Kanye West - Diamonds are forever

[bizbite2]

This song is wonderful. Diamond value is exploited by global diamond monopoly, they're actually cheap then gold. Also he probably doesn't want to buy bitches diamond jewelry.

[asimple10]

the second guy rapping dosen't seem to talk about what Kanye is singing about, Kanye is singing/rapping about the conflict diamonds in Africa and how they are still so prized in the world even by him yet they were exchanged for mutilation, slavery and death. He's conflicted because he enjoys that status symbol that comes along with diamonds but knows about "blood diamonds". The second guy seems to be getting a shout to himself.

[BritishExtremeMetal]

Fucking Yanks ruined James Bond with this song!

[EarlRegent]

@BritishExtremeMetal

[EarlRegent]

@BritishExtremeMetal Are you braindead?

[BritishExtremeMetal]

@EarlRegent No but you're.

[EarlRegent]

@BritishExtremeMetal In case you have not noticed simpleton. a lot of the James Bond soundtracks(the most popular ones actually) are slow classic types like this one. It's your lacking background that blinds you to this.

[IrishThrasher09]

@madeforstupidcensor Either you have a rich family that pays for all of your expenses while you babble on abt your morals and merits restricting you frm making any money for yourself, or you're poor because you use your self-righteous antics as an excuse not to get a job or get money in any other way. Which is it homie?

[IrishThrasher09]

@madeforstupidcensor I'm very proud of myself as somebody who's willing to bust his ass & be a man in order to get money so him & the ppl he cares about can live comfortable & stress free lives. You're somebody who's so self obsessed that you let your "merits" & "morals" get in the way of doing anything to receive income. As a result of that you & the ppl that matter to you may live unhappy or difficult lives

[MyCommodities]

took me 41 seconds to realize this wasnt a video

[dhfgbhsg]

[AmberKohaku4]

[MRWALKER500000]

[ROBLOXiansRejct666]

@MRWALKER500000 Nope. He just added his own twist, I think it's brilliant.

[MRWALKER500000]

[coma1980]

Garbage.



[TheTuamas]

Geez, if you could take us back to 2007! There was no one hating, Kanye dropped diamonds like it was raining.

(sry for making rhymes XD)

Unfortunately he hit the main stream and is now all over shit for trying to stay in headlines.

[TheDuckster33]

@TheTuamas You really didn't rhyme all that much.

[814DAN418]

"I'm not a businessman I'm a business man"

[Izzy11215]

I never really listened to his words because the beat is so dope but he's spittin some real stuff about Sierra Leon.

[mbjanneh1]

@Izzy11215 yeah niggaz talkin bout blood diamonds from sierra leone,basically the home of all African Americans

[echohd1]

[creepyfreak88]

holly shit this sucks soooooo much asss way to fuck up a classic 007 song and give it a whole new meaning that means nothing except proof that your a fuckhole!! in the words of dr.evil "way 2 go ahole!!!!!!"

[Jackoooist]

Fact: The only thing capable of destroying a diamond is another diamond

[lindyan]

@Jackoooist Lol no. Try throwing a diamond into a fire.

[Jackoooist]

@lindyan Lol that won't work they are basicly indestructible unless subdued to massive explosions or as i said another diamond

[lindyan]

@Jackoooist Uhm, last I checked diamonds were basically just coal pressed together. And coal burns pretty fucking well.

[TeeREV503]

Love this video. Learn more about conflict Diamonds and conflict free diamond alternatives at The Greener Diamond.org They recently created a 100 acre farm in Sierra Leonne that is ran by over 500 reformed child soldiers. The entire farm is funded buy the sales from eco-friendly, conflict free jewelry from MiaDOnna®. Miadonna.com

[jovicans]

gay fish - the diamonds are forever.....

[Gunsgoff]

Child slaves working for the blood diamonds.

most diamonds sold in the world are illegal

[DyungLady]

Its a good songs but the sad thing is he got sued for taking the lady who sang this song orinally part....he thought she was already dead or something so he didnt ask if he could use her voice....and apperently she was really angry about it....=P xDD

[paddzyy]

@DyungLady well thats a lie because he sang it live with her!

[DyungLady]

@DyungLady yeahhh i know about that but she really wanted to sue him when she first heard this and didnt know about it.....and im sure its not really flattering when someone doesnt ask to use a song because they think shes dead....

[RuskayaDevochaka]

arctic monkeys do a better cover of this song..

[Szioff]

WTF!!! fuckin nigga.....

[Shagsterific]

it's alright. the original is better, but this would definitely have a place in a diamonds are forever remake

[kmiller812]

@Shagsterific

I really hope you dont think that this is a remake of the vevo bullshit radio edit of diamonds from seoria leone. This is the original from the album but they couldn't play this song on the radio because it actually makes people think and we wouldn't want that.

[rippuh1]

wait dis aint the same shit

[monidead]

this song is good c`mon now

[arillle]

OMG WHAT A FAIL .... : facepalm:

[iBruhhh]

This song swims threw my inner hear and rapes my mind...

