Dad Reacts to Kanye West - The Life of Pablo 

Also listened to Only One/All Day/FourFiveSeconds over on Patreon :) www.patreon.com/PutYouOn? Had to Cut 30 hours for copyright reasons unfortunately, hope you enjoy regardless 👍🏼

“This Is Not Album of the Year. This Is Album of the Life” - Kanye West

it's so funny how all dads always love sampha as soon as they listen to him

no more parties in la getting the reaction it deserved god damn i love that track so much

saint pablo makes me tear up every time, glad dad liked it

Watching this live was insane. Being down in the pit was another level.

Great reaction as always! TLOP is my favorite Ye album and I totally understand why it may not be appealing musically to a lot of peoples but I feel like once you understand the concept and what each song is trying to convey through the music your appreciation for it goes up tenfold, because the way Ye conveys meaning through the sound and composition of the music on this album is just creativity at its peak

Loved the video, your explanations (which I already know since I am a Ye fan) and your dad's reaction. Great video, this channel has a bright future.

Love seeing you and your dad bond and seeing him get emotional at the end - that's healthy right there. P.s. Saint Pablo is absolutely goated.

My favourite album ever. Thanks for doing the

Loved jamming this with y’all

I usually skip through peoples reaction videos but I watched this entirely cos of how genuine your reaction and review was. Loved it!

Kanye loves taking risks which is why he is so unique. Crazy to see the inspo for his vultures cover from burzam, him and Gucci Mane sampling a buzam song. Wild choice lmao considering… anyways I think you guys would find The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance an interesting reaction!

Just discovered this channel, love the reaction! This is definitely my favourite album by Kanye, Saint Pablo being my favourite song. Definitely gonna check out your other reactions.

I absolutely love this channel. Best music reaction channel out there!

your dad is awesome may god protect him from all harm that comes his way. all love

cool to see that pops enjoyed it!

The whole albums theme is choosing between Religious good, and being famous and drugs and stuff. In the album cover, the two photos confirm that, along with the "Which one" text under it.

Love vibing with the two of you ❤

i love you guys and your reactions. i can definitely see that you've both gotten more comfortable on camera since you first started as well - not that you were ever awkward or uncomfortable, though. 😄❤

Hey pops, with regard to I Love Kanye, you might be remembering him performing that freestyle on an SNL skit in 2016!

Amazing quality, first time seeing you guys. Keep up the content

Man loved this review

love the content gents keep it up

Honestly probably his most enjoyable album. Gets better every listen.

i was v v v late to the kanye game but this was the first full length album i listened to and wow, still a favourite of mine

Dad really felt Saint Pablo..i had tears too

Another top notch video! Keep blessing us with these. Btw where is 30 Hours track?

Pops is awesome. I’ve been looking for this concept with a counterpart that’s open minded yet has a touch of old school sensibilities.

why does 30 hours get cut out of every tlop reaction ive seen bruh its my fav track 💔

we need a ye album review next, loving the channel

Love this podcast….

Definitely my favourite Kanye album!

I had tickets to this tour in Albany NY we had ten people going. The concert was scheduled about a week before he had his breakdown and cancelled the remainder of the tour 😢 I did however get to see his MSG album release party at the movies and it felt like going to a concert lol.

What your Dad said after FML was amazing. Insight on mental illness and history of Pink Floyd all in one. And the relationship part, like how do you do it? Wow, words to think about

I probably missed it but did you tell your dad why he called it the Life of Pablo? The artistry of Picasso, the excess and hedonism of Escobar, and the religious faith of St Paul (in Spanish Paul is Pablo).

