Honestly all I can say is WOW. I’m not a big fan of Kanye, but I am a fan of his music. He’s a special, once in a generation, talent. Lyrically i could care less…but this guy’s overall music production talent is Mozart like…
G.O.O.D Music in yo Cypher!!! Wow… Ye got clout with major artists. Seems like everyone stopped by the studio and he got them to lay down the chorus for this specific track. He had to have foreseen this coming. Anxious to hear the final version of the album.
Wow! Lik i must admit i used 2 dis like Kanye but i gotta say dis is real hip-hop..naw fuck dat dis is real music ..(but still its g-unit bitch hfm2 nov 22)!!
This was produced really well, everyone knows Kanye can produce well, but as far as lyrical content, or even Kanye’s skill or flow for that matter, it’s very mediocre track.
if u listen to the leak one with drake it cleary says this one’s for drake at the beginning…so it could possibly end up on drake’s new mixtape coming out in December or his next album don’t really know…
Actually the version you guys are talking about said “This version is for Drake.” Kanye clearly sent him a reference track a while ago and decided Drake wasn’t right for the song.
not just amazing hip-hop amazing music, period. This is the next single i rekn at the Grammys this gona be one of them classic performances.
G.O.O.D MUSIC BABY!!!!!
ps- i could identify the dream or ryan leslie on the track??? mayb this isnt the final version i remember ‘ye tweeting that he did 30+ mixes of the song. any one of them could have leaked
Phenomenal track, however; I don’t hear 12 artists in there. How can he justify all of those? Elton John…really? Is he the one playing piano at the end?
Kanye West – stop killing Hip Hop. You can’t rap and you’re not a rock star. You will never be forgiven for that Justin Beiber/Wu Tang remix you made. NEVER!
I like the song, but i definitely can’t hear every artist. Is that Legend or Tony Williams singing before the Alicia Keys/charlie wilson part? Whoever it is where’s the other person? and where’s ryan leslie at? is that the dream singing for all of 0.5 seconds at the end?
Good song but stop making music for the other side Kanye. The shit is getting real obvious especially with your movie “Runaway” Only folks who can’t tell what that movie represents are those who don’t read and educate themselves on other aspects of this world.
You been on an extra downward spiral since your mother passed. Come back to the RIGHT side!!!
Am I going to be the only one not to juggle ‘Ye’s balls in my mouth? Overrated and Egotistical. I thought Power was a work of art in its video and sound but this is just messy; like many posse cuts its just a case of who can I get on my new track. Yes, you can pull some amazing artists together but have you not heard of the saying “Too many Chef’s ruin a Broth”. Sorry but this is a load of self-indulgent shit and extremely disappointing.
I think I know who’s singing what parts. It’s definitely two people singing at a time panned hard left and hard right. I don’t know where the dream is though.
This Song, Dark Fantasy, Power, Runaway, Monster, Devil in a New Dress, So Appalled, and a couple of others i have heard, make this Album at least a 4 out of 5 before its even released on the 22nd! And that’s Better the 90% of the Albums this Year! With that being said, that makes it a Definate Buy at the Store, because if you don’t Support Good Music, don’t Complain when Artist like Waka Flocka and Soulja Boy are the Only Artists Left because of the lack of Album sales!
You people here are so brainwashed. It’s always hating when you don’t like the average conventional bullshit. Many fans here, like Kanye, show no depth or insight into anything beyond what is shoveled in your gullets. There is nothing special about this song, or Kanye for that matter. This is for fans of pop music who follow fading trends. The brainwashing has gotten to the point to where you don’t even realize the good from the bad. Fortunately this does not represent the best that Hiphop has to offer. Hiphop is alive and well despite the kids on this site born in the 90’s who don’t know shit about this culture or those of my generation who failed at understanding Hiphop, sold out and are 40 plus still bumping Gucci and Waka in their cars. No one’s hating on Kanye, there’s just nothing different going on.
Agreed. There are so many fad-jumpers in hiphop nowadays it’s harder than ever for anyone to get GOOD music out and heard. Wow, Kanye said he’s doing classics and it’s Picasso-like and everyone is all over him like Herpes. No sense of individual tastes anymore, an amalgamation of artists forced down your ears by big corporations. MTV has 8 artists on its rotation and Kanye has put all of them on one album, wow, that’s not impressive music, it’s impressive marketing skills. So and so is on such a record with…oh really, well that ish must be hot then. He tries to compare himself as a trendsetter and barrier breaker in the same vein as Radiohead and Bjork but he isn’t. Lets hear some stripped back ish Kanye, let’s hear beats and you instead of filling your ish with artists that ‘everyone wants to hear’. The album will sell well but in a world where Justin Bieber sells well it doesn’t mean you have music to be proud off.
Because you’re so knowledgeable in it. So why don’t we see you making a career out of it? I’m not even talking about rapping. But there’s many people who can cover hip-hop, write about it, etc. Yet we don’t see you anywhere.
It’s not that you’re a hater, and it’s also not that we’re dickriders. You’re just a dumb fucking elitist who thinks you’re better because you listen to the shit from the 90s. It’s 2010, it’s 20 years later, music changes. Get the fuck over it.
It’s cool if you still can bump Big L, but if we want to listen to this, that doesn’t make you better than us. That just makes you a dick stuck in the past.
These have to be the two silliest comments I’ve seen on this site ever. First off who exactly is Kanye copying? Those other rappers getting mtv bet and vh1 to shut down for an hour to watch an art film he directed? There is a different between trying to make the best hip-hop music and making music that can touch as many people as possible. Did you not hear kanye over Pete Rock friday? Ye must be riding that huge mainstream pete rock obsession… or maybe he’s selling out by doing beats w/ Rza… and Madlib… Dude was just on the radio talkin bout the feeling Joell Ortiz gives him, same as Pusha T. Do the math homie, appreciate the free gifts that you recieve, and keep your unfounded negativity to yourself.
KISS METHOD- KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!! Sorry but this get 3/5 due to its erroneous features. U don’t need them and they dont add SHIT to the song to be honest. Lol funny part is the 1st snippet with only drake kanye and whoever was on the original hook was WAAAAAY better despite Drake rappin completely off topic n got cut off mid verse… SMH dropped da ball but the mix is alot cleaner… Cons out weighin da Pros on this one fellaz… Don’t ride da balls n give constructive critique… KISS METHOD
This shit has gotten ridiculous. I’m tired of this ‘we are the world’ shit. It’s not even necessary to have all these motherfuckers on this song. It’s overkill. Nigga just make a beat, write a rhyme for it, and get in the booth and knock it out. He had Elton John in the lab and this is what he came up with it? This shit is whack. It’s like he wants everyone to know how many friends he has or somethin’. Kanye just strikes me as a very insecure guy who’s always trying to convince everyone that he’s no insecure.
Can’t disagree with you,theres never a reason to put all these people on one 5:00 minute track,Rihanna,Kid Cudi,Drake and maybe even Fergie on the song wouldve been fine
“Victory Lap” feat. Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Special Ed, Buju Banton, David Hasselhoff, Zack Morris, Mike Tyson, Celine Dion, Hulk Hogan, Jamiroquai, Barack Obama, Grady from Sanford and Son, Tito Jackson, Joey Gladstone, Bart Simpson, Kid-N-Play, Jay-Z, Vanilli, Pharell, Martha Stewart, Gerardo, and the astronaut lady that drove across the country with a diaper on.
I know other artist did this too but common had a little bit better cuz at least u can figure out which one which, on this it’s hard to tell, only a few stuck out tho.
Boooooooooooo. Why in the fuck would you axe Drizzy? I TRULY believe that adding a faggot, Elton John, and a bunch of unneeded singers doesn’t make it a better song. Really upset about this honestly was my favorite song on the album until now.
Let’s get real. Sure elton john is gay but you cant doubt that dudes talent. he is way more talented than drake will ever be. i TRULY believe that you dont know what good music is. Also no one gives a fuck that you’re upset
Elton John may be gay, but Drake is more of a faggot than he’ll ever be. By the way, you’re a punk ass idiot. You don’t know shit about music or about life, and all it took was a couple sentences out of your mouth to make that glaringly obvious. Elton John is a musical legend. What the fuck have you done?
I wouldnt say I’d listen to elton john music all day. But c’mon, dudes a legend. He’s had more experience with music and generally life (considering him being gay, and many other reasons). He’s got more musical insperation than drake has in the hand he jerks of with

