  • @princescorpio94 thats because ur awesome!! :D

  • OFWGKTA

  • @speeddemon157mph sucks.

  • this sounds like something that would be in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

  • Kanye is a real good performer

  • His passion inspires me so much!!!

    Kanye is so far ahead of the industry, he is the only artist who shapes every aspect of entertainment.......

  • this what i call music

  • He reminds me of Stevie Wonder here.

  • I love Kanye West. He goes all out on EVERY performance, probably one of the most hardworking people in the music industry. He is a true artist.

  • Damn i have to be on a Kanye concert, before i die...

  • those white girls were bumping that shit hard they went h.a.m.

  • God I love this vid...heard it in the fall of 07 when it had around 30,000 views...it should have 20 mill by now but its all good. I almost prefer it this way...my little hidden kanye masterpiece.

  • Goose-fucking-bumps @ 1:41

  • Does anyone know who the guy playing keys/keybass with the bush is?..He played for Common during his Yahoo set and AOL Sessions

  • I want that dame's info on my desk first thing tomorrow morning.

  • @Ajuswannahoop stfu and enjoy the music

  • jesus walks with him, cause he is god

    He really is a true genius to music! ²

  • @pabluh18 Stfu he not god he just has god given talents

  • @pabluh18 Jesus walks with him cause no one else will

  • If i'm ever in an argument defending Kanye and his music (which happens all the time) i'm going to show the person this video. Kanye West is a fucking genius, that's al there is to it.

  • im in love with that girl

  • Comment removed

  • I saw this live in Calgary at the glow in the dark tour, this song nearly made me cry

  • @daheenez

    Do you even know what the song is about?

  • @franciso7 I think there could be a few different meanings to this, but the one that hit me the hardest was following your dreams. Like when you’re a kid you have all these hopes and aspirations, and most people just lose track of all the things they wanted to do and be, I find the whole idea super sad.

  • i didnt know kanye had any music theory knowledge...... im impressed by him, he IS an actual musician

  • @IguanoTwix6942 He's been producing music way before he even started rapping himself. And yeah, people who try to claim he isn't a musician are kidding themselves.

  • Blonde chick at 2:00 looks like she tryna get Kanyes attention!

  • @indeed1234

    Mee too tbh

  • I would cry my eyes out if i got to see Kanye perform this!

  • oh my god, took me to musical heaven!

  • Comment removed

  • New Kanye is powerful and hard, but old tracks such as this and Touch The Sky.. tracks about aspirations is the shit I miss him doing.

  • shit like this is why i wanna be a producer

  • blonde chick @ 2:00 is smoking fucking hot

  • nice to see kanye on the keys

  • Anyone knows where I can find the full show?

  • Kanye is pure greatness!!!!!

  • Nobodys these days gives you a bang for your buck like MR WEST...

  • Best Performer!!!!

  • I Wonder....!!

  • KanYe at his finest

  • the singer on here is pretty cute....

    

  • Anyone else notice the girl at 2:02 ;)

  • I'm a Kanye fan. Of course, Kanye is a great artist/producer but I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying he is a musical genius. He's not necessarily doing anything new, he just brought something into hip hop that's been prevalent in every other genre of music, experimentation and fusion. I would say he's brave more than genius. & really, black folks are extremely creative and experimental within the core of our community--it's just that what is allowed to reach the masses that's bland.

  • 2:16 he hits the wrong note

  • @samuelkeshon no that's just dissonance

  • better than the recording

  • This is my ultimate Kanye song..its pure genius,but ppl don't realise this track. On the CD version how nice are those last 50 seconds of musical fusion?! Strings!

    "you ever wonder if you ever find your dreams?"

  • song is amazing kanye west his music is about life and his words speak on regluar issues people can relate thats why he will always be my top 5 no matter what

  • Please tell me who is the back singer ? She has a beautiful voice and she looks amazing...

  • @TheMisterMaj joi star

  • @BennoYaKnow22 thank you! We can relate to someone like Kanye cause he actually raps about his life experiences that he and everyone else has faced, I don't get how people can relate to Lil Wayne, all he raps about is money and women in ALL his songs, he just isn't original

  • i hate how people say he have big ego and hate him If u r so successful after everybody said u can'T rap THAN u can have the same ego.

