I'll always give it to Kanye. Read about him before he was famous... Every mainstream rapper and producer called him a nerd, and would have their people make sure he didn't start rapping and shit. He would always say to people, "This will be a hit, this is where music should go... When he spit a verse from Jesus Walks... Everyone told him he didn't know anything and to shut up.. He was right. He's always been right. Now! No one's gonna tell him shit about what he should do.. They were always wrong before. So, regardless of the crazy and the celebrity. He's gonna do him because that's the way he got to the top. Gotta respect that.

This beat is a 10. I remember when this first came out I went and bought the album immediately. Late registration is still my fav but this album is right there too

This was one of his best. One of the reasons i like his music.

I have always maintained that this album, Kanye's first, is a top-5 all-time hip-hop album. It wasn't just killer after killer but it came at the height of the bullshit "bling rap" era. Bling rap from broke dudes pretending not to be broke and the tail end of gangster rap from non-gangsters was still all that came out of the mainstream. Then this hit. A dude with a backpack and an opening track saying "drug dealing just to get by". It was what the genre needed. He'll forever be a legend if only for this album (even tho he's made a ton of other amazing music). EDIT: haha, I paused to write the above at the 1 minute mark. 20 seconds later you guys say exactly what I wrote! Thanks for seeing the truth. Rap was 90% garbage when this broke.

Kanye is my favorite artist ever so Im glad yall did this it'd be cool if yall reviewed his song Gorgeous

College dropout album will forever be one of my favorites from Kanye. Just the fact that this song in every aspect being lyrics, production, storytelling, etc. definitely a legendary masterpiece. Like seriously even though if you don't fuck with Kanye as a person ( he be buggin sometimes like when he ditched his concert after ranting lol ) you can't deny the fact that he was one of the revolutionaries in hip-hop that changed the game and he earned that respect and gets credit where credit is due because of his talent. Amazing Reaction/Review Lost In Vegas also I could tell George wanted to keep pausing it more near the end and I really didn't mind cuz it was entertaining lmao.

Kanye is awesome glad he didn't die in the car accident! This song is amazing if your not moving your head & feeling this beat then you appreciate music 🎶! Kanye is pure talent you can play this song over & over it doesn't get old. I blast this in my car ....

Kanye has changed the game with every album drop

I work at the hospital where Kanye got that operation (where biggie smalls died)

Kanye is a genius. He has classics and just ...yeah , easily a legend

Man I am LOVING the enthusiasm y'all bring to the reaction/review also the in-depth analysis not just from a lyrical standpoint but beats etc which you don't really get from other reaction vids out there. Real talk keep up the good shit guys!!

College Dropout is one of my favourite rap/hip hop albums ever made, I was 7 when it came out and my dad found the album in a work vehicle in 2005 a year after it came out and he played it in our old car so much and this album made me fall in love with rap 💯

He rapped this whole song while his jaw was wired shut. Respect 🤘🏼

MF DOOM - Accordion

I smiled so much watching this. Between nostalgia for the joint as well as the fact that ya'll are the only reactioners on youtube that you can really see enjoy and appreciate the music while also breaking it down. Props!

That Emett Till line was conscious and beastly.........ah we miss you Old Kanye

You guys are my favorite reaction vids. The wide array of music you do and your openness is great. Appreciate the content guys keep up the good work!

I'm fairly new to this channel but I am appreciating it to such a high extent. Your thoughts and inputs are sooooooo grasping to hear I swear. Thank you for actually having things to say, it's honestly so refreshing to hear👌👌👌👌

Happy to have come across this review. Loved this song when it first came out and still do. I am so glad I found your channel by watching Chris Stapleton reviews. The thoughtful critique had me hooked and I've been binge watching ever since, not as a fan, but as a supporter 😉. I love the pure joy Ryan expresses when he is drawn to a song. The excitement is infectious. And George, when you take us to school presenting the background a lyric is referencing is sexy as hell. Your face ain't bad either, but that brain. Wooooweeee. Long winded statement to say you both are appreciated and a lot of fun to watch. Keep it up.

First time I've ever heard this. Thanks Ryan and George! Thanks for the lyrics break down too.

Heard this one on my way home and I broke down crying thinking of all the ones who lost their lives with Kobe in that accident. Them kids man. Damn....

I love how you guys breakdown the lyrics, keep up the good work.

This was a good review great job and breaking down the lyrics !!💯

Only reaction chanel that analyzes properly. Love your intellect & knowledge, as much as your personalities. Have just subscribed (coming from someone who doesn't often subscribe). 👍

So psyched you guy gave a shout out to the legend herself and gave some love to the skillful and well though-out sampling. Love the channel, keep it going, y’all.

my favorite vids you guys are the logic and og lyrical musicians. you guys are so real with the reactions keep it up $!

I believe this dropped in 03 I remember living in Elizabeth New Jersey listening to this thinking it was the most impactful song of the year yet we’re we’re only half way into the year. I played it so much, it really spoke to me.

