YouKnowWhoThisIS xo what's really great about it is why he does it like this. You know what he's trying to say but you don't get the full message. This is how he feels the public sees him, they know what he's trying to say but only take it for the surface level content. Fucking brilliant

The final part is like a vocal solo, he's singing and improvising with a lot of distortion and effects on his voice, i found it a very artistic and moving moment of the album

[@joan3422]

first he talks from his perspective and how he fucks up and the final part is the public perspective as the public often doesn't understand what he is saying and even if they know what he is saying they still cant really hear him

[@bendeforest2704]

Joan finally someone who understands it ins't just for the aesthetic of the song. to add on though, it's from perspective of the public, aside from his fans. he's just repeating what he said in the first part but singing it distorted, so if you're a fan, you know what he's saying, but if you don't you just hear what's on the surface of the music

[@greedyguts247]

Alejandro Arévalo bro. I think the word you meant to use is “analyze”. Analize means something else completely

[@liampjarvis]

The best week of my life was listening to Kanyes entire discography for the very first time hearing him and all I want is to get that time back.

[@Prettycookies3245]

The last part where his words are intelligible is meant to represent how the public hears him- muffled, disoriented, not making any sense. But since he has already let us into his “beautiful, dark and twisted” mind, we know what it is being said beyond the distorted effects. So dope!!

[@TsholofeloLungile-ly3lh]

Been here since 12k and ill be here till the end (keep doing kanye and kendrick. They are the goats in making a hiphop master piece) imo

[@345stewma]

The runaway short film is probably the best music video ever made

[@victorcachu7998]

He’s done it

[@223enjoi]

That part that Simon said was jarring - that sounds like a guitar with a bunch of reverb, is really Kanye’s voice. You can hear it as it is toned down a bit and he starts to almost let you hear what he’s saying. He is the master of utilizing the humans voice within music - it really is genius.

[@modest8930]

I love how you react with descriptive detail and actually explain what you like about the song. You can tell so many other reaction channels are listening but not really hearing. You're doing both, excellent. Subscribed.

If you havent listened to Dissect Podcast season of Kanye I highly recommend its very incredibly deep and eye opening. During the end of the song Kanye was crying in the booth recording that distorted guitary singing. The whole song was a freestyle by Kanye

You guys have really great discussions about the music and the artist. A lot of reactors just watch it and provide little commentary so thanks for this.

[@CatchaDouble]

Guy on the right is a huge Ye Stan looool

[@th3thiiird3y3]

8:15 , the drone outcome produces a hypnotic lullaby transition to the next track on the album. Hell of a Life, a hedonistic fantasy of blunt debauchery that provokes the intimate depths of one's psyche during slumber. This is why MBDTF is Ye's magnum opus. I'm sure many viewers would love reactions to each song from the album.

[@DestructorMe1999]

I've gotta say, when I first saw the title of "metalheads react", I thought it was just going to be you guys ripping into rap music, but wow, after seeing this and your other videos, I love seeing the respect you guys have for it. Hard to find these days.

[@zakyyy10]

PushaT's verse is so good but still 3rd best feature on the album, just shows how good this masterpiece is

[@scootsmcdoots80]

One great thing about this song and time in Kanye's run is that he premiered this song at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. This was one year after he famously interrupted Taylor Swift when she received her award for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV VMAs. That was a big turning point in how a lot of people saw Kanye West as a person. Even Barrack Obama called him a jackass. When he came on stage in 2010 he had a decently positive reaction but a lot of people didn't want to cheer for him. By the end of the song it seemed like he had won over the crowd and they were electric as he closed out the song. Was a truly great performance and an amazing way to introduce the song to the world.

I think you guys should check out "Love Lockdown" for the older Kanye stuff. One of my favorite songs from him. It's relaxed but still hard hitting. There's also "No Church In The Wild" which is also very good

[@escutin44]

This video was my first introduction to Kanye and got me to look into his discography. I've now listened to all his music and many other artists, so thanks cuz Kanye is prob my favorite artist ever his music was just amazing to me

Glad you reacted to this! The humming at the end was meant to mimic an electric guitar solo, that’s why it’s so distorted.

[@ImDhii]

Yees I fucking love this genius song

[@josephwright4222]

Should just listen to the whole album. One of the finest productions on any album ever. The way each song fits perfectly in its own story and how it flows from heavier, louder, abrasive tracks (hell of a life, monster) to the glorious, triumphant tracks (all of the lights, dark fantasy) to the sad, introspective tracks (runaway, lost in the world), it’s just incredible

This song is my #1 of Kanye's personally because around this time in my life I had a lot of stuff happening in my life and I was depressed and lost. This song helped me personally.

[@craig5169]

Didnt even need to watch this to know its a great video, I think Touch the sky is a great kanye one and a good way of introducing Lupe Fiasco.

[@Graveyard-AK47]

The reason why the outro is distorted is because while he sings or talks a lot of people don’t understand what he’s saying and only he can understand himself and because of that people think he’s crazy. When hasn’t a genius been consider crazy

To explain the outro, Throughout the song Kanye talks about being misunderstood. The outro is how the puplic perceives him. Hes repeating the same melody of the verses and chorus. But his words are a blur for the public. And therefore they cant see thru the distortion.
