KanYe just released the George Bush remix of his #1 single Gold Digger. It features new raps about the hurricane Katrina and George Bush's lackluster response to the hurricane. Is it up at Itunes? I think many people would buy it just because they don't like Bush. |

There is not one party I hit up at the University of Michigan campus that didn't play this song. This song is THE jam.

Foxx's parts are too catchy to ignore after a while.

The Hurricane Katrina/George W. Bush Goldigger remix isn't by Kanye West. Somebody else is rapping and it isn't that bad. He shouldn't get credit for this on i-tunes if this is a remix because he doesn't even appear in the song.

Thanks for the clarification. I'd still like to hear it if anyone knows where I can track it down. The pop station here obviously isn't playing it and I haven't heard it on the Urban station yet either.

So basically, George Bush is the gold digger, and he don't care about no broke ******s? Yea, that's pretty much the exact chorus, and its true, it isn't Kanye West rapping the verses. I'm not exactly sure who it is, but the Rhythmic here in Dallas (97.9 The Beat) had the track on Crunk or Bunk on Friday nite asking listeners if the station should keep playing the song, or if its too harsh to be on air. Most of the ppl who called in said to keep playing it, but I personally thought it wouldn't be such a great thing to hear if the listener were not black. It's a pretty one-sided view rap, and I'm not even sure if Kanye or the label has approved this. Then again, there are 75,000 evacuees in this city, and I'm sure most of the callers who called in cheering the song were from that majority. |

I wish She ain't nothing but a crack digger, cause she ain't wearing the good pair. Don't front girl just pick it out. Don't front girl just pick it out. would just fall off the charts. This song is annoying.

On WNKS in Charlotte (I think this was friday night on my way to the game), they played "Gold Digger" then (I think it was Eric Tyler) said he had a call that he just had to play because it made him so mad. The girl said something like "How could you play ____ (censored) KanYe West after what he said about the president" and there were some other vulgarities in there, but I forgot exactly how it went...So he said "So he can't state his opinion in america, but you can come on my radio show and curse?" She cursed more and HE WAS PISSED. He said something then came to the point where he said "I'll just play it again," and he played it again. I LOL'd!

I actually protested the Dixie Chicks on their first show of the tour after that was said...it was right down the road and HELLA OPPORTUNITY...I got interviewed by all kinds of papers, there was so much media there. And might I add that it wasn't because I disagreed with her...haha |

Just a bit? IMO it is complete trash, I don't know why Pop stations are picking up on it, his previous singles were much better, of course, leave it to Pop radio to choose the worst one.

I still like this song a lot, but I have to say I can't listen to it that frequently. The whole song kinda does sound like one long verse, which makes it really repetitive and hard to hear as much as we do on the radio.

I've only started to like it after hearing it at lot. The way he constructed it, it's like all things going at you at once. Your brain doesn't know what to focus on. If you don't try to focus on the lyrical content and just come at it from a beat/overall feel angle it works really well. But if you try to follow "the story" of the song, it gets messy. Up until you've heard it so many times that you finally know all the words, then it's easier to seperate the parts out because you know what they're supposed to be.
