You got the actual mouth wired shut version on YT (Through the wire Og). This is a rerecorded version. It actually changes a little the verses (for example the "look back on my life like the ghost of christmas past" flow is different. He also said "in the same hospital where biggie and pac died", but latter found pac didn't die there so he changed it for smalls)

[@GB-np4pi]

I cannot wait for you to discover some of his best music. Just like the documentary gave context to The College Dropout, each Kanye album has significant context required to fully understand them. Here's a list of my favorites 808's & Heartbreak - After his mother passed away (he blamed himself for it) and his fiance allegedly cheated on him, this album was born out of pure emotion. It absolutely changed the sound of rap music, introducing emotion, vulnerability, melody, and autotune to the mainstream hip hop fans. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Post-2009 VMA's where he interrupted Taylor Swift, the entire world hated him. He went on a self-imposed exile to Japan and later to Hawaii, and almost killed himself because of the hate he was getting. This album HAD to be great, or his career and life was over....(spoiler alert: this was consistently voted as the album of the decade so yes, it was great) Yeezus - A mask of bravado and narcissism hiding a broken, vulnerable, frustrated Kanye West. Fresh off the success of MBDTF, he couldn't believe he still wasn't taken seriously in fashion. This album also details how Kim saves "Yeezus" (Kanye) from spiraling in fame. The Life of Pablo - Kanye struggles to find identity now that he's gotten everything he wanted, he's made it in fashion/music and is now married with kids. He asks himself which Pablo he is. Picasso (artist)? Escobar (controversial figure/biggest mover of product or shoes)? St. Pablo (family man devoted to God)? The album is a look into his hectic mind, juxtaposing concepts from each of the 3 identities.

He was born and raised from the love of his mother, who also believed in him. I understand why others will mistake that for cockiness or arrogance because they may not have had that true genuine love from a parent. But anyways when it’s all said and done, Kanye West is where Kanye West is today because he worked hard and didn’t look for handouts and is a very smart, intelligent individual.
