[@CT.ALEXX_]

But for real this album is the best album I have ever heard in my life and I doubt another album will beat this sonically.

[@okayivy]

sonic???????????????

[@cthulhu5707]

That King Crimson sample goes so hard!

[@peter-paulkutschlojenga7336]

Power is my anthem, whenever I'm feeling down I just listen to that song and feel strong again

[@VitruvianVictor]

kanye is the most misunderstood artist

[@Retrora]

That Napoleon Dynamite reference flew over my head for so long

[@okayivy]

will you explain it to me

[@Retrora]

@@okayivy its just a quote from the movie, kanye just says he's going to do whatever he wants to do in the same way Napoleon Dynamite does

[@mikedaniels2738]

Album of the decade now

[@MrLALakerfan24]

This was awesome there were a few I didn’t know! Still today one of my favorite albums of all time

[@Provenom100]

That 21st century Schizoid man edit was clean af

[@ouztsdonovan]

I come back to this video for constant inspiration when making beats. SO GLAD THIS WAS PUT BACK UP🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@twiittter]

My favorite album by Ye, brings back so many memories.

[@naioki444]

Do DOOM's discography when you're done with Kanye

[@Ghostflowers]

That Aphex Twin sample, tho.

[@lurkkker]

Rob Lan supposedly according to Kanyes team it wasn't actually taken from aphex. Kind of a Shame it went down like that

[@shaquillemcneilltahnlord2387]

@@lurkkker nah its totes a aphex sample. theres a funny article about RDJ giving the okay for clearance and how weird kanye was about it..

[@tmanmatt213]

Yeah apparently aphex offered to re-record and clean up the audio for the sample, but Kanye’s team told him it was their sample and not his

[@leonardomurillo6256]

That piano is beautiful

[@ExactlyAndy]

This album truly is the highest level of greatness

[@GintokiSensei-01]

I liked the video before it even started. Fav album ever

[@DigitalVomitTV]

That ending SHOOK me man

[@Milan-ge6ht]

I loved how he used the dark knight quote

[@theafrospacecowboy]

The ending of this video got me with goosebumps... BANDSTAND always doing major things with the art of sample decoding!

[@Andrew-zb7vj]

The sample on Gorgeous and So Appalled are insaneeee

[@Hidden_Seeker_]

I love that you didn't just have direct samples but also included references he makes

[@Emincem13]

Love this album kanye really produced a masterpiece. mad props to bink and m dean for the devil in a new dress sample too

[@gabrielkiss5636]

the hendrix of sampling, the best album in history of music

[@itstymyguy]

I think the most powerful aspect about this video is the stark difference between the music and visuals in the samples, which portray an early American dream, to the music and visuals portraying the dark reality, or fantasy rather, of Kanye’s American dream.

[@073gaming4]

If these are the samples that got cleared imagine the ones that didn’t

[@josedeleon7550]

4:05 he wasn't lying

[@znatk]

OMGGG thanks for coming back all these videos, they are the best FUCKKK, I'm going to cry T_T *FUCK GENIUS .I.*

[@jajararakoi8000]

I had no idea he sampled aphex twin!

[@Jerrycourtney]

In terms of production, sampling, performance, this is the greatest record *_ever_* made. It truly is a masterpiece.
