Super obvious Kanye vote here. “Gold Digger” is a Stone Cold Classic. “Centerfold” is all right but handily outclassed here.

Voting for centerfold. It's an OK song.

I listened to the Kanye song and while I enjoyed it musically I just can't enjoy the lyrics.

I would argue the lyrics to Centerfold are way grosser and more misogynistic

JuanHamm · Post by **JuanHamm** » Wed March 25, 2020 2:26 pm

Yeah, maybe

I guess with rap the lyrics are usually the focal point of the song, so they stand out more.

I had considered that, but I do listen to Mos Def and Kid Cudi, so I think I'm OK.

Also J Geils is black

I love Gold digger. For the story it tells and Jamie Foxx.

Is there nothing that man can't do?

His vocals here really are incredible. Also, according to Foxx himself, you can thank Kanye for him getting into music:

I will warn everyone that if Centerfold wins this I will not be continuing with the rest of the tournament

I'm going to change my vote to gold digger because I don't really care either way

Gold Digger

“Centerfold” is a fun tune—a lot of interesting composition choices and several moments that sink their hooks into you. His vocals are probably my only complaint. He’s just not a very strong vocalist.

“Gold Digger” is so fucking cool. The first 0:30 still blow me away. Kanye’s tone, flow and lyrics are in perfect harmony. Is that a KAZOO?! Early Kanye is so much better than late Kanye. Yeah, I said it.

GD gets my vote.

Same. But Centerfold gets the slight edge. But I almost abstained from this match.

Love me some J Geils, but not when they write their own songs.
