In my opinion, Kanye hitting rock bottom with the VMAs to releasing My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the greatest comebacks in music ever. Edit: Considering recent events, a new rock bottom may have just been achieved so i'll say "rock bottom at the time"

he's back at rock bottom

best edit ive ever seen

@Christian Hart nah even yeezus cuz the thing with it was that industrial hip hop had been a thing by that point. yeezus wasnt the influence, it was part of the influenced

@z #37549 yeah he doesn’t really know what he’s talking about 😂 Graduation was more revolutionary for the transition from bling music to electronic rap after his battle with 50 cent. Lmfao and Late Registration was def not jazz, but he might have a point with Yeezus tho

I wish this was ye's rock bottom

Kanye is GOAT

I totally agree with you!

Gigakubica

No argument 💯💯💯

no he is COW

@Banana didnt know michael jordan made music

I wish I could hear DARK FANTASY for the first time again. "Can we get much higher?? So high....OH OH OH." Best album intro ever!! And this album is one of the BEST albums ever made. When I heard it the first time, I was completely blown away!!

THE album is ONE of the best PIECEs and i cant believe it IS REAL

heard it on acid after losing my 22 yo girlfriend, best days

@PangoLinh So is SKY ISLAND. IT EXISTS!

that song has been ruined for me

THE ONE PIECE

Kanye has had such a rollercoaster of a life, he’s had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, i’m very surprised he’s even here today. I wish him the very best right now, as he’s in one of the darkest places he’s ever been

stay in 2021, do not come to 2023

@Parade Ice how do you feel about it now lmao

@algamboa1987 HE DID IT AGAIN BRUH

Man, Rob, we thought he’d hit lows before. Hope he can make it out of the space he’s in and into a more stable, healthier place.

@Joao Monteagudo Canevari 3:49 Frank Duke - Art Church was also sampled for Curren$y ft. Young Dolph - All Work

mbdtf was one of my least favorite projects by him when i started listening to his stuff 2 years ago. now it is fs my most favorite album of all time. one of the only albums of my liking that has multiple 10/10 songs, let alone one 10/10 song. each song stands alone so well and then when you put them together, each song transitions into the next without a single one standing out of place. ye is 🐐

Weird enough, Taylor Swift accidentally created the best rap album of all time.

@Sunita Dutt they're both great albums. I just think Kendrick generally gives more attention to the instrumental and musical side of his songs than Kanye does imo- it's alright to disagree though

@Bhawneshwar Dutt aight first I’m not white, second how can I be tasteless when I’ve listened to both artists entire discography, third there is more to tpab then just the message and I enjoy pretty much everything about it, with mbdtf it would’ve been perfect if blame game was just a better song and therefore would’ve been closer between the two, fourth I really couldn’t care less about replay value, yes I barely listen to tpab especially in full but when I do I’m basically listening to the greatest album I’ve ever heard and I’m fully invested.

@Bhawneshwar Dutt most acclaimed albums of the 2010s

@Ok lol no ur tasteless stop listening to rap

@Cali tpab is trash

I can tell you Kanye is The MJ of Hip Hop. He inspired generations of rappers and made different vibe on each albums. Am happy that i took my time to listen his albums. Now am fan of him

@Poerava it’s not exactly some hard challenge dude… I’ve listened to loads of artists from 90s, 2000s and 2010s. It doesn’t take a genius to have knowledge on a music genre. I’ve been listening to music since I was a kid. Hip Hop is my least listened to genre but I still have a ton of knowledge on it. As does Nas, who said Kanye saved rap😎

@Uncle Willie’s Son whatever helps you gramps, It was fun debunking you, Kanye the GOAT.

@Mr Mxyzptlk Lmao Oooooook. Enjoy this L this weekend. Please read more ✌🏾

@Mr Mxyzptlk You’re almost 20, speaking on your vast knowledge of hip hop?

