Didn't he win best new artist at the Grammy's? There's some sort of bad luck with that award that only Mariah Carey and X-Tina have been able to shake off and be successful after their wins. Maybe this bad luck is for his inflated ego.

This is my favorite song from Kanye so far. So while he may disappoint some he's gaining new fans to replace those that are disappointed.
Isn't GD one of the greatest gainers at urban radio?

They play this a lot on the satellite radio thing. I'm loving it now. Still can do without the Jamie noises though.

I'm confused someone sent me a track called "Bittersweet" featuring John Meyer does anyone know if this will be on his album Late Registration? It's a hot track and innovative from a hip-hop perspective.

Wow. I can't believe some people are not feeling this song...this is my jam of the moment. Possibly my favorite Kanye track to date behind "All Falls Down"

it's catchy as hell i give him that and i like it in general, but i just had the impression he would come and blow our minds with something spectacular. I got my hopes up but it's still good nonetheless.

I think this song is pretty hot as well. It is not anything extremely spectacular, but it is a nice song and it s a kANYE joint--something different. It sounds like nothing on radio. I heard somewhere that Jamie sounds like he is channeling Ray Charles and it does sound like it. It is some good music. I still contend that DIAMONDS is a better song, but the two are so different that it's hard to compare.

GD is okay at best, and Kanye's worst release. But Kanye kicks ***, period. I'll let him slide with a club banger for now, as long as LR is as hot as CD. The worst part of the song is the f***in' annoying part Jamie has. WTF?

I hate this.. When an artist tries something different and tries to be original, radio shuns them. "Diamonds" was amazing, but too different for them. This forces the artists to make music that's more appealing and "mainstream" tailored for radio.. therefore, the music is of lower quality

Diamonds was not a very good song and its performance was deserved. This song is deserving of the Top 10 R&B position it holds at R&B.

Yah, "Diamonds" is better. But "Diamonds" was too mature for radio and the sample probably threw people off from it.

It has nothing to do with being mature or not mature. It has to do with people not liking Diamonds as much as this song, nothing more.

I actually HATED this mess at first, but its grown on me a whole lot. I keep hearing it on Flow 93.5, and I only listen to the radio for a total of about 45 minutes each day, in the car on my way to/from work. And every time I have it on Flow, Golddigger comes on.
It's a pretty decent song, but I dont see it doing anything

Jamie Foxx sounds like some old school blues singer fake Ray Charles singing, IMO. I thought it was a sample?

Yea listening to it today, it doesnt sound like Jamie Foxx at all...it sounds like an old Ray Charles song...which I always thought it was, a sample...that's supposed to be Jamie?

Jamie kills it. ("kills it" is a bad thing in the Bay Area) After the intro, though, it's not that bad of a song. The lyrics are funny. It woke me up this morning so I sat and listened to them for once.
