    look i'm a kanye fan and i thought his newest album was amazing but all of ya'll coming here saying shit like "YEEZY BROUGHT ME HERE" need to get a nice brick to their dome for desecrating a powerful, influential song that was a big part of the reason people like kanye west could make a fucking album in america

    all of you people need to read a history book or something. christ.

    it weird how people don't realize that the "strange fruit" was dead bodies of forgotten african americans swinging off cotton tree limbs. i love kanye's sample of this song..but compared to the message of this song and his interpretation of it...i kinda wish he didn't sample this song...

    LOL look up the term 'Strange Fruit', how you gonna tell me bruh? I am black, but you don't have to be black to know what Strange Fruit is, bottom line is I learned about it and he could have used a different sample, and I know who tf is in TNGHT, Hudmo and Lunice should have known better, but at the end of the day its said and done. some songs you should just not touch. I am not racist, I am one of the nicest, but BOTL was cringe worthy and it felt like he only sampled this to seem "deep".

    Gotta discover stuff somehow.... You arent going to read about Billie Holiday in a school book... I dont think its a bad thing, anything that brings light to good music is great to me...
