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

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.

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

“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.Anders wrote:Don’t really like either of these.

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