[Nighthawk12304]

[justinbieberkillsall]

Kanye West is the Kidz Bop of rappers. Stealing and calling it legit. Also Im sure he has more than his share of conflict diamonds in one chain.

[justinbieberkillsall]

Kanye West is the Kidz Bop of rappers. Stealing and calling it legit.

[RyutarocKxxx]

OMFG! kanye raped this classic song...FUCK YOU KANYE!!!

[omersexy]

George Bush doesn't care about black people

[sciocchezze]

@omersexy Kanye, it's okay, now he's no longer president ... so just don't care about him.

[partyhard706]

@omersexy your mom dont care for black people

[Unplugged1977]

[airsoftpanda95]

[OutlawGeezus]

Diamond's aren't forever! We will never sleep because sleep is for the weak!

[icyman5]

best part: 3:55, and by then i had already wanted to fucking kill kanye for saying forever like a million times

[leedonaldt]

my wife said to me the other day "men are stupid, think about it, a girls best friend is a diamond a man's best friend is a dog"

so i replied "oh yh, well lets see a diamond rescue u when ur drowning"

that wiped the smug look off her face =)

[ornizlle]

24 People are pieces of Copper. Not Diamonds.

[chewjfsh]

This sucks big time. This man is no musician.

[XxXHeLlRaIsErSXxX]

@chewjfsh Fuck you bro. Kanye is the best .. bitch.

[squ4tk1ng]

@allwittynamestaken And as response to your 'gun and chains' ignorance, we're all too uneducated about caring for each other due to our humanity being stripped to 'dog eat dog' because of these pieces of paper. It's because of power hungry egos that we're in this mess, and money is their tool to keep you all fighting amongst yourselves while they run off with every resource thats worth anything, i.e. Africa. Money is created out of nothing but thin air, your brainwashed trust and debt.

[squ4tk1ng]

@allwittynamestaken I've had enough with people without any critical thought, you brain-deads drive me up the wall. While your comment is valid to any person without the ability to think for themselves, I can. Recent studies have shown we have enough resources in the world to build schools and hospitals in EVERY town of EVERY country in the world, plus the rest. The problem is, we don't have enough money to do it. These worthless bits of paper are holding humanity back as a whole.

[CowDominations]

I think Kanye West should do a song for Bond 23 .. who's with me ?

[squ4tk1ng]

@enlightn1 Do you take money and gold with you when you die? Somehow, I don't think God gives a fuck how much money or gold you had. I'd sooner respect myself than get dragged into dunya, I have no respect for money as it is simply objectified freedom and gold...well...read the protocols of the learned elders of zion to see how that ones going ;)

[allwittynamestaken]

@squ4tk1ng currency is just power. without an agreed, obtainable method of gaining power all we can rely on is force. unless you wan't chains on your wrists and a gun to your head I suggest you respect money as the most civilized form of trade.

[djzman23]

Lupe fiasco's version much better dont believe me check it out by going to my channel ive got other songs as well if u wanna check em out

the songs called conflict diamonds

[NessQuickFreestyle]

I spit over this, check it if ya wanna

[bornkool]

Very meaningful.

[EzE081024]

Am I The Only That Really Believes That This Song Stands For The "Illuminati" Satanic Sign Which Is The DIAMOND That Jay-z & Kanye West Throw Up. Thats Why Kanye West Says "Throw Your Diamonds In The Sky If You Feel The Vibe"

[AfakasiKarlaaa]

I Dont Like This Song;

I Think Its Retarded

Simple As That (:

[TheTmoful]

@AfakasiKarlaaa You are a retard. simply as that ;) xxx

[AfakasiKarlaaa]

@TheTmoful Yo Mommas A Retard, Simple As Thaaat (;

[bassoonman444]

What is this bollocks?..........we don't need talentless twats spoiling

John Barry's wonderful music so PISS OFF!

[djollieuk]

[LivingBetterTV]

KANYE WEST GOES HAM BUT HIS COUSIN IS EVEN SICKER!!!

CLICK MY PAGE TO HEAR KANYE'S YOUNGER COUSIN GO IN!!

[knoencowo]

I thought this would have sounded good with out his rap though... the beat is good with the echo reminds me of rain

[DnBisBlood]

the old kanye west is wicked i like a few of his new ones but this and jesus walks are the shit. I mean who cant like jesus walks, But hartless is a great song :)

[Cazenrique44]

why they destroyed this song with the retarded rap...?

[MrScheerApparaat]

@Cazenrique44 I agree with you... Shirley Bassey's version is so mutch more..

[sipodge]

This is horrid! He's gone and KILLED an amazing song! Why does he even call this HIS song? It's partly Shirly Bassey's and John Barry's!

[trenton1354]

i love this shit. the remix raw but it made me forget about this version and it made it seem new. YE that guy

[Ozku9]

Fuck kayne west that shit eating nigga.

[IBanishUndead]

@Ozku9 LOL

But its a good song

[squ4tk1ng]

Diamonds are forever? Fuck a diamond, fuck gold, fuck money and fuck all your material bullshit. I'm the diamond, and that's what this song is about, be the diamond, shine harder every day, and you'll be forever.

