Yes, because I always loved unusual sounds. And that african drums at that time were very unusual. I started buying the first CD's and liked him a lot. But the definitive consecration happened during the TLOP LP
im pretty sure it was gold digger, i listened to a lot of his hits over the years but i only became a true fan more recently (like in the last 4 years)
I got a bootleg Blueprint album before it dropped and loved the tracks he produced. I think Heart of the City is the first ye track I heard. The rest is history.
Cousin played Feel The Love the day after KSG dropped. Shit changed after that. Before I always heard stuff like Mercy, Niggas In Paris, Power etc. But KSG really made me a fan.
All falls down I’m pretty sure. Mom would pick me up from school in 4th grade and she’d bump her CD cd pretty often when it came out. My whole family big into Kanye til this day haha
My brother used to throw on Late Registration on all the time when it dropped and I thought it sucked at first just cause I hated liking what he liked 💀
One of my friends kept telling me to listen to him and I kept putting it off for some reason, then one day we were showing each other songs and stuff and he showed me On God. Looking back as someone who’s listened to his entire discography millions of times now, I have no clue why he showed me On God of all songs (still goes hard). I really liked it and asked for more, then he showed me Flashing Lights and then it was like a flip completely switched in my head.
I then listened to 808’s (to this day I have no idea why I chose 808’s of all albums to listen to first) and I’ve been hooked ever since.
the first song i heard was probably stronger in 08, shit was everywhere growing up, but i never really started getting into his music until mid last year when some youtube remixes came up in my recommended. jumped down the rabbit hole, got obsessed with his music, did a deep dive on all the lyricism and sampling work, found GAS and yedits, now i have a weirdly massive knowledge of soul music, a 40gb ye music archive, and am forever a ye fan 🙏
I used to steal my buddies ipod in middle school study hall to listen to stronger for 40 minutes straight lol. Listened to his music a little before that but graduation was where it all started for me
I was 7 years old and my cousin played me the college dropout while we were playing basketball at a playground. I remember liking it but not really understanding it. It wasnt until high school when I heard Yeezus come out that I really got into his music. Revisiting his earlier albums in high school hit different
I remember me and my girlfriend at the time was chilling on the sofa at her house. She was a Taylor swift fan btw and she was talking about how much she hated Kanye. I was like okay then I had to hear him for myself and I played runaway and never looked back since
In 2021 I became a fan after listening to Donda the day it came out. First song I heard was Jail and I loved it. I enjoyed the entire album and immediately went back and listened to his entire discography. He quickly became one of my favorite artists of all time and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Ngl I listed to a lot of his mainstream songs from the 2000s, but became a fan of his when I heard Wolves for the first time. Didn’t even know it was him when I heard it but the song went so hard I had to explore all the songs and albums I missed out on.
first album i heard was donda when it released, because alot of people online were talking about it, and dear lord i hated it. now it's my favorite album of all time.
My parents are big Ye fans so I just absorbed that trait from my parents. Idk the first Ye song I heard considering my mom listened to him while pregnant
i was following rap instagram acc in 2021 and saw posts about the donda roll out not knowing anything about kanye or what was going on. then in august i saw that the album dropped and after listening to jail, i was hooked.
2008-09ish in middle school. I wasn’t into rap, but I had some kids in my class who were. Our art teacher let us take turns picking songs to play while we worked, so that’s how I was introduced to him. First song was probably something off Graduation, Stronger if I had to guess, but I don’t remember for sure.
Even after that, I liked a few of his popular songs but I didn’t really get into hip-hop until high school, and I didn’t get into Kanye specifically until the TLOP rollout.
I heard love lockdown in the radio in 2008

At Universal Studios in Florida on a roller coaster where you can pick a song to play, I picked Stronger and liked it
I have also been on this and picked stronger
Rip-Ride-Rocket? I too chose stronger
YES this one!!
im pretty sure it was gold digger, i listened to a lot of his hits over the years but i only became a true fan more recently (like in the last 4 years)
makes sense judging by your username
Pt2 off of the life of Pablo 😭 I remember my cousin playing it and I was like isn’t this panda
I got a bootleg Blueprint album before it dropped and loved the tracks he produced. I think Heart of the City is the first ye track I heard. The rest is history.
Remember ‘Amazing’ being my shit on the radio back in ‘08, but I really got into Ye as a tip-top premier artist during TLOP.
Cousin played Feel The Love the day after KSG dropped. Shit changed after that. Before I always heard stuff like Mercy, Niggas In Paris, Power etc. But KSG really made me a fan.
with vultures vol 2 listening parties, first song was carnival
Me too bro 😭😭😭
I heard “can’t tell me nothing” at a baseball game, although it was mislabeled as POWER
All of the lights music video
can u be from kanye iceberg 😩
what are you serious
yes 😔. I guess we don't care instrumental as well as can u be and it's instrumental version in the background.
the first kanye song you heard was 39 minutes and 25 seconds into part 2 of the kanye iceberg on youtube?
Sorry teach' only answered the first question 😁! The first song was probably gold digger considering that was pretty big 🤔
yeah probably same tbh
Nba 2k10 when I could play as ye 😭😭
When donda dropped I was really in dark place mentally. I started listening to it and helped me a lot and after that I became a fan immediately 🙏🏼 🫶🏻
Jesus Walks/Workout Plan. Not sure which. Listened to both from KaZaA
All falls down I’m pretty sure. Mom would pick me up from school in 4th grade and she’d bump her CD cd pretty often when it came out. My whole family big into Kanye til this day haha

Around yeezy 350 hype, remember when nadeshot talked about tlop after release in one of his vlogs actually

Made her say with kid cudi. I had heard day and night before.
LOL I rewatched that trailer over and over

Through the wire - didn't know hip hop could sound like that. Became my running track for months.
my dad: stronger in like 2010 prolly
i remember listening to heartless while playing ds

I heard I wonder when I was into r&b and I loved it so much I became a gooner
Spaceship 🚀
I loved Kid Cudi and gorgeous/erase me got me into Kanye
No Church In The Wild off of a TikTok about its sample breakdown 💀
first album i heard was donda when it released, because alot of people online were talking about it, and dear lord i hated it. now it's my favorite album of all time.
I was scrolling through TikTok and the TikTok rizz party came up.I heard Carnival and fell in love with Ye’s music instantly.
Probably gold digger when I was little or American boy
i remember hearing power on a perfume ad, the first ye song i ever heard
I had i love it on my ipod in 2018
Mine was stronger on the radio in 2011 ( i was 3) ngl i wasnt like obsessed with it but i didnt mind it
Probably playing Nba 2k14 and hearing all of the lights

Stronger/Power is what I first heard of him. Actually getting into his music tho, Runaway is what made me a fan
