Kanye West - School Spirit - uncensored

[overbyjames]

Lol I'm supposed to be doing my homework right now.

FUQDATSHIT!

[DEFSCOTTYB]

Great production on this song... perfect drums, 808 drops, keys and samples, nice. Who did he sample for on the sped up vocal samples? works perfect in there. Kanye makes some hot beats, that runnaway beat gives me chills man.

[TheKVProductions]

One of my favorites of his.

[bawona]

school spirit mutha fucckkkuuuuhhhh

[bawona]

raw swaggin

[andiebear1515]

the old kanye was sooo swaggin

the new kanye is more artistic, but still good

all kanyes are good :)

[mikefian]

Wu-Tang clan ain't nothin to fuck wit.

[bawona]

@mikefian that was so random.. its not even close to the same time as this song...

[mikefian]

@bawona I know, but listen to the end of the song "I feel a Wu comin' on cuz / WU!, WU!"; sounds like a shoutout to me.

[662chillin]

*does his Sigma Step in the comments section*

[DEFSCOTTYB]

Nice freakin song... craziest samples ever.

[ivansharris6]

KAPPA STEP!!!!!

[RrRroucha]

@ivansharris6 SIGMA STEP!!!!!

[TheDavizzy]

This inspired me to drop out...

[tian170]

@TheDavizzy ...then you're retarded.

[IcePickSnowmanzzzz]

@TheDavizzy your joking right

[EmobagelsRAGE]

why is the censored version of this on the album?

[regloh666]

@EmobagelsRAGE i added the answer to the description.. "The reason it was censored is because the sample he wanted to use from Aretha Franklin he could use, but he couldnt curse on it. That's why it's censored on the explicit version too"

[tmcna]

@regloh666 where did you find this version?

[regloh666]

@tmcna i just searched for it with google and find it. but i dont remember the page..

[ryanjeffk]

@TheDeLaKore *makes the noise when you get a question wrong on a low-budget game show* America was founded on Tobacco and cannibals at Jamestown. So everyone needs to go and buy some cigarettes and eat some human to embrace your heritage.

[k0ehl3r]

Kanye > All.

[TheBeatleboy64]

Awesome. Only because it uses awesome old school music.

[BoHoVsGolf]

"this nigga graduated at the top of my class! i went to cheesecake and he was a motherfuckin waiter there!" that line makes me smile everytime

[cassianocemanos]

I think Alvin and the Chipmunks made a great job in this music

[zitzblitz123]

@cassianocemanos yes i said the same thing i believe thats kaynes super heroes lol

[demon95951]

ohh you graduated... no i decided i was finished Lol

[fmrules97]

underated my arseee

[Haayyyden]

I like this old Kanye. I like new Kanye! I like all Kanye. Kanye.

[Nerdsftw2124]

old school kanye. this is the good shit.

[TheDeLaKore]

College doesnt mean you'll be succesful. It may give you the tools you will need to accomplish what you want, but at the end of the day, success is only measured by YOU and what makes YOU HAPPY!!!

thats what Kanye is talking about..stop following the system...America was built on innovators, If you want to find your place, you'll have to do the same thing. Thats the music of life, find your own beat...

[Voppful]

m at school studying financial planning, blast this song on loud when m in that fuckit mood.... oh well n to everyone else study if u wanna dint if you don wanna... but dont blame KANYE he made it!!!!

[poetmm]

its funny how people say this album is underrated when its his highest sales album to date

Told 'em I finished school and I started my own business

They say "Oh you graduated?"

No, I decided I was finished- story of my life until i realize damn i need to finish school but i did though lol

[backwardshoe]

@poetmm Underrated doesn't really relate to sales, though.

[poetmm]

@backwardshoe

yes it does because its his highest selling album that means people love this album and most people will tell you they wish this kanye was back just saying and also kanye got everything he deserves for this album ten grammy nods classic under his belt so this album is not underrated

[adamisokayman]

@poetmm underrated is a good thing

[DreamsInHD]

i looove this song and the chorus :) oooooo hecky naww that boy is raw

[cudelhiphop]

what Aretha song did he sample?

