Here’s a quick review for ya: Kanye uses a realllll soulful sample from Otis Redding and at times (to me at least) the sample distracts from the rhymes. Both Hov and Ye have some pretty braggart bars and Ye drops a pretty nice 2nd verse that starts with “I made ‘Jesus Walks’ I’m never going to hell, Couture level flow, it’s never going on sale”

I’d give it a 4/5, and maybe a 4.5/5 if the sample wasn’t so distracting

4/5 seems about right to me. But the song is still growing on me.

Now this is more like it, it’s nice to hear soul-sampling instead of the repetitive “lex luger” beats everyone be using.