Taylor Swift sold over a million. Kanye West sucks…. the only real musicians are Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber who are the only non-illuminati singers.
seriously dude, give this illuminati bullshit a break…I’m fucking so sick of hearing about it. Who gives a fuck one way or the other. I dont give a shit if Jay-Z was the actual DEVIL, I dont care!!!!!
Song sucks,Kanye- 2 verses,could barely here cudi or anyone else smh but i expected it to be garbage…album is disappointing,you’d expect an album with RZA and Raekwon as guest features to be good,but of course not true. Kanye has some good verses but he doesnt step it up at all and honsetly wth is with him and not using his actual voice,no autotune on this,no he used something even worse
I completely agree with the Voice altering shit, i dont understand why he continues to go with it when clearly the best sound he ever had was on Late Registration and The Dropout, 2 albums where he didn’t once use autotune.
It’s always somethin goin on but check me out on youtube THE GUITAR PLAYER FOR THIS DAY AND AGE. MANY ARTISTS USING LIVE BANDS NOW SO CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE BRYANTC1000. CAN PLAY ON ANY BEAT OR FOR ANY ARTIST. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bryantc1000&aq=f
DC MARYALND VIRGINIA ALL DAY!! I wanna be seen and heard by the right ppl ALL AROUND and get some work in,collab, tour ect.
Get @ me leaving.carter@gmail.com
f u guys its just musik and people just needs to listen to the whole sound not the attitude of person who made it….dang sum pips are stooopid…. cant help them..
i know its a good song when i close my eyes and just boop……. on a public wifi hot spot then get up and throw the earbuds down and say that shit wasnt fair to other niggas
People don’t understand. Kanye does MUSIC now, not just hip hop. He has the pull in the industry to craft songs exactly the way he thinks they should sound as an artist. The only other people in history that could pull this off are MJ, Stevie, Frank Sinatra and other justifiable legends. Too many features for my taste but the song is great and I give props to a legend in the making. RESPECT!!!
I pray to freaking God that this isn’t the final version of this song…This track absolutely PLUMMETS after Kanye’s 2nd verse ends…I’ve never heard a song that was so good in the first half and so terrible in the 2nd one…
I LOVE….Chocalate, mustard, ice cream, lasagna, iced tea, and piña colada yoghurt…..,but for some reason it doesn’t taste as good when you mash them all together.
What a coincidence, because that’s exactly what’s not going on here! That’s a terrible metaphor, because for one, food can’t be compared to music.
And two, if you insist on this stupid ass metaphor, when you use each ingredient correctly, i.e a dash of Elton’s piano, a layer of Keys’ vocals, you get a deliciously awesome track.
there is no G.O.O.D. Friday Version. This isn’t the real album version either. It’s funny how 4 different versions of each song have leaked and none of them are correct. only rapper I know that has different versions like Sublime.
Fergies line meant alot to me but that is only due to the fact I know her history before B.E.P. (Wild Orchid) when she had a meth addiction..so with that knowledge when she says “Unemployment line, credit card declined/ did I not mention I was about to lose my mind?/ (my mind, my mind, my mind)/
and also was about to do that line?/” I understand where she is coming from and appreciate the energy and dedication to the concept of the song from her. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP FERGIE!!
only heard Kanye, John Legend (backing vocals only), Ryan Leslie, Alicia Keys, Fergie (worst part on the song tho), Kid Cudi, Elton John (on piano) & Rihanna.
didnt hear the-dream, charlie wilson, tony williams and elly jackson although i hv no clue how tony n elly’s voices sound like
Fergies line meant alot to me but that is only due to the fact I know her history before B.E.P. (Wild Orchid) when she had a meth addiction..so with that knowledge when she says “Unemployment line, credit card declined/ did I not mention I was about to lose my mind?/ (my mind, my mind, my mind)/

