If you haven't heard this track yet. You're in a cave. I was in a cave on purpose. I wasn't excited to hear this. Every blog and forum I happened upon decided it was a terrible song.
This really got me going. The hater inside me wanted to come out for this song. But he started nodding his head and I realized. This is a good song. The Autotune isn't over the top T-pain excessive, and so what if Kanye wants to sing? Mothafuckas can't win for losing out here.
I know everyone is tired of the T-Pain Roger Troutman thing. I am too. But you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Henry will blast me for comparing it to Love Below and it's a reach but mothafuckas hated the same way when Dre just wanted to do some different shit. Then he came back ripped up a few remixes and he's #1 on everyone's list? C'mon gawd!
Say what you say about Phonte and his SV-ish group. The mothafucka is a genius.

I'm saying- I didn't like this shit in the 90's, I'm sposed to think it's next level cuz it's Kanye in 2008?
I loved Love Below (bad comparison IMO) b/c shit- everybody loves Prince! And the nigga did it WELL.
I feel you, Lar.
I'm not saying it's next level or near love below (merely a surface comparison). I'm just saying it's different for 'Ye and his fans want to keep him in his box. Nobody seemed to like Graduation either because it wasn't college dropout.
I'm just trying to unwrap the whole thing in my head between do we want A dude makes the same album over and over. (Say... The Game's new album which seems to be getting positive reviews all around but is terrible and redundant imo) or get mad because Kanye is trying something different and maybe not suceeding at the best of his abilities.
I dunno. Either way. I like the track. I don't think it's the worst thing ever. But maybe I went in with low expectations.
Thanks for reading tho!
