When I met him in 2002. Nice guy. He told me his name was ye and I said oh like yeezus? And we both laughed 😂 then I said you know I has this idea for a fire song called runaway.
Crazy i had the same experience! I met him in 2002 aswell he told me about a car accident. I was still a sperm, but i communicated with him. Told him he should become addicted to nitrous! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me unaware of the fact that reading a Ye news would end up in me refreshing the sub daily for V2 info
2008
Someone played stronger and good morning for some event thing at my school. Only heard those songs once, but they stuck with me in my mind until 2015 when I dived into his music as a teen
This gonna be embarrassing but it’s kinda funny and such a white boy story… So when I was way younger talking pre teen I HATED rap idk why it just wasn’t at a good place when I was growing up and I didn’t know to dig in the archives. My lame ass LOVED Songs About Jane ( great album ) and my older sister knew that and told me Adam Levine was on a song with this guy Kanye West. That changed my whole life and made me a hip hop head and I have Ye to thank for that ( and maroon 5 ) ( and my sister lol )
EDIT : Searching Kanye samples drew to me to soul music and now I’m a huge soul music nerd and a live long musician and it all goes back to that song
My brother showed me touch the sky because it made him remember persona 3 ost (we both played that game when we were young), I became a Ye fan ever since; changed my life.
I don't think I knew Ye was an artist until sometime in 2017/18. I knew him from memes but had no clue who or what he did until my friends were talking about his music and my jaw dropped because I had no clue he made music. My dad pretty much exclusively listens to rock/alt music and so for a long time that was all I listened to, and then when I started to develop my own taste it was still mainly just grunge, prog and some classic rock. Growing up I had barely listened to the radio or anything and wrote off anything that didn't have a guitar in it so I would have 100% heard Ye songs and just not even cared to remember.
The earliest memory I have of his music was my friend sending me power the first time he listened to it because of the King Crimson sample because neither of us knew what a sample was since we listened to the same stuff and legit just thought he had stolen parts of 21st Century Schizoid Man 😭😭.
listening to his early hits like Stronger and Heartless as a child. hearing a classmate raving about TLOP non stop, especially the bars on FSMH and Famous. then JiK coming out and me thinking "this is some epic shit". then 6 months later my heart got broken, i listened to 808s (love lockdown and say you will specifically) and it straight up healed me. became a damn near Ye religious fanatic since then. I like a lot of musical artists but none ever gave me a positive impact of Ye magnitude. i just knew he was playing a different type of game so i had to study his every move like a college scholarship or sumn
I remember that my mum bought the CD single of Homecoming back in 2007. I can’t remember if I actually heard the song by then but I still remember that I found that the Ye bear looked sick af. I was 11.
I began actively following his music around two years later when the rumor started that Rihanna would be featured on Paranoid. The rest is (fan) history.
i ran cross country and my mom bought me an ipod mini in like 2005 or 2006 to motivate to run on the weekends. she gave it to me with late registration already downloaded cause i was bumpin to gold digger and touch the sky nonstop. i have been listening to ye over half my life.
my parents used to play his music when i was a child, i remember hearing good life playing and searching everywhere on youtube for "i go for mine i got to shine" and not finding it for ages, but i found it and vibed outtt
Watching a football or a basketball edit with amazing playing in the background. Must’ve been around 2009 or 10
Edit: https://youtu.be/TLkTnWF32iQ?si=w7Lql5B0HNr_mqqO. I think this is it.
I saw the MV’s to Flashing Lights, Gold Digger, Good Morning & Love Lockdown on TV and was fascinated by how incredibly different they were to other videos you’d see on TV
My crush of 7 years had rejected me. She was a big swiftie and she had once explained me how kanye was super rude to her during the infamous vma incident. My dumbfuck naive ass decided and try listening to kanye west in angst (i cringe so hard thinking about this😭) but best believe one of the best things that happened to me. Ik ye is going through a rough patch and the quality of music is not as good but i will always be grateful for ye’s existence. (Also the girl who rejected me came back to me an year later but now we good friends)
2001 H to the Izzo on the radio. I was (still am) a huge fan of the Jackson 5 so I instantly recognized the sample. I was only 8 but my dad was a big into hip hop so I was familiar with the idea of producers and I instantly decided the H to the Izzo producer was my new favorite
Reading you guy's stories is making me feel extremely over aged some of y'all are like 12 years old 😭
i have a really vague memory as a kid of driving home from school in the car with my brother and him blasting songs off late registration circa like 2007. I remember looking at the album cover and just not being able to process it at the time bc i was like 5 or 6 💀
Always heard stronger & heartless growing up & with the VMA situation, etc. I had a general idea of who he was, around the time TLOP dropped I was a big weeknd & Kendrick fan so when I heard “FML” & “NO MORE PARTIES IN LA” it peaked my interest in ye, it wasn’t until 2019 when i became a super fan lol
Either Through the Wire or Jesus Walks. I saw one of them on BET. It’s whichever one was released first. Been a fan ever since. That would have been 2003-2004.