This song fits Fergie. They blend her vocals with Rihanna at the beginning.
I think the final version will feature Fergie since she has a verse. Not a fan per se but she fits it musically.
I think Ye just had everyone lay down a track and will decide what to do later!
Amazing! I can hear everyone but John Legend and I’m not fimiliar with Elly Jackson’s voice. I like the way he implemented Dream when you hear him say “lghts,lights,lights”
shit got like a bajillion artist on it
yo r u tired of bullshit hiphop songs u cant relate to?? like bentleys private jets n bullshit?
check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxEtfs36qpg
You know, I was singing up that ‘all of the lights’ refrain… can I be on the remix, Kanye?
Kidding. I’d end up doing something stupid to Rihanna in the processes…but I’m digging it, but we need Cudi gone. I would rather have had Drake. Or may I say it, Jay?!?
first bitches !
wow this is a hit kanye
first
This right here is a masterpiece…. Kanye has true talent as an artist/producer
PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS TOO INSANE, YEEZY IS BACK
Honestly all I can say is WOW. I’m not a big fan of Kanye, but I am a fan of his music. He’s a special, once in a generation, talent. Lyrically i could care less…but this guy’s overall music production talent is Mozart like…
The part with Fergie and Rihanna is insane. This song is just insane
yeah say sumtin about ye’s musical talent now BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Heart it
Greatest all around ARTIST of all time

