Yepp that post is the reason im here again
@@elmer8170 where was the post?? I'm curious
@@nnnnnn496 its some hiphop ig page or sumn
@@elmer8170 is aight. I just realized it's in the video itself. Lol
Every single one of them are legends, but you know, you have someone from a completely different genre of music like Elton John hop on this, that appreciates the art being created. I'm still floored Paul McCartney and Kanye made a song. Some art transcends genres, and I've shown many classic rock people who have started listening to hip-hop because I showed them this album. It's incredible what was accomplished with not only this song, but the whole album. I played in a jazz band in high school, as a sax player, with a drummer who played gospel all the time. The amount of respect and talent we added to each other's craft was absolutely incredible. I brought more of a prog rock sound to my playing, and he just brought full gospel drums, the mixture of the two was unlike anything I've ever worked with before. The conductor would just let us go for 16 bars every song we played at the events we did, with nothing but applause. Seeing two different genres of music mix reminds me of those times, it is still as awesome as the first time I heard it about a decade ago.
The ending was meant to finish off any living epileptics that survived the video
There is no other explanation

Anyone here after finding out this song was made in 5 minutes? Kanye is an absolute genius
Bruh!!!
He took years for this 😂
@@XtenstialKrysishe actually only took a few minutes to get the voices of the features as a quick last song on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The beat and everything was made quickly so they just made lyrics and got the other artists.
Lol I just found this out less then 5mins ago I remember this song from 2k14 so I had to look it up after seeing that😂
@@downtof-ck ohhh
What light effects do you want? Kanye: all of the lights
It's funny because that's literally something that Kanye would say. With conviction too
This needs more likes lmao
Reading that and I can just hear him saying that now 😂😂 With his overly exaggerated moves 💯😂
haha bruh best commend xD why so few likes?
@@kylavillanueva8839 So it needs... all of the likes? I'll let myself out.
Damn he’s such a futurist, the man said “can’t see my daughter, her mother, brother, grand mother hate me in that order”. Kanye the goat!
Feels weird
He'll get through this, I know.
💀
sheeesh
He was talking about Kim on songs before they met🤣 Kanye is amazing..met at Borders🤔 he must like books.
It's been close to 13 years since this masterpiece came out Holds me in tears
Same. Tears every time
tmmrw now bro
Ugh same here with chills added! Each time!!!
As an 18 year old that grew up with a lot of access to music and media, this song will always have a special place in my heart.

Fun fact there are fourteen artists on background vocals in this song including john legend and Elton john. That's boss producing right there
Fergie, rihanna
@@hurtspublishing3906 and alicia keys
I might be wrong, but I think Elton John only plays the piano interlude and doesn't sing
raven c after Alicia keys sings the “woahhh”, Elton is the one saying “all I can say is oh” that’s him lol
Drakes on it too didn’t notice till this year
One of, if not, the greatest multi-artist collabs OF ALL TIME.
Fr
That one song about lebron wit drake n em was fire
We Are The World is also good

Kanye wakes up from his Kanye Rest. He gets Kanye Dressed to look his Kanye Best. He brushes his teeth with Kanye Crest, and bumps into his neighbor the Kanye Pest. Kanye goes to his church to get Kanye Blessed. The End.

Damn that's what I thought real talk it about co parenting effectively he's a black man and his sons need the right influence too become men and daughters need there Dad public opinion are just narrative that society has placed on a really situation that should be private
Agreed Bro 💯
Literally had the same thought process

I don't cry now, 😢 but there was a season when my baby brother was a 16 year old daddy. And all he wanted was to have his daughter and without judgement she was a call girl. He never judged his baby mom. He loved life. Crazy happy he NOW has custody of his baby. He did the RIGHT thing. Goes to show life can happen always if you have GOD, LIFE AND GREATNESS in your true heart mind and soul
Its April 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song

