Kanye became famous, got money, and didn't stay humble. I miss the old Kanye West. But he's still a good lyricist and a GREAT producer. P.S. You guys might not like him now, but I hope you respect him. He puts so much effort into his work. Why do guys think 'Watch The Throne' wasn't leaked? Because kept the HARD COPY with him at ALL times.
if this song dropped today it would stick get respect... obviously it wouldn't be on MTV and all that cause they cant play real hip hop anymore but it could be on their other channels that focus more on music, hell even BET would have a hard time playing this now which is sad.... the true hip hop heads would find it, only way this song would get big is cause of Kanye, which is sad, and we all know his flow on a track like this would be 100% different than it would be now... I don't even think he believes in the lyrics he spit in his older music anymore, that aint who he is, I truly believe now he was faking this whole "college boy" thing cause that was the "swag" at the time with Talib and Mos Def , as well as Common, the "educated" rapper was just a phase... whats sad is THERE ARE STILL HELLA TALENTED EDUCATED RAPPERS LEFT!!! they just don't get any radio or video play.... real hip hop exists you just gotta dig to find it...Blue Scholars, Dilated Peoples, Action Bronson, ANYTHING Jake One produces, Freeway, Murs, it all still exists!!! just don't give up and SUPPORT IT!!! BUY IT and if its a free download then by all means DOWNLOAD IT!!! keep the scene alive... I think my rant has gone on long enough, i end it by saying GO SEAHAWKS and GO SEATTLE RAP SCENE!!! WE GOT TALENT FROM SPORTS TO THE MIC!!! HALLA
Love this! Respect for every single word you wrote on that comment, it has been about 4 years since the last time i listened to this song and it still motivate me to be better and after reading this I know theres still hope!!
Nas was ironic saying hip Hop was dead... Magazines keep saying Hip Hop is dead cause they think it's a craze and a fashion... Hip Hop is a culture and can't die!!! Common, Kanye West, Mos def, Dilated People, Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, The Roots, and so many more are here to prove it. Peace Peace Peace
Idk about genius, and I don't listen to anyone who uses autotune if they"re dedicated to a career heavily related to singing, it takes away from the true skill needed to make music and suddenly you see people like T Pain come in and not have any skill yet become hugely rich and famous. But then again I don't listen to him all then much.
yeah, you're right that we put ourselves in those situations, but you do need to realise (especially in hip hop) that not every bad circumstance is consequencial to your own decisions. such as: being stuck in the ghetto, racial bigotry, police brutality, political injustice, ect.... all a crappy circumstance. none because of our decisions.
@imaslacker520 I miss the old Wiz Khalifa too...the one from "Show & Prove". Of course, quality's not what sells these days, so he had to dumb down his sound for the big money...Wale had to do the same thing. Somebody's gotta change the game and make these quality deep lyrics sell again!
Dammnn, the song's 13yrs old
and still bumps. Props to the REAL hip-hop heads.
FOREVER one of my favorite songs... good vibes everytime I hear this
2020 we still here real hip hop
Kanye West is still a musical Genius... hate him or love him you can't deny true talent...
Kanye had some of the best beats and versus in hip hop back then. I miss the days when music had a positive message.
i don 't know what 's better getting laid or getting paid , but when i 'm getting one the other getting away !!!

There was major chemistry on this track from the making of the beat to the lyrics
Saw them first time ever yesterday in Dallas, kickass show, fan from now on.

Pure Quality!!
i love the stairlift bit at the end. so good!!!
Damn almost 10 years ago..
Makes me almost a bit emotional thinking about the past
Also Kanye West did a sick job on the beat.
Is it me or does the chorus feels a lil eerie like a sad world epidemic type thing
they have the sickest lirics :X good shit
Took years to find this song lol but finally found it :) didn't even knew who sung it lol
I'm pullin girls of the bench like a sixth man!!!!!
CLASSIC!!!!!!
I dedicate this to Jam Master J
Run DMC showed me how to... Walk this Way!

BEST KAYNE VERSE EVER! HANDS DOWN
Shirwyn Scope not even close
Kanye Best Verse is on Get By Remix
if this song dropped today it would stick get respect... obviously it wouldn't be on MTV and all that cause they cant play real hip hop anymore but it could be on their other channels that focus more on music, hell even BET would have a hard time playing this now which is sad.... the true hip hop heads would find it, only way this song would get big is cause of Kanye, which is sad, and we all know his flow on a track like this would be 100% different than it would be now...

dope track few years back
rip jam master jay!
this video makes the most sense we have living in dangeous times
Increasing NASA:s budget was awesome
crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
good song,,, serio ehhh!!!!!
I miss this Kanye
I love how homie is shaking his head all disappointed like, "Those NASA guys just don't know what it is like in the hood."
John Legend snapped on the chorus
Great song :D
Its good because it tells a story and has some lyrics that arent over and over like all the new rap horse shit out there.
very good song!
i don't know whats better getting payed or getting layed, i know when im getting the one the others getting away lol real shit
Kanye's way of rapping is spoken word(more of talking an crazy words rhyming poetry at its finest) but to put it to a beat you have to find your flow
I think too, because he is in the Likwit Crew where dilated people are
Nas was ironic saying hip Hop was dead...
Magazines keep saying Hip Hop is dead cause they think it's a craze and a fashion...
Hip Hop is a culture and can't die!!!
Common, Kanye West, Mos def, Dilated People, Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, The Roots, and so many more are here to prove it.
Peace Peace Peace
RIP JMJ
1/28/20: Listening..... IF.....I can establish a connection!!!

Idk about genius, and I don't listen to anyone who uses autotune if they"re dedicated to a career heavily related to singing, it takes away from the true skill needed to make music and suddenly you see people like T Pain come in and not have any skill yet become hugely rich and famous.

saw this dudes at soundset they made the show
20 people CAN live their lives this way

EVIDENCE!
yeah, you're right that we put ourselves in those situations, but you do need to realise (especially in hip hop) that not every bad circumstance is consequencial to your own decisions. such as: being stuck in the ghetto, racial bigotry, police brutality, political injustice, ect....
all a crappy circumstance. none because of our decisions.
now this is the kanye we all want back
this song is so good XD
Kanye goes hard!!!!
incredible
Insperational!!!!!!
Kanye finnaly made his mind after a centuary
did anyone see the ad, what is the song for the ad
@imaslacker520 I miss the old Wiz Khalifa too...the one from "Show & Prove".
Of course, quality's not what sells these days, so he had to dumb down his sound for the big money...Wale had to do the same thing.
Somebody's gotta change the game and make these quality deep lyrics sell again!
true stuff!
well said!
Ah kanye with a backpack...
🔥🔥🔥🔥☺
@mburmy Fasho bro I feel you! I recommend this guy named "Hopsin" and the entire Strange Music crew! Real Hip-Hop.
DJ Babu on a clip is the best one! :D Tune 10/10, clip 10/10. It's real music, not fuckin' bullshit for sold out asses!