G.O.O.D Music in yo Cypher!!! Wow… Ye got clout with major artists. Seems like everyone stopped by the studio and he got them to lay down the chorus for this specific track. He had to have foreseen this coming. Anxious to hear the final version of the album.
lol everybody but drake. wasent he on one of the leaked versions?
Song is classic, but who sings what?!?!?!
Great song. Kanye’s music has seriously sucked since College Dropout. But the music hes been coming out with now is actually decent. Good Looks, ‘Ye

this is just beautiful. ye needs to release it as a single on itunes now
Sick track! Guys let’s support Kanye November 22nd.
ill as hell. but why the hell is fergie on it?
why is kanye so fucking good
This was produced really well, everyone knows Kanye can produce well, but as far as lyrical content, or even Kanye’s skill or flow for that matter, it’s very mediocre track.
then again what the hell does your opinion matter?? Dumb ass
Mediocre? Really? What kind of fucked up shit are you listening to that you’re somehow convinced it is superior to this? This is good music.
can someone please tell me why Drake isn’t on this
if u listen to the leak one with drake it cleary says this one’s for drake at the beginning…so it could possibly end up on drake’s new mixtape coming out in December or his next album don’t really know…
Sure… he’s not on it because who gives a shit. It’s great the way it is.
kanye can add and remove whomever he wants to his liking. Ge the fuck over it.
“this one’s for drake” is a dj tag, idiot.
Actually the version you guys are talking about said “This version is for Drake.” Kanye clearly sent him a reference track a while ago and decided Drake wasn’t right for the song.
Drake is garbage and would ruin the song.
i love alicia keys’ part
i wonder if his album is gonna be all this — almost symphony — type of feel, like with 6 featured guests per song, that would be kind of dope
At least you guys aren’t leaking songs we haven’t heard … Yet
Some features dont make sense…like this one..smh come on Kanye its too many artist on this.
5 – cant wait for the cd
I designed a cover for the song – 12 fucking names lol…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uayey2PSGpA
MBDTF a mill in the first week.
FIIYAAAA
This shit is fire!!!!!!!!!
not just amazing hip-hop amazing music, period. This is the next single i rekn at the Grammys this gona be one of them classic performances.
G.O.O.D MUSIC BABY!!!!!
ps- i could identify the dream or ryan leslie on the track??? mayb this isnt the final version i remember ‘ye tweeting that he did 30+ mixes of the song. any one of them could have leaked
This shit is insane, Yeezy gonna murder the charts! Classic.
Phenomenal track, however; I don’t hear 12 artists in there. How can he justify all of those? Elton John…really? Is he the one playing piano at the end?
elton john is right at the end… his is the male voice that is kinda rough…
would be better with 3 good featurings..
Kanye West – stop killing Hip Hop. You can’t rap and you’re not a rock star. You will never be forgiven for that Justin Beiber/Wu Tang remix you made. NEVER!
can’t rap?
fucken idiot
fuck offfff
finally, i really fuckin hate much about kanye’s work. this is what the fucking going on hip hop is. fuck you
i think this will grow into becoming one of the best songs of our time…
I like the song, but i definitely can’t hear every artist. Is that Legend or Tony Williams singing before the Alicia Keys/charlie wilson part? Whoever it is where’s the other person? and where’s ryan leslie at? is that the dream singing for all of 0.5 seconds at the end?
13
fresh
what happened to drake? lol kanye was like u cant be on the greatest record of all time!!! (then kanye shrug x 100million)
good song, but kanye isnt really rapping.. and where is leslie or the dream?
i’ve had it on repeat since yesterday
Good song but stop making music for the other side Kanye. The shit is getting real obvious especially with your movie “Runaway” Only folks who can’t tell what that movie represents are those who don’t read and educate themselves on other aspects of this world.
You been on an extra downward spiral since your mother passed. Come back to the RIGHT side!!!
Classic Track, one of the all time greats of our generation….
lol fuck every hatin ass nigga yall should go choke on a wall of dicks.
Am I going to be the only one not to juggle ‘Ye’s balls in my mouth? Overrated and Egotistical. I thought Power was a work of art in its video and sound but this is just messy; like many posse cuts its just a case of who can I get on my new track. Yes, you can pull some amazing artists together but have you not heard of the saying “Too many Chef’s ruin a Broth”. Sorry but this is a load of self-indulgent shit and extremely disappointing.
Opinionated and egotistical. You could be friends with Kanye.
Perfection.
on repeat all day, a little mad that this was leaked, but i feel this is not the finished version!!!
kanye= #1
I LOVE THIS!
I think I know who’s singing what parts. It’s definitely two people singing at a time panned hard left and hard right. I don’t know where the dream is though.
Kanye can do no wrong
This Song, Dark Fantasy, Power, Runaway, Monster, Devil in a New Dress, So Appalled, and a couple of others i have heard, make this Album at least a 4 out of 5 before its even released on the 22nd!

