Dad Reacts to Kanye West - Late Registration 

“She said she wanted diamonds so I took her to Ruby Tuesdays.” I swear, Kanye’s humor is so underrated in his rhymes.

The smile on your dad's face is everything my dude. My dad was a deadbeat and I couldn't ever fathom having this kind of interaction with him - I envy you so much, cherish this. It's beautiful, swear to God. Beautiful.

I love your dad being honest about his likes and dislikes. Ofc the goal is to enjoy the music but I don’t want him to pretend for us. If he doesn’t like something I want him to say it, even if we disagree. The selling point of this channel is to get his unabashed opinion, and you guys do a really good job being authentic so far.

Great album. Lots of great tracks on this one, including one of my all-time favorites, Gone. Glad to see your channel growing 🤘 Keep it up!

Late is such a deep cut I swear it’s never brought up in discussion.. the way the beat changes and slows down then speeds up plus his hook and the rhyme schemes he uses throughout the song is so good

This is why I love Kanye. He literally is Bridging the Gap between the old school soul music and today's hip hop kids. The man is a musical encyclopedia. Also, the Remix of Diamonds comes first because the original was already out as a single before the album came out. Ye chose to mix it up when he released the album and put the Remix in there instead.

Me and my dad used to bond on Kanye west a lot because he wasn't too big on rap but he always love Ye for his soulful beats lol my dad is no longer here and just watching this makes my heart smile so much. Keep it going and enjoy every moment.

This album to me is overshadowed alot when it comes to Kanye Albums but it’s a gem cause to me it was the last time Kanye didn’t go so super technical and sticked to the traditional style of his production but to me Graduation is his Greatest Album Period! But Late Registration is Kanyes most smoothest listenable album after Graduation no doubt and the production is so laid back on this album✍🏽🐐🔥🔥🔥💯

The sample from "diamonds from Sierra leon" was actually from James bond, so your dad was right

“Nahhh, he a country singer” mane yo pops got me dead

I haven't been this invested in a series in a long time 😂 you and your pops are dope and I love how he breaks down the meanings of the songs without even needing you to explain it 👏🏾

Kanye is such a brilliant producer, im glad your dad can appreciate the samples

“We Major” is THEE jam 🔥

On the Late Registration CD, the Diamonds from Sierra Leone Remix comes before the original Diamonds. I remember way back around when the album dropped Kanye was asked about it and said he always intended for Jay-Z to on it to begin with. Late Registration came out at the height of the Jay-Dame beef when Jay had already left Roc-a-Fella for Def Jam and "retired". So it took him a while to get Jay into the studio to record that song.

At 16:41 when you were talking about Lupe, I 100% agree. Hearing Lupe now and then his Food and Liquor album shows so much growth as a rapper the way he improved his breath control to spit some dope shit. Listening to any early track of Lupe and then hearing him do King Nas is mindblowing, personally. Can't wait to see what your pops thinks about Lupe's growth through his albums if you decide to branch into that.

To this day, this is still my favorite Kanye album. And yes, the remix to diamonds from sierra leone is also first in the album. And lastly, Diamonds are Forever which is sampled in Diamonds is in fact from a James Bond movie. With the same title that came out in 1971.

We Major has always been my favorite track off of Late Registration and your the first person i’ve ever seen to give it the appreciation it deserves. Thank you man…

Food & Liquor is my all time fav hip hop album. I'm glad you mentioned that! Excited to see the reaction!

man seeing you both laugh and smile together is so warming and makes me laugh and smile with yall. keep up the good work!

Definitely have you two react to Common's Be, that's like a companion piece to Late Registration as he produced both records simultaneously in 05. This my favorite Kanye record of all time too so watching people listen to LR for the first time is real special for me. Props

Thank you for this ! I cant wait to see more kanye is truly amazing, this album pretty much got me through my childhood fr I’m about to enjoy this whole video now

Amazing video. This album is an absolute classic, can't wait to see your dad react to more.

Yo this is crazy! Seeing you and your father go through Ye’s discography is going to be amazing. Keep up the good content

These first three albums play such an important part in my life, the first 5 or so do but especially the first 3, I was in europe withdrawing from stuff I was addicted to at the time and felt like hell the whole week, but I was listening to these albums on repeat the first time I heard them and it was a game changer, practically every single song was on constant replay

Love this 🙌🏾 Used to listen to hip hop albums with my mom like this when i was a kid, her reactions were priceless. This reminds me so much of that.

