Kanye West - Through The Wire (+lyrics)

[NxmbPxwer]

Vote if you believe this:

Kanye was in a car accident when he was supposed to record his first albom, which required his jaw to be wired shut. He snuck out of the hospital to record this song.

[DonHeartbeatJohnson6]

RIP Kanye

[lebronluver21]

[Adriangrosvenor]

Jay Z ruined Kanye smh

[lebronluver21]

@Adriangrosvenor you exactly right

[BrelaDTheGoddess]

I Love His Angst In This Song... He Will Never Make Good Music Like This Ever Again. Hes Become A Self Entitled Douche.

[Lamar2540]

Man he rocks!

[AyLayMusic]

been looking for this for AGES! tune!!!!

[Agirl62]

his voice sounds DEEP

[20knoll]

Why did he turn Chaka Khan into Minnie Mouse?

[CloudPulse]

@20knoll The producer did that because he thought it sounded good I would assume. I think it sounds nice, though. Inadvertent benefit is the higher pitch takes up less of the freq's of kanye's voice, so it makes the song sound cleaner overall.

[Militarymight101]

@20knoll i heard the original and itsslower and deeper i like this more

[MyFightback]

fact is that this song is unreeeeeeeeal!

[Charlidaunic]

I felt like I sounded like this when I had my wisdom teeth removed lol

[Kushmunster]

"Okay can I get some change now?"

[ladyofblue]

This Kanye West will always be one of my favorite rappers... i miss the "old" him... PLEASE COME BACK !

[missnicer11]

[Tyson61995]

you know? im sick and F***ing tired about how ppl always say ppl like kanye (i dont mean anything bad, honestly, i rly dont mean anything about that comment) are all about $ex, money, and drugs! i mean, do u have any idea how hard some of these ppls lives are?! i mean srsly!

[TreysLover]

This is coming from a white 14 year old girl . . .I would chose Kanye over anybody any day especially Taylor Swift. Her music is Blah.! He is a genius, and Kanye wouldnt be Kanye if he wasnt an ass. I love him and he def brought it on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. This is one of my favorite songs from him. He is one of the best EVER!

[LeeClarkAoblwcrew]

@TreysLover totally agree he his da bomb but eminem is a atom and dr dre is a nuke haha ;)

[TreysLover]

@LeeClarkAoblwcrew Lmao, funny(:

[smokingzaggin]

@TreysLover Nobody gives a fuck about how old you are or the colour of your skin. You probably know nothing about rap music...

[TreysLover]

@smokingzaggin First of all Learn how to spell COLOR before you talk shit. K? k. & ur not even worth my time. Its just stupid that u would even say something like that ;p Stupid lowlife who wants to talk shit to me. So FUCK OFF. Your welcome (:

[smokingzaggin]

@TreysLover If i'm not worth your time why did you bother to reply...

[TreysLover]

@smokingzaggin (=

[convictxgoon]

[WakaFlockaFlame251]

I look like Tom Cruise on Vanilla Sky HAHA! Best line

[owtrage1]

kanye west is class but only became famous throgh the wire but all his hits are class,, he'll never overcome my idol EMINEM

[Eziokilla9595]

@owtrage1 i like the way you think.

[owtrage1]

kanye west is class but only became famous throgh the wire

[joeeric100]

Dude i mean whoever says kanye is a dick fuck them because he is a genius he inspires me and just makes my life brighter with all this creative, smooth, cool music. i just - i mean like i just - whenever i have a bad day this just helps me through the day and if i was a girl - nevermind that. what i'm trying to say is he's awesome and i love him.

[tech9393]

Funny RANDOM thing about this song. I remember my first semester in college this song was always stuck in my head and the professor passed out note cards to the class for us to give our opinion on the class anonymously and I started writing and I broke out in this song and we read them out loud and some kid had one and was like what????? i couldnt stop "loling" and i always think of that whenever i hear this song. I guess going to college doesnt mean growing up, im a grown ass kid ;-) 

[kmcpiyer]

@CriminallyArmed its through the wire. Kanye sampled a Chaka Khan song with the lyrics for the chorus. He named it "through the wire" because he recorded it while his jaw was wired shut due to a near fatal car wreck.

[CriminallyArmed]

is it through the fire or through the wire cause if its through the fire then why is the song called through the wire

[ZLAE72]

@JJTAMF Hell yeah man, tell 'em how it is. Kanye is a BEAST

[chocolatebunniesxox]

@KruzFireStarter no through the fire chaka kahn or however you spell her name

[cwilliams0101]

@KruzFireStarter i meant "through the fire" lol.