i love it it’s an epic song. i would have love it more if rihanna was just on the hook. but it’s like an all star track so i get it.

Drake brought nothing to the song. fuck off

Lol funny part is the 1st snippet with only drake kanye and whoever was on the original hook was WAAAAAY better despite Drake rappin completely off topic n got cut off mid verse… SMH dropped da ball but the mix is alot cleaner… Cons out weighin da Pros on this one fellaz… Don’t ride da balls n give constructive critique… KISS METHOD
drake was never on the song…somebody on youtube edited him on the snippet..
One of the most amazing recording sessions we’ve had at this label, check it out

This shit has gotten ridiculous. I’m tired of this ‘we are the world’ shit. It’s not even necessary to have all these motherfuckers on this song. It’s overkill. Nigga just make a beat, write a rhyme for it, and get in the booth and knock it out. He had Elton John in the lab and this is what he came up with it? This shit is whack. It’s like he wants everyone to know how many friends he has or somethin’. Kanye just strikes me as a very insecure guy who’s always trying to convince everyone that he’s no insecure.
Can’t disagree with you,theres never a reason to put all these people on one 5:00 minute track,Rihanna,Kid Cudi,Drake and maybe even Fergie on the song wouldve been fine
waay to many featurings…it doesn’t work
THIS IS SICK, HOW’D HE DO IT? ELTON JOHN? FERGIE? I GUESS. 5/5
YEAH DRAKE WAS LAME ON THIS SHIT!!!
….drake wasnt on this.
kanye is the bestt
Stay tuned for his new song on Friday.
“Victory Lap” feat. Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Special Ed, Buju Banton, David Hasselhoff, Zack Morris, Mike Tyson, Celine Dion, Hulk Hogan, Jamiroquai, Barack Obama, Grady from Sanford and Son, Tito Jackson, Joey Gladstone, Bart Simpson, Kid-N-Play, Jay-Z, Vanilli, Pharell, Martha Stewart, Gerardo, and the astronaut lady that drove across the country with a diaper on.
hahahahaha
Lmfao!
LOL! this is the most random post i’ve ever read. made my day
Thats Pretty funny, But You Forgot To Mention A.C. Slater and Alf, They’re on the song too.
I know other artist did this too but common had a little bit better cuz at least u can figure out which one which, on this it’s hard to tell, only a few stuck out tho.
Not that good, gay.
this is BIG music…i like it…
ahhh it was ight
AMAZING…ESPECIALLY LIKE FERGIE VERSE, I KINDA HOPE SHE WOULD OF WENT IN A FULL 16 AT LEAST…BUT THIS A CELEBRATION 10/5
Way to good. 5/5
It’s pretty gud…not great…I give it a 4.
New J. Cole mixtape
‘Friday Night Lights’
November 12 2010
Oh yes better believe I’m datpiffin that. I’ve heard most of Kanye’s song off his new album, and lemme just say, his College Dropout years are gone.
BUT, why are niggas saying K.R.I.T is as good as or better than J. Cole? I listened to Woodgrain Soul and it was good, but ultimately boring to me.
A lot of the GOOD Friday releases work well with a bunch of featured artists, but theres no reason to have all those people on this boring-ass song.
u suck. go listen to jim jones or shyne
Boooooooooooo. Why in the fuck would you axe Drizzy? I TRULY believe that adding a faggot, Elton John, and a bunch of unneeded singers doesn’t make it a better song. Really upset about this honestly was my favorite song on the album until now.
Let’s get real. Sure elton john is gay but you cant doubt that dudes talent. he is way more talented than drake will ever be. i TRULY believe that you dont know what good music is. Also no one gives a fuck that you’re upset
Elton John may be gay, but Drake is more of a faggot than he’ll ever be. By the way, you’re a punk ass idiot. You don’t know shit about music or about life, and all it took was a couple sentences out of your mouth to make that glaringly obvious. Elton John is a musical legend. What the fuck have you done?
your offensive and a little shit head
I’d rather listen to Elton John than Drake.
y dont u all suck Elton Johns dick
I wouldnt say I’d listen to elton john music all day. But c’mon, dudes a legend. He’s had more experience with music and generally life (considering him being gay, and many other reasons). He’s got more musical insperation than drake has in the hand he jerks of with
IMO, leave all the females, and replace all the niggas wit LUPE FIASCO.. it would be an EPIC TRACK!!
Kanye: The most overrated rapper in the game.
this is how it goes from who sings what:
All of the lights (all of the lights)
(Lights, lights)
All of the lights (all of the lights)
[Rihanna]
Turn up the lights in here baby
extra bright, I want y’all to see this
turn up the lights in here, baby
you know what I need
want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights
(all of the lights)
Fast cars, shooting stars
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
Until it’s Vegas everywhere we are
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life
If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life
[Kanye West]
Something wrong
I hold my head
MJ gone…our n-gga dead!
I slapped my girl, she called the feds
I did that time and spent that bread
I’m heading home, I’m almost there
I’m on my way, heading up the stairs
to my surprise, a n-gga replacing me
I had to take ’em to that ghetto university
[Chorus]
all of the lights
cop lights, flash lights, spot lights
strobe lights, street lights
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
fast life, drug life
thug life, rock life
every night
(all of the lights)
[Rihanna]
Turn up the lights in here, baby
extra bright, I want y’all to see this
turn up the lights in here, baby
you know what I need, want you to see everything
want you to see all of the lights
[Kanye West]
Restraining order
can’t see my daughter
her mother, brother, grandmother hate me in that order
public visitation
we met at Borders
told her she take me back
I’ll be more supportive
I made mistakes
I bump my head
courts suck me dry
I spent that bread
she need a daddy
baby please, can’t let her grow up in that ghetto university
[Chorus]
all of the lights
cop lights, flash lights, spot lights
strobe lights, street lights
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
fast life, drug life
thug life, rock life
every night
(all of the lights)
[Rihanna]
Turn up the lights in here, baby
extra bright, I want y’all to see this
turn up the lights in here, baby
you know what I need, want you to see everything
want you to see all of the lights
[Kid Cudi]
Getting mine, baby
gotta let these n-ggas know, yeah
get it right, ay
you should go and get your own
Getting mine, baby
gotta let these n-ggas know, yeah
get it right, ay
you should go and get your own
[Fergie]
Unemployment line, credit card declined
did I not mention I was about to lose my mind?
(my mind, my mind, my mind)
and also was about to do that line
okay, okay, you know we going all the way this time
(this time, this time, this time)
we going all the way this time
(time, time, time, time)
we going all the way this time
we going all the way this time
we going all the way this time
Turn up the lights in here, baby
extra bright, I want y’all to see this
turn up the lights in here, baby
you know what I need, want you to see everything
want you to see all of the lights

