   I dont know if this shit is hot, but I really like and appreciate when artists like Kanye keeps trying to get into the next level, even if this means change to his music.

   The shit is hot. Why, because the shit is Kanye doing what he does, like he use to do. Go against the grain.. Hope the c.d isn’t some Love Below rendition shit though. Other than that I like people who are 1st, a.k.a different.. And because its such an emotional song coming off his mothers death it might be he highest selling c.d. Specially if jiggaman comes out around the same time.

   the taiko drums were dope, song’s alright, but dude can’t hold a pitch in this song and you can tell there’s some effects on his voice or the signal was jus compressed as hell…

   shit is not dope at all to me. i was disappointed, i really hope this is the only song like this on his new album. repetitive and boring imo, he didn’t even spit. where’d the college drop out go?

   those who say kanye can sing…wow, ok.

   I still don’t know… there are so many rumours and people hated Can’t Tell Me Nothing when that dropped… I’ve read in a few places that half the album is like this… which by the way Amazon are saying is out 16th December and is called “808’s and Heartbreak”

   In my eyes Kanye can do no wrong. He got me back into hip hop and gave me inspiration to start producing.

    I feel what he’s saying, Ye has always spoken for the weirdos, like him, and I can’t express how much that means.

    the song isnt the problem.
    the problem is that MTV allowed him to only do this to close their big show. I was all for the artisry until it ended with only that. He should have done this then followed it up with bringing out everyone involved to close the show with SWAGGER LIKE US (which also pisses me off as a song, but for the mere stature of those involved and what have you would have closed the show off better than just some nigga trying to be artistic.