@Uncle Willie’s Son bro… Jeff didn’t do jack shit lol. You’re running circles in your own pea brain at this point. Kanye is the one behind all of the production and how it goes. Not Jeff. You’re actually brain dead 💀

Damn everything aside, that Kanye Lady GaGa tour would’ve been LEGENDARY.

nah

I'm sayin'

Lady Gaga makes trans music

2 artistic visionaries sharing the stage, that would've been dope

I like some of the Gaga songs but WTF DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT CAMERAS ⁉️

Enjoyed and learnt a lot from this. Thank you

Kanye was so much in the zone that he made Rick Ross rewrite his verse on Devil in a new Dress, which to me is Rozay’s greatest verse ever. MBDTF is a masterpiece, a movie that deserves an Oscar. Kanye is simply amazing

Not a fan of Rick for the most part but i had to give him props for his verse on that track 💯

Funny thing is that Kanye was right about the Beyonce video - it's classic now. Does anyone remember Taylor Swift video? I don't.

Damn great point!

Neither of them are tbh

@Chris not sure bout that now jeez bro

Sorry but her vid has more views and likes💀

@rogerio maria no lol

8:20 honestly blew my mind "Everyone says 'great art comes from pain', but I think my greatest art comes from excitement and joy. It's a completely different perspective, about being extremely excited about stuff that is only cool to me" This gives me completely new motivation to work on projects I've pushed to the side

i’ve been listening to the beat playing in the background forever now. mike stud sampled it on “mirrors on the celling” but still haven’t found ut

If this isn’t an official documentary I’m blown away.. the advanced level of editing.. the crisp cinematography.. the smooth talking voice over.. the cohesiveness of how it all flows together.. this feels like it should easily have a million dollar budget. And like somebody else mentioned this most definitely belongs on Netflix.. and I couldn’t subscribe any faster

Woah Netflix would never make something this good.

10 years ago today this masterpiece dropped...sounds timeless

yo can anybody PLEASE tell me what songs are playin in the background at the beggining????? 1:51 and 3:49, OMG THEY'RE SO SMOOTH

Fax

The budget on this album is through the god damn roof. No wonder why album sounded so luxurious.

@Joao Monteagudo Canevari frr

@Kvng Amo THE GAME - THE JUICE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt8YEuWTC04

3:49 IS A SAMPLE BY "FRANK DUKES" USED BY MANY ARTIST MOST NOTABLY "THE GAME - JUICE" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt8YEuWTC04

@Joao Monteagudo Canevari I heard the second 1 somewhere before. Matter fact I think it’s a curren$y instrumental !

@Joao Monteagudo Canevari fr

Always wanted to learn more about this album! It's one of my all time favorites. Thank you!!

You know the song at 8:50

Check out the podcast "Dissect" for a in depth look

This album was art

You don't realize what beautiful poetry "Power" is until you hear Kanye recite it aloud outside of the finished track. 7:46

Its a completely different listen

this is helping me relive 2010

“No one man should have all that power” -Kanye West

@Joao Monteagudo Canevari its been a year but did you ever find the song? that one and the one that plays from the start?

That was inspired from a quote in the movie Malcolm X.

Ironic because he does.

yo can anybody PLEASE tell me what songs are playin in the background at the beggining????? 1:51 and 3:49, OMG THEY'RE SO SMOOTH

@caleb dafuk

I love how after the VMA incident, Kanye deadass made one of the greatest albums of all time and got over it, and Taylor still talks about it 10 years later 😂

True lmfaooo Taylor is trash

Of course she does. It was a huge asshole move. She was like 19, getting a huge award, and getting her moment hijacked like that? Awful. MBDTF is my second favorite album of all time, but that was a dick move by Kanye

disclaimer l like both the artists so slay

she only made that album as a response to kim and kanye but k

@chris zanotti Wrote more??? Yeh stop

One of the best albums of the 00’s. One of the greatest redemption stories ever. Kanye sticking up the middle finger to his doubters while simultaneously feeling guilt about his actions. MBDTF was the most interesting and greatest period of time for Kanye in my opinion.

