    Great song. I've only listened twice, but it gets an 8/10 for me at this point.

    Very excited to see where this song fits contextually into the album. I think that alone could bump it up 1-2 points, Kanye is the king of album cohesion.

    I'm talking musically as well, not just referring to the lyrics. Im not even referring to kanye's singing for that matter - the production/instrumentation is phenominal

    9.5, only thing holding it back is a little too much autotune. GREAT song though

    Kanye's fan base is Eminem level obsessive and put an awful lot of stock into whatever he does. I mean, if they knew half as much about RZA as Kanye, they'd probably find his early production a lot less creative. This is how I feel about it.

    Didn't mean to be presumptive. Trying to quell the circle jerk is all.

    8/10 for now I'll come back after I give it extended spins.

    The concept was great and I always will love meaningful music that comes straight from the heart, something Kanye is legendary for. It didn't really stick to me like Hey Mama did tho.

    I meant the same quality as solid track on 808, not that the whole album is 7.

    Finally got a listen. I'd give it a 7. It's great and emotional and I love that 808s style but the track is still lacking for me a little bit. Just feel like there could be a bit more going on and there isn't. Also the outro kinda drags on imo.
