    Kanye Rest Drive slow homie

    Not joking at all It literally makes me cry everytime. I never had a song that literally made me cry everytime i listened to it. Family Business and Streetlights came close. But d--- the OG caroline shaw version of this song is too powerful. I can only listen to it once a month otherwise I'll start breaking down.

    First time I heard Only One I was at work in my office. Just started f---ing crying. Had to leave for an hour and get lunch and s--- to shake it off.

    Kanye can make some extremely powerful music when he wants to.

    I hope you guys are joking. The song is incredibly corny and has half decent vocals. It's not awful or bad but it's nothing note worthy.

    With all the TLOP hype I never even heard that, you're saying it's even more amazing than the original? :wtfno:

    @Narsh I honestly feel the same way about All Day. Not to talk bad about TLOP but in favor of All Day

    You haven't heard it? It's so nice, it's got a few extra lyrics from Kanye and it's got Caroline singing to the tune of it, at the beginning.. I'd upload it for you but I'm on my work computer :/