[ChikanoDog]

@squ4tk1ng stfu

[jeffchen]

@squ4tk1ng kepala butoh

[squ4tk1ng]

@jeffchen Bodoh jubur.

[HOTFRI3S]

@squ4tk1ng lolol u makin me piss my pants im readin this shit

[squ4tk1ng]

@HOTFRI3S Haha, another bitch who says 'lol'. A person offers a new perspective on a song, one of a perspective of God who made diamonds, and you got haters 'cause little bitches can't take it that their minds aren't capable of free thought. Blame your parents for letting you watch too many subliminal zionist television shows, and stripping your brain of critical thinking.

[HOTFRI3S]

@squ4tk1ng stfu cunt im laughing at ur shit that ur saying dont be little faggot and start sayin crap

[squ4tk1ng]

@HOTFRI3S Haha my man. But why the hate? Quite frankly I can't be bothered with another youtube war, it's all the same old boring story. Just 'cause you don't see it from my perspective doesn't mean your hate is valid. Dont hate, appreciate.

[HOTFRI3S]

@squ4tk1ng well i wasnt hatin in the beginning but then u said some shit so i started fucker....

[neverendingconversat]

@squ4tk1ng thats some deep shit

[enlightn1]

Yes, diamonds are forever. They were produced in the beginning of the earth. Please do not hate money or gold. If you do not have one or the other, you will be a beggar in the streets. I do not expect you t worship them , but , please respect them.

[enlightn1]

[loveloveretro]

@squ4tk1ng Well said.

[MissNatalie13]

@squ4tk1ng well said!

all these rappers are making songs about their money, so everyone assumes this is also about money. actually no :P as you said, its about us.

[AFRO563]

@squ4tk1ng

wow that shit is deeeeep! :)

<3

[sportsbriggs]

@squ4tk1ng dumb nut he's talking about a whole another message if you dont money then muther fuker you wouldn't go to work everyday and you wouldn't be able to afford that computer your talking shxt from.

[murpot69]

@squ4tk1ng marijuana is everything and forever

[MissNatalie13]

@squ4tk1ng yeah, not money related shit that the rappers usually write about. thank you! :)

[IrishThrasher09]

@squ4tk1ng i doubt the message of extremely materialistic rapper kanye west is "Fuck a diamond, fuck gold, fuck money and fuck all your material bullshit." And if that's the way you see life then have fun "shining" in the gutter with no $

BTW watch the movie Blood Diamond or read about the african diamond trade and get educated on the real meaning of the song - think twice before blabbering your self-righteous ass off about some bs that doesnt make sense.

FUCK BITCHES LIKE YOU, GET MONEY

[madeforstupidcensor]

@IrishThrasher09 Jesus Christ, and this is why he says money doesn't matter. If it consumes you, you see no need for anything else, which is sad. I'd rather be poor and have merits, morals and hope than be rich and an ass like you lacking the critical thinking required to understand his message. While the song may not be about that, seeing as it's coming from Kanye West, the point is money can't buy happiness. If you're proud of yourself and who you are that's all you need.

[DwightWhite78]

@madeforstupidcensor Until you die from freezing ur ass off

[richierichnumber1]

Chop those arms and legs off I want more diamonds "MUTHA FU KER."

[StanOfGB]

Look at these haters.

[ATYoung2010]

I still don't understand why people click on this video if you're going to bash Kanye West.

[hattree]

@ATYoung2010 because it's so easy to bash a no-talent egotist. This goes way beyond sampling to a complete rip off. it should say John Barry and Shirley Bassey, remixed and talked over by Kanye West.

[Lordkaczman]

@ATYoung2010 Because they wanted to see what it was like and found out it was shit.

[AthensFilms]

Does anyone realise the original song came from the James Bond film, 'Diamonds are Forever'? Both the movie, the original song, and this song are great. :D

[lilxlovebug]

love this song.!!!! i 1st heard it in mexico.<3 and loved it since.

[marcusg94]

man....back before kanye was an ass. i lost a little respect for him comin to the VMAs smashed..but still one of the best rappers today. lil wayne can go eat a dick

[cirvano1]

This is good but Lupe Fiasco's version is 100 times better.

[MechaHood]

[deiizyLiiciious]

BEEEAAASSSTTTTT!!

[Ertz92]

omg kanye ruines all

[cheeseybutter]

@Ertz92

the originals may be better than kanye's songs, but id rather kanye sample them than other artists, since he actually knows how to do it right

[sheikh4987]

even stars are high up in the sky..toilet signs are always absent..

[kingb1181]

this tune is so fucking ace i love it :D

[Alathaea]

Kanye, could you stop shouting over this Shirley Bassey song? I'm trying to listen.

[sweetetwe]

@Alathaea STFU bitch. The title clearly says Kanye west- Diamonds are forever you retard so im sure u knew kanye will be rapping over shirley bassey b4 u clicked it.

[pakitarar10044]
