@blaqceeza It takes a hell of a lot of exposure to the American black community to get 90% + of hip hop references... which you may have. But if a black woman pledges a sorority, it's usually either AKA or Delta. Those are super huge household names in black America, and they fiercely rival one another. Whichever one they choose strongly suggests what kind of black woman they're choosing for be. 💃🏿

Seems like one of those crazy fate things. If Kanye is never in that car accident, he is never in that hospital, and never hears "Through The Wire", or has the time to work it out in his head. Maybe without Kanye is just a producer without the song. Talk about turning a bad thing into a good thing.

Also shoutout to Outkast I didn't know he sampled em in this, their album Aquemini is one of my favorites. Thanks for this dude great great job

What I love about your channel is that I basically came to hip hop from the same place as a musician as you did. I was just a bass player, got bit by the beat making bug, and all of a sudden, my skills as a bass player became exponentially more valuable to what I was working on. I always say, when people would ask what instruments they should learn if they want to make beats, go get yourself a bass! It's so nice to be able to know I won't have to sweat about a bassline ever lol. I digress... You're doing amazing work. People pay tuition for this level of content, and you're making it for the streets for free.99.

Brilliant track, really changed the game in a lot of ways. Sadly can’t look past the fact that he flaunted getting a lawyer to avoid having to pay the other driver’s hospital bills. Kanye was already really well off financially, and the other man, a manager for a janitorial company, was left with a totaled car, two broken legs, a broken pelvis, broken knees, a shattered ankle and was out of work for over a year. Kanye turning lemons into lemonade for himself would be a lot sweeter if he took care of the dude who’s life he destroyed

I always think about people in similar situations to get me through my own personal trials. I researched and came across this video. The way you broke down this song and told the story encouraged me. You had me at "In 2 WEEKS he was rapping". I was like.... let me take some aspirin and keep it moving. If Kayne can rise to the top after that, so can and so will I.

Regardless of what people think. Kanye is one of the most influential artist of our generation. People want to pigeon hole an artists way of thinking. He is expanding the social dialog and people cannot stand that. Pure genius

Pumped The Algorithm sent your channel my way. Sampling is what opened up my musical world when I got into underground hip hop in the early 2,000’s (Jurassic 5, Dilated People’s, Black Star, etc) That moment when you are listening to hip hop and you realize you are steeped in the history of all music - it’s amazing. Love watching you break it down and pull out the samples, great stuff🤙🏼🤙🏼

I discovered this song while exploring 90s music, and immediately got hooked. Its crazy to think about how many songs get so deep in the lyrics without you even realizing.

WOW such a well made video. It's incredible you don't have at least 100k subscribers. A tip: the Ye, Death Grips, Pink Floyd and The Beatles fanbases are HUGE in the internet and I think you can make some videos about some of their most famous songs to boost your channel.

Also, people change. Tbh, I didn’t like the sped up quality in the beginning, either. But after awhile, it grew on me. Who hasn’t had a similar experience with a song or album?

Exactly, she was only insulted until the check cleared because if she got a full writing credit then she likely made even more money than she did on some of her biggest hits back in the day-and she probably sold a few records to younger fans who found her through his music.

I had the roca LP , the college dropout album version I bought in New York and the get well soon mixtape verison and for me , the mixtape was the best version because of the muffled sound and authenticity . This song and “home “ from the mixtape are on a par . I remember when he (Kanye)came on Westwood and threw a whole load of verses to the instrumental of thru the wire . It felt like a freestyle but the lyrics fitted so well it was like he had more to say on the track - I wish I still had the tape . Thank you for making this amazing video 👍👍👍

After like 6 months of watching the video I wanted to see some great hip hop breakdowns and had to come back to this awesome work. Nice to see your growth from back there but still highly underrated and missing of recognition for your great videos my man. Congrats on your live performance success as well!

Low key, you too are quite dope as a studio musician yourself, sir. I am super impressed by these vids you make. You putting your well refined musical acumen on display using your obvious definitive expertise to breakdown how some of our favorite songs were constructed makes me see the art in what you music innovators are out here doin. Like it's easy. It's not. No good music has a low degree of difficulty - it's very complex, layered, well thought out and profound if it comes from musical geniuses such as Ye ❤
