VIDEO: KANYE WEST ft. CHRIS MARTIN - “HOMECOMING”
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Kanye West’s new video for the song Homecoming (featuring Coldplay’s Chris Martin) was leaked yesterday. Homecoming pays homage to his hometown Chicago and it was directed by Hype Williams and Morocco Vaughn.
I love the simple black and white composition and I see you Common! Make sure you peep it.

Don’t diss Kanye now…that’s MY dude, but Jay’s yours…I’ve gleaned that from the other topic where I responded to this tit for tat you and the other blogger have going over Jay. I can’t say if he ghostwrites for Kanye (I doubt it though because Jay Z has confessed that he’d like to be a conscientious rapper like Common but he needs to fame/money/attention from pop culture…well, Kanye has found a way to do BOTH…he is both a conscientious rapper and pop culture icon…he’s mainstream, in short…if Jay Z could do that…I mean if he COULD ghostwrite for a man who crosses genres…don’t you think he would do it himself?)… anyway, Jay Z said in an interview that Kanye was eager and always rapped for him and he’d be like “ummmm, ok…you got another beat?” he said it was because Kanye was so different, in pink polos and they just didn’t know what to do with him…So, the other person is right when she says he held Kanye back…he’s admitted as much…

I’m LOVING IT!!!! I wish he would have gotten more of the city, but he is repping the SOUTH SIDE…..with them Ickes PJ’s. I see you Kanye. You know, we don’t get that many people (MAJOR) coming out of Chicago, but when we do, it feels good to see someone from our city make it and come back. Keep repping us in the Chi ‘Ye and we will be sure to love you back. Chicago MY kind of town!!!!

Lol 100 Comment and lol to the comment above me (JISELA). Why u be hatin like that hahahaha. The video was very creative and powerful. The part where Kanye is looking at the DuSable Museum of African-American History then shows Common, then kanye looks down really stood out for me. Its like moving snapshots of photos made into a video. I am really diggin the clothes too.

This song came out YEARS AGO before he was popular. Go to Limewire - Artist : Kanye West / Song Title : ” HOME ” NOT Homecoming which is the new version. Same lyrics..different beat… minus the Cold Play guy. I like the original better. You be the judge.

To #55 the version everyone likes (including myself) is from a mixtape that dropped after College Dropout. It also had the original Hey Mama with John Legend on the hook and without all the synthesizer. The album version of both these songs sound somewhat overproduced versus the the organic sound of the mixtape cuts. If you dig around limewire you could find it. But of course the Chris Martin version is on the album, he’s trying push units, who could blame him…