[cwilliams0101]

@KruzFireStarter noo he sample the chorus from chaka khan "through the wire" 

[itstitabytch]

yoo i always luv dis song is da best i still luv dis song even if its old fuck dat i luv old song tht made for love fuck all tht girlfriend shit and sex

[branzombie]

worthless intro blabber

[sierraloveshomedepot]

kanye paved tha way 4 a new era n rap & hip hop if it wasnt 4 him then where would b today im not taken anything from tha past greats but sometimes you have 2 rise above what is and set the example 4 what wil b stay tru to urself and never give up no matter what ur haters say cuz if they hate u so bad then y do they spend so much time talkin bout u!!!!! 1 love dustyC 

[MrBensosa]

@metsjets315 millions doesnt buy your moms life back does it?

[afrocentricdime]

This is my favorite Kanye West song!!

[shawtygotteeth]

Jesus Christ get over it Kanye & Taylor Swit have BOTH moved on so why can't you guys? 

[mianomike]

Just found out b4 watching this that he recorded this with his mouth wired. That's pretty incredible.

[chunkymonkey2782]

@mianomike i know right

[24mathplatnumchamp]

And still Kanye going hard wit Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

[superman619able]

@24mathplatnumchamp and watch the throne... a lil bit

[shawtygotteeth]

Yeezy <33

[iamscyn]

"Unbreakable, would you thought they called me Mr. Glass?"

Is he referring to Stephen Glass?

[jackandjill45]

@iamscyn naw to the movie unbreakable,the bruce willis movie where samuel l jacksons name was mister glass

[iamscyn]

@jackandjill45

Alright thanks.

[osamabad]

@iamscyn

He was referring to Samuel L. Jackson's character in the movie Unbreakable. People called him Mr. Glass, because he got injured easily.

[crimsonwolf38]

god speed kanye west, you live your life and never give up.

[zigihaku]

The way his pic kept moving at the end made me lol

[Swetsnel]

autotune's origin

[yay4penguins654]

you know he recorded this song with his mouth wired shut?

[TEARSxFROMxTHExMOON]

this was my best friend joshay's song, but a day b4 this past valentines day/his b-day he committed suicde

[zzzxxyy]

This is when Kanye just did music and focused on that. Now, he's all about money, awards, false drama, and antisocial bullshit. Grow up and back to 2003 Kanye, when you were making good music.

[ozme8053]

@zzzxxyy Please, Kanye isnt about any of that shit. Think otherwise? You're misinterpreting him, simple as that

[zzzxxyy]

@ozme8053 I think you're fandom is blinding you. Look at the "tempertantrum" he through at Matt Lauer during his appearance on Today, about a week before his last album was released. Who acts like that when footage is shown? He's a walking publicity stunt.

[ozme8053]

@zzzxxyy To be completely honest, Kanye was right though. Matt Lauer was looking for certain answers. He wanted Kanye to apologize to Bush and to teach him a lesson about Taylor Swift. He's been berated about both of those events for quite a long time...I'd be sick of all of it too if a show host asked me the same questions about things that I've tried to put behind me. Kanye is pretty immature, but his music screams independence from negative outside influence. He's real, pure and simple.

[ladybugsweetcake]

Not to offend nobody

[ladybugsweetcake]

i know how Kanye went on stage and all that stuff with Taylor. But hey do u know how much he apoligzed and plus some things u just have to leave behind. Plus, he was going threw a lot. It's not a big deal no more unless u hold grudges.(who cares if i spelled it wrong) Also why should anybody care its not like Taylor Swift is paying u money.

[wtbkTwInKiiex2]

im a mutha fuckin gay fish you got to admit kanye can be a douche come on vma's with taylor swift

[Fenrisyfe]

kanye just hits the heart on this song

[MusicalObsession101]

love this song

[123mesey]

every time i hear this and i feel this really sad emotion because even though he got fucked up he still singing to make his dream true that right there is real shit

[GodleeisBeasT]

the southpark thing about the gay fish is pretty stupid

[50C4L]

Kanye west is a legend. He will not be on this earth forever, but his music and the heart and soul he put into this music will never fade and will last forever.

[jaykayohgawd]

this song makes me smile, it makes me happy. i miss this



[NeshaEvans]

:)

[SuperWayne123456789]

If only everyone knew what he has done....

[EcstasyT9X]

[kevinfeola]

this is his best song he ever made

[slipknotemo123]

man i miss the old kanye

[JJTAMF]

Fuck all yall Kanye Haters, he is still an icon even if he ruined taylor swifts moment, he is going thru a hard time and he still has it in him. But look at the music he has made, he is to me considered in the Top 5 Artist of The Decade Category to me.

