      Remember this being the first time I heard this and he dropped Kick Push later. I was kinda disappointed cause the song was a little buns but I felt like he was low key the best rapper I've heard. I was looking for reasons to inwardly hate on him because he was just too good. Lowkey could've made 2 verses better than Kanye did on this.

I hardly knew who Kanye West would get to be back then. Marvin Gaye is watchin from above and feelin' proud - Kanye really moved on up. Despite what some people say about Kanye, to me he was always a visionary, always an artist and a good musician. And this right here is my favorite track by him.

    Kanye is really a genius. Or at least, he was. This video, start to finish, is one of the greatest music videos of all time. On top of all that, the song itself is insanely good. Lupe's verse, Kanye humming along to the sample, even the reference to the whole George bush thing... he could poke fun at himself and not take himself too seriously. I really wish Kanye would go back to these simpler times when it was about the music and the artistry. It was the quality, and the passion. This is the Kanye we miss and support. He was real.

    I remember this music video being on MTV when it first came out. I still often think of it and come back to it to watch. Literally this is one of the best music videos ever made. The whole thing is genius. And to think Kanye put up all the money he had to make this video because he didn’t like the one the label put money up for. He risked it all for this and came out a winner with this.

      He proves that the best person you can be is yourself. The hate in the media just proves how biased they are, not about the character of Kanye West.
