizing is cherished and even gets awarded.

[gekkegerrit11]

'Love Thizzz :-))

(((-:

[MrRudeboy45]

consequence is too ill

[threenumbnuts]

Sorry but Cons' verse is a blemish on this masterpiece.

[rubbercowboy1]

I love chicken

[delight1984]

Knock knock who's there? Killa Cam Killa WHO

[soulshaker205]

Good song but Kanye West ruins it.

[lkmop1]

@soulshaker205 are you an idiot?

[soulshaker205]

@lkmop1 No

[gakama3]

@soulshaker205 Nah Kanye makes this song better..you know.. since he produced it -___-

[soulshaker205]

@gakama3 He ruined Otis' masterpiece.

[gakama3]

@soulshaker205 smh...

[Ilzaza2]

@soulshaker205 no i think u are an idiot..

[Joeri12]

@soulshaker205 Stfu fool.

[1phreshprince1]

I like late reg better than this

[TheJake3161]

CAMS THE MAN IN THIS RECORD!!

[AfroTits]

too bad kanye flipped sides like akanken and sold out for everything including the mannican

[Mandarinovicius]

best song of Yeezy

[KrisOdonoghue]

the very beggining is the best part :D

[Jossito88]

4:11 is where the real song starts

[maclaw94]

@Jossito88 real song starts at 00:00 and ends at 5:28

[Guizmo900]

@maclaw94 In fact it's the real song until 6:03 (real time 6:02). Kanye put a break their to make a distinction between tracklist and bonus tracks

[Bostonofficiall]

@Guizmo900 damn right sir,im sure its like a 20 second break before diamonds?

[Guizmo900]

@Bostonofficiall Yeah right, the original!

[samtate229]

said she want diamonds took her to ruby tuesdays lmao

[magicmc23]

wow, this song gets soooo crazy!

[SheivelyBuisson]

the transition between Cam's verse to that of Consequence is just amazing. Those strings!!!

[Macto5]

Consequence's verse is dope

[OneAndOnlyMrWest]

Every fake Kanye fan acting like Watch the throne was the first time he's ever sampled Otis Redding (the greatest soul singer of all time). He sampled this too, I wonder sometimes if some people have ever heard of Kanye before Watch the throne. Love it when an artist takes something old and does something new with it. Genious.

[MisledProduction]

@OneAndOnlyMrWest And this is infinitely better than Otis.

[BoxOfOranges84]

@OneAndOnlyMrWest I feel bad for people who only know Kanye from Watch the Throne more specifically Otis)....not exactly the best representation of how talented he is

[alanperrier]

@OneAndOnlyMrWest ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

[bugasmike]

@OneAndOnlyMrWest thats really sad if you think thats genious

[eflowman]

@OneAndOnlyMrWest you must like most hiphop then?

[MaKaKitozito]

@OneAndOnlyMrWest do you now the name of the sample song??

[whatthehellvideos]

kanye hit the juggular on that last verse

[DezmondBallins]

Otis was soul's tupac and more! we love ya otis

[benjamm1nn]

this is one of those songs that cam'ron is hilarious yet nice. he has a style like no one else. consequence's verse is crazy though, in my opinion the best verse in the song

[kingdinio]

This CD is so UNDERrated.

[PhiLosofee1]

Anyone that says Kanye is wack now is obviousLy asLeep... Dreamin' in nightmare or some shit...

[LWebb1000]

Kanye was at his best from 2004-2007, he's wack now.

[whoisteddycc]

@LWebb1000 apparently you havent heard of watch the throne

[LWebb1000]

@whoisteddycc It's weak in my opinion.

[alanperrier]

@LWebb1000 MBDTF

[sportsdude8912]

absolutely flawless rap

[sportsdude8912]

this is unreal... vintage kanye i love it so much

[KyleAsaff]

unreal sample

gone >>>>>>>>>> otis

rip otis redding

[TheRealEarsiqRadkeys]

My sweet brother Numsay!

[samisab786]

I love the teddy bear persona. 

[THEBLAKSPADE]

Kanye was good when he came out and made songs with talib kweli and mos def what ever heppend to that!?

