[TRLMan]

1:52-1:57 JOHN LEGEND on the piano!? That's a show right therrrrrr!!!!

[kayneeast17]

[Dtuckification]

@MrJmsp12 You're a Wasteman..

[oreoprincess39]

@MrJmsp12 Yet you came to one of his videos...

[sanin92]

I LOVE THIS SONG but this performance died at 2:50

[collegehumorohya]

@sanin92 na

[justinjoewills]

that violinist is killing it!!!!

[josescar]

fantastica Sylenna Johnson

[Moviewxpert]

The one and only John Legend on the keys. Kanye killed it.

[godivaman4u]

Yeezy is the fecal:).

[Illussionary]

I bet that was awkward for a lot of the white people in there lol

[HERBLANDZ]

@Illussionary most of them even act awkward on the train just around black people.so of course they extra awkward when we let em know what it is vocally.The white man get paid off of all of that is true in every way shape and form.So yeah they awkward

[theempire00]

@Illussionary lol

[Illussionary]

the violin girl creeps me out haha

[charles9899]

fantastico

kane west the best

[richradtylr4]

this is more hip-hop than most of the mainstream shit out today!! lol

[pyro2020]

College Dropout and Graduation His Best Albums

[KFreders]

The song is basically about how middle and high class people don't really understand why lower class people dress the way they do. They have basically nothing, and they grow up thinking that having chromed cars and shiny jewelry will make people think they're rich like them. But the upper classes still seem to think they're better than them no matter how many fancy things they own.

"Even if you're in a benz, you're still a nigga in a coop".

[KFreders]

@whtmansburden08 He's rich now, so he can wear whatever he wants. If I were rich, I would flaunt it, you would too. I don't think anyone wouldn't. Like Jay-Z says in 99 Problems, "If you grew up with holes in your zapatos, you'd be celebratin the minute you was havin dough".

And you would. Having money doesn't make you a bad person. Kanye also has lots of philanthropic programs that he's participated in.

[AuTToTune]

i neva undastood wen he said pass dat fasasis???

[robskim101]

@AuTToTune "versace" is an expensive italian clothing brand. kanye mispronounces it pass that "ver say see" when it should be said "ver sach ee".

[Amahrixlol]

crowd is wack 

[whisperingeyes87]

wow this was a dope performance...one of kanyes BEST!!!

[MrBLACKANGEL1987]

SO COooL

[SmashBass]

Wow, that was awesome. The live appearances of his I've seen all seemed awkward to me, but this kills. Great band that's allowed to feel it. Cheers to a rapper actually making *live music*.

I'm a metal/rock/funk dude that's just recently discovered and enjoying this artist's progressive talent. The new album reupholstered hip-hop !

[sopitabo]

Fuckin excellent,they should be bangin to this.

[tintadepulpo]

Legendary performance!!!

[Superdele2007]

"Single black female addicted to retail"  classic line

[paulinotou]

this song makes so much sense its.

[hereforyourcookie]

The silence before the audience clapped was the most awkward thing ever.

Jeez, look how they're standing as still as stumps when they should be bobbing their heads until their necks fracture.

[MikeyNewJin]

What a great performance!

[MCSmithishh]

Man, that crowd is dead. -_-

[johnjambo1]

i miss this kind of soul in kanyes song. But my beautiful dark twisted fantasy is still awesome

[salesalmazanroberto]

common yoooooooooooo

[benedictsuratos]

COT DAAAAAYUUUMN. WE NEED MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS NOWADAYS.

[sazin2fly]

"Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexis (a lexus)"

so fucking on point <3

[natedawg6995]

@MrRecklessBehavior2

I agree, but I would like to improve that comment by adding that this "materialism and insecurity" not only plagues black communities, but also other communities.

[catonic]

"And the white man get paid off all of that"...thats true...niggas thinking they flossing with these bullshit materials, but don't control any of their finances.

[101feven101]

I've never seen the singer, Syleena Johnson before

[sparks199]

@101feven101 Wow, dont wait, go listen to more of her!

[mikeboogie25]

There's nothing better than hip hop done by real musicians- people that know that everyone screaming into the mic at the same time doesn't sound good. And everyone stays on key. LOL.