  • you know.. niggas keep talkin bout how Pac n Big were good... n how Eminen is kiling... but you MUST see what Kanye did to music... speacily to Hip Hop.. turn it to something so tuchble n feeling that you cant listen to this shit high here n dont wonder about your life... the biggest rapper ever Kanye... since College Dropout to My Beautiful Dark Twistted Fantasy

  • THE VATICAN CAN MAKE A WORLD CUP, BRAZIL NOT

  • @funkyafro so lil Wayne raps about his life experiences... People still can relate to that cause there are many people that go through the same things he went through plus he creates the music that we want to hear so we ain't complaining.

  • @youngchuck4 wayne rambles incoherently about bitches,money, syrup and bullshyt he does nobody can relate to unless you have his money. the nerve of you to to say he makes music the people want to hear. hes forced on us and sells himself out to gain money. he never has a storytelling song or spits real shit. all he does is spit some corny word play, pause and chuckle and some more dumb punchline.. hes albums are awful as well. lol at you.

  • That girl Vocal are dope

  • this is the best version by far. so much more emotion when he's live. the one off the cd sounds good but this just destroys it. i wish it was longer

  • 1:14 best part of the video when kanye sings, and of course the end

  • This song is probably my favourite Kanye West song, it shows why he is the best rapper around, he's really the only rapper that raps about something honest, no talk of women or money like Lil Wayne, he just raps about his life experiences and his lfe and that's why he's the best rapper/musician around (y)

  • Story of my life right now.....been looking for this performance for ages....

  • That microphone is sick 'Ye! :-)

  • What a difference, you have ppl like lady gaga coming to sold out concerts in like the most wtf/loud clothing styles (her kermit outfit), and then you have kanye, simple track pants, jacket, and some sneakers... Respect

  • he makes his beats. composues the added details to what he samples. writes his lyrics. puts on an amazing show....the guy has passion

    pisses me off when people talk shit on him just cause of how he acts...the dudes real unlike every person judging him. they're pissed when they hear the truth

    this is the kinda music that insipres other...the music i try to write is nothing like this (not rap) but. it inspires me to be passionate and speak my mind about what i love

  • who is the backup singer her voice is fuckin amazing

  • I wonder, why i cant the whole video :(

  • such a powerful performance

  • Do you see what my man Kanye invented? He fused classical strings and piano to match the beat of the turn tables and had lead vocals along with it. He really is a true genius to music!

  • @808icetrey true dat, he's a mo'fuckin genius!!

  • @808icetrey

    I must disagree. he is no genius to music. Mozart was, Bach was, chopin, liszt, prokofiev, ligeti were an so many others. Even if he fused Strings (there's nothing such as "classical strings"), piano with the tables and the vocals, the harmony and melody are very simple (it doesn't mean it's bad).

    Now, i respect what he does.

  • @808icetrey

    No disrespect to Ye, but he didn't arrange that, a music director did. Music Directors arrange and compose real live instruments with tracks or arrange it to play the music we hear on the track. Don't get me wrong, much love to Yeezy, he's a very creative guy. One of the best producers and rappers ever, but give credit where credit is due. Ye didn't fuse those things.

  • @BiggerThanMusicTV idk...for some reason i feel like he played a part...if u have evidence that says otherwise please let me know

  • Sick ending

  • i fall in love with this song each and every time i heard it.

    Neva gets old. especially the piano solo at the end!!!

  • daaaamn, that snare....

  • amazing...my respect is given here...

  • love it!!!!

  • he's awesome but he sucks on the keys...stick to the mpc dude

  • kanYe west. what a fucking genius. anybody who knows anything about real music will know he has so much to offer the music industry and bring so much new-ness to rap and rnb. period.

  • WHO IS THAT FINE ASS FEMALE BACKUP SINGER?

  • Tomy Williams the background singer with the nose ring G.O.O.D Music

  • I uploaded All Falls Down and Diamons From Sierre Leone (at the vodafone TBA), you could check that out. But this performance is fantastic!

  • WHY THE FUCK DOES ITUNES NOT HAVE THIS VERSION?! Kanye performs this live better the recorded one on itunes. this so much more emotion and power in this version.

  • This shit is SO RAW

  • That's what she said

  • playing piano and rapping at the same time is so fucking hard....

  • @pleaseRoger not when you are playing a steady beat on one chord.

  • This... this is quite possibly the best fcking performance I've ever seen on the youtubes.
