@bars: Ye had "Homecoming" for over 5 years before he randomly ran into Chris Martin at Abbey Road and asked him if he could help finish it 🥹 The song started as a 2001 demo called "Home" with John Legend on the hook. Ye never landed the right version until February 2006, when he was recording strings for 'Graduation' and Coldplay happened to be in the same building Martin came into the session and had his entire part within minutes with no rehearsal The lyrics turn Chicago into a childhood sweetheart named Wendy, written from the perspective of someone who left the city behind and never fully let go. Almost 20 years later Ye opened both of his Soldier Field homecoming shows with it "Homecoming" peaked at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified triple platinum in the US. The black and white video Hype Williams shot on the streets of Chicago was nominated for Best Hip Hop Video at the 2008 VMAs Is "Homecoming" still in your rotation? #kanye #kanyewest #ye #graduation #fyp