Loving the video! Much love to y'all! Can't wait for the 808s and Heartbreaks reaction. My favourite album of all time!

Oh man, respect to the Lupe shoutout. He’s arguably one of the top lyricists of all time, if not the greatest. F&L is so under appreciated, as is Lupe! Imo, “The Cool” is his greatest work. Would love to see reactions on both! Keep up it, man. I’m grateful for being able to experience this era of music!

So glad you brought up Common’s Be album. That came out a few months before Late Registration and it was a resurgence to Common’s career. I recommend that album to anyone, it was towards the end of my sophomore in high school. So much soul and deep lyrics. Your pops will definitely enjoy it

Love the name of your channel. I think the relationship we see between you and your father is wonderful.

For me, sharing music with you two is like therapy. Listening to good music is like learning something about yourself, and the world around you. Thank u

Both of your energies bring me joy, love those videos

Great reaction. I really hope we get to see more of your dad introducing you to some oldies.

I love how your dad always pays attention to every tiny detail in the music

When I listen to Kanye I feel like I’m watching a masterpiece of a movie 🎥. I rarely get this feeling from other artists, Jay Z gives me that vibe too

I hope this channel keeps growing 🙏, wishing the best for you guys! I enjoy the videos the bond between you two is amazing

Love this! Gonna be great seeing the progression

The connection between u and ur dad its so pleasant to watch!! Can't wait for reaction on 8080s, my favorite Ye's album. Shout out from Brazil!!

this is great. excited for more reactions

These videos are gold. It’s great to listen to this album almost through new ears with his dad.

love y’all reactions ❤️ can’t wait for the food & liquor and blueprint reactions !!

I like that your dad said it’s a classy rap album, Kanye really bridged the gap between the hood and upper class enjoying rap music. He made rap acceptable in higher society.

This is not only my favorite Kanye album but this is my favorite RAP album of all time. I know I’m biased because I was born and raised in Chicago and my mom would play this in the car with me growing up, but being 25 now and revisiting this album on the regular I can take a deeper dive and really dissect it in sections and it’s just an absolute BANGER from start to finish of a piece of art. From the intoxicating smooth beats with jazz and funk elements,to the fantastic transitions into one another. The lyrics are engaging and well sounded. You can actively listen and here what he’s saying with his incredible word pacing and flow through it all. Incredible features that really lift the songs their on to another level. And all in all, the atmosphere and over all vibe/feel of this album is just so great. Makes you feel good and like you can take on the world, to sad and personal moments that you can really hit in your feels at times. I will always love this album forever and ever and I listen to A LOT of rap of all decades and time periods and I love rap, but THIS ALBUM, THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE, THIS SHIT FOREVER HOT! Sorry for the book, but if you read it all you’re a real one lol

I sometimes watch y'all videos just so see the chemistry that you and Dad have😊. I love it❤. But I still love Late Registration too thou 🙃

Great bond between you guys. Pops is so dope!

I like everything about this your pops really know what he’s talking about aside he has good vibes !!

35:18 undeniable. Everyone eventually comes to the same conclusion when analyze the art.

Always hyped for a new vid

Very nice content. Looking forward to future reactions

love these reactions so much 🤞🏾

when it comes to early kanye late registration is my go-to cuz of all the classics like gold digger, we major, touch the sky, diamonds and so on but also cuz of the insane amount of amazing “deep-cuts” like heard em say, gone, crack music, celebration, late (basically the whole tracklist). u can really tell that he put all of himself into this album and him working with jon brion was exactly what he needed to make it so cinematic and classy. im glad u picked up on the same things i do when listening to this. yet another dope video from yall keep it up !

Awww shit. I just subscribed to y’all waiting for this reaction and a few days later here it is. I’m with Dad, off top “Heard Em Say” sets this album apart from his debut. Late Registration is def my favorite Kanye album. Love how you explained screw music to him and would love to see y’all explore some Gil Scott Heron (especially a track like “B Movie”) 🙏🏽♥️🔥

Can’t wait to tune in a listen to this one, I need my bridging the gap fix lol. A group to consider should be the fuegees

Lets goooo! My favorite of the College series! Ya pops be loving the background harmonies 🤣

Yes!!! Ur dad just gets the emotion on each song

This is such an amazing reaction bro, keep it up🔥

Im soooo excited for this!!

