As a true Kanye fan I heard this before he re-released it. I always loved this version better. So much soul!... I don't like when people say they want the old Ye back. I just want him to be himself. He always inspires me and my music. Jewelz Finazzo will always be grateful to Kanye West. Had posters of him on my wall before I even knew he was a rapper (Old Source Magazine pics from when he surfaced as one of the producers of the Roc).
