Classic Kanye, not a classic rap song by any means any time soon. Sorry kids, that's not how it works.

[@MrBibbityBop]

This song is one of Kanye's best. The groovy guitar in the background and the lyrics are his best ever perhaps. The way every line just rolls off the tongue and each one of them is great, there's not a bad or mediocre lyric in the whole song, just firecrackers.

[@MrBibbityBop]

Is hip hop just a euphemism for a new religion? The soul music of the slaves that the youth is missing

[@LawTheStryker]

Hip-hop is a culture. No euphemisms needed.

[@mtl876]

LawTheStryker it can be whatever anyone wants it to be. It's all ambiguous and open for interpretation.

[@LawTheStryker]

Pattyy2 No its not ambiguous. The forefathers of hip-hop told us exactly what it was. It's a culture. A movement. We don't need anymore blurred lines causing confusion just because people on the outside looking in want to weigh in. If Chuck, KRS, Cube, Rakim, KooI Herc, Nas, Bambataa and Melly Mel are calling it one thing, it would be ignorant to call it something else.

[@cooljeb3]

It's a great line... Clearly, he's not arguing against the merits of Hip Hop as a cultural phenomena. That's obvious & literal... The metaphor (& hence the aspect that makes it open for interpretation) is the idea that Hip Hop as a form of expression addresses existential concerns - about the shit we believe & desire; about our dilemmas, about the shit we "worship." So, he frames it up as a question in that context... Hell, America is country but, beyond the literal, for some it's an "ideal," too... Anyway, it's a cold-ass line from a mf that's thinking on another level. I didn't know the dude was that dope...

An artistic masterpiece of an album that tells a story about the beauty and dangers of fame and love presented in amazing ways with extremely realistic musical elements with pianos and orchestral sounds, and amazing usage of sampling small elements of some know/unknown 1960’s, 1970’s & early 1980’s old school songs to make something completely original. Also extraordinary mature subject matter used very well lyrically throughout the album. Whether you like Kanye or not this thing is thing is a masterpiece that won’t be forgotten.

[@BADMusicLTD]

Not really. I like his verse on its own but to me it seems to go against the whole theme of the song and what Kanye is saying so potently about racial inequality and how he thinks black people have been socially conditioned to act in a certain way. Raekwon follows up meaningful lines such as 'Inner century anthems based off inner city tantrums based off the way we were branded' with generic lines like 'I done copped Timbs lived in lenses, Armani Suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots and Benzes'. This comes across as ignorant and out of touch with the overall message of the song.
