S1 doesn't get enough credit for this. Kanye and Bhasker just added the ear candy to a mostly completed track. They did spend a ton of time perfecting it though.

[Bobbytheman]

Fun fact: Kanye actually put together a choir because the original sample wasn’t really fitting too well into the song so he decided to have an ensemble sing and clap the sample

[Rentgen_]

We really need Tracklib to do full sample breakdown of MBDTF!

[OMARI_]

one of the greatest songs of all time. certainly reflects the amount of work put into making this song and sampling

[lilnariz]

the drums go so fucking wild on this song

[nhlanhlasithole]

This song solidified him as the greatest mind in music. Incredible. The song, the visuals. Otherworldly

Man I love when they said:

“Neuro-scream, Neuro, Neuro-Scream, Neuro, Neurosurgeons-eam, Neuro-Scream, Neuro, Neurosurgeons-eam, Neuro-Scream, Neuro, 21st century schizoid man”

[LeBeautiful]

I felt my power level rise over the course of this breakdown. Thank you Tracklib 🙌

[erni_fx]

That text animation was tight af!
Give that man a raise!

[lexotaku]

editor deserves a raise for syncing the title of the song to the drop

[FunkyMunkey_]

Simply one kanyes greatest songs. Very good sample

[paxtonpods]

such a legendary song from a legendary album

[WAVMAGE]

insane sample, insane flip, insane song

[kioata]

A compilation of Sample breakdowns of MBDTF would be insane

[brsvideos]

I'm not a Kanye fan but the sampling on this song is S Tier.

[miikah]

Late registration would be amazing to cover in a sample breakdown video.

[robertmatthews]

This and “Can’t tell me nothing” are his best songs IMO.

[marquesbowden]

To this day, this song (and the album for that matter) gives me goosebumps when I hear it.

[tiyaningobeni]

Nah man the amount of talent to combine three samples into one song

[bpk]

I think that song & the whole album reflects of what’s going on about him today.