Shout to you guys all the way from Saudi Arabia .. love your energy.. watched this while I’m in the gym

Lovely surprise after requesting yesterday a review on the Kanye documentary, you started with a convo about it! Love listening to you both 🙌🏾🤌🏾👌🏾✊🏾 Chronology continues....🤓❤️🇯🇲

I wanna see more father son collabs. These are great!!!

Man I love your videos, great to see people having an appreciation for rap and Kanye.

Love the effort you put into your videos bro!

Been subscribed for a few weeks now and still admiring you n your pops bond. It’s always great to bridge that gap in generations and music is the best form to do it. And you can at least let your pops listen to Bridging The Gap Nas featuring his Pops

The intro and first few lines of heard em say always grab my soul

My favourite album of all time, can't wait to watch this, hope your dad enjoys it

Love this album and yasss definitely can't wait for the Food & Liquor reaction

Thanks for sharing your love between you and your father. Early Kanye hits deep for me!

i knew your dad would gravitate more to the soul sampled tracks...he was vibin on 'Late'

Absolutely love the channel keep doing your thing man !! 💯

Finally had to subscribe. We got the same era and ear for it. Good Kid, Food and Liquor and Late Registration

Another classic reaction and album hope to see graduation next Kanye is sick love these reactions keep them coming stay safe you 2 ✌️

I've been subscribed from the start and im loving your videos, keep up the good work fellas 👏

Great video as always!

Your dad's a vibe, my man!!

Always love these videos 🔥

Heard Em Say, Roses & Hey Mama so good. Hope ur pops likes them, just starting the vid

The music for Diamonds from Sierra Leone and it's remix were in fact taken from the theme song for the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. Kanye has said when he was working on this song that he was trying to go for a Rock Power Ballad type of sound kind of like the 1986 song The Final Countdown, from the Swedish Rock band Europe.

Excellent video!!

Love the vid! also love that 1 sec played of 4th Dimension by KIDS SEE GHOSTS at the end of the album lol that shuffle 🔀

LESGOOOO This album is great been hyped for this

Great video, I agree with others in saying it'd be great to see you guys go through all of kanye's albums

I love this channel man remember us when you make it

glad to see the celebration respect

Let's Go!! Rapid fire with the 2 Ye albums, love it

Love this channel

Love these guys

It’s so cool watching someone react to something for the first time when I’ve heard it a million times. Just drives home how much of a masterpiece this album really is.

H-town in the house 🤘🏻 r.i.p dj screw loved this one keep them coming

Seen clips on TikTok and decided to watch the whole video. What a beautiful relationship to see, just beautiful. What a beautiful album, his best. I’m not very far in, looking forward to dads reaction to my favourite Kanye track Hey Mama ❤

ouu can’t wait to watch this, i’m in a long car road trip this is gonna be so fun to watch 🔥🔥

Love the vids you guys are dope

I agree with dad 100% on Heard ‘em say I can still listen to that everyday!

Dope been waiting for this one as for next do dmx it’s dark and hell is hot

It’s crazy how underrated Ye still is as a WRITER for this time, people act like it’s just the production and his rapping is ok but songs like crack music are like amazingly written. The parallels to cooking and cutting crack to doing the same with music is the kind of thing you’ll probably never hear him do now he just doesn’t go that deep anymore

I can't wait to see your The Life Of Pablo reaction. I thought Kanye's best days were behind him, but that album was unbelievable.

Already my fav channel

nice catch by dad with the james bond ref. shirley bassey (the voice of the diamonds sample) was the singer on sean connery’s james bond soundtrack.

i love this make me miss my father thanks for this i feel like i’m there

just amazin as always, but man we are expecting that TPAB, come on guys don't let us waiting! love from brazil!

Let's go! I watched the college dropout vid yesterday (easy subscribe off of just that vid, and the gkmc being the only ones I watched). Didn't expect this next vid so quickly!