[Leonar12345]

@cudelhiphop spirit in the dark

[90210qorqeouschick]

all time colleqe sonq!.. :)

[pummpuff]

when i hear this song,my head just automatically goes back and forth

[rwack7890]

kanye west endorsed rick perry. wtf has he had a epiphany!

[ResidentialNoise]

@rwack7890 where did you hearr that?

[Joshtheswag]

Underrated Song

[TheBubblezrule04]

this reminds me of simpler times

[TheBlueSockss]

School..

[grizzaceface]

alpha step omega step kappa step sigma step

[BreezyDaSwagMan]

@sexyshorty761 That does not make me a hater, that person's comment using "fucking" in that tone shows a sign of an attitude.

[sovietkush]

thank you based god for kanye west

[hampsoon]

i remember buying college dropout and being so bummed that this song was censored cuz its fuckn bomb, thats for the upload homie

[adneauseum]

fav line: ~told 'em i finished school and i started my own business/ they say "oh you graduated?"/ no i decided i was finished.~

[BreezyDaSwagMan]

How'd you get the uncensored version? I need it.

[TaffyRaphie]

@BreezyDaSwagMan by actually buying the fucking album?

[BreezyDaSwagMan]

@TaffyRaphie You fool, even the explicit album version is censored.

[TaffyRaphie]

@BreezyDaSwagMan really? Mine isn't, and I think mine is just the regular album. huh

[BreezyDaSwagMan]

@TaffyRaphie The reason it was censored is because the sample he wanted to use from Aretha Franklin he could use, but he couldnt curse on it. That's why it's censored on the explicit version too.

[bandicoot2ps1]

@BreezyDaSwagMan I know that's where the vocal sample comes from,but where does the piano come from?

[BreezyDaSwagMan]

@bandicoot2ps1 It's probably just chords played for harmony.

[imCopacetic]

@abankstale he Used an old-school Aretha Franklin sample from the song “Spirit in the Dark”. Aretha gave Kanye clearance for the sample on the condition that the song didn’t have profanity, which is why this song is edited even on the explicit version of the album

[spidaman6891]

Thanks man I was tired of hearing the censored version

[IanHenscheid]

the only people who know kanye are the people who look at ALL his albums. this is real shit, but 3/4 of the people who think they know kanye have probably never heard it.

[djataras]

"back to school and i hated their i hated their everything i want i got to wait year i wait a year."

[hitchhikingdagalaxy]

good tune

[sovietkush]

eww hecky naw this song is raw

[HugodosSantos42]

School spirit mothefuckeeers

[drinkinpartnazcru581]

11 people don't have school spirit...

[vice2vursa]

@drinkinpartnazcru581 no, 14 people have TOO MUCH school spirit.

[EverGreen652]

wow where did you get this song uncensored?

[McFistagon]

he hates white people a little to much....i think this niggas frontn he secretly has a big ass crush on elton john

[xMxYxSxTxIxKxAxLx]

@McFistagon YEAH HE DOES HATE WHITE PEOPLE oops my abd for caps

[cristy12anderson]

D-Phi STEP

[ACMGSD242]

i cud b wrong but did a sig post this

[FINofficial]

its weird hearin this uncensored

[1991joshb]

kanye is underrated

[Gandall13]

@abankstale he sampled a song by aretha franklin, and she wouldn't give him permission to sample it unless he only release the censored version. i'm 99% sure that's why, but i could be mistaken

[JakeMDavey]

@abankstale it's because the sample used is Aretha Franklin and she said she wouldn't authorise the use of her track unless they removed the expletives

[msdanger719]

I listened to this CD all day today, it really is a shame what happened to his music, much less everyone else music too. This is one of the best albums in history in my opinion.

[ColorfulHyena]

Good Life?

[teehowe2]

@abankstale Arethra franklin wouldnt approve the sample if it wasnt censored.

[MasterGio95]

Most underrated album Ye has... and its probably the best.

[mrLoRdofeverything]

@MasterGio95 Agreee

[naphlongs]

@MasterGio95 Nah, his latest one is better. But this is one of the best hip-hop albums ever.

[jelloman17]

@MasterGio95

It is certainly not underrated? Do you know how many people say it is his best album?

And yes I think it could be his best. Personally I like Late Registration, the other albums just don't compare.

Of course with his continually changing style he always has something new, although MBTDF is amazing. And goes up there with CD & LR. It just has a very different feel to it.

