Okay, I’ll go ahead and admit it; I like that song, We Don’t Care, and Gold Digger quite a bit.

"Gold Digger" lyrics are hilarious! "We Don't Care" is more like slam poetry than a song, but it hangs together in those terms. I also like "Can't Tell Me Nothing", the video for "Runaway," and some of his gospel stuff.

He lifted a lot of the imagery from the cinematograpy of "Jesus Walks" from "O Brother Where Art Thou," but I like the gospel content of the lyrics appealing to the rap audience—and also how he incorporated that old vaudeville comedy trope, "feet(s) don' fail me now" and turned it around to something seriously life-changing.
