This is NOT the final version. The chorus is NOT the final chorus. You all know Kanye is a perfectionist and does many versions before he releases a track. What hapenned is an unfinished version leaked!!

If this for some odd reason was the final this would be as disappointing as Lil Wayne's 'Gossip' where Wayne killed the live performance but didnt deliver in the studio track.

STILL! Not the final version...it's gonna be a Looonnng time before we hear a real final. Better just wait for the album, if you remember, there were still subtle differences on the final "graduation" album from the leak that came out a week before. yeah, im gonna wait.

Joeksta quit playing with us!!! This is the same version you gave us the other day! The verses are mastered, but I refuse to believe that the final chorus is Kanye slurring his words and clapping his hands. Dont forget that Kanye made like 73 versions of 'Stronger' before the final one came out. Believe me when I say that this is NOT the final version.

i agree..Kanye..Andre 3000...Mos Def...even Common... The Roots.. it shouldnt surprise anyone that most of the hip hop artists who are willing to expand and grow, as opposed to locking themselves into one style or state of mind, seem to enjoy the most success and are truly embraced by their fans... i love hip hop..but i also love classical, rock, electric..etc. If you can incorporate new sounds & different styles into what you already do..youre going to inevitably create better music. I hate when hip hop stifles itself out of fear, lack of creativity, laziness, and the ever omnipresent mantra of "keeping it real"... i think being real is having depth, taking chances, & having the courage, insight & willingness to grow as an artist... i fully respect and support Kanye, yes even with that goddamm vocoder, for helping hip hop take another step FORWARD...instead of being content with the success he already has...be thankful for an artist like Kanye!

Good music is good music, get that into your fucking heads, sorry but hip-hop is not defined by what music the FANS want to hear, but what the artists make it, 'Ye proved he can rap his ass off so who cares if wants to try something different, he actually has the balls to try different things, AND THAT'S WHY HE'S BEEN ON TOP SINCE DAY ONE! Why would he change now!

And for the record this song is hot as shit, sorry to the die hard hip-hop heads, i respect you and I love that golden era shit and 90's shit too but those days are long gone, it was a beautiful time in hip-hop, but those days are GONE, GET OVER IT!

Lets get some definitions straight here. Hip Hop is lyrics placed over a nice beat, not a nigga singing on some techno beat. Kanye executed hip hop on his first three albums. If this is what the fourth has in store, this shit can stay on the shelf. I don't like Wayne when he's singing and I definitely don't like Kanye when he's signing. Keep that John Lennon shit in England somewhere.

I like Kayne's muzik....the man is on another level with style and flavor but what is this?

I mean forreal....he complained about how he wanted to open up with Stronger last year at the VMA's but didn't because of Britney Spears then this year he gets to close the show and he comes out with this garbage? lol

I can understand how Kanye is not afraid to try something new and change his style up but I am just not feeling it. I've played it many times and I can't seem to find something I like about it.

TO EACH HIS OWN:

The last time I was trashed, so I'll be more pragmatic in my approach to this song:

I like the song, some agree with me, others do not. I've always admired progression in hip hop, but it doesn't mean that I'll like every single sound or approach that comes into the scene. I'm thinking that the vocoder is becoming a fad, a hot thing being overused instead of something occasionally experimented with...

all i have to say is....
this is what it has come too....
kanye (who i respect deeply as an artist) can make a record....
not even finishing words in the chorus, and mumbling and stumbing through it, out of tune (with autotune) and every motherfucker is gonna drop everything they doing to say its the illest shit.....

this song, is unacceptable.....and to anyone who can listen to it and appreciate as good quality music.....then not hip hop, but the art of putting time and effort into your music to create the best possible product, has died........

fuck kanye west, he has just lost a fan......and I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE REAL VERSION OF THIS SONG...and until its fixed, it wont be played.....
