It's not that bad to me, but it doesn't sound like a lead single. I think he was inspired by Ray Charles. Is that Jamie Foxx singing? He almost sounds exactly like Ray Charles.

Wow. How "Ray" affected is this? This is just a jumble of awfulness.

Wow. Repetitive much, Kanye? I usually like most everything he puts out, but this is just blah. Very disappointing. Especially after Diamonds, which I love. And pretty much everything on The College Dropout. Hello, skip button!

I am disappointed to see ''Diamonds From Sierra Leone'' already falling down the charts. It's such a great song.

... Kanye, the only way you can save your album now is to release the John Mayer track.

I can't put into words how bad this song is.... it will flop HARDER than "Diamonds" for sure. This is what you get for having such a big ego! I'm predicting this will happen to Usher on his next album.

This is taking off really well... surprising as a matter of fact. Maybe it's just the fun factor of the song.

This song is actually growing on me now. But it's still my LEAST favourite Kanye song.

I had a feeling this was gonna be bad and so I tried to avoid it at all costs so I could keep liking Kanye. This isn't as good as anything from the first album. It's very underwhelming and boring and I really don't like Jamie on this. How does he expect someone to respect him as a singer when he does crap like this? Maybe the hook and the fact that it's Kanye will save this...
I really want him to flop. Didn't "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" already start the path??

I LOVE IT! One of Kanye's best! You must not have the college dropout...that's Kanye's best work...he isn't going to garner any sales with the two tracks i've heard so far and there isn't much of an anticipation hovering around this release.
