Almost two decades have passed and this song still gives me good vibes. The 2000s were a golden age for Kanye, in my opinion. his samples and his verses sounded so clean, it's a shame some of them are so underrated, but it's good to know that after two decades good people still listen to good music and that this man (Kanye) still sounds like wine. 🐐🤎

He's greater now, you're a fake fan for not following or respecting an artist's growth. You'll learn though eventually

Crazy people consider Kanye one of if not the greatest producer ever and NEVER heard some of his greatest works of art. A sign of a true legend. This is one of my favorite beats/songs and it's completely hidden because of the sheer amount of stuff this man has created.

a sound like this is considered aesthetic now... what a dope track

This is music at a beautiful tone, the beat is so smooth and relaxing, but makes you wanna get up and dance, and the lyrics match the flow. The video is beautiful showing women around the U.S.A is beautiful no matter where they’re from. Kanye looks so much at himself in this and young John Legend is so smooth.
