Kayne West - Home Coming ORIGINAL from 2002

The original version of Home Coming aka Coming Home from 2002, back before most of yall were listening to Kanye West. Back when he had the hilarious freestyles about girls and all that.

[@BusyBee11226]

Kanye himself gave me this tape in South Beach for Memorial Day weekend. Fucking amazing how far he’s come.

TO THIS DAY!!! (WILDER VOICE)

[@VISIONBTS]

bruh

[@holzman00]

I always viewed Homecoming as a song about Kanye reflecting about the consequences of his success. But the fact that he made this song before he even blew up adds a whole new layer to it.

[@ozzie_]

what I love about kanye is that he made this song as an ode to Chicago

The version on graduation is sick but you can't beat the soulful original. Another masterpiece from the genius that is Mr. West.

[@trentonoliver6328]

Fr I’m from the country part of Indiana a couple of hours away from Chicago I’ve been there numerous of times but Chicago rap has always been one of my favorite genres of music because of the struggle it talks about relates to the Midwest basically we’re all in the rust belt states we’ve all been hit by poverty etc but everyone just has a dream to make it big someday but doesn’t sadly

[@JewelzFin]

As a true Kanye fan I heard this before he re-released it. I always loved this version better. So much soul!... I don't like when people say they want the old Ye back. I just want him to be himself. He always inspires me and my music. Jewelz Finazzo will always be grateful to Kanye West. Had posters of him on my wall before I even knew he was a rapper (Old Source Magazine pics from when he surfaced as one of the producers of the Roc).

[@Moto_Bandito]

Amen

[@onlyone23km]

I can see why. It has that hometown kid vibe to it.

[@tomignacios3668]

Nah I want the old ye back. Asking him to be himself is a danger to himself at this point in time.
