Kanye Wants More Love From Jamie Foxx On New LP
NEW YORK — Kanye West is going to be celebrating his 28th birthday this week. So what do you get the man who has everything? If you're his friend Jamie Foxx, maybe you consider just saying yes.
West is producing on Foxx's
upcoming Love Music, but the Chi-Town Grammy winner wants a key performance slot on the album (see "Twista To Reunite With Kanye And Jamie Foxx On Kamikaze Follow-Up").
Foxx sings on "Gold Digger," the next single off West's Late Registration. "Diamonds," the lead cut off that album, is already on the radio, and the video should be airing soon (see "Kanye, Jay-Z Give An Early Peek At West's Late Registration").
"I been begging him to let me rap on the first single," West said. " 'Man, Jamie, what's up? What's good, man? I rap all right, man, you could let me get that shot. You was on my first single ['Slow Jamz'], you on my next single — let me get that shot, come on.'
"Jamie's a fool. He comes in, we'll be joking around," West explained of collaborating with the Oscar winner. "We all have a good time, it's really good energy. He plays his music, it's inspiring, it's fun."

How is Jaime Foxx egotistical? I think he was very gracious with his win at the oscars.

After understanding Diamond fully. The blacks were killing each other over diamonds for money or something. He was on 106th and was doin some remix of diamonds and said something about Gold. So Gold diggers may be a deep song too

I watched Oprah just cuz he was on it and I could tell he had an ego definately by then. |

I'm listening to this song right now and it's all right. It's not as good as "Diamonds" though. From where? |

Through the wire, diamonds are great songs but they dont sell records, thats why he released "all falls down" and now this song cause they are more commercial.........personally thought all falls down is better than gold digger.....but its a pretty good track, nothing groundbreaking but a good song

I didnt even know who Kanye West was until like a week after his album came out when it sold 400 something thousand its 1st week. |

i dont think his singles are strong like the first album (diamonds is hot, but nobody has heard it lol)..........i think 2.5M tops!.......plus he had slow jamz out around the same time also and that was huge!

If "Diamonds (From Sierra Leone)" flopped, this won't even make the Top 100.

Just heard it three times back to back to back cause that's how GCI played it and the DJ was calling it his summer jam. I'm not feeling it.

Hmmm... I'm a little disappointed. Kanye may suffer sophomore slump.

Very underwhelming. This sounds like a good album track, but an emergency "lead" single to save an album? Nope, not even close.

I never expected this.
There must be a "All Falls Down" type of a track on that album somewhere.