I tried to tell you but all I could say is ohhhh
[Alicia Keys]
Whoaa-oh-whoa

[Alicia Keys]
Whoaa-oh-whoa
Whoaa-oh-whoa-oh
[Elton John]
I tried to tell you but all I could say is ohhhh
i worry about people that have enough free time to type every single word of a song out on a website, lol
@BGG
They probably copied the lyrics off a site.
i like the drake version better
Nice song but waaay to many features…sounded better as a basic song with rihanna and chorus.
AGREED add drake too tho
maybe it will grow on me tho….
just listened to the whole thing…shit is wierd…LOL
Epic
Taylor Swift sold over a million. Kanye West sucks…. the only real musicians are Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber who are the only non-illuminati singers.
LMFAO…..dude. Hip-Hop.
im tired of this illuminati shit, are you that fucking stupid??????? that shit is not true, i wanna knock you the fuck out.
wtf
seriously dude, give this illuminati bullshit a break…I’m fucking so sick of hearing about it. Who gives a fuck one way or the other. I dont give a shit if Jay-Z was the actual DEVIL, I dont care!!!!!
you guys are right, i’m sorry, it’s my homosexuality that’s clouding my mind, someone please do me in the ear. PLEASE!
^
sure
damn wheres the drake verse
yo drake’s verse was totally irrelevant. kanye’s telling a story. drake’s just talking about himself
damn how many people are on this track 0.o to many features i like the simpler version with drake still dope though
Pretty cool Love it ♥
Song sucks,Kanye- 2 verses,could barely here cudi or anyone else smh but i expected it to be garbage…album is disappointing,you’d expect an album with RZA and Raekwon as guest features to be good,but of course not true. Kanye has some good verses but he doesnt step it up at all and honsetly wth is with him and not using his actual voice,no autotune on this,no he used something even worse
you’re a dumbfuck, go back to souljaboy retard
I completely agree with the Voice altering shit, i dont understand why he continues to go with it when clearly the best sound he ever had was on Late Registration and The Dropout, 2 albums where he didn’t once use autotune.
A bit prejudice aren’t we,hahaha? I don’t see where i said i listen to souja boy
ha thought u said dropout 2
Its aight I guess…I can see it being a hit on the radio but all those feature were completely unnecessary.
is this sped up or am i high
nvm it isnt..
It’s always somethin goin on but check me out on youtube THE GUITAR PLAYER FOR THIS DAY AND AGE. MANY ARTISTS USING LIVE BANDS NOW SO CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE BRYANTC1000. CAN PLAY ON ANY BEAT OR FOR ANY ARTIST.