Pablo Picasso, Pablo Escobar, Saint Pablo. I wish artists, mainly hip-hop, took a thematic route to making their albums these days. At least the the mainstream A-listers

Excuse me this will be long winded but not enough Kanye fans realize his entire discography is a cohesive narrative but specifically from Pinocchio Story on 808s through Violent Crimes on Ye. On Pinocchio story Kanye sings about how he chased the American dream of being a superstar but now his mom is dead and his first fiancé Alexis Phifer left him in the same year and he feels hollow. “I just want to be a REAL boy” What’s the opposite of real? A Dark Twisted FANTASY On the intro Nicki Minaj in a fake British accent says “twisted FICTION sick addiction “ On the 3rd song Power Kanye says REALITY is catching up with me , taking my inner CHILD I’m fight for custody” and later “this would be a BEAUTIFUL DEATH jumping out the window letting everything go” So it’s the death of the “old Kanye” and All of the Lights begins the Fantasy he has of living in the celebrity world of flashing lights , getting in trouble, having a daughter and divorce with custody battles. So the album is him lost in that celebrity lifestyle and on last song Lost in the World it’s a poem he wrote to Kim before they got together and he feels lost in the world. So from there because he’s lost in the world and with “the old Kanye” now dead he creates an alter ego Yeezus which is an over the top egotistical, sex addicted maniac basically and by the song Blood on the Leaves you find out this sex addicted shell of the old Kanye became this way because of a failed relationship “we could’ve been somebody” On the last song Bound 2 gets with Kim and talks about wanting to marry her but still is speaking from the character of Yeezus with crude sexual language. The Life of Pablo’s theme is explained on the front cover , a picture of an IG model representing his addiction to attention seeking, sex, fame, ego and celebrity which is next to a picture of a family in front of a church at a wedding representing his desire to live a wholesome family life and follow the word of God and all over the cover it says “which one” because he’s still conflicted, that’s why the album switches between religious themes and love then very superficial things like money , fame and sex. The album opens with Ultralight Beam “a God DREAM” and after that there’s a bunch of songs about his addictions to the lifestyle until I Love Kanye , where he misses “the old Kanye” before the fantasy. On the last song Sampha sings “where is God in your night life” The conclusion of the thread of the Fantasy trying to be a “real boy” is on the album Ye. The album is supposed to express the reality of Kanye’s bipolar nature. The cover says “I hate being bipolar it’s awesome “ The first song I thought about KILLING You is about Kanye trying to metaphorically finally kill the other side of himself. In spoken word he says “most BEAUTIFUL thoughts are always beside the DARKEST” (My BEAUTIFUL DARK Twisted Fantasy) The 2nd to last song Ghost Town (Ghost-are DEAD) he wanted to kill the old version of himself, the end of the song repeats “I put my hand on a stove to see if I still bleed and nothing hurts anymore I feel kind of free” Meaning to become free Kanye couldn’t just kill the old version of himself because that is himself he had to accept the darkest sides of him self (put his hand on the stove) to feel free and like a kid again aka A REAL BOY like Pinocchio wanted to be.(Shake sings “once again I am child” The last song the closes the 5 album narrative is Violent Crimes. Ye raps about how he used to be a savage and a monster but now he has a daughter and has to leave that life/version of himself behind. The chorus says “REALITY is upon us colors dripping off” This lyric is a reference to one of Kanye’s favorite movies The Holy Mountain about a group of false prophets trying to find salvation on the Holy Mountain but at the end of the movie you find out the you’re watching a movie inside of a movie and nothing was real. Kanye used to play this movie on repeat during the making of Dark Twisted Fantasy on mute in the background and on the Yeezus tour he had a mountain on stage. Guess who closes the song , Nicki Minaj , and instead of fake British accent like on Dark Fantasy intro , this outro is a voice mail of her not performed in her real voice that she left for Ye in real life. Last note , the name Kanye means “only one” the name his mom gave him and a song he sings from his mom’s perspective speaking through Kanye to his daughter North. Ye is most used word in the Bible and refers to “you” or everyone. On the Yeezus tour Kanye said Yeezus meant Ye ez(is) Us. Only one refers to only Kanye(Ego) and Ye is you. Most beautiful thoughts are always inside/beside the darkest. Ye explained in an interview with Big Boi in Wyoming before the album that the album was called Ye because he was representing the different sides of humanity are all in 1, the good, the bad , the dark the beautiful etc Yeezus, Pablo and Ye is the identity trilogy because he lost himself in the Dark Twisted Fantasy of fame and addiction and the albums all together are the journey of finding himself again after feeling lost in a Fantasy/Pinocchio Story that he just wanted to be a real boy after his mom dies. Reality is upon us , colors dripping off.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS The album wherein kanye is arguably at the height of his power. Top tier reaction ❤

