Support NeoGAF

Song slaps.

I've actually never seen the video until now. I don't really care for music videos but that was pretty good.

 

[blame space]

if you listen to Barry bonds 200 times you will eventually like it

 

[collige]

Looking back, it's easily the worst song on Graduation apart from the two obvious ones. The sample flip is uncreative.

Music video is pretty fun though, even if it just Kanye cosplaying Tetsuo.

 

[blame space]

do you think he meant to make "I'm the boss"/"on the balls" ambiguous? I swear I heard it as play secretary on the balls for years.

 

[kikiribu]

See, what we're not gonna do is invade a thread celebrating one of the best singles from the 21st century's most influential artist and derail it to talk about someone who hasn't been relevant since they shaved their head.

PopGAF trolls are just a played out meme. How else are they gonna get attention?

 

[The Driver]

One of the GOAT Yeezy tracks. If you throw this on and someone doesn't like it you need to disown em.

 

[torre_avenue]

do you think he meant to make "I'm the boss"/"on the balls" ambiguous? I swear I heard it as play secretary on the balls for years.

What does that even mean? What could that even imply?

 

[LionPride]

Reading the lyrics, it comes off a lot crueler than any other song on the album. The lyrics and Kanye's delivery is probably the worst part of that song. That being said, I like the waltz melody and the Can sample.

I will listen to Freestyle 4 100 times before I listen to Drunk and Hot Girls one more time

 

[ThisGuy]

I got so much pussy that year. I was crushing it with ye. Recently graduated too.

I want to go back.

 

[blame space]

idk she's playing secretary with his balls, managing them. isn't it just after a line about him getting head on an airplane? it's his accent.

the production on this album is insane.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Daft Punk helped with Yeezus? I didn't know that.

Yep, did production on On Sight and Black Skinhead.


That reminds me, the SNL performance of Black Skinhead was mesmerizing to watch happening live.

 

[thequickandthedead]

graduation is more than the sum of its parts if you listen to it all the way through. the only bad song is drunk and hot girls.

"Ah da da da da." That's how the fuck you sound

 

[blame space]

do you even remember what the issue is?
you just trying to find where the tissue is
you can still be who you wish you is
it ain't happen yet, and that's what intuition is

that flow

 

[blame space]

even when you heard Kanye did a song with t-pain you weren't prepared for "good life".

 

[LionPride]

even when you heard Kanye did a song with t-pain you weren't prepared for "good life".

I actually don't like Good Life

But Champion, Stronger, into I Wonder?


WHEW

 

[dafinezt]

The Glory is secretly the best track on the album

 

[blame space]

that feud with 50 and reusing his own line in the song was something special.

 

[Bread]

even when you heard Kanye did a song with t-pain you weren't prepared for "good life".

i remember watching entourage just to get that Good Life snippet during the credits

ya

that's the only reason i was watching entourage, i swear.

 

[thequickandthedead]

Big Brother is easily the worst song on the album. I can't listen to it without cringing.

 

[HotHamBoy]

How can you have such terrible opinions on everything?

That's the cynicism that comes from critical thinking.

 

[hughesta]

as a huge Kanye fan I gotta say I've never been huge on this track. Legendary all the same, though.

 

[LionPride]

Big Brother is fine

Champion is great

So is Flashing Lighta

Graduation isn't bad, but it has Kanye's worst songs on it

 

[Bread]

I Wonder is the true hidden classic on Graduation

And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's why I'm
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hotlines
Why he keep giving me hot lines?
I'm a star, how could I not shine?

that part with the music build up is so good

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Everything I am is a chill track, I like it.

 

[blame space]

yes.

OK I just got to drunk and hot girls. first time in at least a year. let's see how it goes.

 

[hughesta]

Flashing Lights is the best song on Graduation, the production is unreal.

 

[Armaly]

Around the time this song dropped I was staying at Wildwood, NJ for the summer. All the boardwalk stores were bumping this nonstop and selling bootleg shutter shades.

 

[Rktk]

The Daft Punk track is what makes it.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Eh. I like the Daft Punk original better. Especially with the hand video playing.

Yup..

 

[Bread]

yes.

OK I just got to drunk and hot girls. first time in at least a year. let's see how it goes.

that song didn't age well either lol

it's so bad

 

[timshundo]

I thought this was going to be about the Britney song.

NOT the only one for sure (17 years!!!)

 

[Brandwin]

Prefer several other songs on the album over this one to be honest.

Same. I do not feel like Stronger is even close to being in Kanye's top 10.

 

[blame space]

drunk and hot girls is still garbage but it kind of works as an intro to flashing lights, the best song on the album.

omg when he says "ya want a brewsky?"

 

[timshundo]

Agreed. Iconic video too.

 

[jokkir]

Stronger was garbage. Late Registration and College Dropout still best

 

[hughesta]

I like Drunk and Hot Girls just because of Kanye's delivery on it.

Graduation still his worst album overall but no one can deny how huge it was

 

[blame space]

have we discussed the line "I hate these niggas more than a Nazi"?

does he hate these dudes more than he hates Nazis or more than a Nazi hates black people?

 

[PillarEN]

Yes sir this song is dope. Wouldn't mind someone bumping this for the 10 year anniversary of Flashing Lights on November 12th. Not only is that maybe my favorite Yeezy song, but I also have fond memories of getting excited when it played on one of the radio stations in GTA4 (which I played through twice despite the backlash it received).

 

[Bread]

have we discussed the line "I hate these niggas more than a Nazi"?

i always heard it as the latter

 

[shoelacer]

I too have puzzled over this for many years. A testament to ye's entendre game

 

[torre_avenue]

I think it's supposed to be the second one.

 

[blame space]

🤔

 

[The Driver]

yes.

OK I just got to drunk and hot girls. first time in at least a year. let's see how it goes.

Honestly, it's a corny song with terrible lyrics but it's fun in a stupid way.

The "rarararara that's how the fuck you sound" line gets screamed all the time in my group when we are out drinking.

 

[killertofu]

The summer before my senior year of High School. I was so hyped about the Daft Punk collab. All I remember that summer was jamming to this and Justice and watching Death Note and studying for the SAT.

Good times.

 

[Bronx-Man]

it's one of them double-aunt-andre's

 

[blame space]

🤔

can we do another thread about 808s

 

[rec0ded1]

Kanye getting credit for this is madness. This is daft punk all day errday. Sample isn't even used that well and it carries the song. Other tracks are better on that album.

 

[The Driver]

🤔

That's a Cudi album, not Kanye tho 🤔

 

[jon bones]

this was a real anthem post-college

🤔

can we do another thread about 808s

yoo please

 

[shoelacer]

Kanye getting credit for this is madness. This is daft punk all day errday.

If Stronger is all Daft Punk, Technologic is all Edwin Birdsong