[cathode1990]

@JJTAMF C'mon You have more talent in your cold ball sack- Listen to Pendergrass- Wonder- Barry White- David Ruffin -Levi Stubbs- Lionel -- Artists today have no talent:: just are promoted by themselves and the press!- They know that! - What counts is who they can they hoodwink- Give these old guys a listen - I'm older than you but I always try to open up the youngsters to the past- That's what those before me did!Guess that makes me a bastard!~

[matthewsilly]

@JJTAMF i agree with the fuck the kanye haters part but i wouldnt put him top 5 on any list but he is a crazy good musician and his first cd showed it for sure

[JJTAMF]

@matthewsilly I say top 5 of the decade because this decade ended hella gay

[munchkin10014]

@JJTAMF

exactly

he boosted taylor swift's popularity through what he did regardless if it was a rather subtle way to do so

[alfvar]

@JJTAMF Lol are people serious with actually taking offense by that Taylor Swift moment. WHO THE HELL CARES? Y'all know that video was wack as hell anyway. Kanye is the man as far as I'm concerned. Look at all the dope music he's put out throughout the years. Even before College Dropout he was killin' it.

[metsjets315]

@JJTAMF hard times? hes a world famous rapper with millions.... no excuses

[JustCallMeSwen]

@JJTAMF

that's true i hope his new album will be a succes aswell

[derrick85739]

@JJTAMF HE THE BEST EVER IN MY OPINION

[drakesiayer]

@JJTAMF totally agree with you! and honestly who gives a shit about taylor swift? her music is trash!

[shezastarr08]

"they thought i was burnt like pepsi did micheal" ....

WHAAAAT?! hes sick. idc. not the greatest rapper, but one of the best

[Quan7kyle]

i miss old kanye im soo mad that hes rappin with wayne and changing his style... this sucks!! wayne you are killing hip-hop!

[getmoneystayreal]

@Quan7kyle kanye isn't killing hip hop,gucci mane is...he's ignorant and can't pronounce words,him and his sidekick waka flocka whatever the fuck his name is.

[prettyintellect7]

this song still go hard!!

[22rayj]

well u knw pretty much every true rapper has dropped outta school

[22rayj]

if u cant call him the greatest rapper after this song well u juss wait till dark twisted fanasty comes out.....

[eminemshow31]

someclassic ass shit. back when kanye was a beast. hes straight ass now.

[MrOmarProductions]

Although this song is old he went out there with a broken jaw because he loves his fans. the Taylor Swift insident was very long ago.People should know that was Kanye's opinion you don't have to agree with him.I think Kanye is Brilliant.I'm not really felling the auto tune.I miss this classic stuff.I dont know that all i have to say.:)

[bckicksbutt]

can people stop saying his new stuff is trash and only his old stuff was good, his new stuff isnt trash, hes still tellin stories in his new stuff, i think people only dislike it cuz a lot of it has autotune, that doesnt effect his creativity or lyrical ability, that was a terrible year for kanye, his mom died and his girlfriend of years left him, thats tough shit, 808's and heartbreaks isnt just about what a lot of other rappers a talkin about, and listen to his new new stuff, hes goin back

[SuperShani123]

Maaaaan What happened Kanye?

I miss when he use to make music like this .

[BanglishBoy]

@SuperShani123 man me too. all his new stuff is so robotic.

[SuperShani123]

@BanglishBoy Exactly man

[ddtlyc]

this shit is dope i remember when this droped i was bumping this up every where i would go.

[ezbayb]

Listen to What this niggas sayin ppl ..........

he's clearly sellin his soul to rockafella.......

you be the judge i like the hook but the way he's using her lyrics are diffrent than what you think

[parr0th3ad88]

:40

[Dante95nyc]

I have been a fan of Kanye since 8 years old. I am 14 now. And what he said about Taylor Swift was the truth.

[TheTinManWithAPlan]

@ evil crazchicken except for welcome to heartbreak

[PortablePinoy]

Man, when I heard this song. I fell in love with his music,

now.. damn what happen? Man....

[GeerFreed11]

tha backround singins better than his rapping

[EvilCrazyChicken]

that shit made me lol that taylor swift shit, ppl callin him racist? fuc you mother fuckers

[tellittoame]

I've admired Kanye and his music since I was 5 and im 13 right now. I grew up listening to hip hop and rap and still am. I usually listen to underground music and he's the only reason why i listen to mainstream music once in a while. This guy isn't afraid to speak from his heart, he's a true artist and he's true to himself he makes music, not just money.

[SASJKL]

@tellittoame i think you'd really enjoy NaS

[bigdogge420]

@tellittoame dude ur still growing up maing watchu mean ggrew up too lol, but hey, keep i tup..just dont get involved in this new aged "hip-hop" that aint so much hip hop as theyd like to think