Wolves OG was perfection 🫤

Favorite album of all time

Bro, Saint Pablo is so good.

Saint Pablo is a masterpiece.

At the begining of father stretch my hands hes laughing cause he knows the bleached asshole line is coming up lmao

31:52 Dad is thinking of the time Kanye was on SNL in the hallway "rap battle", he used that verse

Will yall be doing a live reaction to Vultures? From what I've heard it sounds like his best material since this album/wyoming era..

This was great! I can’t wait till you guys review Jesus Is King and Donda (deluxe version). Please do Donda 2 as well! There are bangers on it!

Safe to say ultralightbeam is a top 10 ye track

Saint Pablo made me want a reaction to Sampha’s Lahai

Can’t believe I used to think this album was mid. It’s an absolute masterpiece classic just like the rest of Ye’s discography

Yooo Dad really liked “feedback” literally a song you can’t play in a casual situation lol

ive only just noticed how much your dad looks like billy joel right now

No more parties in la is so good😫😫😫

Surprised you didn’t mention the juxtaposition in father stretch my hands is completely intentional and one of the main themes of the album. The duality between God and the flesh

Do YE AND THEN KIDS SEE GHOST next !! Thanks

You definately need to listen to sampha. Hes so goooood!

Wolves is produced by Cashmere Cat. Would recommend his Mirror Maru EP or 9 album. Incredible producer.

The smile he gives before the beat drop in FSMH pt. 1 is hella real. Like he knows his dad’s ears are gonna be blessed Edit: HE DIDN’T LIKE IT??

Your dad is right - Ye did the I love Kanye verse on a SNL segment

PLEASE baby, no more parties in LA!

I really wanted to see you react to "this is why" by paramore

Your father would love the father stretch my hands from the Sunday service álbum, It has the purity he was lacking but with metro sick drop.... I feel like in in a mosh Pit with ALL the saints

Yo! You have to do Untitled Unmastered . Your pops would love it

Find disturbing you havent reacted to any Lil Wayne Projects yet !! You guys should do one next !! Carter 2 & 3.. or go to the mixtapes !

9:50 im guessing that's where you looked at the lyric

yall should check out the ye ep

Pls listen Preachers daughter by Ethel Cain 🤧🤧

No 30 hours ??

Freestyle 4 was not produced by Kanye. He just freestyled on it hence the name. It was a song by Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Rocky called WHAT THE FUCK RIGHT NOW which was supposed to be in a collab album (WANG$AP) they were supposed to drop.

Is 30 Hours not on this album????

Ok the famous line about Taylor: pretty sure the transcript of the call leaked a few years ago and it shows that what Taylor is talking about being ok with is the “I feel like Taylor might owe me sex” line and that she didn’t know he was gonna claim making her famous and she had a pretty cutting award show speech that week or the week after throwing shade at the idea someone would claim they got you to where you worked for. She got pushback on that because ppl believe at the time she OK’d it then was playing it for clout after but pretty sure she’s been vindicated that she never knew about the “made that bitch famous” line and seems like she was really never a fan.

So close to on sight 🤣🤣🤣

liked the reaction but just caught one thing, Jumpman is Jordan brand not Drake

😂😂 FSMH reaction ik he was gonna dislike it

We dont want the no devil in the house we want the lord

cool

pls tell me youve had him listen to my dark twisted fantasy

i actually didn’t know that about gospel music and roots in slavery, that’s actually really interesting and makes a lot of sense now that i think about it

This was the last good-great Kanye album

You guys have to react to brockhamptons saturation trilogy!