[jaityna1]

@THEBLAKSPADE the money

[iArePinkMoon]

@THEBLAKSPADE dude shut fuck up your just like everyone else so you suck its called progression i love this but his new shits good and creative too.so seriously if you dont like his new shit quit bitching clearly your not an artist so you wouldnt understand.

[THEBLAKSPADE]

@iArePinkMoon I am an artist. His new stuff is good but had he stayed on the path he was on originally his more recent material would feaure better artists, substance and sound. Dont get mad.

[69GUNOT]

@THEBLAKSPADE he evolved and made the musical masterpiece that is MBDTF so stop complaining, besides kweli and mos def are both boring rappers

[THEBLAKSPADE]

@69GUNOT Kanye West is the most overatted rapper since Tupac the only difference is Tupac stayed true even when he went commercial

[69GUNOT]

@THEBLAKSPADE how the fuck is he overrated? if anything hes underrated

[69GUNOT]

@THEBLAKSPADE in what way is Kanye overrated? if anything hes underrated, and what u mean by stayed true even when he went commercial? since when did Kanye turn fake?

[THEBLAKSPADE]

@69GUNOT overrated, there are many more artists who are better than him yet they are not on the radio so people just flock to him, he's fake he went from making songs about the everyday working man and family issues to making songs about money and tries to appeal to the douchebags who think their smart and sit at starbucks all day by making dark love songs, Pac still hated illuminati and tried to expose it when he got massive fame, Kanye embraces it.

[DropTheHurl]

@THEBLAKSPADE You wouldn't be able to define Iluminati if it bit you. I like how people like you believe he's a devil worshipper when you know nothing about him.

[THEBLAKSPADE]

@DropTheHurl im not going to try and prove what i know about what to some randy on the internet i understand fully what illuminati is, was and implies i dont have to go into detail, i dont believe he's a devil worshipper, i believe that the people in higher postitions, whomever they may b, are using him to steer the younger generations towards a certain direction in their interest, for thier purpose, it has nothing to do with the devil, that is pure bullshit.

[DropTheHurl]

@THEBLAKSPADE If you can prove this, then I might be able to know where you're coming from. But for right now, if not forever, this is all just an assumption by someone who wanted attention on the Internet.

[THEBLAKSPADE]

@DropTheHurl no this is one too many to assheads that replied to a rhetorical question posted on youtube for the pure purpose of random thought

[arjay92]

@THEBLAKSPADE the fuck outta here u dont know anyone in illuminati and none of your 'research' can be verified lololol stfu

[THEBLAKSPADE]

@arjay92 wow

[THEBLAKSPADE]

@69GUNOT now stop replying to me your the one whos compaining after simply making a statement

[highmountain646]

@THEBLAKSPADE allow dont diss tupac come on

[ecuamike1]

why cant he record shit like this anymore???



[hco323]

i'm pissed. i think i deleted this song! i bought it from itunes. :((( how can i get it back?

[jarvismusic]

perfect flow.... Kanye is not a human.

[MrMummRa]

never mind I get what you was trying to say...ha ha ha funny!

[MrMummRa]

no its...damn Ye it was stupid to diss you even your superficial raps is super official! sick ass line!

[draxcir]

Damn yae I really miss you even your superficial shit use to be super official

[JesusCristo2002]

Jon Brion on the strings.

[MichelleLaBell10]

Damn, this is awesome.

[leeliol]

sick ass sample..otis redding rip...and the start of camron's verse gives me bare jokes !

[pimpsterk123]

That last verse Is one of kanye's best verses ever!

[rayxx15]

They claim you never know what you got 'til it's GONE

I know I got it, I don't know what y'all on

I'ma open up a store for aspiring MC's

Won't sell 'em no dream, but the inspiration is free TOO NICE... nuff said

[blackstyle23]

Otis Redding. miss that guy.

[HiranEdge]

@blackstyle23 isn't this ray charles?

