Does this song remind anybody else of Wyclef Jean's "Peace God"?
I like the beat and the overall sound of this song, and I'll admit that I couldn't get it out of my head today on campus, but the lyrics are just dumb.
From how he talks, you can't tell if Kanye is for or against the Greek system. The closest he gets to making a stand on the whole Greek issue is when he says, "And I ain't even pledge"...but before he extrapolates on why he didn't pledge, he goes off topic again with, "Crack my head on the steering wheel and I ain't even dead." Alright, Kanye, you were in a major car accident, we got that...but what does it have to do with the topic of this song? I suspect absolutely nothing.
This song doesn't really seem to express any school spirit, or really even any ironic co-opting of the concept of school spirit for subversive effect (as the two School Spirit skits would suggest there would be.)
As with much of Kanye's music, the sound is solid, but the rapping is poor. I hope he can fix that for his next album, but I'm not holding my breath.
