PSYCHOTHERAPIST REACTS to Kanye West- Runaway (ft. Pusha T)

[@jadonjohnson2862]

Gotta give the original song a listen, the video leaves out the best and possibly the most powerful verse

[@jonathanhill5323]

"Never was much of a romantic I could never take the intimacy And I know it did damage 'Cause the look in your eyes is killin' me I guessin' you're at an advantage 'Cause you could blame me for everything And I don't know where I'ma manage If one day you just up and leave"

[@andrezest]

@@ReactionTherapyOfficial you gotta listen to the full 9 minute version.

[@SaintThree]

If I’m not mistaken, that “HEY!“ or “YE!” Is from an old sound bite of his mom, and he uses her motherly way of correction to censor himself. Dudes a genius.

[@stellar1252]

One of the greatest singles of all time in hiphop, the full version is actually 9 minutes long by the way.

[@sebzobeats]

@@FoxMaster There is a hip hop/rap verse (by Pusha T), but the song itself is not a rap song just because a black man is singing the lyrics.

[@FoxMaster]

@@sebzobeats The song is literally Pop Rap, which is a subgenre of HipHop. Kanye has obviously made several songs that are just Pop though.

I like how Kanye uses the most elegant and in sync (stereotypical) dancers but when they start the dance it “robotic” chopped up and doing their own thing when they start dancing, this shows that their is beauty in everything and being the same is not creative and new

Nah you trippin’. Imo, not even close to KANYE’s best album. TLOP, 808s, TCD, LR, GRADUATION, all better albums tbh.

[@bryanguillen9167]

Also, please don’t tell this poor old man to listen to Blame Game with that annoying ass Chris Rock outro 😭

[@garysimcox345]

One of my favorite songs of all time, amplified by the fact that my uncle and I listened to this song often and he recently passed. Thank you for checking this one out ❤️

[@Protomanx36]

His album 808s & Heartbreaks is pretty emotional too. Here's a tasty bite about Kanye talking about his fame: My friend showed me pictures of his kids And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs He said his daughter got a brand new report card And all I got was a brand new sports car Dad cracked a joke all the kids laughed But I couldn't hear 'em all the way in first class Chased the good life my whole life long Look back on my life and my life gone Where did I go wrong?

[@ishaandubey145]

What song is this

[@jizzmonkeyreunion]

He's very intuitive and self critical. It's sad because I assume it also fuels some of his mental illness. The fact that he goes so deep and is so insightful spotlights why he has so much appeal. He's living the human condition with us and he'll talk about it. I don't necessarily agree with his full read, but he's pretty on point about many aspects of our culture and our minds. He's so dang gifted. I hope he can heal.

[@gavin0115]

​@@ishaandubey145that's welcome to heartbreak

[@nxg4920]

Kanye is a pessimist and perfectionist: he focuses on the negative as opposed to the positive, never feeling something is good enough - including this girl. Recognizing he’s not perfect (his arrogance has always been present), Kanye’s aware that his obnoxiousness was never viewed as “menacing” until he snatched the microphone from America’s Sweetheart, Taylor Swift. While “Runaway” is a public apology for Kanye’s personality, the song further implies that he can’t change the way he is - the world will have to learn to live with Kanye, or run away. This more backhanded toast is in contrast to a celebratory toast on “Last Call,” earlier in Ye’s career. ~Steven Frölke from Genius. Shout out to him.

[@jizzmonkeyreunion]

Thank you for sharing this. I've been looking for something like that because I feel like this has dawned on me recently about this song and period of his career. Kanye apologizing for Kanye. It's intense. It's sad too because perfectionism isn't good and likely tied to other emotional challenges. And change is hard, and underlying mental illness makes it more difficult. It's not impossible, but we all need the right help and support.

[@ethanjensen5887]

Pusha Ts verse is supposed to represent Kanye’s dark side, and the worldly things that he continues to lust after, opposed to his better side that values relationships. The verse after pushas really gives more context

[@younglord2140]

It’s also represents Kanye’s self awareness of the power he has over this girl (aka the girl representing his fame). It’s a love hate relationship but he understands the power dynamic he has over this girl because she wants to continue living the high cost lifestyle Kanye brings and has to suck it up or go back to wearing knock offs. It’s also Kanye telling his fans and the world that he understands he’ll piss them off but they keep coming back for the art

[@obama_gaming69]

I never knew that there was a pusha t verse tf

[@gettinmymoneyup9816]

Kanyes art is honestly the most authentic form of him, if you want to understand Kanye west all the bogus he says online isn't the place to start, its his art.

