First single from Kanye's new album, set to drop in December! He's debuting this at the VMAs tomorrow, as the closing performance!

I doubt it will top Stronger in terms of overall production. But then again, Jockin' Jay-Z is pretty good, and he's supposedly producing Beyonce's new foward thinking "pop" styled single. I just hope it's none of his usual old soul song samplin' ways

This is really interesting. I'll wait to hear the HQ Studio versio to make my mind up over this though.

Oh plz, at least my opinions don't solely revolve around whether it has a "good melody" or not.

I was talking to a black person today about this, and he says he hates it - he says Kanye is trying to hard to be white now. Doing all this edgy electronica may be "cutting edge" but its forgetting what he's supposed to be - a rapper. Though I'm mainly annoyed by the fact that the chorus is virtually non-existant.

^ i agree 100%
his signature "sound" are his ridiculous words/flow and his catchy as hell hooks! and basically he does neither of them in this song...
its disappointing...

Well I think Kanye has always had white appeal. He was always the token rapper that every hipster had in their collection, always got critical respect from the Grammys and the music magazines, and did not dress in an urban fashion. He even went on tour with U2 before. So in that sense, I think he is acting as "white" as he was before. And I think everyone saw this coming anyway. He already did electronic stuff last time. The next step was to be "edge" and "avant garde"

The next step was to be "edge" and "avant garde" You can be avante garde and good. This is just bad. I can see why he's done this from an artistic standpoint - he's furthering the electronic elements he had in Stronger. This is pushing the boundaries of hip hop, but this version - it may not be final one - is messy. It needs a good bit of polishing before it sounds good. This song could still be edgy but a whole lot better - most noteably in the chorus.
