This was a super exciting one to do with my dad! I have been waiting patiently to show him Kanye. Thus far, I have primed him with earlier hip-hop acts like Tupac, Biggie, DMX, Slick Rick, The Fugees, in order to get him ready for this moment. Kanye is possibly my favourite popular artist of all time, so I cannot wait to show him Kanye's other albums.

Another wholesome episode, you did it again Kai. I’ll download it just because you gotta support your homies. I’d love to see some Mavi maybe “five minutes writing from the bottom” or “self love” but keep doing you, we love to see it!

[@stevehardison8768]

The voice in the Interludes is someone imitating the voice of Comedian Bernie Mac.

[@stevehardison8768]

Jesus Walks was the only song I heard your dad curse while listening to. Remember Kanye West was snubbed as Jesus Walks was removed from the Stellar Gospel Awards, as Christians protested Jesus Walks causing Jesus Walks to be removed from the Ballot.

[@frontroom]

@@kaibarnes4892 Thanks for reminder on that Mavi, Kai! Appreciate you a lot :) Atlas VPN is something that I used in high school a ton, and it works great. So if you ended up downloading it I’m sure you will be pleased!

[@richiestarks6163]

Not only did Kanye rapped, he produced the whole entire album. A well rounded artist.

[@averyb.476]

Well rounded is an understatement. Kanye one of the greatest musicians and artist ever in my opinion

[@richiestarks6163]

@@averyb.476 In my opinion, Prince is the greatest musician and artist ever. As far as saying he is well rounded; he has a great producer ear. He can’t play much instruments. He samples and brings together great musicians to make legendary masterpieces. Gotta give it to my man NO ID for mentoring Kanye. Don’t get me wrong he is a creative genius but not the greatest ever.

[@averyb.476]

@richiestarks6163 I can respect that for sure as Prince definitely was the man! I guess to me as an hip hop fan I like Kanye's songs more than Prince's. Also Kanye got a crazy discography as an artist, but also the things he produced are also iconic like songs and albums for Jay Z and Wayne

[@haychlc]

@@averyb.476 honestly I agree. It’s hard to place a top musician of all time because there’s been so many great ones like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Micheal Jackson, Prince etc but Kanye is definitely in the conversation

[@LJ.]

​@@richiestarks6163Kanye is pretty cold on the drum machine.

[@natnael1919]

My favorite part is when you guys peek over at one another during the song - either checking if dad is enjoying it or dad looking over to confirm he caught a reference or a dope line haha

[@BigCrossVita]

Same 😊

[@TheWhitemic]

The fact that Kanye opens with…”if this is your first time hearing this, you are about to experience something so cold” is the best part of the first 6 min and 11 seconds.

[@oh_thats_netta2754]

@Thewhitemic That line just gave me chills because this is the dad's literal first time hearing this! The irony was beautiful!

[@Joakibasito]

The other meaning would be to introudce ALL Kanye discography, the "cold" stuf isn´t over 20 years later@@oh_thats_netta2754

[@colliereeka]

Back in 2004 this was the most groundbreaking thing I ever heard. Dr. Dre used to be considered the best producer at the time, but Kanye West's new sound really gave him some competition

[@seankiesling2054]

Yes... extremely groundbreaking. And, in 2004 I was with the one and only girl I've ever loved who unfortunately miscarriaged our child and this album was not only the hottest thing out at that very moment in my life we would take car rides listening to this album. So, on top of it being innovative and groundbreaking it holds a ton of sentimental value to someone like me. So many memories attached to this album for me and hearing it all over again is SO nostalgic its almost spooky and almost a little overwhelmingly nostalgic/sentimental. This album is just simply a master piece

[@DaveTheDopeFiend]

RZA, DJ Premier, Pete Rock?

[@colliereeka]

@@DaveTheDopeFiend NO ID, 9th Wonder, JDilla. I'd say most of them are probably objectively better than Kanye from a straight up hip-hop point of view. I was talking more from what was hitting the masses in the mainstream. You're right though

[@tupacshakur214]

Kayne Sampled Dre. At least the drums. I think from Xplosive or something. It's been a minute, don't quote me.