@Famou_sowl arguable for sure

@YeahDonaldGaming tpab

@scifinerd17 i said 2000’s because I was saying in that span of 20 years nothing else compared to that album

It came out in 2010, so it’d be the put in the 2010 decade, not the 2000’s

Gorgeous is definitely one of the best songs from Kanye. Cudi sang like an absolute angel and Kanye's mind in that song was marvelous.

@Warning: BFG-10,000 is Hiring buddy there’s plenty of better technical rappers than Kanye. But no one sounds better than Kanye. Kanye has a better flow, voice and punch lines. It’s why he murdered the song better. And why everyone knows who he is and no one knows who Rae is. Because he’s forgettable.

@Mr Mxyzptlk Rae is a much better rapper than Kanye. Still, Kanye is good.

@Warning: BFG-10,000 is Hiringbecause Kanye overshadowed him entirely. Kanye murdered it harder than anyone could. Raekwon is good but he’s not Kanye.

@Warning: BFG-10,000 is Hiring Nah I know his verse was nice too tho it's just Ye shined on this song

@Pat Conti still at least acknowledge him.

One of, if not the best album I’ve ever heard. Timeless

My favourite 3 albums are all Kanye

My favourite rap album of all time. Also a terrific example of how to engineer an album to perfection. It sounds so good. This album made Nicki Minaj a superstar.

Nicki has the potential to become the female Ye. It’s so sad how the industry pushed her out of that path after PFRR and she had to return to conventional pop and rap.

Imagine giving this album a 6/10

He’s a kanye hater

@Hallburger i grew a brained and listened to it, 2nd fav kanye album.

@Fat Nuts Lover. ok that was funny af but still a shit opinion

@Fat Nuts Lover. i see you alot and your alway giving the worst takes

@Fat Nuts Lover. JIK doesnt hit as hard as yeezus did

Just listened to the entire album after watching the film. Finishing up the MBDTF trilogy with this docu. Will be back to do this next year. Stay frosty family

yo can anybody PLEASE tell me what songs are playin in the background at the beggining????? 1:51 and 3:49, OMG THEY'RE SO SMOOTH

Doing the exact thing as well. The short film was the most beautiful thing I saw at age 14 now I’m gonna watch it again at 24. It inspired me to create film

One of the best albums ever made. Kanye was and still is ahead of his time

Favorite album of all time. Shits just perfect from: Concept, rollout, features, length, lyrics, production. Love this album so much.

@Stellar Tf are you talking about?

And the melody choices. Like how'd you even come up with lost itw?

This album is the greatest comeback of any artist I can think of, and the best record of the century.

People clown on Kanye but when he passes away in the future he will be revered as one of the greatest voices of this era and MBDTF is proof of such.

I think he‘s the Greatest voices ever. I know ppl will disagree but imo he change the whole vibe with his projects, productions & presents. The Jeen-Yuhs documentary is a diary for all want to fulfill their dreams. He‘s The 🐐

@hollyw00d P Lil B?

One of the greatest ARTISTS, he’s miles ahead of everyone creatively

@Ugo Nwigwe his mom passing and him being bipolar doesn’t excuse his behavior lol. At the end of day he’s an egotistical asshole but hey, it made him a billionaire so who am I to speak 🤷‍♀️

He’s still alive and he’ll go down as one one of the greatest most influential artists out there

This album was the masterpiece to me when it came out. Graduation over the years stole the top spot. This man has so many classics and amazing risks taken.

@MJJ did we listen to the same 2018 albums?

His fallen off after Pablo though

The problem with kanye is he says what's on everyone's mind

Not always true. Nobody thinks slavery was a choice or that George Floyd didn't die from asphyxiation from having a knee on his neck. This was just ignorance coming from his mouth. I will never understand what happened to him. I used to be a huge fan of this man. But I don't know what to say about him now. Still jam the old music though for motivation. Especially MBDTF!!

Not true. I acknowledge his brilliance and creativity. I'm a huge fan of his music. But nobody is thinking "Slavery was a choice." Just saying. I love Kanye's art. As a person, not so much.

True.