DC MARYALND VIRGINIA ALL DAY!! I wanna be seen and heard by the right ppl ALL AROUND and get some work in,collab, tour ect.
Get @ me leaving.carter@gmail.com
Am i high..?
or because i drink redbull
what ever…this song is fuckinnnnnnnnnnnn great
one of the best shit kanye ever have
f u guys its just musik and people just needs to listen to the whole sound not the attitude of person who made it….dang sum pips are stooopid…. cant help them..
thats it
so many people hate on kanye west and jay-z
but imagie hiphop without those people WTFFF SO MANY AMAZING SONGS
unique and just GOOD
No wonder his album is so expensive..lol I’m sure it would be expensive for all these features.
i hope kanye west will do an album with mos def next
its nice but i hope he puts a compact 3 min version on the album not that thing
id rather here it with hook like it is annd just 2, 3 good rappers
but still better the way it is than with drake and nikki minaj on it
wasnt drake supposed to be on this track? and fergie kinda ruins it for me… but otherwise its nice with an ill ass beat
Kanye is definitely on some next level shit…
I’ll forgive 808’s if you keep this up Kanye. It’s not just Hip Hop anymore, it’s Music… GOOD Music.
808’s wasnt hip hop dummy. it was music… GOOD music.
808s was still good even tho it wasnt hip hop but this right here is just plain amazing
This is obviously Kanye version of “We are the World”. Thumbs up, 5 stars.
Great…but where the heck is Elton’s gay behind..and where is Alicia and Ryan? yall lemme know
i only can say where alicia is she is the girl singing oOoOoO after the man(i dont know who he is)says i tried to tell u but all i could say was
and the dream??? where they all at?
Ok where the the hell is everybody??? haha But Track Is Insane!!!
Kanye West is a very well respected artist…. to have an Elton John vocal, even a smidget, is a huge sign of respect
this isn’t the final version. The album version is over 8 to 9 minutes long.
hell yeah, can’t wait for that!
Cant wait for this album
Fuck Rihanna. I hate Rihanna. This song is cool tho
I also hate that Fergie shit. She should quit from hip-hop and go to fuckin mainstream. Thumbs up for Kanye, Cude, Elton John
i know its a good song when i close my eyes and just boop……. on a public wifi hot spot then get up and throw the earbuds down and say that shit wasnt fair to other niggas
fergie is not good in this shit…
this is fucking shit but fergie is fucked up…
People don’t understand. Kanye does MUSIC now, not just hip hop. He has the pull in the industry to craft songs exactly the way he thinks they should sound as an artist. The only other people in history that could pull this off are MJ, Stevie, Frank Sinatra and other justifiable legends. Too many features for my taste but the song is great and I give props to a legend in the making. RESPECT!!!
Hip hop is music.
Agreed ^
I pray to freaking God that this isn’t the final version of this song…This track absolutely PLUMMETS after Kanye’s 2nd verse ends…I’ve never heard a song that was so good in the first half and so terrible in the 2nd one…
i liked this shit alot. half these dudes werent even on this shit though? 5/5
Remember, Remember the 5th of November.
type ‘Caveat Emptor’ on datpiff for more…..
not bad at all, i like…but damn all those artists, is that necessary?
Tight work.
The Dream where ya at
The only singer u can really hear is Rihanna….and fergie
Beats! Beats! Beat!

