Wow, this just shows that music is really universal! It submerses and combines into all different genres. Its UNSTOPPABLE!
I guess you can classify this as "appt. music" eh Kanye? lol im not to sure tho cause it has the best of both worlds!
Your call Mr. West.
BTW: Your an inspiration to all, even if "they" don't know it yet.

...I liked Francis aka Sweeney Todd, "honest attempt", but HIS version, made me feel as though I was surrounded by flowered dressed Zombies, dancing the Foxtrot. It was...hm, ok.

This is ill as shit. Haters hate because they've never been loved. Ha!
NikNik13 | February 7, 2009
I agree that the beat was really good. The instrumental would be just fine but he gets an E for effort. I would really like the instrumental though.

Kanye, I like the sweater with ice cream in the front. I don't care how old it is, I meant to ask you about this before. Where can I find that or a t-shirt, whichever one. I just like that sweatshirt or something similar that's out now. Can you please post some when you get a chance?

hey Ye, I listened to this, left, then ran back cuz I had a thought that I just wanted to run by you. First of all how's it goin'? I'm Dane, big time fan, my web site is DangerFilms.com, we're gonna work on a movie together someday and win you an oscar just like Eminem. Anyway, one lyric that struck me just now is, "it's so hard not to act reckless." It's so true, it ties into what you've been saying about how you're not interested in being Christlike, you're happy just being you. I mean I strive to be Christlike even though I know I'll never achieve it, just because Christ is more like a ruler to measure yourself against to see if you're doing relatively OK in life. But anyway, what gets my goat is when people try to twist it around and say that people who try to be good/follow Christ/whatever are sheep and it's hard to break away and NOT try to be Christlike, be reckless, etc. That shit is really saturating our culture right now I think. I wish I could talk more about t
GoodMorning23 | February 7, 2009
this with you, maybe someday bro. Anyway hahahaha I just remembered if you do go to my web site, and watch my film "Hearts" (that I directed and star in) which is currently making the rounds on the film festival circuit, you'll see that the main character's name is CHARLES K. WEST. We are gonna work together someday man, I just know it...I want my senior college thesis to be a music video for one of your songs...

Noelle47Killer | February 7, 2009
Why do you not just give him his own accolade, put him in a league of his own, why would you compare him?? Lol. Those entertainers are all correct in their own right...but never compare God damn!
Noelle47Killer | February 7, 2009
They are not even in the same genre of music love.
syncity | February 7, 2009
"can't tell me nothing riiiight!" it's dope to hear another version of a song. it answers the curiosity of like...how would ur song sound like if it was sung by a whiteboy calm phil collins tone with a prince rambling-on-a-song trademark to it. i dig that.
michaelwho | February 7, 2009
the cure should cover this... now that would be sick. this is tight too but i would want to hear a cure cover. i would tell you kanye to try and get them to do it. but i doubt you read this. haha? maybe you do?
