I like the 70s feel to it. It's nice he has a sense of humor about the whole George Bush comment. But Kanye is just alright to me he really isn't as talented as he thinks he is.

Love this song and the Curtis Mayfield sample, but the formula reminds me of Jay-Z "Encore".

One of the best songs on the Late Registration album with the blaring horns and a brilliant sample of Curtis' classic Movin' On Up! How can you not love this? That video is funny too!

Just when I think I can safely hate him with a song like "Diamonds", he puts out something like "Heard 'Em Say" and I have to rethink everything.

he's got some skills. i think all of the ego shit is just a defense mechanism. i don't care for his song Diamonds but i dig the song he's sampling from, would you happen to know who sings that version?

Is he just going to mumble over unoriginal samples for the rest of his solo career?

I was so hoping this was the single b4 "Heard Em Say"

Love the 70's video. He added a touch of different samples from Move On Up in the video not heard on the album in the middle

Album plays and love for vinyl records.
