All 3 songs on this single disc import are great

1.Album Version of Gold Digger, Jamie Foxx does a great job with the chorus, adds a bluesy feeling to it
2.Diamonds from Sierra Leone Remix feat. Jay-Z
3.We can make it better Feat.Talib Kweli- Has a slower beat to it
Disk includes a free real tone

Kanye seems to have a big ego but he can live up to the hype, he seems to be one of the most talented rappers out there now

Overall, a good CD Single, Recomended

To me, Gold Digger is a pretty, well, unexpected type of song. Like, you would never expect anyone to come out and write a song about this. Kind of like the "My Humps" song. You start to wonder how artists even came up with these types of song, but it doesn't matter, because the background music is enough to make you want to hear it over and over again and you find yourself humming it while shopping or buying it as a ringtone.

This song is a great dance song. For those nights where you're just hanging out with friends and not really listening to the lyrics of the song, then this is your perfect jam-out tune. But if you actually sit down and listen to the words, you will like the song even more. From Jamie Foxx's crazy back-up voice singing something along the lines of, "She take my money, when I'm in need!" to Kanye West's perfect example of a high maintenance "Gold Digger," this song will definitely make you laugh, and kind of end with a "Huh?"

When you listen to it, you will definitely see why it is such a hit and still being played over and over again on the radio today.

...but if I could I would.


Now for all of you saying that it's not a smart move for Jamie Foxx to sing like Ray Charles on this single maybe it is, maybe it isn't but you should know that the reason that he did it is because Kanye West said that when he originally wrote the song he wanted to ask the ORIGINAL Ray Charles to sing the part that Jamie Foxx sang, but you all know what happened next. Ray died.
I think it was a good idea for Kanye to ask Jamie Foxx to sing the song and in light of all his recent success in the movie Ray to sing it like him. The song is fun and somewhat true.

the video is cool,but the song just seems like a Desperate attempt at keeping a Radio friendly song by Kayne West.also not a smart move by Jamie Foxx who while it was a Great Performance in the Movie Ray based on the Life of Ray charles,doing a take on "I Got a Woman" on this Song ain't exactly a smart move at making your own Musical Idenity as a Solo Artist."Gold Digger"is a long ago played term,but it seems to work.

. . . and tell Jamie Foxx that he is NOT Ray Charles. Maybe if "Gold Digger" was on the "Ray" soundtrack that came out in 2004, then it would be acceptable. But it's 2005 and if it's gotten to the point that you think you're Ray Charles, then that's a problem. 'Ray' was a good movie and Jamie Foxx won an Oscar for it, but it's time to keep it real and move on. Anyway, "Gold Digger" is the only decent track on "Late Registration." Let this song be a warning to all of you guys out there.

I thought I would be offended by this song but I actually really liked it! I loved the cheeky off the wall video with the magazine backgrounds and the pretty girls strutting their stuff along with two good looking dudes who want to show the world that they know what they are talking about.

I loved the lyrics as well, totally tongue in cheek and Kanye West sure knows how to belt out a rap come song and Jaime FOXX gave it his all along with the many pretty dancers who sure knew how to flaunt their stuff!

This is a naughty and sometimes rude song but you can't say it is not fun, because it is, and it gets a solid four out of five from me based on this alone.