[@mizydon]

I fall in love from the start that piano key give me chills

[@amanr6346]

[@alexbaker3351]

Please react to the full version, it contains one of kanyes more introspective verses and will help clear up the confusion with pusha Ts verse

[@JoeMama-ly1kc]

Kanye is on the Mount Rushmore of rap. We definitely need some more reactions to his music 💯

[@GhostBoytv]

The third verse and the outro add a lot to this song

[@Furn3ss]

Listen to more Kanye please. Genuinely imo the greatest of all time. He wears his heart on his sleeve

[@iazteca1762]

If you loved this version so much you'd love the full version even more, this one leaves out so many of the best parts

[@sethkang4410]

ll the lyrics serve as double entendres about his problems with intimacy in relationships (Amber Rose at the time) but also for how he portrays himself to the media. This is directly after the Taylor Swift incident where he was widely hated. Listen to the lyrics “I always find something wrong” “I’m so gifted at finding what I don’t like the most” represent how he’s addicted to the spotlight, so he’ll always do what he can to stay in the spotlight. This song is pretty much an admittance that he knows what he’s doing is a sickness, but he doesn’t know what he’d do without his fame and attention (“I don’t know how’d I manage, if one day you just up and leave”) The end of the song with his muffled voice is a stylistic and artistic decision representing how he feels when he actually talks to the media. His thoughts and ideas are clear in his head but he can never articulate it right. He gets portrayed as the villain because it’s easy, but if you take time to process what he’s saying you’ll understand where he’s coming from. The song holds such a special place with Kanye fans because it’s indicative of his whole career. We see this cycle every few years with him. The Taylor incident, “you ain’t got the answers sway”, the drake beef, the maga hat, “George bush doesn’t care about black people”, and more. It’s easy to label him as crazy, but the reason why this song is so brilliant is because it encompasses an entire career of controversy. It doesn’t justify it, but rather apologizes for it and tries to explore why he does it in this therapeutic way.

[@dariuslewis8148]

But he literally explains everything in the following verse Never was much of a romantic I could never take the intimacy And i know it did damage Bc the look in your eye is killing me....

[@comicaiadventures]

his Donda album has almost 0 curse words, and is slightly gospel!

[@chessmatemusic]

The concept is that Kanye is some kind of monster which is engulfed by the fame and materialism and Pusha T represents that side of Kanye whilst throughout the song Kanye tells the woman in his life to run away from that exact monster depicted by Pusha T and throughout the album. Some people have pointed to the fact that in the context of the album the woman might at times be a metaphor for fame. You should truly check out the full 9min song, it is my favourite song of all time and the ending is very metaphorical and beautiful symbolising how little his words mean and how little control he has over his perception and the woman following his orders in the song, and putting the raw emotion of tone and melody at the forefront of the song.

[@SM-pk4jv]

It's very common for kanyes music to point out all the flaws in something and then in the very same song say "im not any better" he's good at viewing flaws etc. but struggles to escape them

For me this is an internal struggle song, even when he’s admitting his faults there’s always that side of him that tries to convince him he’s in the right (Pusha T verse)

[@vegetashairline2165]

Runaway love by Ludacris & Mary J Blige amazing song

[@makmusikchi]

@ReactionTherapy You should watch the short film “Runaway”. It accompanies the album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”. Also, I couldn’t tell from the video if you caught the next verse. But he nails it with “Never was much of a romantic I could never take the intimacy And I know it did damage Cas the look in your eyes is killin me I guess you at an advantage Cas u can blame me for everything N I don’t know how I’ma manage If one day you just up and leave”

[@knicholsch]

Best Kanye Song. I love the music and the lyrics. Maybe because I went through a relationship this related to many moons ago.

[@silvangruber6511]

I think the song is talking about kanye being the asshole in a relationship with a girl who deserves to get treated better. He realizes that he's an asshole but doesn't apologize at all BECAUSE he is one. Then in a moment of clearence he accepts that he's not good for her and tells her to run away because he's never going to change which is emphazised by him not being sorry

I use to like Kanye when he first came out and was making beats. Then he kind of fell off for me. Then Donda! I absolutely love the performance art aspect of it and not a single cuss word and full of features! The Netflix doc says a lot about him too. You can definitely gain a new respect from that perspective. You can tell he and his mom had a special relationship and it really shows in what he created in honor of her. As always 💐

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

[@hardygunsalus9897]

Say what you want about Kanye, love him or hate him as a person or as an artist, but this is unequivocally and objectively a masterpiece as a song and music video.

[@franciscofonseca6328]

For me its easy to get. Kanye is struggling hard between its down to earth real take on live, and how is alter ego who doesnt care about anyone or anything. Classic fight between good and evil, but on his mind. If you have a broken twisted mind its easy to get this.
