2 parts to this song. The verse and chorus.
1 change to the verse - transposed 1 octave.
The verse consists of an 808-style drum pattern, very simplistic.
the verse also has a very simple piano melody that consists of 4 chords, again transposed.
The chorus enters a very, very basic "african" drum pattern to the mix.
The vocals are typify the current trend of using auto-tune to make you sound like you might or might
not be able to sing.
He also has some pretty heavy distortion at times on them. Quite frankly they sound like crap.
Also, the icing on the cake, the lyrics are basic Kanye style, so it really lames up the song.
All in all, if you NEVER knew this was Kanye, would you even bother with this song? Ask yourself this seriously about all music, and re-evaluate why you buy it. Because people going ape-s over this song just doesn't make sense.

When the song finally picks up at the end, its good, but starts off too slow. I guess hes trying to fuse blues in with his hop-hop style because the bass is mostly bluesy. Needs guitar, more percussion sooner rather then later; this seems rushed, unfinished.
 Needs a good guitar lick! September 28, 2008

Saw Kanye perform this song at the VMA's and thought it was awesome. At some point I kept waiting for a great guitar lick to come in, but it never did. That's dissapointing, this song could have really benefited from it. Maybe in the future we'll see a remix? Still this song is very strong on it's own.

Wow, i can't believe Kanye would stoop this low. The Vocader effect is so old and played out. I'm so sick and tired of the T-Painful and Acorny voice effect. Hip Hop's last hope has truly disappointed with this one. Kanye, i sure hope this isn't what the rest of your new disc sounds like.
 Best Kanye West Ever!!!! September 25, 2008
