Fourth single off Graduation and is currently the greatest gainer on both Rhythmic and Urban radio. Looks like the singles from this album are doing much better than the singles from the last album.
Anyways, I love this song, another hot single from Kanye.

There is no filler on this album. I already give it a 4.5 out of 5.
But he keeps releasing the songs I consider to be from the weaker half of the album. "I Wonder" is easily the best song on the album, in my opinion. "Homecoming" (featuring Chris Martin) is my next favorite song that isn't a single already. "Big Brother" (about Jay-Z) is tremendous, but would never be a single. "Good Morning," "Everything I Am," and "Champion" I would place ahead of both "Good Life" and "Flashing Lights."

I'm just glad that he gave up with the skits this time around, haha... but I still think overall Late Registration was a better album. Not even counting the singles, songs like "Roses", "Hey Mama" and "We Major" were better than most of the songs on Graduation.
I too think "Homecoming" is my next favourite song. But knowing Chris Martin, they'll probably have trouble releasing it as a single due to pressure from his record label. "I Wonder" is not single material considering the first two verses are hardly verses. "Good Morning", "Everything I Am" and "Big Brother" aren't single material either. I don't know, while I agree with you that some of those songs not released as singles may be better, I think I actually agree with the single choices this time around.
I'm disappointed "Bittersweet Poetry" (featuring John Mayer) was left off the album (again) and was used as an International bonus track. It would easily be in the better half of the album.

My 3rd favorite song on the album behind "Stronger" and "I Wonder", so I'm pleased to see this doing well so far.

I guess I spoke too soon, for pop at least.  It's doing well enough on Rhythmic and Urban, but it doesn't look like the longevity will be too impressive on either format. |

I finally saw the video at a friend's house last week. And I knew it was going to be odd, but it still caught me completely off-guard.
Everything's in slow motion, there's no performance at all, This girl in the desert, spilling out of her lingerie, lights her coat on fire and then proceeds to beat a bound and gagged Kanye to death with a shovel in the trunk of her car. And it's not even the full song! It stops the song before 3 minutes are even up! I mean I've heard of shortening songs for radio or video play, but just stopping a song that would ordinarily fall into a reasonable time frame? (Hell, Kanye could get away with a 9-minute video if he wanted to.) I've never heard of that before.
After it was over I said, "Wait, that's it?? What the f*** was that?!" I checked online today to make sure that was the full video and that nothing too extreme had been cut from the TV broadcast. No. Exactly the same. Then I read it was co-directed by Spike Jonze, which explained things a little. It's so unconventional for a hip hop video that it's amazing. Hats off to Kanye for making a video that unorthodox.
I haven't even made my Top Music Videos of 2007 list yet, but the alternate version of "Can't Tell Me Nothing" is surely in the Top 5. And he's done it again. This will surely be in the Top 5 or 10 for 2008.