Kanye didn't tell Taylor that he was going to call her 'bitch' in the song, Kim leaked the edited call and that's when everyone canceled Taylor and she disappeared for a year and came back with reputation

Try to react to Coast Contra please 🙏🏿

As a swiftie and a fan of Kanye’s discography (and Kanye’s discography only) imma explain basically the Famous thing, if you don’t like taylor swift, at least keep an open mind because Ye and KKW almost ended Taylor’s career and truly, they don’t even care. During the process of creating TLOP, Kanye called Taylor asking for her consent to release Famous with the lyric “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex”. At first, Taylor said she would think about because it was a bit shocking, but Kanye convinced her and she gave him her blessing. When the song was released, Taylor went to her social media (I guess it was twitter), and she said that she wasn’t aware Kanye would call her a bitch and wasn’t aware either of the line “I made that bitch famous”. It might seem harmless but due to the happenings of the VMA, let’s say if you’re gonna cut that deep you could’ve at least let Taylor know. Kim K went on social media as well to call Taylor swift a liar, telling everyone Taylor was playing the victim. Taylor clapped back and then Kim posted on her Snapchat a video she recorded of Kanye talking to Taylor on the phone. Taylor responded saying that they took the video out of context and that Kim and Kanye both knew that. The media bought Kim’s version (lmao) of it all and went on a misogynistic spiral against Taylor swift calling her the worst things ever, making the hashtag #taylorswiftisoverparty become the top trending topic worldwide in 2016. Taylor kinda let the whole thing pass, Kim as well, even though Taylor’s prestige and career wasn’t the same. Fast forward to the beginning of 2020, someone we don’t know (I have my guess) leaked a full unedited version of the Kanye and Taylor call, that video not only shows that Taylor was really unaware of that line, but showed as well that Kanye wasn’t going to show her anyway. Now the 4 years later, the public and the media saw that Taylor Swift was telling the truth the whole time. In my personal opinion, it was a really not a big of a deal the situation itself, but it became a huge deal and almost destroyed a woman’s career, a woman’s that in her own words always asked to be “excluded from this narrative”. I wanna end this saying that I don’t come from a mind of fanaticism, I like Kanye’s career, and I think he’s a visionary artist. I like not only Taylor’s discography but the image she present to us, I admire her talent, her lyricism, her voice and her strength a lot. I consider myself I swiftie but I am aware of how toxic the swiftie community can be at times. I am also aware that those who admire and keep defending Kanye are nothing but a**holes, because even though I don’t agree or believe in worshipping an artist and I don’t worship Taylor even with my biggest admiration towards her and I definitely don’t worship or support Kanye, I’ll never put swifties and Kanye fans in the same position, because one fanbase being toxic IS NOTHING compared to one fanbase being blind towards fascism support.

30 hours ??

No 30 Hours??

30 hours?!?!

React to What's Your Pleasure? by Jessie Ware pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Closer to a donda reaction

aw man, would’ve like to see the perspective of silver surfer. and what about 30 hours? copyright issues?

Was 30 hours a bonus track ?

🤍

not liking fsmh is CRAZY

This is missing a track right?

Listen to AcidRap pls

WHY DID YOU GUYS SKIP 30 HOURS LITERALLY BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM TFFFFFFF

You've got to react to some of Drake's albums.

Wish I liked this album half as much as I like your channel 😂 For me, this is when Kanye really fell off and started to get super obnoxious with his views and opinions. I think Watch The Throne was the last good Kanye album unfortunetly. Real Friends is fire though. One of my favorite Kanye songs.

We gotta get a chris brown reaction he be on bullshit but boy can he sing his ass off

She gave him the ok to the song cause he didn't tell her the actual line.

Don’t you wish you shake your understanding of Kanye’s mindset into someone!?
