Kanye is a musical genius Andre is a master poet

The “Dear Donda” from Andre hits different for me

hearing DMX at the end really touch my heart. X was a lot of things, but those kids really lost a father. We need our black kings

The world need a 3000 album damn bro ( this aged badly ) 😂

I’m experiencing so many different emotions with this. It’s so many layers to it. Andre 3000, The Dramatics in the background, the late great Ron Banks’ voice, Biggie’s voice, Total’s no one else remix beat, Biggie & DMX! Rest In Peace. Hearing DMX protect, reassure & encourage his daughter brought me to tears. This is an instant classic, the type of music that music lovers crave. I love this, it’s completeness and substance for me. Kanye’s depth and vast knowledge of music, and his ear for it. Sounds like Chicago in the Summertime, mixed with an old school basement party.

My god Andre My god. I just shed a tear bc i understand exactly what he is saying. I love how delicately you see this world

That DMX sample at the end gets me every time man

3 stacks flow is like water. Damn he makes it seem effortless

"No coincidence they both died from heart conditions" 💔 😔 (straight goosebumps)

I love Kanye, I have been 10 toes down from jump for Kanye.... The Truth will prevail.

I lost my momma in 2016 and it still feel like it happened yesterday. Hearing Andre 3000 verse brought tears to my eyes because that’s exactly how I feel. Respect to the both of them. Losing a loved one hurts don’t get me wrong but when ya momma pass away…. Lord bruh….

"Donda was the best ghostwriter I ever had."

3 stacks verse get me every time I hear this. I lost my momma 1999 the worse day of my life. She had 3 degrees from Chicago had 3 sons and died when I was 13. Lord do I miss my momma everyday. She was a Ms Donda she spoke life into us. I was my school president 7th and 8th grade because my momma I'll never forget.

DMX at the end brought tears to my eyes. This is a great piece of work. 3 of my favorite rappers. Long live X

Andre bars just makes me.... want to hug my mother until the end of times.

We need a full album of Ye and 3k. Talk about a masterpiece waiting to happen.

It's a nostalgic song about mourning parental loss. We're remembering the special people who are no longer here, but their presence and influence are still felt. Ye and Andre do this on a personal level by mourning the ghosts of their parents, but they also remind us of the forefathers of hip-hop who've also since left us. Even bringing back Andre 3000 was bringing back a living ghost before it departs like how B.I.G and DMX did - a reminder that we need to love people when they are still alive. Genius

This song is legendary. I always get goosebumps listening to dre verse. It's uncanny, the delivery, cadence. It's a conversation and we all in on it. Classic material

Andre 3 stacks understood the assignment when Bruce Lee said “Be water, my friend”. Flow so efficient, so effortless.

“Donda was the best ghost writer I ever had” yooooo😢🙏🏽💫

Kanye and 3000 thanks for this, I felt my brother and sister passing in this song. This is Chicago in this song. I have no clue how y’all seen this vision but you definitely touched the ear of your fans. 3000 if you never make another album this verse alone was enough for a lifetime, instant classic.

This is probably my favorite song in the last decade like this it's just beautiful

3 stacks just gave is almost 3 minutes of pure POETRY. Searching for a meaning to death.

I got goosebumps as soon as this beat came on....crazy

Andre 3000 flow actually makes me feel a certain type of way. It’s just fluid ❤

There's so much depth to this track. You could listen 1000 times and still come back to hear something new touch you inside.

Literal chills on Andre's verse. My heart is warm.

André 3000’s verse might be the best in rap history. I don’t think that’s an exaggeration at all…

Yo I lost a brother in the pandemic to suicide. I can say X saying he was there means the world to me in this. Give thanks my brother!

He chose the right person for this . Thank you two for a great song. I feel this.. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Who else has rewound Andre's verse like 20 times?

Simply Artistic Therapy... so deep

" Miss Donda , you see my momma tell her I'm lost "💔 lost my mom at the age of 7 , I never really got to know her & that gets to me everytime just wondering what kind of person she was . I'm now 21 & went through quite alot from being mistreated by stepmother to losing my father at 19 whilst writing my final exam at high school , being affiliated with street shit(because I lost guidance) , to living outside my comfort zone for some years coz I had to move out from my father's house , while tryna figure out a way to make it out the hood but then had to watch some of my dreams go down the drain due to certain circumstances. Constantly wondering how my life would be like if my dad & mom was still alive.💔 Andre verse got me so emotional & took me all the way back , felt that shit in my fucking soul.

This song is a masterpiece 🔥

I'm so greatful for 3k verse. The honesty and transparency. I actually cried listening to it. Thank you

Goosebumps, heart palpitations, slow, steady breathing - that's what this gives me STARTING with hearing 3 Stacks in his poetic flow followed by the musical genius, Ye. This on repeat still...

This song came to mind (specifically Andre 3000’s verse) when I heard Kendrick’s meet the grahams.

I’m so in love with this song 4 legends Kanye, Andre 3000, Notorious BIG, and DMX 😍😍😍😍

The best version. Love this.❤️❤️❤️

Why 3 stacks you left the rap game hip hop still needs you bro your the Goat

I love this version also , mostly because it extends the song , and I want it to continue.

😭 them noises ye was making at the end of the song had me on the floor

These 2 are the most influential and game changing artist of all time! These 2 are Real Rap 💯

This is one of the most ridiculously good songs I have ever heard. Blown away. ✌️

"Faith driving us like a Rolls Royce.." Deep. Also, shout out to singer and actress, the great Mrs. Leslie Uggams. She covered the Dramatics song and Ye produced one of his best tracks EVER!

