i thought the first mastered version was better. i don't like his voice in this chorus i think it sounds a little weird. some cool additions but overall i like the first one better. a mix between the two could be tight. and of course an added rap verse would make it sick.

all you haters gotta be more open-minded. Its okay for a rapper to sing if he sings it right. Unfortunately the chorus is still fucked up, which sucks because it sounded really good on the live version. He need to do the chorus the way he did it on the live version.

right so this is the third version? i'm losing count, and not really seeing the differences, but they're getting better, slightly

not saying this is my style, or alot of ya'lls taste by the sounds of it, but it's just music... just because you're expecting that usual kanye west the hates coming

it's just the other side of kanye west.. he's having fun with it, and if this sells he HASNT fucked up.. right?

I don't know why there's so many haters. This song goes! The production is there and even though the lyrics are pretty repetitive, it's okay. But the chorus is off the hook! The drums got the heart pumping in the song. The style is sick.

I know there are a lot of vocoder haters out there too, which includes me sometimes, but this song gets a free pass to me because of the inovative theme and non-idiotic sound. Keep it up Kanye, this song is already bangin'!

For yall hating. Kanye is a real creative dude. I can understand if you don't like it but don't shit it on cuz YOU KNOW ITS GON SELL. I was telling my nigga bout dis song I when I first heard it I was like this shit sucks but the next day I listened to it again and it grew on me.

Honestly, I think its the beat. That beat is so hard. I can see the remix now. Know LIL WAYNE GOTTA SING ON IT which is gon water it down butJay-Z and Andre 3000 would kill this beat. You gotta opened ur mind to just gunz, drugs, and money sometimes. Kanye is a balance force in hip hop.

Oh yeah..I heard he put more drums in this version but I think he gon change it again. The chorus is off but THE SONG IS ABOUT HIS GIRL ALEXIS. I heard somewhere that they back together. KANYE A BEAST.

you know what...Kanye obviously isn't listening to his FANS (not haters) about this Auto-Tune stuff. Kanye is my favorite rapper...BUT if he's going to rap and sing with Auto-Tune...then this isn't Kanye West anymore...o.k i can see a few songs with Auto-Tune just b/c it's cool to play with or whatever...but he needs to come around.

OH! and that comment: "If you don't like autotune... too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!"

come on Kanye...don't lie dawg...we've heard your mixtapes...and CD's...no hits of Auto-Tune in those...

didn't every real Kanye West fan come from his early mixtapes and the College Dropout?...Hip-Hop