[@ambercontreras1110]

When your dad said "I've never heard anything like this before" with tears in his eyes" my heart nearly burst. That's exactly how I felt as a kid in Chicago listening to Kanye on the train platform - this album is a masterpiece. Heavy and joyous transcends genres and time. Couple fun facts Twista, also from Chicago is so fast he actually held the Guinness Word Record for most words in a minute for a time. And Anna Nicole Smith was in the video for Workout Plan such a fun tongue -in-cheek track.

[@jayhearn8477]

Kanye actually recorded “Through The Wire” with his jaw wired shut. That’s why he says “I drink a Boost for breakfast and an Ensure for dessert, somebody ordered pancakes I just dipped the syzurp” (also a reference to rappers back then would mix cough syrup with sprite or Mountain Dew). Also “When it All Falls Down” originally sampled Lauren Hill and Lauren wouldn’t clear the sample, so they couldn’t use it, that’s why he says at the end of it “Selena you just like a safe belt, you saved my life” because she came in at the very last minute to sing that part and get it on the album.

[@taneshah.1260]

Lauryn doesn't clear anything, apparently. They tried to use a line from one of her songs in "Hamilton" and she wouldn't let them. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@smittybenzo4693]

Dad was spot on with Jesus Walks when he said he pictures Jesus carrying the cross because in the music video, Jesus is literally in the hood carrying his cross.

[@mccartyzoe]

Wow. 🤯 I didn’t know ….. I need to see that video

[@freemoves9610]

Triple entendre with the "first aliyah now Romeo must die" lyric. Aliyah died in 2001 plane crash, she also starred in the movie "Romeo must die" with Jet Lee. But also Romeo was a character from the Steve Harvey show played by Actor Merlin Santana who was murdered in 2002.

[@frontroom]

Wowww! Never knew this, thanks for the information 😌

[@MzNina313]

He did this album, pushed it, made videos for all without the help of his label. Did with his own money and blew up. He really truly is the goat

[@jaseallenson316]

To me, this albums production is elementary compared to Ye's production on Commons Be. Its so much more fine tuned and elevated. And common absolutely kills it lyrically. An absolute masterpiece.

That's the comedian Bernie Mac that starts the album out with that skit I've enjoyed your reaction videos for a while now glad to see some sponsorship coming in let's keep those numbers growing. There's a song called Walk This Way with Run DMC and Aerosmith it came out in 1986 roughly. I think your dad will enjoy that. That is literally the 1st rap song to crossover. That's also the year of the Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill album a true true hip hop classic

50:00 the rapper Twista featured on “Slow Jams” once held the Guinness World Record for fastest rapper. He’s also from Chicago, Kanye’s hometown. Been famous since the 90’s so having him as a feature was pretty cool

[@STAR234GAMEPLAY]

This will forever be my favourite Kanye album cause of the themes talked about. Not saying his other albums don’t talk about similar themes but every song feels so conscious of either Kanye himself or the society we live in. It’s hard to replicate such a piece of art after someone starts to experience fame and riches.

[@blasianray]

The quality of the songs on this album really shows how much work was put into this album. Four years of recording, writing, and mastering by himself on his DEBUT ALBUM.

[@hellbus80]

Kanye was a very underated rapper back then......super clever and his cadence was great. Because his rhymes were easily understandable people confuse it with simplicity but if you look closer you see the multi syllable rhymes and internal rhyme schemes that make him sneaky technical .

[@ddl3718]

It’s because he had to prove he could rap. At the time he was called crazy for being a producer “who could rap”. After this and late registration he reserved his real rapping for special occasions (ie songs on watch the throne, and the recent off the grid).