[MIGHTYOMUSIC88]

Late Registration>Every Other Kanye Album



[fulleffect121]

@MIGHTYOMUSIC88 Nah Graduation was a bit better

[BurgerTownFilmss]

@fulleffect121 hard compare them there both great

[chosenxeno]

@MIGHTYOMUSIC88 I was close to thumbing but I honestly think MBDTF is his best. It's a combination of all his work. It's robably a toss up between the 2. Strangely they both fit the place where I was in my life perfectly.

[TheKidReticence]

@MIGHTYOMUSIC88 if thats the case then graduation is coming at a close second

[AA38063]

@MIGHTYOMUSIC88 defooo collage dropout was dope n so was graduation but nothin on classic kanye

[gakama3]

@MIGHTYOMUSIC88 MBDTF and Late registration > Every other Kanye album

FIXED..

[w33dsz]

THAT Was fucking awsome

[skool04]

BEST CD BY KANYE...LATE REGISTRATION

[callumkeohane]

@skool04 college dropout

[Supersomonerandom]

0:05 O OE OEE

[mrcomfortable14]

Kanye fuckin murdered that last part. I love this song.

[zimboy08]

my favourite kanye west song, but this changes as my ipod changes song. they're all perfect

[UhNoHomo]

his best song. no homo but killa sucks this joint up purrty good

[Redonersa]

@UhNoHomo I'm no Cam fan but he most definitely does not suck in this song. He gives one of his finest verses ever. He uses intricate wordplay, for example the dealer lines use Dealer in every context possible.

To go along with this he maintains a good flow throughout.

I do believe however that Consequence and Kanye gave even better performances. Cons's verse and Kanyes last verse are both close to flawless.

[Outspokenbean]

This is still my favorite CD from Ye!!!

[rayallen0]

I really dig the Brion-style outro here, I'm shocked this is one he had nothing to do with.

[grossman825]

i <3 jews and blacks

[kneub6]

My favorite song that he's ever done. Amazing

[flawlessxO1]

Shit. I'd love to be Kanye's intern

[rhiannonalwen]

what is a noosay?

[CoscobisLost]

@rhiannonalwen golden child...watch it..its with eddie murphy..good movie..in it eddie says to the bad guy at the airport OH MY SWEET BROTHER NUMPSAY

[Quake2815]

@rhiannonalwen idk lol

[iiKinqElz]

25 People Stayed .

[jungleboysz]

Fuck That, Kanye West Is flawless.

[vleone48]

what a song

[Leezo2k10]

Cons makes this song great

[EvanderHolyfield7]

fuck that ,every album is flawless

[JPrince0224]

This song is awesome, But hitting play and skipping to 3:30 will change your life.

[showtimeman17]

His inspiring store was G.O.O.D. music productions and consequence switched up on him like anikin and he tried to sell him including the mannequins..... apparently kanye is a fortune teller

[SmokyMcPot480]

Kanye has some sick beats!

[Jaylen4reel]

@SmokyMcPot480

its actually a sample from a song called it's too late by otis redding

sick song still

[DDIXON1994]

25 people have registered late

[FashiionMonsteR]

FUCK THAT. KANYE WEST IS FLAWLESS.

[chrismzac]

u sweat her and i aint talkin bout a coo g , u a big L and I ain't talkin bout cool J...LMAO!!

[MrFoghat40]

Fuck that, rap is flawless

[MCCINable]

Kanye> jayz...im done

[xxDIllINUxx]

see a true rapper takes a bad beat and makes excellent with his lyrics.

Give anybody else this beat, they COULD NOT do this.

Sicker than the flu this song is bullet proof

[ahhimazombie]

omg i i love late registration

\/\/\/\/ new hip hop

[SecondSoul17]

Otis.

[goldandsilverman]

this is such a good song. kanye has been my favorite rapper for a long time

[kimani]

24 of you are Big L's and I ain't talkin bout cool J

[blue987us]

if you dislike this song then you dislike yourself!

[JelaniWAZO]

It is amazing that Kanye used Otis back then and then know...and again, he keeps the additional instrumentals simple in lieu of this man's distinct voice...damn Mr. Redding, nuff love...gone too soon like Aliyah, RNB will neva be the same! Big ups too Keys for reiterating the L verse so many times!!!, I finally heard the whole song....finally!!!

