For those of you interested in Sam Hansen's interview about the bear the link is below.

The bear going from a real human in a costume, to a puppet, to finally a cartoon is too perfectly poetic to be real

[@playboikaniiii]

good ass video, that old kanye era was a vibe and the dropout bear symbolizes it perfectly: it represents kanye's youth, positiveness, creativeness and what made him stood out compared to his peers at the game (before kanye became the game)

Self awareness has always been one of my best traits lol

This video so good no way it has only 14 views

[@roccodigirolamo6466]

Good ass job is such a fire album name. I want him to make an album where he goes back to his roots. (That has the bear on the cover)

[@st33zyhendrix]

Bro i was so excited for that album when I first heard about it, and i hope the same… maybe one day

Appreciate it 💯

Ralph Lauren (who’s stuff Kanye was constantly referencing in his verses at the time) was also selling a teddy bear at stores in polo gear. It was pretty popular and even on some of the clothing. I always thought it was a Polo/RL reference

[@st33zyhendrix]

I meant to bring it up in the video as i was editing but the polo bear did play a role in it. Sam Hansen (the guy who drew the bear logo) actually briefly mentions it in the interview clip i put in the video @3:24 . He knew he wanted to use the bear from the photoshoot but was also inspired from polo and wanted the dropout bear to be the logo like the polo bear but to look “sporty” i actually found an image of a shirt that has the bear posing exactly like the Ralph Lauren bear , however idk if that was a fan made shirt or if that came from Ye’s camp.. i wish i had remembered to mention that as i was editing but ur correct lol

[@justcruzin17]

@@st33zyhendrix bet. So we were onto something with that either way. I miss those days the first two albums and visuals always bring me back to them

[@PapasFritas-gj3gv]

Bro the narration and the casual and private way you express and relate all of this is pretty unique I though this had more views and I got surprised, I'm gonna suscribe

[@reziel]

Excellent editing, comedic timing, and insight. Big props you gonna make it far man!

[@NottyGurlStyle]

I love and miss the old Kanye. Those three albums are noting but classics. I thought the bear fit the college theme of the album and it was cute.

[@TheRealBrenee]

The edits/commentary got me ctfu 😂 Great content👏🏾

[@possibleimpossible3865]

Getting your video randomly recommended to me then seeing my cousin in first 7 secs of it is mad funny & random 💀

[@parkerjamieson6960]

this video is so good bro you are fucking hilarious, one thing i'd say as some constructive criticism is to make sure your vocal takes are mixed the same way n spoken with the same inflection n shit that would take your content to the next level >>>>>>>>>

He is endorsing Trump and his nutty policies.

@@Thespeedrapthat doesn’t make trump nor Kanye a white supremacist

[@Thespeedrap]

@@AllBetzOff But WHY are they praising white supremacy for yeah I understand conservative policies but don't push that Nazi bullshit PLEASE.

[@quaker47]

he wore a white lives matter shirt and is a neonazi i think it's not too hard to believe

[@BMan78]

​@Thespeedrap he stopped endorsing Trump I believe, but did say a bunch of stuff about Jewish people that were considered anti-semitic, plus praised Hitler a couple years ago in an interview, and did some other crazy stunts.