[diva1675]

There's the hip hop violinist! I forgot about her!

[xCrAzYbOyx213]

Great LIVE Kanye performance!!!....one of the best off this album =D

[lorcaliph514]

Syleena is the shyt! foreal!

[DominTenor23]

I think the violinist had an aneurysm halfway through.

[Winnepooh100]

I like this kanye west this real because I from the hood and Im a girl and see how my big struggles sister to take care of her baby and this song reminds what she is going through

[yellowpatchrocket]

the violin player is annoying here. it was hard to hear the singing over the violin

[ThatwasTERRIBLE]

@yellowpatchrocket BItch is annoying just by her stupid overmovement.

[chromecatsmusic]

Great performance!

[heymanhaha]

SICK LIVE

[AshKilamande]

ahh.. this is when kanye's lyrics were actually meaningful and relevant

[jabre12]

good fuckin stuff man

[la9777]

I love Syleena, and Kanye, love this song,

[MCSmithishh]

That Polo shirt that Kanye West is wearing actually reminds me of the background colors to his 808s & Heartbreak album. No kidding!!

[Arian545]

College Dropout is probaly one of the best hip hop album after 2000.

[MCSmithishh]

@Arian545 "Probably"?  =P

[Arian545]

@MCSmithishh Don't make fun of me, i know i aint uber in english...

[MCSmithishh]

@Arian545

Oh, I wasn't actually making fun of you. I just wanted why you put "probably" in your statement. ;) I didn't even realize it was misspelt, LOL! I was just implying that it IS, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best hip-hop albums from the decade. =)

No harm meant at all. Wow. That went bad.... lol

[Arian545]

@MCSmithishh No worry man it was just a typo. and fuck yeah its a great album

[theblack100]

YA Ye flavor aint nothin like it was bak then!

[TyrantRave0]

Oh my god, I miss the old Kanye now, so badly... :(

[L1SE19]

Damn Miri's violin sound like a trumpet.

[Louisebvl]

AMO ESSA MUSICA

[starsinsaturn]

john legend! that's cool that that's him playing the piano. love him

[DonToanPhan]

pretty good performance. Violin was a nice touch and Syleena Johnson sounds exactly like she does on the album (a bit better in fact).

[zurii]

THIS KANYE NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!

[rolo300000]

I agree!!!! Kanye is mad crazy here.

[lorcaliph514]

mean performance by all 4 of them

[juggi301]

ok, I didnt liked miri in this one

[thrips91]

HAHAHAH. Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus!! Genius ...

[ubloom3]

even if u in a bens u still a niggA in a coup kanye needs to drop auto and spit like this again!

[BAGAKOOS]

ON THE ROAD TO RICHES & DIAMOND RINGS!

[mabiniss2]

What are those people standing in the background doing?

[tyasiajohnson12]

syleena johnson,my last name is johnson too,and a million other people lol i know that was extra random :D

[Reqrezentin]

Triple random

[tyasiajohnson12]

lol...I know riqht...I was just bored....

[BabyGiiRl4120]

does anybody remeber when he did a special on b.e.t. and he performed this song,like 2 or 3 years ago?? if so can you tell me where to find it please????

[MrRecklessBehavior2]

"All Falls Down" ranks up there as one of Kanye West's best songs, using conscious, sarcastic-laded lyrics to attack the materialism and insecurity plaguing black communities.

[tatumforbes]

Well said. They need to bring this song BACK out. He don't have this flavor no more, this passion, this .. Idk what is. College Dropout was his bestCd to date.

[MrRecklessBehavior2]

@tatumforbes I'm also partial to Late Registration, and I found Graduation pretty dope. But yeah, ever since he dropped 808s & Heartbreak, he's just gotten kinda...different...I'll admit. And yeah, I think The College Dropout was his best work so far.

[fireking345]

@tatumforbes

by saying that you meaning your not a true fan or even know kanye west properly.

Listen to him talking in vh1....then you'll understand

[lovesound23]

@tatumforbes Totally agree with you.

