No matter what Kanye does or how irrationally he acts in the present day, nothing will ever take away from the fact that he’s made some of the best music in his generation.

He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation He made graduation

“Reach for the starts so if you fall, you land on a cloud.” What a lyricist. ❤

"Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud" is still one of the hardest bars in any song ever

Its funny to think that back then I didn't like Kanye, now he's my favorite artist of all time

I joined the military and was gone from home for 10 years. I relied on this song to make it back home and be with my friends and family. This song was my lifeline. I got out of the military and my family and friends were different. I came home but my home wasn't there. Listening to this song is like sitting in the past and I remember the good times. I wish I never joined so that I could have held onto what made me feel whole-family and friends. Now, I use the music that was out when I joined to remember the past. It gives me goosebumps. I wish things were the way they were before but time moves on.

Chris martins voice is so unique and it sounds like it’s own instrument I love this song

Literally one of his best songs

bruh this shit so hard

The fact that Chris of all people collaborated with Kanye is just amazing, it's a clear example of how two people from different genres can make a masterpiece.

It remains one of my favourites among Kanye's huge, impressive catalogue, Chris also gives it that beautiful nostalgic feeling. Timeless classic!!

Sept 3rd '23 Keep playing that fire music. This album helped me make it thru my old military days. Classic always!

Listening to kanye being cencored is like holding in a sneeze

When this song released..... Damn, you just HAD to have been there. They don't do music like this no more.

This is in my opinion, Kanye’s best work. The storytelling, the hard lyrics, but most of all Chris Martin’s feature. Dude’s voice is actually angelic. I could listen to “baby do you remember when, fireworks at lake michigan?” for hours

Who’s listening to this masterpiece in 2024? Kanye West x Coldplay 4EVER!! 🎉❤

He is one of the greatest artists that ever lived

It's crazy how rap/hip-hop has changed. Things like this are considered classics.

“Do you think about me now and then” this part hit hard for me, I transferred schools for highschool I always think about if my friends from before thought about me after I left and transferred I took the harsh reality and that no one will remember me. “Maybe we Can start again” I always thought the ups and downs of transferring like I could start again but yet I couldn’t forget the memories in the back of my mind. This song has a special place in my heart from Ye’s quotes in the song and Chris martins quotes too

My favorite Kanye song, my childhood right there

Even in 2022, this song still gives me chills. You can feel this in your soul.

Chris Martin killed this shit

i hope his kids can look past his behaviour over the past few years and see what he has actually achieved with his music. he was one of the best in the history of hip hop

This song still hits hard 🔥🔥🔥

Arguably the best catalog in Hip Hop. The man doesn't miss.

Can we just talk about the fact that NO ONE makes music like this anymore

Who is starting June 2024 with this one?

anyone here to listen to this masterpiece in 2024 june?

12 years later and this is still GOLD.

This song is to Chicago what Empire State of Mind is to NYC

I am sad, sad for whats happening right now but at the same time extremely grateful for this man's existence, he is a genius a virtuoso and a master of his craft who gave me so many good memories through his art, I will always be greatful to you for your music and will always respect as creator and a musician Thank you Kanye

no two artists will ever top this collaboration in my opinion

These piano chords should be illegal for being too good and for staying in your head for a month+

After watching his documentary on Netflix, I love his songs even more. He really hustles to get that deal and respect to Donda, who was always supported him.

This song is amazing. When I listen to it, it flies by so fast, I have to replay it over and over! It's needs 2 more verses lol

Kanye's 2000's rap records are divine philosophies. Must be complied and preserved ASAP

I don't get why Chris Martin doesn't get recognition for this song. A lot of people get their names on the song for lot less

The nerve of people thinking Drake could beat Kanye in a versus..

OMG this is one of my very favorite Kanye West songs. Along with heartless, flashing words, Jesus walks, and so many more.

Who is here in 2024

Finally a Billionaire, Well done Mr West.

Glad I've gotten to experience one of the best artist of all time

The song fits perfectly with CM Punk's return since Ye is rapping about Chicago and coming home again 😂

Its been about maybe 6 months since ive been a kanye fan and hes the best rapper ive ever heard, his songs and lyrics have helped and inspired me so much i honestly feel uplifted when i hear them, i mainly focus on his good songs which is difficult since there are so many, kanye has helped me in so many ways, just to hear the instrumental of god is or the opening to father streh my hands, kanye is a rapper like no other.

chris martin with the piano hits HARD

People ignoring the fact that Chris played the piano and sang the great hook that made the song

Kanye’s music back then use to speak directly to my soul

This song will be remembered for me as I am growing up right now thank you Kanye for making my day happy

This song is just perfect The production, lyrics and the hook by chris martin Everyone whos hatin on yeezy get fuck out

Kanye I know you won’t see this but you are amazing keep making amazing music like this!

I flippin adore this song

One of my favorite artists no matter what his struggles are he can communicate his feelings through music and affect everyone with it

I'm a big Coldplay fan and I'm also a fan of Kanye West. This song is a real gem. Graduation is one of my best Kanye's album. Kanye wanted stadium status like Coldplay and he got it. He's phenomenal.

the beat to this song is so good i can’t explain it

This is a classic. I have to play this from time to time. It takes back to my childhood a bit. Treat everybody like you want to be treated.

After 11 years since this song had been released Im just realising that Chris Martin from Coldplay is on the piano.

