So it looks like my hopes are shot down with a cannon sized pistol that shoots little babies holding machetes. It turns out the version we dropped the other day is just about identical to the official mastered version. I don’t hear any crazy difference or ANY difference for that matter. But then again I’m just listening on some cheap earbud headphones. Shouts to Sav for sending it through and giving confirmation. *keeps live version on Zune.

tbh, i fink i prefer the LIVE version…
I think new avenues in hip hop keep artists relevant. Kanye has once again (on and off the stage, in and out of the booth) found a way to keeps the heads buzzing. Guess you’ve earned more dollars Now go out and buy a new camera lol. I like this song (It has grown on me, but I hope he doesnt use the T-pain approach heavily on the full length), Expect a Jay Z/Kanye Collab….
this cant be…i just cant believe this is the song they are going to push as a legit single, i mean as much as a perfectionist kanye is, he cant release this material like dat, someone over at def jam is droppin the ball..
oh and im not sayin i dont like the song, i sayin that the quality of it is fucking wack.
1.
i agree shake!! that live shit sounds nice!! but im a “live music” type listener!! nothing beats that live shit!! JAY Z at the hollywood Palladium OCT 15 sold out! .. i got my ticket.. be will be backed behind a 20 pc orchestra/symphonic band.. NOW THAT IS MY SHIT!!!
i can’t see the difference either and i’ll stick to the live version. ah well. you’d think the mastered version would have taken out the damn CLAPS in the chorus.
man…theres no intensity in his verses, especially on the chorus, where the live version just blew me away…
must be redone, theres no other way.
I don’t believe that this is the final master
What the hell…He’s is still mumbling the chorus
I thought I didn’t like this track but I been singing it to myself for the past 2 days so I must like it on some level I guess.
That’s it! I gonna stop following the rumour on this one and just listen to the song! It’s obvious none of this is true and this version won’t be on the album! So i’m just gonna enjoy this version because one way or another I keep listening to it and like Raheem said, it’s sticks!! So i’ll see how the album ends up and listen to this right now the way it is!
if anyone thinks this will be the single or even have a spot on the album is a fucking retard
this will not be on his album
wait and see
Hopefully he puts the live version on the album or changes this.
Man….give that song to Sam Sparro, please.
This song is garbage and I don’t mean just the quality, it’s a garbage song. Why the hell is this dude trying to sing?
wtf Kanye?
the only thing I see different with this version is that it’s 15 seconds shorter.
i can hear a lil bit of reverb effect to bring it out but the shit sound the same.
Dear Kanye,
Get off my dick!
Sincerely,
Autotune
I love it the claps and all. When I heard it live I thought it was whack as hell but now Im definitely digging it and the bass is crazy in the whip!
listen to the lyrics its not a happy song. its emotional. hes confuses. he loves a chick, but he aint loving her…it should sound grungey and dirty… type of song you listen to after you been through some ish, been in the house for 3 4 days and you then let the beard start growing wild…i effe with it… it does sound sim to the other one, but it does sound a little better…live is still best
The Live version definitely killed…the “Mastered” version it sounds like he’s got cookies in his mouth or some shit when it comes Hook-time. E dot or, the song is still cold…
oh and I feel that the song is about his Fiancee’…it’s not that difficult to see…
LOL @ Victor…yeah, he needs to divorce Zapp/Roger/T-Pain’s synthesizer with the quickness…
awful in regard to the sound quality. this can’t be the final version.
This oughta be fake.
if you like live music, then y’all need some go-go in your life.
i’m just saying though.
is it me, or does this and him breaking a camera, changing the original album title, and this terrible mix let your hopes down for this new album? I still got faith in Kanye tho… *shrugs*
publicity stunt.
I so agree. The hook kills it for me. like the rest of it is good but then the hook comes in and it all falls down (no pun intended). im sticking to the live until he fixed the hook.
Could you make a mp3 of the live?
1st- Personally, I really think the song is amazing. I know that the chorus remains unanimously terrible, but I think its unique. Kanye completely threw us all for a loop and did a pretty good job. Even if you do not like this version, you have to admit its stuck in your head. 2nd- Don’t act like this cd is the downfall of Kanye or the Rock. Everyone knows that they are going to buy the cd the day it comes out. Even if you think this song blows, the cd is still going to kill. Lastly, until this song is made available on iTunes or the official track list for the cd is released, I’m not going to worry about any version. But if this is the final, I already dig it and will embrace the artistic value even more. Thats just my two cents.
I prefer….neither
booo! This SUCKS ASS! Man.. I can’t believe how bad this is!
JMurda … check the video post of the live version. we included an mp3 when we put it up.