But, Late Registration was his best CD to date =P 

[tehchase1313]

@tatumforbes people change you cant expect his music to stay the same

[rl4769]

@tatumforbes I can't agree with you more. This feel he has on the song and on the entire album is too hard to describe. It's awesome though.

[1984Janis1]

@MrRecklessBehavior2 Agreed, I think "All Falls Down" is Kanye's best song to date, period.

[1984Janis1]

I could be here all day talking about how brilliant this song is. It has so many deep layers of meanings from the song to the video with Stacy Dash.

[thedrumbum]

@MrRecklessBehavior2 ... it plagues humanity not just black people

[LMAOisback25]

@Mr Reckless Behavior 2 I definitely agree with you. All Falls Down is one of his best songs, that and Family Business. If you've ever done a little research on Kanye then watched the video and really listen to the lyrics it has two meanings. One is about materialism, insecurities ect, etc the obvious and the other is about his dating life.................brilliant­.

[101feven101]

@MrRecklessBehavior2 I agree. All Falls Down is my favorite song by Kanye, I loved it since I first heard it when I was 12 (I'm 18 now)

[TeewhYThreeD]

@MrRecklessBehavior2

yeah also looking at the contradiction of human nature too....definitely a goddamn go0d song.

[MCSmithishh]

@MrRecklessBehavior2

If I could "thumbs up" that comment a hundred times, I would!

[Vitaluv]

@MrRecklessBehavior2 I have many favorite by Kanye West, but this is one his most prolific songs EVA. I love how he keeps it real by pointing out the issues we have in the black community and how he too, suffers from it. That is truth!

[whtmansburden08]

@MrRecklessBehavior2 yea but how ironic is he created this song about materialism and hes wearing a chain around his neck that cost more than my yearly salary. i guess the point is, i think alot of rappers/hip hop artist create songs that when compared to how they live seem very hypocritical. martin luther king would never support black panthers, adolf hitler would never go to temple. in other words it all sounds nice on paper, but even kanye doesnt believe the shit he writes.

[tcoke88]

@whtmansburden08 Yea man i agree he even says it himself "the prettiest people do the ugliest things" He is one of those people who is he kidding

[fuckem187]

@whtmansburden08 at the end of the song, he admits that hes just as guilty "man i promise im so self-conscious" but his point is that its hard in our society to see through materialism because of the veils that has been placed over our heads as societies partly due our natural faults and influence from the top people in the world = cashing in on this. on another note hes looking at people who want fame for material items- while kanye has that stuff he became famous for creativity and music.

[whtmansburden08]

@fuckem187 nah bruh, what im saying is.....if u realize or see flaw with something....yet continue to do it and then try to send a message about that imperfection. seems hypocrital to me. its like me telling somebody else they are doing something wrong, while im doin it. now it would be different if he were describing his own PAST behavior. im not sayin dude isnt talented, im sayin dont try to send a message u really dont even buy, in other words...keep it real!

[Dan85]

this is back before he turned into a egotistical prick

[DARQUEknight07]

yea,pride and being proud is one thing,but if this is the case at the expense of others,thats just egotistic!...

[ajfdrums447]

he may be egotistical, but he also is damn good. you cannot deny that he is innovative and good at what he does. lots of people are over confident, but at least he can back up what he says, even if he did cross the line with the taylor swift thing.

[Dan85]

@ajfdrums447 I agree completely. I used to love his stuff back then. I guess i still like his music. I just dont like him as a person.

[IkarnJohal]

@ajfdrums447 yeahh i agree! Kanye West is my favourite artist but wht he did at the vma was fuked. some niggers too dum to relize that.

[ajfdrums447]

ok that was a weird way to say that. but anyways, i just realized this the other day, he says the people highest up do the worst things. now that he is high up he does bad things like the vma incident. isn't that weird to think that almost predicted his bad behavior back when he was first starting out?

[LilMamaJackson14]

love u syleena so pretty

[12345678955454545]

fuck taylor swift. if he means what he says, so whats the problem?

[sxftshrt]

this song is the truth

[jenishere617]

you ppl need to get over this taylor swift shit he said sorry now build a fucking bridge and get over it.

[trsgew19]

just imagine if a white man said "and a black man..." all hell would break loose. fuck you kanye west. and what he did taylor swift was really fucked up. again...fuck you kanye west!

