At 7:45 Kanye says that North wanted Nikes as a gift, he immediately follows that with "this is not about me". Kanye's Yeezy brand is under Adidas and Kanye is basically a sworn enemy of Nike after he felt betrayed by the company bc of them not offering him a deal after his Air Yeezy's sold out. When North now asks him for a pair of Nikes, he realizes that his kids and family will take precedent over anything else. If North wants the shoes of the enemy, he will get them for her. Also the mention of the phoenix was spot on! Kanye has used the phoenix metaphor once before in his short film "Runaway" in 2010. Back then, he used it as symbolism for his career after he was blackballed bc of the Taylor swift incident - he rose from the ashes of the controversy and came back with the best album of the 2010's ("best" according to Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, internet users). Here, the footage from the live listening party shows him using the fire to burn away his guilt and trauma (yes, he was actually on fire), and ends the event by finally taking off the mask he's been wearing all of 2021 when he comes face to face with Kim as a new man.

he wore a mask for the entirety of his album roll out and hasn’t talked to the press which is insane for kanye. during his yeezus era he took inspiration and wore masks from mason martin margela (fashion designer) who covered his models in a mask that destroyed the celebrity model obsession at the time in fashion and let the clothes speaks for themselves. margela then slowly backed out of the limelight, not showing up to greet the crowd at the end of his shows and he started to immerse himself in his peers. back in 2013 during yeesus he dawned the mask as a aesthetic choice but now he wears it for its true meaning, anonymity. His album listening party is a retelling of dante’s inferno going from hell, purgatory, and then heaven. kanye is a born again christian, the message of his album is if you put in the work you can always find your path towards god even if you and everybody around you doesn’t think you can. so if every time you listen to the album and look at your screen you will see yourself. the first listen party was bleak and empty with an unfinished album in the background and kanye in a red outfit letting his emotions out even to just his mother name. the representing hell (him before he was a born again christian). then before the 2nd listening party he lives stream him living, working, and sleeping in a small room in a huge stadium. he lets people into his process, his work as christian man. then the listening party starts and all you see is his bed and his essential, the music starts playing and the album evolving growing literally while it’s live. in the middle of the party he calls mike dean fix something on the song heaven and hell. this representing purgatory, even while the album was being made he filed to legally change his name to ye, and ye meaning you the most used word in the bible. going from kanye meaning only on to ye meaning you. the third and final listening party he returns to chicago and rebuilds his child hood home, his heaven. as he is a born again christian he lets people who are not religious stand on his mothers porch representing you can also do it to. he then lights up on fire in his mothers home being reborn, taking off his mask in months, marrying kim moving forward and focusing on his family.

It’s not about yourselves but the ones around you in the end. We have a choice but it’s time to come to life for everyone who hears this ❤️. I hope everyone can hear this from his lyrics.

This whole video was from a live visual performance in Chicago for his album listening party, And some other things I noticed y'all didn't pick up on, that "pen" line was "uncle right back in the pen, auntie shut down again, till she finally come to life". "Pen" is a reference to going back to prison/jail, the whole album was dedicated to his family and deceased mother. Also, yes that was kim and kanye at the end in the mock wedding, and also him in the fire. During the live performance there was a 30 second break between the two shots. In the future I'd recommend pulling up the lyrics for hip hop tracks, usually the lyrics are very dense and quite literal so it makes it easier to follow along. Maybe just read the lyrics before watching/listening. Love what y'all are doing, keep it up

Suggestion: This is the first time Ive seen you guys. I don’t really know which genre of music you guys typically do reviews on, but if y’all start doing reactions to rap videos, your channel will really grow. It has a huge audience and this comment section has offered good suggestions for music videos to look at. Loved the video and hope the best for y’all!!!

“Uncle right back to the pen” means his uncle back in jail again

Awesome reaction! Gained a sub. Also he said "uncle right back in the pen (jail) tell me how aunty been. Describing the situations ppl go through when having problems/challenges. He & Kim are big on prison reform also I think it's intentionally open for interpretation. Great job! Looking forward to more videos.👍

I interpreted going back to the pen as in the penitentiary. Especially where the first song in the album he says “guess who goin to jail tonight.” I like your interpretation about it being writing though. Another take I didn’t consider. Great video!

If you guys liked that, another quite similar, very underrated, 9 minute emotional piece by Kanye is Pinocchio's Story, especially his 2015 hollywood bowl performance of it. He poured his heart and soul just everything into that one.

Very cool. It’s not everyday you get to see new listeners who appreciate Kanye’s music. I’d love it if you guys reacted to pure souls off of his recent donda album

One thing about Kanye... He's a very very passionate person to what he believes in. As you guys said what he did to Taylor Swift... For the average person, if we really thought someone was better, we'd shut up and go about our day. This dude's passion for music and what he believes, wouldn't let him shut up lol. Definitely wasn't right, but that's Kanye... He gonna tell it like it is. As for his music... He's top tier. Musical genius. While he does have his issues, when it comes to music and production, there is none other like him. Literally all his albums are golden! When I first heard Life Of Pablo, I didn't like it at all... No lie, it be on repeat now. It's one of my favorites from him. I went to his yezus concert here in Oakland, some years ago and I was in heaven. My two favorite... Kendrick Lamar and Kanye. They know how to throw a concert! Check out Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Mad City album! Y'all won't be disappointed. It paints a picture while it tells a story!