WhYes Productions_ Real Hip Hop Is Still Alive!!!
Awesome!
okay break down of the song:
Kanye west-could obviously hear
The-dream-has a part at the end just say owaa in autotune
Kid Cudi- says “gettin Mine(Right 2nd time) baby gotta let these N*ggas know.
Fergie-raps and says going all this way this time
ryan leslie-says turn up the lights in hear baby after fergie raps
Alicia Keys-sings awooo awooo while ryan leslie is saying turn up the lights in here baby.
Elton John- plays piano on kid cudi part and at end
Tony williams-says i forgot to tell ya but all i can say is ahh
elly Jackson-says until they mstay exactly were we are
john legend i cant find and charlie i cant find
John Legend and Charlie Wilson are backing vocals when they say ” All of the lights!” I believe.
I LOVE….Chocalate, mustard, ice cream, lasagna, iced tea, and piña colada yoghurt…..,but for some reason it doesn’t taste as good when you mash them all together.
What a coincidence, because that’s exactly what’s not going on here! That’s a terrible metaphor, because for one, food can’t be compared to music.
And two, if you insist on this stupid ass metaphor, when you use each ingredient correctly, i.e a dash of Elton’s piano, a layer of Keys’ vocals, you get a deliciously awesome track.
There you go, you’re welcome.
this isn’t necessary.
are you serious! don’t get mad cause it’s alot of ppl on one track. the song is hot.Can’t wait for the cd ye!!
lolololol i agree and im a fan of the half the artist on this track…

To jest genialne!!!!!!
this sucks compare to the good friday version
there is no G.O.O.D. Friday Version. This isn’t the real album version either. It’s funny how 4 different versions of each song have leaked and none of them are correct. only rapper I know that has different versions like Sublime.
There isn’t a G.O.O.D Friday version is there?
This version is so much better without Drake on it.
Fergies line meant alot to me but that is only due to the fact I know her history before B.E.P. (Wild Orchid) when she had a meth addiction..so with that knowledge when she says “Unemployment line, credit card declined/ did I not mention I was about to lose my mind?/ (my mind, my mind, my mind)/
and also was about to do that line?/” I understand where she is coming from and appreciate the energy and dedication to the concept of the song from her. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP FERGIE!!
I didnt even hear half those people.
good
classic..
great song
only heard Kanye, John Legend (backing vocals only), Ryan Leslie, Alicia Keys, Fergie (worst part on the song tho), Kid Cudi, Elton John (on piano) & Rihanna.
didnt hear the-dream, charlie wilson, tony williams and elly jackson although i hv no clue how tony n elly’s voices sound like

This song fits Fergie. They blend her vocals with Rihanna at the beginning.
I think the final version will feature Fergie since she has a verse. Not a fan per se but she fits it musically.
I think Ye just had everyone lay down a track and will decide what to do later!
sick
Amazing! I can hear everyone but John Legend and I’m not fimiliar with Elly Jackson’s voice. I like the way he implemented Dream when you hear him say “lghts,lights,lights”
Elton John is actually harmonizing with Alicia Keys at the end of the song, “thought I told you about all the….”, also playing the piano with Alicia.
dang drake got ranked? he had the best part on the unfinished version. and im not even a drake fan like that.
ROC NATION STAND UP!!!!!!!!!
Star studded
Superstar ish
KANYE LEGENDARY PRODUCER AND DOPE ASS RAPPER.
MOST EXCELLENT
Epic!!!
good
Epic.
………wow……..
Masterpiece
this is hot.
wasted ryan leslie’s unique voice with all that autotune…
whats wrong with this website? no good music on it. where’s clay aiken at? Fuck bitches get money nigggaaa
goosebumps when i hear this, inspirational, and get the adreniline going, going to be a sport song i can tell…
is this on the album or not, its not on the itunes album, please tell me????????????????
This song reaks of Desperation, lol
500 guest spots on one song, fuck outta here
this is sweet, beat on point, kanye killing..he really stepped it up in this album and song
utterly average song, no matter how many more names it will feature, i cant just see the point on pushn forward such a needless product.
dis shit iz crack but yy iz Fergie on dis
overrated wack shit
my favorite song…not the album version i got though..but this is some cinematic shit

lemme me know what yall think hip hop dx
i love this song so forget what the rest say LOVE the kid cudi part
I’m feeling the hell out of this song but I think it’s missing something. A few more guests on it will really finish balancing it out.
You know, I was singing up that ‘all of the lights’ refrain… can I be on the remix, Kanye?
Kidding. I’d end up doing something stupid to Rihanna in the processes…but I’m digging it, but we need Cudi gone. I would rather have had Drake. Or may I say it, Jay?!?