[Adopefollowing]

@abankstale Aretha franklin wouldn't clear the sample if it was cursing on the song.

[MrTuffStuffJr]

it was censored because it was in the spirit of school; being innocent

[shadynarkoticz23]

@MrTuffStuffJr no, it was censored because the person that the song with is sampled with, let him sample the song only if it had no curse words.

[shutyourpujol]

nope, he sold out... Anyone who heard his shit from the very beginning knows.

[450kcrackparty]

@shutyourpujol definitely agree with that, seeing what "homecoming" became after home was one of his best songs

[jasfy13]

I swear this song made me smile lol 

[Samuelnavarro]

@abankstale Maybe in the off chance that it'd be played in schools? hahah

[Hammered306]

i have to dump

[angridawg]

"This n*gga graduated at the top of my class,

I went to Cheesecake, he was a motherfucking waiter there"

This line sums up education in it's entirety

[domus1983]

@angridawg haha i grew up in australia and finished high school, then straight to university doing aerospace engineering. now i'm based in england, and i get paid a fuckload to fly around the world playing with planes at airports.

if you're educated and didn't get a rad job, tough luck, keep at it champ.

if you're uneducated, i challenge your authority to make such massive comments.

oh, and suck my balls : )

[frankovich213]

@domus1983 I think you meant to write 'sweeping generalisations' rather than 'massive comments', seeing as his comment was actually quite concise. What would I know though? I'm just an uneducated shit kicker.

[domus1983]

@frankovich213 haha : )

[smartcarrollerskates]

@angridawg shit, its probably even more true now than it was when this came out. half of the people i know who graduate college end up either having to move back in with their parents or are working low paying jobs that they couldve gotten without a degree. college just doesnt give you the leg up it used to at all

[merikijiya]

im a start to tell you that im reli qrown you can see the words you cant read the bold yes im in the end and im in the zone tell your doqs fetch yes please fetch the bones and now i qot you thinkin is she reli known whats these haters sayin learn roesetta stone baby chanqe your voice adults chanqe your tone now you can see my spirit on the camera phone and you meet the standard but the standards blown your just super hot im koala cold like ice cream but without the cone

[spindatish]

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO KANYE

[calikiddable]

@spindatish he grew up man

[spindatish]

@calikiddable well if growing up means selling out and becoming a pop act, call me an embryo!

[facsimileofaSham]

@spindatish he didn't sell out he's just evolved as an artist. not as soulful anymore :'(

[calikiddable]

@calikiddable idk why people keep thinking he is a sell out thats like calling somebody gay just because they act a different but that person could be completely straight and you can't expect him to rap about the same stuff, its progression man he rapped about girls,college,teachers because that "WAS" his life.

[hotessoneunderthesun]

the bass is great!

[Joe12lfc]

MUTHHHAAA FUCKKKKAAAAAA !!! hahahahahahaha

[regloh666]

Blackwater Refuge - Love for Love

[Kirily80]

@abankstale Apparently it had to do with the fact that Aretha Franklin gave permission to use the song to sample as long as the song didn't have swearing. I guess it hadn't already been written, and cencoring was Kanye's answer. :)

[9Cisar]

oooh hecky naw, that boy is raw.

[hippiezombie]

@abankstale

HAHAHA same here man. To me it'll always be school spirit huffomuthaaaa

[pizzamannate]

this beat is sick

[legendaryicecream]

hi guys, this is V.I.B.E., we’re a rapping-singing duo, and we’re trying to get started early so we can improve and make as much good music as possible before we become fully functioning members of society and all that stuff that really matters in life is bashed out of our brains by 9 to 5s.

But… we got 8 years to make this happen, so :D

come with us on the journey, check out our channel and help two 15 year old Freshmen in their goal of making good music for you. Thanks :)

[DerekBondo]

@abankstale I believe that Aretha Franklin did not want swearing used over the top of her sample.

[UberPastaZombie]

for: RoryYO

i agrea with you fully



[XSanitariuMX3o5]

what baretha franklin song??

[chicityjoka]

@abankstale aretha franklin didnt want them cursing on her song thats why

[XSanitariuMX3o5]

Ima get on this tv mama, ima put shit down

Sound familiar? ;)

[mecbac]

@XSanitariuMX3o5 Welcome to the Good Life!