POETIC .Lyrically compelling verses that moves my soul soundtrack sexy , jazzy and strong......

Two of my favorite and the greatest lyricist of all time spitting on an angelic beat…. then honoring a real “angel” in this and one of the greatest ever to do it at the end… and people wonder why I love “Ye” 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾 #LEGENDARY

I can't imagine losing my mom's but this is going to be my go to song when it happens, so heartfelt and beautiful. Thank you 2 legends

This is a Masterpiece 🖤

Andre 3000 is the greatest rapper of all time

i could listen to this song for 30 hours straight.

As soon as 3000 said, "Aye Ms. DONDA!" Instant chill bumps!!

Andre 3000 has been first on my top five for a minute now I mean the way he talked to Kanye’s moms to talk to his moms …. For some reason seems as tho he was speaking for me to my moms 🥲So many layers of thoughts run thru my mind … I’m fucking inspired, mind blown and jealous at the same time wit this song 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥✊🏾🤯🤦🏽💪🏾

This is the collab we all needed. these two need to drop a body of work together it will be a classic 👌🏿 this was musical perfection

DMX comforting and reassuring his baby did it for me😔 RIP Ms. Donda and DMX 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

When Kanye wants he can summon that Rocafella era 2000s vibe 🔥 🐐

This man said you may not like me you going to feel me that's real

This transiton from the 1st verse to the 2nd verse was 🔥

Andre 3000 need to drop a long awaited album. Like now.

The way he slid that little snippet of the “can't you see” total beat. That was clever

Love it, WELCOME BACK YE!!!! GET YA KIDS!!!

Absolutely heavenly.

Man its Awesome to see 3000 Smiling

I miss you momma, 2014 was life changing for me… Thanks 3000!!!

Every so often, we get masterpieces that can conjure up all kinds of emotions and responses. It's crazy to think that if we continue to get hits like this, hip hop will always remain. Some things just have to happen, and this one definitely is a banger.🙏🏾

I’ve been battling depression for years but this song makes me feel okay anytime I listen to it😞

I can't listen to the end without tearing up all I think about is the time I've spent with my parents and my daughter I want her to be the best her and love life

Dang. Good luck on your journey Ye. Prayers for your mind. The mind of a genius is very fragile. Dope song. Dope message.

3000 is that cold drank wen u dehydrated. The way he see life blessing fo me

KANYE…!!!!!!! 🔥 3000…..!!!!!! 🔥 THIS IS AMAZING….!

If andre didn't steal the spotlight, This song would be recognised as Old school kanye revived, Ye abostuley tears it up so does andre we know that already tho, But the beat and Ye's flow is nostalgic and Fireee

"Give 'em enough of their own rope to hang 'em with The paparazzi never really got what my angle is They treat my married life like some type of entanglement My neighbor still dissin', wonderin' why I ain't sayin' it I can smell the setup, that's that 2Pac in Vegas hit". This is elite poetry from Ye. Kendrick’s good too, but never quite nails the music as Kanye’s. Ain't no one can beat Kanye’s talent in that studio room.

Why am i JUST NOW hearing this?!?! Dopeness!

Straight up this a Dope track. This is the true definition of Hip Hop. Straight Fax no printer...

Man, 3 stacks verse gets me every time mane. I can listen to homies words for an hour straight.

I wish X heard this song.

The best on the album. Andres hook had me in tears. The end took me out!

With 2 Ye verses, 3K part is still most replayed on loop. GOAT🐐 Even wilder, Andre has a tone, timbre, and texture to his voice that seemingly only gets better over time. Every year that passes I feel like his verses get that much richer, coupled with his rare, alien like appearances. All whilst sounding so laid back like it took a few second to perfect. Like you asked him a question and he answered

When Ye talks his shit like this its over for everyone else In the game🔥

The ending had me teared up

That DMX outro his so hard 🔥💯🙏🏽

So rare I listen to something and it has more emotional impact on repeat listens, fucking love this andre verse

For real Rap fans 🤜🏾🤛🏾

I’m crying this is totally happening we as king and queens have to protect our children and teach them everything we no before this world put false tales in there head facts love you always Kanye west I just feel like there gonna take you off the earth before we even love you even more 😓😓😓

2 Geminis on a track!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This hit deep. Keep fighting brothers 💪💪

That touched every raw nerve! I don't know whether to cry, bounce or sit numb...I had a moment. I'll be back to work it out though!

I love Drake and I don't want him and Ye to have issues but Ye got at him on this one. Bout time he stood up for himself. He set him, Trav and CyHi straight.

Hearing that DMX at the end, hits me all the time

Ms Donda, Please speak to my momma Cynthia Golden too. FOREVER YOUNG, March 28 2022 . F@K CANCER, 4EVER A MOMMA'S BOY

3000 even fixing his mouth to say hey Ms Donda made me cry

Classic Kanye!!! "And my favourite principal name was Mrs. Wooten/ she was strict, the perfect instructor for young Putin/ Vladimir/ just so that it's clear/ whom should we fear/ when we know dad is here/..."

It’s 2024 I just heard this for the first time …broke down 3x this is absolutely what music is supposed to be … Thank you for this classic

The hell if Stacks ain't the Goat

I can listen to this non stop

3000 is everything 🙌🏾

The unreleased verse is somewhere in the top 10 Kanye verses.

X at the end with his kids on the ride Melts my heart ❤️❤️❤️

You instantly know its a hit as long as Andre is in it🙌

Lol imagine how BLOWN AWAY Kanye was when he heard Andre’s verse 😆🤦🏽‍♂️! I would have pissed my pants! I respect Ye’s effort though 👍🏽