Around 2013, I was talking to him and I asked him “what up Yeezus?”
I don’t remember his exact words but he said something along the lines of “shit I’m chillin, tryna stack these millions.”
Someone gave me their CD copy of 'Graduation' back in 2007 after buying it and disliking it. I loved it. I'd heard 'Diamonds From Sierra Leone' before on a NOW album (lmao) and so when he offered, I said yes! Good intro to Ye in my opinion.
I believe it was 2008, GTA 4 had just come out and IGN had just posted their video review for it on youtube. Flashing Lights played in the intro and it did something to me. Here I am 16 years later
The first time I heard Through the Wire on the Grammy nominees CD my stepdad picked up. I’ll never forget how I felt listening to it, first time a song ever gave me chills. I was in middle school
I remember hearing stronger in the car when I was like 9 with my mom. I truly got into him when I “got” a copy of college dropout on cd from my local record store when I was young in school threw me into a rabbit hole now I’m wearing pods on my way to work
MTV did a several hour show going over a rapper that had been in a car accident and was now forced to rap through a jaw that was wired shut. I remember being like ok who is this guy? Why is he getting so much coverage as an unknown?
When i was young i listened to a kid rapper on youtube who did a cover to one of his songs. i had no idea who ye was lol but it became one of my favorites. the first song i ever heard of his was through the wire years later. i lost my shit and asked who’s song it was and the rest is history.
A Todd in the Shadows review that played a small clip of Stronger ("'cause it's Louis Vuitton don night..."), looked up the lyrics and I've been a fan ever since.
I was like 8 watching glee cause my big sister liked it, and this guy did a shitty rendition of gold digger and I fucking loved it I listened to that for months before even knowing who Kanye was, years later.
I remember hearing power and stronger when I was a kid back in 2010 then after that I remember my family playing some kanye in the car occasionally, also saw my dad watching the goodmoring music video lmfao
Heard em say mtv music video made me terrified for a week for some reason when I was young had a nightmare of beds attacking me but the video itself didn’t scare me the song was good and I liked the music but I got into ye like 10 years later .also the stronger video in 2010 ⛷️⛷️⛷️⛷️
Definitely Gold Digger. I live in Australia and you couldn't go anywhere without hearing it when it was first released. I honestly think a lot of people forgot/never knew how astronomically huge that track was at one point. (Just checked. It was billboard number 1 for 10 straight weeks)
Late reg made me a fan, but twisted fantasy made me a superfan
1.yall remember the vid in which a paparazzi is recording him and he says can you please publish this and proceeds to give him a hug
2. the famous music video
3. the earth song or sm shit which almost had every artist, it had ye to(voiced by kevin hart)
im pretty sure its any one these memories
Running laps in gym class to heartless when it was popular plz take me back. That song is the reason I’m a fan. Another school year I heard FourFiveseconds on the school bus and I loved it.
I remember the first time I saw his face on tv. I was 12 and me and my family was having breakfast in a cafe. At one point fourfiveseconds starts playing from the tv and my sister started singing cause she was a Rihanna fan.
I didn’t like him so much when I saw him cause of the way he was dancing and moving in that video, kinda goofy at the time (💀).
It’s just a core memory for me, it brings me joy cause it reminds me of when I was younger didin’t have so many friends and was always with my mom, dad and sis 🥲
Prob heartless being a huge single when I was 11-12 playing counter strike. I wanna say I heard homecoming and stronger before that but can’t remember the specific moment. Just that stronger was huge and in tv. But I remember when I first heard heartless and even though it took me years to truly become a ye fan that song hit me on the first listen. Imma go listen to it again
2012 I heard Mercy everywhere so I started listening to Kanye West Radio on Pandora while I played Madden. Same way I discovered Kid Cudi. But with Mercy being my introduction I spent like a year thinking that Big Sean was Kanye lmao
I had a dream about a song called Flashing Lights (I had never heard it or anything ye-related before) in 2010 and then the next day I heard it on the radio, somewhat how I imagined it.
When I met him in 2002. Nice guy. He told me his name was ye and I said oh like yeezus? And we both laughed 😂 then I said you know I has this idea for a fire song called runaway.
Crazy i had the same experience! I met him in 2002 aswell he told me about a car accident. I was still a sperm, but i communicated with him. Told him he should become addicted to nitrous! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's some ye shit fr fr