[XSanitariuMX3o5]

@mecbac there ya go!!

[DemomanDawkins]

Demopan?

"There aint no tuition for havin no ambition and there aint no loan for sittin you ass at home" --Kany West

[thekoppel]

@abankstale Word has it that the sample could only be obtained if the song was censored.

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

I was singing this when they did arethas song at the grammys the other night

[angridawg]

When I hear this song I feel a happiness that I can't even describe

[PlainYork]

@angridawg I know what you mean.

[KidintheBitz]

@angridawg lol foreal

[theRADteepee]

is there an uncensored version of the album with this on it?

[raghraghragh1]

@theRADteepee Nope. I believe Aretha Franklin wouldn't clear the sample if it has swearing on it. Every copy of The College Dropout has the clean version of the song.

[PlainYork]

@raghraghragh1 Aretha Franklin?

[90ldenn00b]

all this is true

[thielcoll]

One of kanyes most underrated songs, phenomenal lyrics

[CyanideTreets]

SCHOOOOOOL SPIRIT MUTHAAA FUCKAAA

[gangstabanks88]

Why Kanye Censored this in the album?

[GeorgeBoltz]

@gangstabanks88 because he wanted to use the aretha franklin sample but she didnt want her tracks to be associated with offensive language so he censored it

[gangstabanks88]

@GeorgeBoltz thank you man...

[MRmorninsunshine]

schoolfukinsucks

[thekoppel]

Uncensored. Very nice!

[gadsiegadsie]

Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there

Everything I want I gotta wait a year, I wait a year

This nigga graduated at the top of my class..

I went to Cheesecake, he was a motherfucking waiter there

I can relate to this song

[BigBry87]

Always felt bad for the Iotas, getting left off the chorus. Alpha step, Omega step, Kappa step, Sigma step. Iota... go sit in the corner alone lol

[VBH120]

this page is his real fans from the beginning not the people that just jumped on the bandwagon

[TwoAverageNobodies]

@VBH120 real talk. i've been bumpin yeezy from the start

[tjakadatsmydude]

Aretha Franklin didnt want him cursing on this song because it was her song he sampled

[dshiznitturk]

wrong album cover bro

[MrUnctarheels5]

one of the most underrated Yae tracks

[CoolerKing37]

Gangstas walk, pimps gon' talk.

[thisiskanyemusic]

this song is defintley in my top 10 favorite kanye west

[pjj1020]

i love this fucking songgggggggggggggggggggggggggg

[GThrasher128]

@abankstale they censor "shit" in through the wire i believe.

[cmbuvi92]

he shoulda made a music video for this

[kdotmj]

Awesome picture

[101commentary]

Heard this for the first time today. Cannot stop listening to it. Beat is too catchy to move onto a different song!!

[RoryY0]

Sickens me when a hungry/soulful Kanye like this gets only 74,000 views and Heartless gets 43,000,000? Something wrong...

[tterrajsirhc]

@RoryY0 yeah, i didnt like heartless like dat either, but white ppl loved it tho

[thatdograul]

@RoryY0 Totally agree. I can't stop listening to this one or "Two Words."

[95thefish]

@RoryY0 lol it's the weird transition from hip hop to pop cultrue dude....you either gain fans, or lose them..... still doesn't destroy the fact that kanye's a AMAZING artist... ! lol

[sniggle101]

@RoryY0 so true. i really like the old kanye. pre douchbag days

[msdanger719]

@RoryY0 Speak that shit.

[greenblobo9]

@RoryY0 people don't have patients for a song without a video

[mal44kb24]

why is this song censored on the album?

[dontbeacoconut]

@mal44kb24 the artist Kanye sampled the song from didn't want him cursing over their track

[kippies83]

love it. 

[youngfreedom93]

i miss the old kanye, this new crap with autotune voice is bullshit! this is the real kanye spirit. to bad he cant realise it himself

[TheWop4life]

@youngfreedom93 his new album is dope man, no auto-tune and i read an artical saying hes done with electro.

[pieman12345678900]

I can't believe he sampled himself.

GOD DAMN HE IS AMAZING.

[rundmp]

sigma chi whatttuppp!
