@@EOMMunaware bro... The reasoning of them wearing a suit is because when Kanye was creating the album he made sure that everyone who's in the studio, even the engineers were supposed to wear suits at all times. If they weren't wearing one they would get kicked out the studio until they have one on.

this album to me is like when LeBron came back from a 3-1 lead and won the championship. Doubted all the haters

[@bigjohnboatright3811]

Yeah when you think about all the controversy that was surrounding Kanye around this time from that incident he had with Taylor Swift. To him spazzing out in the media & then having that mental breakdown after his mother Donda passed away. My put himself in a self imposed exile went to hideout in Hawaii & emerged from the ashes like a phoenix as a whole new artist.

This was the first album I ever bought, I was 12 and it had the parental advisory sticker on, the guy at HMV asked if I was 13 and I lied and said yeah, I only bought it because I had a gift card and the album cover looked cool, the car journey back was the best journey Ive ever had.

[@deepay1840]

So true

[@slimthugga1]

This is in my opinion, Kanye’s most musically inclined album. He take a moment in every song to just let the music breathe and shine through as the main force in this album. Almost as if the music was more important than any lyric that could’ve been spit.

this is why your channel is my favourite "Dad reacts" type of channel. Man you guys are awesome, and your dad just seems like such a cool and funny guy to be around. Also appreciate the honesty in these reactions. Great video!

[@CultureColours]

The amazing thing about this record isn’t actually that it’s a comeback album and he’s trying to win people over, it’s the fact it’s a complete double down. At this point Kanye was the absolute biggest villain in music. The media, his peers, his fans, everyone hated and ostracised him to the point he fled the country and even contemplated suicide. But he hit a point where he thought "fine. Im not going to apologise for who I am and what I am - because that’s what makes me great. You want me to be the bad guy? I’ll be the bad guy." In the end this was all apart of his dream. The money, the fame, the love, the hate, the fake women, the backstabbers, the loneliness, the controversy… it was all a kind of beautiful dark twisted fantasy of his. “I fantasised bout this back in Chicago…” Can’t start an album in a more perfect way.

The suits! Aaaahhh! Appropriate! Congrats on 50k! I'll never forget my first time listening to this album. Got home with the CD, popped it in, and sat on the couch. No TV on, no snacks,... full, undivided attention. By the time All of The Lights reached its halfway point, my eyes welled up. I kept thinking "He's doing it again. I can't believe it. He's doing it again." As a fan since College Dropout, I was having a hard time understanding how it's possible to put out 5 classic albums in a row. 808s might not have been considered one yet at the time but I fucked with it heavy so the thought was there. Doubt it could ever be done again and we got to see it in real time. 5 in a row. 🔥

On "Power" the "21 century schizoid man" is from King Crimson's debut album back in 1969. They do prog rock and have been for decades. My friend saw them on their 50tg anniversary tour. Huge band that influenced so many. Imagine at their age with 3 drummers on stage. They do some insane shit. I know them because of Tool. They are huge fans and also heavy influenced by them.

[@Supertaldo916]

The use of that sample is nothing short of genius. The first time I heard that song I kept thinking "When is this mf gonna throw the guitar riff out?" And then he didn't and I had to hand it to Kanye. He knew exactly what he was doing cutting it off where he cut it.