Looking back, this song was so big, if you ever been to a high school football game or a sporting event with some kind of marching band this song is always played.
AND IT FEELS SO DAMN GOOD WHEN YOU HEAR IT GIVES ME A "ITS GONNA BE A GOOD FUN NIGHT TONIGHT" TYPE FEELING I FEEL LIKE LIKE IM GOING TO THE GRAMMYS WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG MAKE ME FEEL REAL IMPORTANT LOL.. SIDENOTE : MY BASKETBALL TEAM CAME OUT TO THIS IN HIGHSCHOOL WHEN MBDTF DROPPED OF COURSE I PROVIDED THE TRACKLIST MOST WAS KANYE SONGS INCLUDING H*A*M..
Jordan Walls okok we get it. no need to shout
My university's marching band still plays this no cap
Eric Saavedra gotta be one of the best mainstream tracks of the 2010s. So catchy but there’s also more to it than just the surface lyrics
It comes on at the molinuex light show 🐺🟠⚫️
I think Kid Cudi took it too literally when they said he was the backing singer.
omg why you gotta do my man like that
Golden,😂😂
Facts💀
He absolutely killed it for being so short. When it came out I thought he was about to have a verse
Kanye really almost permanently destroyed his entire reputation with the Taylor incident, dropped one of the best albums of the 2010s and everyone instantly forgave him
the goat
Man this is still one the best masterpiece of Ye! best Years as well! Bring Back memories ❤️🔥
I’m not a Rihanna ‘stan’… but oh Lord. I miss her music. Her voice just reminds me of my Childhood and I’m in Uni now.
My last year in uni i know the feeling grew up with her songs
This song reminds me of uni 🥲
She's literally still around
@@TheNotthediver did I deny that? She just hasn’t dropped an album/single in over 5 yrs. plus she isn’t dropping anytime soon.
@@mjordan1117 her workrate before the hiatus was so ridiculous, an album a year for what, 8 on the trot? She'll be back. Be patient.

Oh yea
Definitely that's why I still suggest it to people
luv the strings!!🎻
how?
Gawdat Braidy yeah it is
I don’t get how this is no one’s favourite song from the album, it is mine.

What is epilepsy?and how did he help you find out ?
Very cool!
@@aliceniyonkuru5229 Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes seizures. If Daniel Luke isn't joking, he's saying that the flashing strobe lights in the video triggered him to have a seizure.

Not only the song but mv is also well made! Love those shiny words flashing. Makes me goosebumps ❤ masterpiece
Kanye has always used “Lights” as a reference to his journey in other songs so this “All of the Lights” is the entire journey; hence the legacy of Kanye West. The message of this song is that Kanye “want(s) you to see everything” whether it be his highlights “fast cars, shooting stars” symbolizing his rise to fame, or the worst, “Vegas” symbolizing Sin City or his Sins. When he talks about “I slapped my girl” and “spent that bread” that’s the moment of his life where everyone canceled him for hitting Taylor Swift. the “daughter” he’s referencing is not a literal person as at this point in time he didn’t have any, but rather his music. When he says her “mother, brother, … hate me in that order” Kanye’s talking about the other related music genres and it’s artists hating on him after that incident. He doesn’t want “her grow up in ghetto university” as in he doesn’t want the way he was raised in the ghetto continue affecting his music and it’s reputation. “We going all the way this time” continues on like how when you get an overdose it starts repeating itself and that’s why it gets quiet for a bit as he gets close to dying from all these burdens on him. He tries to “tell you but all I could say is oh” is him trying to describe this life but he can only represent it through music as of the “ohh” part. At the end of the day, this song shows Kanye’s point in life where he tries to break free from the bad portion of the culture he was raised in.
this deserves more likes
Nice , but he still makes shit music :) sorry , i only like this song and E.T. with Katy Perry, cause it does not sound whack like all the other songs he made.
@@bebediavolo good troll, dude.
@@bebediavolo subjective ;)
bro this is a reach he didnt even grow up in the ghetto he literally grew up middle class. He had a hard time getting a start in music because he didn't have a gangster image.
Can't decide between enjoying the music, laughing at the comments or dying of seizure LOL