I never listened to the song this was based on, like holy shit I've been missing out. You guys doing a good job making me listen to new things lol. Keep bringing the variety, love the videos.

Great video! Keep 'em coming!

George is a very knowledgeable guy! Some of the best reactors/ reviewers anoine 👍🏻👍🏻 uk fan

The production on this is insane. Great review🙌🏼

lost in vegas THE GOAT REACTION CHANNEL

One of my all-time favorite hip hop albums. I remember buying it the day it came out. This was such a great song and it’s crazy what happened to him.

One of my all-time favorites!!! Kanye is.a genius! Great Review!

when i'm feeling down i watch the live version here on YT . . . makes me feel young again!

Too many of my favorite things going on here I'm down with unbiased-ness, Logic, Russ. Had to subscribe. Keep it up fellas.

Omg this takes me back !! Crazy how songs can just BE part o one's life

Kanye West is a LEGEND and much love guys, much respect Keep the vids coming, addicted heh

Man and i thought people had forgotten this song. Thus was and has been a favorite for many years. Thanks for doing this.

Kanye is my favorite music artist and I've listened to all of his albums at least 4 times all the way through. You guys should definitely do some songs from his later albums

This reaction made me happy

Kanye is a genius. Extreamly talented. Ego aside, I love him. Like Prince, P Funk & MJ he has crossed the line to push music and Hip Hop to a new level. He is the type of artist I would love to work with and why I have learned to respect and love Hip Hop. His production is top of the line, just a great musician. Yes, I said musician. If you think rap artist are not musicians you need to sit in on a session and it will change your mind. Much Love!How about some P Funk? Or maybe some old school rap like PE or Bone Thugs?

I was in 10th grade when this song dropped. Rapping w/ his mouth wired shut, I was obsessed w/ this damn song. You guys pointed out how young blacks like myself didn’t come from a troubled past had someone to relate to.College Dropout is my favorite album. Awesome review you guys!🙏🏿🙌🏿

Thanks so much for this video. I clearly remember my 10th grade year, hearing this song, and realizing that hiphop is far beyond just words. It was so inspiring, because when I first heard it, it was with the music video, and it was so powerful. I knew what he was rapping was real and true, and I could feel the pain and come up in this voice. Kanye is one of a few artist, (Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar, and Common), that I still go out and purchase the physical copies of their projects. This song was the one that officially diverted my ear from the Lil Jon Crunk scene, and made me fully appreciate the Kanye's, N.E.R.D., and Commons of the rap game, much more than I had before this. And I am still riding that wave, Kanye created all those years ago. This video brought back so many good memories, and how this music got me out of a rough time in life, and for that, it is much appreciated. Again, thanks so much for the raw honesty in your videos, the actual breakdown of lyrics and the talk of production and beats. Your channel is unmatched. Take care, guys!

Man I love your guys channel you guys break everything down and actually listen to the lyrics along with the delivery of everything. You guys should do Hail To The King - Avenged seven fold. I know you guys love guitar and I know you guys will love this keep up the awesome reactions man love you guys

College Dropout is one of my favorite albums. So many great tracks.

Eminem- still don't give a f*ck or Kanye West- Ultra light beam

Great review, love the insight. Love that you put the effort on focusing on lyricism, keep up the good work. Subscribe people! Support good shit

Kanye is amazing!!! He is a legend! I love him 😍 and this song is fire 🔥

I'd love to watch you guys react to Lil Dicky - The Antagonist... He talks about what he thinks about modern rappers and is more serious than his usual songs.

Even if it took me some time in my life to really appreciate rap music, this song blew my mind when i heard it for the first time. It's extremely well produced and it just makes me want to dance, now i listen to lots of rap and i often feel inspired by it.

This album was pure flames. Love Last Call as well. Have listened to him talk about his come up over and over again.

Glad y'all finally reviewed Yeezy .. Gud shit🙌🏽

I still love CDs...but I'm 40 so.... I will have to look for this CD. Reminds me of older rap. I love hip hop from the 1990s like A Tribe Called Quest, Heavy D, etc. This sounds good too. Never listened to Kanye West before.

Kendrick Lamar mortal man

Great video again, guys! I'd love to see you react/review J Cole - Love Yourz

I am REALLY loving this content fellas, do keep up the good work. I love how genuine you guys are. By far the best reactors I've seen on KZfaq! By the way, if you get the chance it would be amazing if you guys could check out Fifty in Five by Hilltop Hoods. They are an Australian Rap Group and I think you'll really love their take on Hip Hop.. In either case, amazing work. I look forward to what lies install for your guys future.

that was awesome. Love that yall break down the lines. Im new here so heres my first request Alex Leon on Sway in the Moring. he has a Pac and Bigge Scheme that is Craaazzzyy! He also has a freestyle on funk flex....Barrrsss!

such an under rated song, been saying it forever

keep up the good work 😎 and you guys should do A boogie wit da hoodie - All black

Great song from a great album from a great artist from a great channel! D-12 on Westwood please!

i was never a fan of kanye after this album but i have mad respect for this album and especially this song. not only is he story telling hes got fire bars throughout it

I liked his old shit....maybe a new song here and there, but this is probably my favorite song of his

This is imo, the greatest Kanye song ever

The dopest reaction channel on YT! Can you guys react to Cyhi The Prynce or King Los freestyles on LA Leakers?