[@hellbus80]

@@ddl3718 my opinion he fell of lyrically after graduation, and it was a very steep drop

[@PrettySaditty1920]

I used to clean my college apartment to this album...beginning to end, it's a classic NAS - I Can also had kids sing the chorus

[@Macadilehunter17]

I want to shout you out and its for a couple of reasons. 1. Listening to black music and having an open mind to their struggle, how they see their world, and not just focusing on cuss words or whatever, I mad respect that. 2. Catching melodic interpretations and being open to the explanation of bars. 3. Bridging the gap and showing what being a dad is. Thats big time in my book, it really shows you enjoy exploring what your son is into 👊🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾

[@MichaelCouture87]

I could write a full page on what I loved about this reaction, but I'll keep it simple and just say that a reaction to the Kanye documentary (Netflix) would be incredible...and it doesn't even need to be the normal reaction (directly to the content), but simply having your dad watch the documentary and you guys having a talk in the backyard/garden about it would be dope! There are so many behind-the-scenes windows into this album that help to build the full picture of just how incredible it was.

Second this!

Through the wire is one of my favorites. Its crazy to me that he recorded that song with his jaw wired shut. Which is why it's named that obviously. But it's inspirational that he can make that good of a track and still rap like that with his jaw wired shut. So motivational to me. Great reactions as always!

I was fortunate for this album to be my introduction into hip hop. I receive this album in 💿 form with my first CD player for Christmas when I was 15. This album has a very special place in my heart. I know every line, word for word.

Love you both, and how your relationship bleeds through your reaction. Awesome! And Yes, “Through the wire”, was his very first single off the album. His jaw was wired shut while he was recording. Chaka’s song is called through the fire. His song is called through the wire, because he’s rapping through the wires that has his jaw shut. It’s extremely poetic. It’s symbolic of how he overcomes any obstacle to do what no one thinks he’s able to do.

You 2 are just wonderful humans. I've been watching since day 1 and I love the concept and how you present it. There is so much respect and admiration between you guys and its just lovely. Great you have some sponsorship, it's deserved. Keep it up.

Love seeing your dads enthusiasm - knowing who Ye is, but not having heard. It's infectious hahaa

One of my favourite albums. Ever. Bought it soon after its release. Brings back so many memories seeing this video, and listening to the album with you two. Thanks 👍✌️😎

[@christopherwilliams5791]

I loved your dissection on "We Don't Care". The song is a perfect juxtaposition of joy over the details of a difficult life. This album is such a range of emotions.

[@ashez2ashez316]

Awesome episode, knew Dad would love Never Let Me Down, such a great track. And a masterpiece album. 🔥🔥🔥

[@frontroom]

Thanks for watching!

[@youngbarrymore724]

Most definitely my favorite song on College Dropout is When IT All Falls Down Syleena Johnson kills the vocals she's also featured on Jay Z's song Cry unplugged version

[@taneshah.1260]

That's not Syleena Johnson on Song Cry, it's Jaguar Wright.

[@redmon41]

One of my favorite albums of all time. Dad confirming it was a "hot number" put me over the edge! You two are great

[@saneldacic6143]

Dat album is boring af💀 how can it be ur fav oat?🤣 I mean like 3 beats are cool but the rest? He raps with no energy and it rlly doesnt fit. Most overrated album oat imo

That ad read was top notch. Ive heard seasoned and established podcasters that cpuldnt deliver with that confidence and cadence

The thumbnail looked like your dad was wearing a hat cocked to the side. I almost lost it then I looked again. Great video, your dad truly appreciates hip-hop, so beautiful.

[@frontroom]

😭😂 that would have been hilarious Mike. Thanks for tuning in every video!

[@just_p7523]

This was so enjoyable to watch. Reminds me of the first time I heard this legendary album, such a great moment in music history. I used to listen to this going back and forth to college lol. You guys are great!

[@thesynxxsno8189]

Heard this album a bunch of times but its so interesting watching this and learning the background of some of the songs and kanye himself, because i didnt know much about it even though ive heard it a bunch. And watching your dad first time hearing it is also fun! Subscribed!

[@c.chinaski3156]

what i would give to listen to this album again for the first time... big up pops 🙌🏻
