Damn uneducated sonsof...

Would all you people stop saying how much you like Kanye West's "Gold Digger" please. Not only is the song just plain awful, all he did was sample Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman" and put some crappy-ass lyrics to it. Do me a fav, and listen to the original...it is SO much better than ANYTHING Wire-Jaw has ever done ( Read more... )

When I saw your headline I thought you were going to talk about Bush. But I am appalled you went on with Kanye...is it that you just don't like hip hop? B/c when it comes down to it, he is probably one of the most educated men in hip hop today. And EVERYONE samples. That's nothing new.

I am aware...haha. He is very educated, and I commend him for that and his ability to speak on the issues. However, I am just not a fan of that song at all, and can't see why so many people like it. True, I am not a hip hop "fan," but I can respect some talent. As a producer and outspoken person, Kanye is cool. As a singer, not so much.

I would talk about Bush, but most everyone knows how I feel about him. However, look for an interesting post on the Katrina stuff soon.

You sure about that?

Haha.

And when can I spill the beans over here?

That's right - it is Jamie Foxx

Its is. But my point is that the song, itself, is a lot better than the sampling job West does with it.

Personally, sampled songs are towards the bottom of my list as far as creativity and quality go, simply because its like the artist went, "I got some lyrics, but no music. So, why don't I just take this hook from this song instead of writing my own."