Larry David

true sometimes

10 years and still feel like this hasn’t age at all. Love him or hate him (now more than ever), it’s impossible to deny how much of a cultural reset this album give to the musical landscape of the 10s. The influence of this album still goes on and it’s truly one of the best albums of all time.

This album is very personal and emotional. One significant purpose of art, expression of self. It’s much more sincere and experimental than most of albums in the hiphop industry these days. You listen to this album, you’re actually listening to Kanye telling you his struggles and his side. That’s why this album is great. It speaks, talks, tells, as Kanye West.

The more I watch this video the more genius i realize it is. The way it starts with showing the vma incident from everyone else's perspective and then ending with kanye's take on it creates an arch in the story you are telling.

Dark Fantasy was Beautiful and Twisted. When I first bought it, saw it, and listened to it I knew there was something big happening and it helped me thru some of the most difficult times of my life. I’ve listened to all his records as they were coming out at release but this one had the passion of first love. The soul of the most high. Words can’t describe it

Taylor Swift comes from her daddy's oil money with no financial limit. All she has to do is smile. Someone that comes from nothing but struggle will always be the stronger artist to me

@sis just dont srsly ugh you feminazis just love to play the victim card. 😅 taylor is just trash

Why u gotta hate

I am the BIGGEST KANYE FAN, but, I respect Taylor and her music. She is worthy of the attention she gets.

@under a rock did we ask

Fuck u mean west came from "nothing but struggle", bitch he was a middle class citizen. I'm assuming u think every black rapper grew up in the hood?

This mans' greatness makes my skin shiver. When this genius dies only then will some people remember how inspirational he was.

For over 35 years I’ve watched hip hop fans retire rappers through disinterest. Kanye will walk away on his own leaving a huge void not only in hip hop, but music in its entirety. The genius claims are real.

Best comment i've seen

You forgot fashion and the streetwear culture

You know this is facts when there are no replies

Best album EVER made! Still to this day! There will never be another album made as well as my beautiful dark twisted fantasy..

What he did was messed up... but Beyoncé really did have one of the greatest music of all time... of all time.

This video is amazing. Kanye is top tier. People will always hate but this man is a legend and has multiple classic albums.

10 years later and it’s still one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to

Amazing album. All of Kanye’s songs are masterpieces.

This album got me through such a fucked up dark time in my life. One of the best albums of all time

He was absolutely ✅️. Swift had no business winning. He's been speaking out what's right.

I am truly in awe of how u defined everything that makes Kanye a genius with such precision and detail and the amount of work and detail these videos mustve taken. These videos are truly masterpieces.

Holyfuck. I second whoever said this belongs on Netflix. I wonder how many hours of work this required. This gave me chills. Definitely my fave Kanye record. Good job, mate!!!

@Johnny Kiehn underrated opinion jesus is king wasnt his best work but it's overhated

Did Coodie stop recording?

It’s a show on Netflix now 😁

what yall talking about "worst" and "only as good" YE DONT MISS

@Johnny Kiehn that’s his worst project

I love youtube, people like this guy have the freedom to make such well-produced, high-quality content like this that would've definitely been worthy of being on T.V. Thank you 'The Most Unruly' this was a phenomenal documentary.

Beautiful dark twisted fantasy was one of the most unique pieces of music I’ve ever heard. It definitely changed my life, and definitely inspired me in more ways than I can explain or than I can even know

My fav Kanye album of all time and in my top 3 fav albums of all time. I've defended 'Ye for 14 yrs now and I'll KEEP defending him as one of the best minds in ALL of music of this generation!