[LILCHIPETTEANGEL]

i remember the old days......CHI TOWN RULES

[WEA41]

Fuck all of that, all of Kanyes albums are flawless. (808's excluded)

[466hummer]

MBDTF = 10/10 MASTERPIECE

LR = 9/10 to 9.5/10 Very Good Album

Dark Fantasy is on a whole different level...

[Megatrousers]

@466hummer

They're both 10/10.

[466hummer]

@Megatrousers

Not quite. LR is very close to a perfect 10. It's just missing that special something that deems an album "classic".

I'd give it a solid 9.5/10

[Megatrousers]

@466hummer

As an album, MBDTF is more cohesive and has more of a concept behind it, but I would say overall there are better songs on LR, and more of them. They're both great albums, really.

[466hummer]

@Megatrousers

True. Although, the album (mbdtf) has enough quality to make up for it's lack of quantity. In my opinion, the beats on mbdtf are completely flawless. Kanye also stepped up his lyricism to a level that I never thought he could reach. On songs like Dark Fantasy and Gorgeous he displays some of his all-time best lyrics and flow. The album is dark. The album is twisted. Most of all, the album is beautiful. It is my favorite hip-hop album of the past 5 years.

[Megatrousers]

@466hummer

To be honest, I only found a few songs on that album that I really liked. Dark Fantasy, Power, Lost in the World, Blame game, and to a lesser extent Monster and All of the Lights. The rest is kinda passable, IMHO.

[alanperrier]

@Megatrousers Have you not heard Gorgeous? Probably Kanye's best lyrics in the whole album

[Megatrousers]

@alanperrier

The lyrics are great, but I find the music itself to be a bit lacking.

[cKunke2]

@466hummer Forget that. MBDTF is one of the most overrated albums of all time. Sure Kanye has the ability and knowledge to make good music, but his whole appeal and intent on this album and the first album and even a little bit on Graduation is almost entirely gone. This has the classic appeal far more than MBDTF does to me anyways

[466hummer]

@cKunke2

Opinion Respected.

[cKunke2]

@466hummer Hahah I probably sounded a bit over the top with my opinion, but it's been bugging me since it came out how everyone hails it as his masterpiece when all the heart and soul that made these records amazing to me is almost all gone. Thanks for respectin my opinion though :)

[466hummer]

@cKunke2

Yeah you are right in that regard. A lot of the heart and soul was sort of "left out" of Kan's new album. Although, the song "Runaway" may have enough emotion to suffice....

And no problem. Always gotta show some good ole R.E.S.P.E.C.T =)

[cKunke2]

@466hummer That's absolutely correct, Runaway was the one exception where I thought he really excelled in that category! Really great song. I just miss the guy that made songs like this... his last verse on this track is one of my all time favorites from any rapper

[jelloman17]

@466hummer

Woah, LR is def a 10.

Not a weak track on there!

I agree with you MBDTF is amazing :D

And of course CD is a 10. Love that style of Kanye.

Only albums with weak tracks are Graduation (which still holds many great songs)

And of course 808's, different genre though, I still like a handful of tracks :D

Fuck it, Kanye West IS my favorite artist, and CD LR Graduation AND Fantasy, and all amazing.

808's is not up there compared to the others, but it is a good album.

[TheGossipGirlSource]

No need to choose between this and Beautiful ... Fantasy, I'll take all Kanye West.

[fastrexh22]

''cuz i dooky'd on any song that they throw me on'' wwwwooooooo mr west

[cutlery12]

this is definitely one of the most perfect albums ever

[FilmsLB]

OTIS RULES

[aaron203aaron]

Kane's best album is Late Regestration, Fuck MBDTF!

[JoseMcFlyy]

I just love how the different beat begins at 3:33... from that point on is where i see Yeezy murdered the shit out of this song!

[Joeri12]

Kanye West ladies and gentlemen! One of the few artists still being true to himself!

[jspang08]

thank god for kanye

[jspang08]

i dont really care for j cole i wish him the best though

[DjSpitta1350]

@jspang08 Hes 1 Of The Realest Out Now
