The whole hood winning a grammy
so when he performed it live, he really just brought everybody that worked on the song on stage
lol once again y’all buggin’ this record is dope nonetheless
Lmaoooo. And if this really “broke the internet” I’m ashamed to be a hip hop fan
where were you yesterday?
smh and people call him a genius, can’t even write 1 song or beat without help. Song ain’t anything great anyway.
you dumbass niggas know nothin about music, everyone has people in the studio to help them

…
He is a genius.
As huge ye fan (anti drake),
Honestly a kid in his basement could’ve wrote this song by his self .. the beat is very basic & the overall mix is up to par but nothing special
p.s. travis scott adds one drum to a few songs and all of a sudden he’s the new kanyes gtfo every track that was hot from him was produced by someone else
slow day at the office huh!!!!
all of these credits…..for something so average sounding.
Most ppl arent aware that other (bigger) genres of music utilize the same methods in song writing.
The reason why people are dragging Kanye is because of the whole Beck thing. I pretty sure if he never said respect the artistry no one would of care about him having so many writing credit.
ppl need better things to do
19 fucking people to make that overrated song, what a joke.
If you told me kanye, puffy, kendrick lamar, french montana, paul mccartney, cyhi the prince, vic mensa, 88 keys, plain pat and a dozen others came together to create 1 song I would have expected somethng truly amazing, instead we got some BS.
respect the artistry of hiring other artists to carry you so you can spend all your time designing concentration camp inspired fashion
I knew I heard a little Drake in there.
ALL THIS for a song NOBODY is that excited about (‘cept maybe ‘Ye), but c’mon that song is average at best.
nigga speak for yourself its been chartin at top 40 all week
to stood for me on this Kendrick Lamar written credit and how Puff Daddy, and French Montana are jack producer points Velous & Charlie Heat.
french jacked them and since diddy owns french he gets his slice too LOL
my fav hip-hop album was entirely produced 2 guys, the ones who were in the group and on the cover.
if you could take a negative opinion to the bank and cash it in.. a lot y’all would be on the forbes list.
Hahaaa
#WASHEDUP
I heard that Kanye gives you writing credit for a simple shit like changing this word or say this ad-lib. I doubt kanye needs help writing his verse. I also might add MBDTF was the same way.
I heard Kanye gives you a pair of ugly sneakers and shows you naked selfies of Kim if he steals your song or beat and puts it on his album and pretends he’s a genius innovator.
shut your bitch ass up
Not just kanye..music in general, if you change a word or an adlib you get a writing credit
Drake writes his own shit
nigga read the credits of his songs all these artists have writers
this doesn’t mean ye didn’t write the record. niggas get points for being contributors. and being a contributor could mean as little as bouncing ideas. stick to non commenting trolling fuckboy
All this attention makes me sick.
Besides the GOOD Music Album and parts of WTT, Kanye hasn’t done a truly great HIP HOP Record since “Graduation”. And I say that as a supporter of his work. I thought “Yeezus” had its “moments”. But I haven’t been IMPRESSED with his work in a while. For me its about the MUSIC and I guarantee ain’t NOBODY reading this banging Kanye on a consistent basis… And you are its from 5 or more years ago
ITS ALL BEEN DOWNHILL SINCE HIS MOMMA DIED. KIM WAS THE NAIL IN HIS COFFIN
This the genius y’all speak of?
nigga youre retarded if you dont know that every artists has some additional writers to help with the song
DAMN, EVERYBODY WANNA SLICE OF THAT YEEZUS PIE!!!! THE THIRST!!!! HA!!!!!SMFH!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@b.dot what’s your take on the song?
I have a feeling Ye gives out credit so generously so that people around him get Grammy awards lol
why this is out and why we care..the song is okay
“Why do we care?” says the nigga that clicked the article then read it. then asked why do we care? They post it because obviously PEOPLE care. including YOU.
but why all of a sudden we care about how help Ye right a track didn’t they help him right the last album
There are different kinds of genius, and there is at least one type that goes into a song like this. Ye wants to make it as a team, he’s the brilliant curator and main performer on the track. Like a previous commenter said, he gives credit to someone who just gives the punch to a bar, or adds a word… like they just get in a pow wow, listen to the track again and again until they find it. It is very precise, perfectionist type stuff. He made it a team endeavour. If you listen to the unfinished version of All Day, he does his initial mumbling, and you hear he already has a few of the lines: “Rico Sauve, ridin round listenin to Sade…” , but then he scraps others from the final: “President’s in Brooklyn like the Barclays Center”. Obviously taking input from lots of different people is what he is comfortable with; it’s been that since MBDTF. The Brit Awards performance reflects this process. Everybody eats.
Ps. the track knocks so insane. I don’t know what some people are hearing.
Kanye is never gonna let CyHi blow up, he wants to keep him in the background writing lyrics for him.
check out http://www.loser.com if you need a good laugh
kanye probably did that for publicity
The song actually sounds like 80% of the garbage being played on the radio today. Its kinda wack, and im a Ye fan.
Someone of the song writing credits stole part of my track..looking into legal recourse now.
kendrick lamar? wtf lol im done
nigga must of let all 19 add a snare each or some shit lol
“Kendrick please come and make my songs better. I can’t make hits by myself”
The people that are “hating” and joning on this man Smh are the people that weren’t listening back in 2005… They not fans b yall not fans for real.
Let’s put it this way, if you want to take away from Kanye’s talent as an artist because there are multiple credits, go ahead and take away from the talent of your favorite football/basketball team’s coach. Oh yeah, those coaches have nothing to do with their team winning. Smh…
Those coaches don’t have their names on the jerseys and logos. They didn’t name their teams after themselves.
FUSION IS THE FUTURE.
wtf?!?!? yooooo, he got mario winans on that shit?! Ye a fool for that one hahaaaa
you niggas are retarded i can tell you guys never worked on music for real, a nigga in the studio telling you how you should say a line, is the same thing as helping write it, stfu actin like he had niggas just write every line for him or some shit, all artists including drake do this just look at their fuckin credits in the booklet dumb niggas
To many GOD DAMN cooks in the kitchen! Mother fuckers are afraid to be alone with a pen and pad these days.
