4.0 out of 5 stars Kanye and Jamie are Professors in the Music Era of 2day, February 5, 2006
what do you expose? They're the best out there. They're like to be describe as Geniuses, but people with alot of hard work and credit. Happy 'Ye (which I call him for short) and Jamie Foxx are going home with the Grammy in they hand at the Grammys Wednesday Night (Feb 8). Looks like it's gonna be better, postive and very strong since last year and the year before 2005.

This is my favorite song to date of 2005 alongside "Ordinary People" by John Legend, "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent, "Go" by Common, "Touch" by Omarion, need I say more?

This shows Jamie Foxx and Kanye were they heading thru they careers. I got mad love for 'em. This song features a sample from the Ray Soundtrack (the movie was fantastic), "I Got a Woman" (that's a bad song!!!) and it incls. well hip hop beats produced by Kanye. Wish I coulda co-produce the track with him, that would've been more exciting. What if I add horns to the top for this track. That is me playing, me arranging, me doing most the other stuff? MisterMaxxx, nice try. Try to stay cool. Your review was real ok. Try to dig deeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Hip-hop Hit with deep touches of Blues Music, March 18, 2006
I believe this song is the starting point of a new direction for hip-hop music (read title).

Song structure breakdown:
1) Rap by Kanye West.
2) Singing (in blues style) by Jamie Foxx.
3) A very heavy but simple beat.

The lyrics of the rap segment describes/speaks of the problem in the relationship. The singing expresses the woes/disappointment. Jamie Foxx his singing is inspired by Ray Charles. The beats increases the intensity of the music.

This "fusion" is a very daring attempt from Kanye West that needs to be praised. The song is produced minimalist in nature. However, it is able to deliver a strong emotional message about a man's woes of a woman of the namesake.

Looking forward to more of such music from him. A master of hip-hop at his creative best.