[murphysonia]

Pancadão

[jsi6073]

like his attitude and stage presence in this performance. also the early john legend on the keys... he gots da skillz to pay the billz

[ahlvinf]

the crowd is lame

[llottenn]

aaahw kanye is SO tight

he is fucking genious

[chialibrazil]

man, he knows how to dress.

[josiahsmith2008]

Syleena Johnson is the truth. Love her on this song! Keep it coming Syleena.

[73368]

that line at 2:26 mustve been hecka awkward given the fact that the majority of the crowd was white

[9thDilla]

nah when people make the "white man" reference, they're refering to the wealthiest 1% in the world which the majority if not all is white

All the other bottom 95% white people are the same as every other race because we're at the bottom

[imnotapuppet]

good performance!

[GothicCurls9]

MY GOD. THAT GIRL ON THE VIOLIN IS AMAZING. :D Im so looking up her stuff. (And shes pretty. That hairstyle = you go girl--- :P)

AWSOME PERFORMANCE ;3

[princestati]

she is pretty good on that violin...but...her hair looks a hot mess...it looks like she didnt do anything to it LOL!!!

this song is bomb..real good!!!

[justmeinu]

I'm sorry but this is the Kanye I liked! I don't know what's gotten into him but he need to come back real quick. His music is way too commercial. When he first came out he actually talked about real shit now he's talking about clothes and other crazy shit. But I understand how this "So Called" music industry is. So I guess you get in where you fit in, huh? Oh well, I guess I'll just listen to all of his old stuff. :'(

[EtherealVeracity]

Do you actually listen to his lyrical content?

If you have, then you'd know that the entire point of his "latest stuff" like Graduation and 808s and Heartbreak was trying to display that despite all of the glamor, it's not as great as it seems, and that he's conflicted with who he is and who the media portrays him to be.

I still like Kanye, just because he went famous didn't mean he changed completely.

[justmeinu]

Well you're entitled to your own opinion just like I am. I'm gonna have to disagree with you about when you said "Kanye, just because he went famous didn't mean he changed completely." Kanye did a complete 360, but I'd rather not get into that.

[puppetless]

''I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific'' You can't test those lyrics.

[dumbdick74]

The prettiest people do the ugliest things...........

[ITalkTheTruth]

Lauryn Hill made a good as hook from Mystery of Iniquity.

[teeahtate]

Kanye at his best ---- What happened?

[tyrannosaurusb]

that violin is retarded

[GothicCurls9]

Your retarded ;3

[SexyAzzHell93]

Go Syleena, sing it girl!

[KMELIZ21]

I like this kanye the conscious lyrical rapper kanye...he has fallen off. Haven't appreciated any music of his since this song...

[fuckem187]

completely wrong up till 808's and heartbreaks his music was top class,(how could u say the collegedrropout n late registration and even graduation arent conscious) i didnt like 808s so much but it was a album about the split up of his fiancee and the death of his mother, however what u mean to say is his public image has gone downhill since its humble beginnings.

[KMELIZ21]

no, sweetie I know what I said and it was correct...goodbye and thnxs!

[puppetless]

I like it when he goes ''yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi'' at the end. Nice.

[Kellz325]

he says yea not yi lol

[puppetless]

Nopes. I listened carefully. He's saying ''yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi'' I also doubled checked on a lyrics website. Lol.

[MzDTH]

I;m so sure...

[perdiash]

he's a prick, is really weak now and has no substance...he def sold out...lauryn could take him in singing and rapping any day, wearing heals and a dress.

[philscott29]

i wish kanye would just let her sing on her own for a bit instead of trying to hog the attention throughout the whole song!

[loosecannon499]

Uhhh... because it's his song and she just sings the hook?

[dlogan1291]

It's not Syleena Johnson ft Kanye West ..?

[Koolakobs]

lolsz....its his song tho stupid

[shakeil277]

why didnt lauryn hill perform the song,ever

[lgmeaux]

It's on his remix version.

[ChillFlip]

if lauryn hill was on this it would make the spit so much cleaner

[TheBlueDuckMOE]

[shakeil277]

[Aethopz]
