This video never got played because I refused to remove the titles on it. They said people will think a TV show is going off and I said that's the whole point. Wow... even only 3 videos in to the game.... I refused to compromise my vision.
keep it up...no compromise...period...
have you listened to the L.L. duet yet? thoughts?

That was pretty hot, I don't know why people would think a t.v. show was going off though.

i swear executives are so weak. i rarely comment, but i had to because this video was SICK. ive never seen a video with the credits rolling AS its going, and it took this to another place. in regards to whoever turned this down, i suppose it goes to show just because youre in a high place doesnt mean you know what youre talking about

I love the grainy quality of the images. Great song off a great, great album.

Rare is it that I comment though I frequent your blog often. After seeing this video (which they should've let run) I have a better understanding of where you’re trying to go artistically and I most say its genius. This video was aseptically beautiful and conceptually brilliant. I feel that you will reach your full potential abroad, for the States is too young of a country for such advance, broad minds. Hopefully you read this and it helps you in your path to greatness. Be Blessed-

I love how you show the visual of Chicago. Especially the SOUTH SIDE. I just left home 2 weeks ago and will be back for the Fourth of July weekend (currently reside in OKC). It's still Chi-Town all day. Robert Taylor/Englewood child...That's why I created EngleTay. It's coming people.

so you are saying that as commercially successful as you are, you have never compromised your vision?? I agree you have pushed through barriers strong, but I really doubt that you have never compromised.
Heike_KanYeWestLover | May 7, 2009
Thanks Mr. West. That video just got played several times today thanks to you! I've got a couple of thoughts regarding the obstacle about it being said that people would think a TV Show is going off thing. 1 question I'd say is, "What's wrong with that?" And like you pointed out, that was the whole point. Freedom of Expression. What did they expect you to do? Put a disclaimer that an actual TV Show wasn't going off by the end of the video? But the video was rockin' and I loved it. Love your million dollar smile~ and got to see it when you're next to Twista in the video! Love Jordan too, saw the statue. Saw Michael Jordan play live a couple of times. That inspiration is what I love! "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it". ~Michael Jordan

KIDDALA | May 7, 2009
Yeah this video really describes the undergroundness of college dropout. Its a shame it aint get play.
Heike_KanYeWestLover | May 7, 2009
By the way. sorry I didn't get to submit this yesterday, I'm a slow turtle sometimes..
MyNameIsPaula | May 7, 2009
I'm pretty sure you've posted it before?! Even with the same title... or not. *shrugs shoulders* I'm not sure.
Anyway- I don't get the video at all so my comment is actually useless; but I watched it so I thought I'd scribble anyway.

Not to Mention, Coodie and Chike snapped with this Vid...
Drake | May 7, 2009
AWESOME, honestly.. best shit ever ..
two words, we don't care, through the wire, spaceship, get 'em high, school spirit, never let me down, jesus walks, all falls down, family business.. i remember all of the tracks coz the college dropout is probably my favourite album of all time...ah well, what a shame..
edumacation101 | May 7, 2009
Dope video, forgot how awesome that song was, looking up again on Mos Def too.
Jodiana | May 7, 2009
Not Only is that one of my favorite songs; the Video is real and raw.. You should re-release.. I think it was what the song was saying and their excuse were the titles.. Keep it up Man
Ecko | May 7, 2009
ye, pls upload it to youtube...!! yahoo doesn't work in some countrys. :(
humilis | May 7, 2009
I thought you were working on being humble....come on man
Gabriela | May 7, 2009
it doesn't work anymore:(
Argie | May 7, 2009
It's shame because its a good video...I liked the song ever since I saw you and mos def perform it on Chappelle show...this is my favorite time of the Kanye West era, I went to your show during the college dropout album at the house of blues on sunset, it was the dopest thing ever, I wish I could see you in concert like that again...pink sweater polos doing the jesus walks dance infront of my face, that show was so intimate and unforgetable
arionie | May 7, 2009
i like that concept that shows how narrowminded ppl are in the industry is...smh continue to be GREAT MR.WEST!!
pato1605 | May 7, 2009