Whippin it up by Lil Dicky featuring Brain. It just dropped today and you'll love it. Brain is back !

Happy to see y’all respect kanye.

And just as an idea. Cause i love your channel. You guys should do re-make videos, were you play the original song and the follow up with the newer version of that song. Or how the song was sampled. Just an idea. It would fit this channel. In my opinion

I've never listened to much Kanye but this was fire and you guys y are always putting me onto new music so I'll give this album a listen. Do some more Russ or Eminem. Loved the video guys!!!

Finally!! Yes thank you!! I love this album. College dropout has to be one of your top 5 best albums. I don't care who you are. This is a classic. I feel like this WAS Kanye. Before his mom died he was a beast on the track and then unfortunately when she passed you'll notice he turned into a lot of the things he rapped about hating in a lot of other songs. Great video! Thanks guys!

Please do Devil in a New Dress, Diamonds from Sierra Leone remix with Jay, or Touch the Sky

Love your reactions. Nice to see people give their real thoughts on music and really look into the lyrics. You guys should look at calm down- Busta rhymes and Eminem.

Could you guys maybe do something really metal? A band like parkway drive (old stuff) or maybe Breakdown of sanity, Erra, or Born of Osiris? I'd love to see what you guys think, be sure to check the lyrics out.

Please please do more Kanye. I loved your guys' insight

Man I love when reactors show love to Kanye 🔥🔥 Dude is a fucking legend man. Unless you grew up listening to his music you will never know why he's so amazing. He's in a dark place right now but the same people talking shit ahout him are gonna be the one's crying and talking about how much they miss him when he's gone. Just like they did to MJ. 💯💯 Love your guy's reactions man ! Keep it up guys theyre fyyeeee 🔥🔥🔥

Still one of his greatest songs. Y'all should peep these: Nature of the Threat by Ras Kass All That I Got Is You by Ghostface The Purge by The Game Exhibit C by Jay Electronica Street Struck by Big L Good looks guys keep up with the consistent content.

Loving the unbiased reactions. Getting me to listen to stuff I wouldn't normally. Big metal head so love all the metal love. U guys should react to Die Antwoord. A rap/rave rap group from South Africa. Fatty boom boom!!

Legend track! 🔥🔥 classic album!

Yes! More classic Ye!

This song is brilliant, one of the best rap songs of all time

One of the greatest Hip Hop tracks ever made........EVER

I love Kanye man.

Guys i have a huge question me and my friend were having a giant argument about and i would really likes yalls opinion who’s more influential? Kanye or Wayne , me personally i got wayne, but I’d love to hear your opinion

Great video guys. i really like your channel, Iv been looking for a set of reviewers that did all types of music. You guys do it really good, and your pretty objective about the love you give to the artist. I would like to suggest a Artist. Her name is Sarina Paris she is not as well known. I love all her songs. I really love You Are My Valentine , and look at us now. like i said they are all good. Her music is kinda like dance or teckno. If you would react to one of her songs that would be cool.

Spaceship is one of my favorite songs of all time

Yo Reaction/Review Cam'ron Ft. Kanye West - Down & Out Fabulous - Breathe Jadakiss - All For The Love

Great video. And react to LUPE FIASCO - MURAL

I heavily suggest doing reactions to Mark Battles, very slept on artist. His songs "tired" or "the truth" would be great. You won't regret it!

legendary...i miss this kanye

Love this🙏🏿❤️🇳🇬

Lil ducky - the cypher🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 your boy LD straight kills it

Hey you guys should react to kaan concealed the outro or lonely. Both are very good songs with amazing lyrics.

Oh! Also, it would be cool if you included song lyrics in description.

Great one! You guys should check out Eminems remix of The Hills by The Weeknd. Great wordplay and it's a song that a lot of people don't even know existed so it'd be a sick reaction!

I'd lowkey go ham on the like buttons for your guys shit if i could. Way to highlight real shit and promote positivity. And college dropout is a top 25 all time rap album. Coming from a guy who personally is not a fan of Kanye West, i wont ever take that from him.

I needed to hear this breakdown today! RIP old sane Kanye LOL

Really like the way you guys react on this channel. Could you guys please do a reaction to Run the Jewels - A Christmas F*cking Miracle

Nyck Caution my brother from another mother. Boy got talent

Word. Probably my favorite Kanye song. Now, do Oddisee - Lifting Shadows

Great song make me love him again!!!