Most memorable album of that decade, Nothing else come to my mind when I look back to my 20's

This belongs on Netflix

Damn this aged well

jeen-yuhs

Facts!!! Especially now

it just did ma boi it just did

this aged well

In my opinion Blame Game is his best song Vulnerable, honest, dark, masterpiece production, perfect piano play, John Legend on the Hook, the fucked up lyrics. Kanye is my favorite artist. Blame Game became my favorite song thru hook or crook. Wasn’t even looking for it to be my favorite song but somehow it did. Perhaps because I’ve had my heart broken. Perhaps because I can’t find a single flaw on the song. I’d like to think I’m a closet artist that can give credit where it is due. Kanye is a musical Genius! Long Live MBDTF

Blame Game is also up there for me as one of his best songs, revealing such a sensitive yet such a dark mental state that men go through during a break up. Men aren't the Ultimate victims but we over think when it comes to any person we find interest in. That can some times be our biggest downfall as men to the point where we mess things up ourselves. John Legend on the hook being the polar opposite to Kanye's aggressive verses to me makes the song even better because it's like the hook are his thoughts and he's not doing that clearly. Which leads to him just being "angry" during the verses.

This album is the true definition of a masterpiece. The track listing, cover art, the feeling of it sonically, just a flawless victory all around.

First of all: This video is amazing. Secondly. This album is, for me, the greatest of all time. A masterpiece.

Dark Fantasy is the most inspirational Hip Hop album. Anytime I'm in an emotional rut I put it on and listen front to back. It pulls me out of the rut and I'm back

I can see the hurt in Kanye’s eyes when jay Leno asked about his mom.... honestly pissed me off

That’s why I don’t even like Jay Leno. That was kinda dirty!

I think the question kinda changed him and he made a self reflection, I think he needed a startup with that type of question.

@kaydee did idk man, this was like 2 years ago

@TommFoolery and? ❓

@Blue Plumbob his mom was dead

What an intelligent young man. I wonder what he’s up to now

Ups, downs, and everything in between, Kanye is truly special and forever a legend

I’m not a Kanye hype boy, but I believe this album is proof that he is one of the only remaining TRUE artists of this century

Re-watching this made me realised that just how brilliantly this is edited. It just flows man. Great work! 👍

It was amazing to see this unfold. I was 12 when all this happened, and god damn was this a journey. I had no clue the impact it would have on me but to this day I talk about MTDF, and the Runaway movie, and Kanye. God bless this man!

This documentary was amazing dude! Thank you for such a high quality, very informative video! I learned a lot from it and will definitely check your other videos about other albums! Subscribed!

Hey man, not sure if you’ll ever read this but i wanna say thanks for making this. It’s my favourite video to watch, it’s gives me a sense of comfort. I look forward to your new creations. Nothing but love, P.S. Blame Game by Kanye is my favourite song ever

This is the perfect video. Amazing editing, very informative and entertaining. I've gathered a huge respect for Kanye now. 6/10

Imagine re-reviewing this album and giving it a 6/10 again

Love this album

@Jose Luis Garcia Illmatic says what's up

The review has good points though…

l get you😉

Well maybe he’ll understand the album after what happened

Loved every second of this. Kanye fan for life.

This video is almost as good as the album it describes. Thank you.

One of the best albums that I purchased and actually listened to each song trying to understand what the artist was trying to convey. I still revisit it a decade later. Hearing Blame Game and the Wins low lyric for the first time still sticks with me. Fav song Power. Thank you Ye, I needed that album at the time

Greatest rap album of all time when you take everything into account.

It's one of the best from the 2010s for sure but not the best hip hop album of all time. If it ended on Runaway then it would be more of a discussion but it doesn't, both Hell of a Life and Blame Game are not on par with the rest in my opinion.

aye homie i'mma be real.. don't ever..EVER bring up someone else mom. especially if they gone because that haunts someone longer than some mistake they did.

This comment made me cry, got me thinking of my own mom who passed last year and the shit I got up to in my life.

yo can anybody PLEASE tell me what songs are playin in the background at the beggining????? 1:51 and 3:49, OMG THEY'RE SO SMOOTH

bro this fucking comment. bothers me that some fucking late night host gets to ask a man who’s obviously devastated a patronizing question about his mom.

Ong

Don’t support someone who got caught with cp either

I know this is just a “YouTube video” but this is a great documentary! Great job! I love the edits and it’s well put together!

