Oh yeah COLOURS the song was the shit, great Pimp C verse and Weezy in that 2006-2007 stretch where he killed everything. Prob for the best that Ye stayed off that one.

oh shit, tracee ellis ross is Fifi LeBeouff in that Workout Plan video; must've blocked that

Workout Plan to me always sounded like Kanye West trying to make an Eminem song.
― MarkoP, Sunday, 4 January 2015 18:58 (nine years ago) link
Or was that a pretty common criticism of the song at that time?
― MarkoP, Sunday, 4 January 2015 19:02 (nine years ago) link
Now that you mention it the "it's been a week without me" chorus does sound a lot like Slim.
― quan voice (voodoo chili), Sunday, 4 January 2015 19:22 (nine years ago) link
holy cow that sounds like a (post-greatness) eminem song. actually sounds like D12 more than anything. awful

Who are the people making these claims? Was there a printed piece about it? Tweets?

Shades of Grammy night "Who is Arcade Fire," except broadened to include every doofus on twitter, which probably skews young (and doofus), anyway.

No, I was asking who are the people making the claims that those who don't know who PM is are ignorant.

lol Workout Plan was the song/video that sold me on Kanye tbh. was it really so bad and hated?
― Οὖτις, Monday, 5 January 2015 19:19 (nine years ago) link
I think the song is funny. It was my wife's fave from the album, iirc.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 5 January 2015 19:35 (nine years ago) link
Now that it's mentioned, it is really Eminem-esque, isn't it?

I was just under the impression that a lot of the Twitter comments were jokes because I have a hard time believing that there are people out there who listened to that track and thought "Man, that guy playing the piano in the background of this song is going to blow up huge. I'm going to go on Twitter to find out who he is, instead of Googling it". It just doesn't feel like the type of song where his contributions stand out enough to warrant a comment like that sincerely. And do people usually make comments about that for people that are actually unknown? I don't pay enough attention to social media to know if people thought Mr Hudson was going to blow up huge circa 808s and Heartbreaks.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 6 January 2015 22:25 (nine years ago) link
lol i'd wager that most of them were jokes. some were actual young person dumbness im sure, and well, who cares about that. the indignance stemmed from ppl either not getting the jokes or being offended that filthy rap loving millennials were daring to joke about his OBE twatness macca
― i'm tellin you it was kenard (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 6 January 2015 22:31 (nine years ago) link
I def had that feeling Kanye was going to blow up huge after 808s and Heartbreaks.

yeesh if Post Malone is supposed to be an interesting element

"wolves" sounded like a not-very-good version of a modern kanye song, this one sounds more to me like something you would write explicitly for a runway show or smoething
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 September 2015 19:29 (eight years ago) link
on the bright side "Wolves" has still never been released all these months later so maybe this won't either
― some dude, Thursday, 17 September 2015 19:32 (eight years ago) link
yeah & at least w/ this one they didn't like say which track number it was going to be on his album
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 September 2015 19:41 (eight years ago) link
i didn't say i liked the song! only heard it once before it got pulled!but as far as i could tell, the kanye vocals were the least interesting element.
― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 September 2015 19:44 (eight years ago) link
when is this album suppose to drop anyway

If Kanye's bringing classic Chicago House back into the mainstream I'm not mad at all.

It's classic New York house, it couldn't be more back in the mainstream, in Britain at least, and Deep Inside in particular seems to be everywhere right now.