Kanye I don't know if you ever ready comments on your content but I hope you read this. You're music along with DMX and Jay Z's kept me going in the worst times of my life. Depressed, suicidal, seeing no future, to now as a very successful professional teacher abroad. Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm grateful for all I have and for all who helped me in my life. Thank you Kanye. Much love my brother. May you forever be blessed.

When I listen to this after many years you realize how hard Kanye was repping his city his culture and his country He is a musical god an undeniable icon an I’m realiazin it even more now listen back Respect Kanye

Thru it all Kanye Legendary don't forget 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥

Ye wrote a whole Chi-Town anthem and people didn't realize it they need to play this in the Chicago airport as soon as u land

Damn the comment section is filled with people that just discovered the song or just realized how good he is

They call Kanye Crazy I call Kanye a genius This is beautiful music

a fkn classic this won’t never get old🔥🔥.

So many people complain about how much of a "rude, disrespectful, and outrageous" person Kanye West is, but at the end of the day, the man is completely talented with what he does. He makes true art, and although he may be very opinionated, aren't we all? I give him so much respect for his hustle. I hope one day I can inspire the world with my music the way Kanye continues to do each day. Feel free to give my songs a listen, if you like what you hear, that's all that really matters to me.

Personally, Kanye is one of the greatest artist of all time. In sense of music, design and everything, so a ARTIST

My favorite Kanye West I want this played at my funeral 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾⚰️

this song is one of my favorites of kanye... i just love the vibe.. its too good.

Come back classic Kanye !! Come back please! :(

Listened to this yesterday at my graduation. The sound of the kids yelling seniors through the halls as we headed towards the field. The smiles of everyone and the cheering will forever be engraved in my mind. Class of 2022

Thank you kanye for this beautiful music...

I started to actually listen to kanye for like 1 month, and his music is just perfect, with his music it's like to go in heaven, but unfortunately, when he says what he says he brings me back down to earth.

There is a thin line between genius and insanity, very creative people will often seem irrational at times, Kanye has made some of the best music of our generation. College dropout is still my top 3 all time albums.

I honestly think kanye is the greatest rapper of all time. He puts in so much creativity in his music that makes it so special.

I remember when this song came out, and It's still so amazing. To me, this is Kanye West's best song and a all time classic song. Cool video. ^_^

I really miss this Kanye I want the old Kanye back bless your heart you’re so smart & talented ❤️🙏🏾

I was 8 years old when this song was released, but I had never heard it until this year. I'm 20 now. This song somehow feels like a nostalgia for a time I never experienced, but one I unconsciously lived through.

I don't miss the Old Kanye I miss the 11 year-old me 💔.

It’s 16 years ago and still one of the best songs of all time.

Ye A Real One. God Bless You Brother!!

One word for this song is Nostalgia

the censoring on this video is beyond absurd....really you're gonna censor "go downtown"

I wasn’t really into Kanye but I decided to try this one since it had Coldplay in it. Let’s just say this is now my favourite song in the world ❤😂

Still vibing with this song in 2024 with a lot of flashbacks

I'm coming home again. Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again. [Verse 1 - Kanye West] I met this girl when I was three years old And what I loved most she had so much soul She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but, My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and, From that point I never blow her off, They can come from outta town I like to show her off, They like to act tough, she like to tow em off, And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding And I told her in my heart is where she always be She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave She said it felt like they walked and drove on me Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again I'm in home again Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again [Verse 2 - Kanye West] But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport, To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her It always seems like she talking about me, She said you left your kids and they just like you They wanna rap and make show beats just like you, But they just not you and I just got through Talking bout what she can try to do just not new Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong I guess you never know what you got till its gone I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home And guess when I heard that when I was back home Every interview I'm representing you making you proud Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around, And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chi Town, [Chorus - Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then? Do you think about me now and then? Cause I'm coming home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again I'm in home again Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we can start again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh Coming home again Maybe we can start again

Kanye caught a lot of flak for bringing Chris Martin (British dude) on a song about Chicago, but I always thought it was a valid, deliberate stylistic choice. This song isn't just a love letter to Chicago--it's a song about Kanye's changing relationship to Chicago after he's become a famous, world-touring artist. If you've ever returned to your hometown after a long absence and a bunch of new life experiences, you do end up feeling like a foreigner in some ways.That outsider feeling is what Ye is trying to convey by having his inner voice of yearning for home be performed by a guy with a British accent. "Homecoming" is actually a pretty bittersweet song in that regard, because it acknowledges that while Chi is Ye's home, it will never fully be his home again. There will always be a part of him that feels foreign to it.

Who is here in May 2024

This music still is so good after 14 years.He makes the best music

Best Kanye song ever made. God if you give us old Kanye, we'll give you present Kanye.

I've listened to this song for 12 years and it only hit me now that the girl he met when he was 3 years old is his hometown Chicago. fuuck

One of the most upbeat songs EVER.

This song never grows old in my mind. Always a great balad.

One of the greatest hooks of a kanye song

Chris Martin killed this. Huge underrated part of the success, took me years to notice it.

When i was in another country with my Uncle he introduced me to this song whilst it was played on his Spotify playlist list.I love him and Kanye alot and this song always reminds me of him. Absolute Tune❤

this is not only my favorite Kanye song, but it is probably my favorite song ever. Elite

they blocked the words "going downtown?" fucking vevo and youtube lol

ive had this on repeat for a week straight now

Kanye make the best songs💯💯

I love this song, I've wanted to go back to my home in Chicago after my parents moved but I'm going back in August

God, this gives me chills every time I hear it. How can you listen to this and not admit he's talented.