Great video. Thanks for making it. I enjoyed the sampled parts where you played the original. I love learning about those.

no words for how good your content is, your work deserves more attention, do u have a playlist for the music played in the background?

Dude I love this! Great production, such a natural feeling documentary. Instant subscribe, you make excellent videos.

Man.. What a great piece of art, like all the way around. Conceptually thru the finality

Thats crazy bro, this one of the best albums to ever come out imo, Love him or hate him, Ye's going down as one of the greatest to ever do it, His catalog proves it, His creative process is crazy for each album, he's just shown time and time again regardless of everything everyone said about him. l respect it.

This video is incredibly well done and a wonderful way to honor such a meticulous album.

you did an awesome job putting this together, well done!

Sonically, lyrically, structurally, and overall, *_My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy_* is the greatest record of our time.

Jerry Courtney you might be right

OF OUR TIME???!!! Dude you need to get some new friends

S H I N also an excellent record.

boi thunda Kendrick Lamars To Pimp A Butterfly

One of them of course 🎯

The audio quality on this album is outstanding as Kanye uses voice overs, instrumentals and vocals from other artists mixed with his rapping to enhance the creativity of the album. The progression of the album begins with Kanye rapping alone which illustrates past events and shows off his incredible lyricism. As you move down the song list you begin to hear more upbeat songs such as ‘’Power’’ and ‘’All of the Lights’’ that include louder beats and fast paced singing and rapping. Throughout the middle and end of the album Kanye brings out many features that take these songs in many different directions with various messages and styles. Kanye touches on many subjects in this tracklist. There is a big emphasis on his mental health and where he is as a person during this time period. It also goes into bigger scale ideas like race and America’s status. The album's variety in terms of song types ranges from vocals with slower melodies to crazy beats and sound transitions. These songs are filled with various messages like the power he has obtained through his rise to fame or how America has changed as a whole. The target audience of this album consists of the African American community and young citizens throughout America. The messages and wording used in these songs enables the audience to resonate with the music.

MAN what a nostalgia trip, I loved every second of this.

Bro that edit when he plays the runaway keys with the zooms gives me chills and brings a tear to my eyes you go too hard man

One of the most well put together videos on YouTube. Thank you

I'm just happy this album dropped in my generation. I hope Kanye won't stop making music.

When we all have kids or grandkids, Kanye will be one of their "I was born in the wrong generation" artists like Queen, Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd are today.

He says Yandhi will be his return to form. Let's see.

CD Kickz until he dies

he won’t

Lo que todo fan de kanye y amante de la música debería ver, increíble !!

That Jay Leno interview put so much of Kanye's output over the past decade into context, especially being in the Donda era like we are now. So intriguing to see it all come full circle now.

This was so incredibly well done and informative. Well done!

Watching made me appreciate the greatest hip hop album of all-time even more

idk bout y'all but that rick ross verse on devil in a new dress is always FLAMES

Kanye push him to the limit where Ross still did not visit yet until now.

NIGGA SHOES LAVENDER

🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽 FOREVER rick ross’ best verse bro!! he even outshined Kanye in the song haha!! insane production too

Andrew Wills best feature ever

Kanye always brings the best in other people

This documentary is AMAZING. Great job, can't wait to see your other work! ❤️

It feels like a big movie, with Kanye going through one of the most strongest redemptions ever and recruiting all of these legend rappers

Best album ever so ahead of its time! Embarrassing our generation couldn’t see the greatness

It’s crazy watching this on the 10 year anniversary of MBDTF. Ye’s one of the GOATS no matter what.

this whole album and 36-minute documentary might as well come together, because of this video and a lot of other dope videos i’ve seen you make, i’m subscribing. keep up the dope videos and i’ll keep on watching.

joshua woods thank you 🙏🏾

legendary video about one of the most groundbreaking, iconic and best pieces of art ever, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is truly the definition of a classic masterpiece 🔥 much love 💜

you cant fully appreciate this album until you know the story of its creation

Imagine giving this album 10/10 nah brother this album is in a whole another level. Even words can’t describe this album 💿
