Listen to SNL performance of black skinhead and compare it to the cd version. This shows how much more raw and energetic the song could have been, the album version sounds so much more radio friendly it throws off the whole yeezus vibe for me. It would have complimented the album sooo much better had he went with SNL version

how do i quote a video?

Add a " ! " before the link.

But cdq Kanye always pales in comparison to his more energetic/dramatic live performances. Especially the live All Day performance and Wolves on SNL

Love that it its own beast

vh1 storyteller versions > studio album, but 808s is 10/10 anyways so no room for improvement theoretically ;)

This is another example of a great live bersion that wouldnt have translated to cdq

Cdq IS the superior version

rick rubin invented

All of his live performances of Yeezus are god like and better than the studio recordings.

Completely agree. Because of this it is undeniably the worst song on the album. (Still goat though)

Imagine thinking Send it Up is worse than CDQ Black Skinhead.

Shouldn’t be too hard since it’s an embarrassing 90% of you.

people acting as if CDQ version doesn't have Kanye screaming GOD at the end

don't think rick rubin decides how loud kanye yells while hes recording

Its like this in the og demo. It's not all that tbh lol

What the f*** is this “The OG is better!!” Meme/trend the Yandhi leaks started

Must be some ooh look at me I’m edgy I like the other version trend going on

__insert ye creation here___ should have been so much more than it turned out to be

The song is only used in nonstop movies, ads, sports etc etc

It's awful and a result of leak culture. This entire sxn is just now people b****ing about how much they loved the other versions of everything.

Cant wait for "Good Ass Job woulda been better then MBDTF"

people trying to feel a sense of superiority of potentially knowing stuff before other people.

same herbs that be in youtube comments bragging about being one of the first to listen to a song

Nah this been a trend since like yeezus era with the pre rick Rubin album, shmg, and etc
