[The Big Lebowski]

We talk about our favorite tracks and albums, so this isn't too original, but what is your favorite moment in a Ye song and/or performance? Like just a little five/ten second part of a song/performance where you just get hit hard emotionally or you just love it.

I have two.

From about 2:35-2:45 in this little song called "I Wonder":

If that shit doesn't give you goosebumps at least the first time you hear it...man, check your soul.

And this...

"As we knelt on the kitchen floor, I said Mama Ima love you till you don't hurt no more, and when you're older YOU AIN'T GOTTA WORK NO MORE!. That. Those last six lines hit me so hard and make me realize how much I love my own mom. And for anyone who says Ye is soulless, watch that clip, watch the emotion on his face. 1:23-1:30.

We major- Can I talk my shit again- the instrumental at that point drives me insane.

Say you will- last verse that leads to the instrumental, and also around 3:48 when a harmonic voice sneaks in, pure bliss yo.

Gone- the transition between Cam's and Cons' verse, the strings are fucking amazing.  (this probably should be my first choice lol)

Bad news- the strings at 2:07

welcome to heartbreak- 2:59 when the synths come in to finish the song, i know a lot of people prefer the original, but i love the album version, because bringing the synths at the end is a much better climax for the song!

Hey mama- 2nd verse when the chimes come in after he said "...when i did the opposite".

 

[God]

I Wonder- The whole song, is pure genius.
Late- Sample is Godly

Champion- GOD DAYUM!

Flashing Lights-  HOLY SHIT!

Diamonds-

All his songs :iunno:

[Def Kool]

In his VH1 Storytellers version of Touch The Sky when he screams :"THIS MUST BE HEAVEN!" it's so sick and full of energy

 

[LookAtcha]

i love the emotion he puts into his heartless performances. snl, storytellers, and live at gibson is prob my fav.

 

[593]

Hmmmm. If I think about it, I definitely have a few. 1. The very opening notes of Streetlights....gets me every time. That whole song gets me but the beginning and then when the backing vocals come in, that gets me the most. 2. The strings that come in during Bad News, like someone said above, I think at 2:07 3. In Never Let Me Down, from the last few bars of Ye's verse, all the way through J. Ivy's verse and ending after the "Take em to church" part. 4. The very ending of Heard Em Say, where the beat switches for about twenty seconds or so 5. At the end of Spaceship when Tony Williams (I think its him) says "I wanna fly, said I wanna fly, I want my chariot to pick me up and take a brother for a ride 6. The "here's to the roc" part of the sample in Last Call. 7. The second time Kanye sings "Had some problems befo, but see, we let em go, got an ounce of that dro, and we about to let it blooooow" in Celebration, aaaaand 8. The last verse of Gone, with only the strings, the drums, and Kanyes rapping.

Seeing Ye get on the piano was a great moment that I would like to see again.

[Chamelio]

The second time he does the chorus in Late and he sings "stop yo' cryyying babay".

Gets me every time, lol.

DIAN right after the last chorus when he sings "haven't said a woooord, haven't said a woooord to me this evening". GOOD shit!

In his VH1 Storytellers version of Touch The Sky when he screams :"THIS MUST BE HEAVEN!" it's so sick and full of energy

That whole track on VH1 Storytellers is SICK. So much energy, a great performance.

From Never Let Me Down:
"Noting sadder than that day my girl father past away
So I promised to Mr Rany I'm gonna marry your daughter
And u know I gotta thank u for they way that she was brought up
And I know that u were smiling when u see that car I bought her
And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up"

So sick.

Btw, epic thread. Even though I've heard pretty much all of these epic moments, it's nice to hear 'em again. Kanye really is the man.

 

[Chamelio]

Yeah I like this thread.
