Talk:Gold Digger (Kanye West song)

message: I'm not saying it's all true, indeed there is a tag saying it might rely on unreferenced, self-researched claims, but it does appear to be very well done, and did a good job at explaining what some of the phrases of the song mean which I was looking for.68.3.214.66 (talk) 21:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I failed to find one primary contributer to that portion of the article, so I might as well say it here:  That break-down of the lyrics is hilarious.  --Adamrush (talk) 14:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Quote from provided source:
" The speculation that Mariah Carey's "Shake It Off" (Island) would advance to No. 1 on The Billboard Hot 100 came to naught".
We don't report speculation or suppositions. Will reword. --FuriousFreddy 06:24, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

message: For the type of person decribed in this song, see Age disparity in sexual relationships.
In the song, Kanye is describing a gold digger, which is, a woman, who is using him for his money, age disparity is were one of the people are young and the other is old, right?
*Yes, but he also isnt saying shes a gold digger, just that she "aint messin with no broke niggas". --Shawn88 11:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible wrong info

message: I am currently in need of absolute, irrefutable proof regarding whether Ray Charles is or is not sampled in the repeated chorus of "She give me money."  Some say it is Charles' own voice, some say it is Foxx.  Must know.
* Its a Ray Charles vocal sample. I'm 100% sure of it. The article even mentions it. --Shawn88 20:12, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

message: in the introductory paragraph it states, "It is inarguably his most commercially successful and signature song, most recognizable for its innovative time signatures, ..."
i don't understand. how is 4/4 throughout an innovative time signature? i mean, in the singing at the beginning the rhythm is a little loose, but i wouldn't go as far to say that has anything to do with its time signature.

thread_title:  strange description 

message: The arrangement of this song is clearly based on the Lee Fields/Martin Solveig version of "I Got a Woman" (I don't know how to document this, you would have to listen for yourself).  Shouldn't that be in the article somewhere?

message: West gave what was the performance of the night when he performed Gold Digger accompanied by 77 gold painted models who strutted across the stage. It made quite a big splash in the UK!    .  Also 'Not content to rest on his laurels, West performed a huge spectacular version of 'Gold Digger' at the 2006 Brit awards, with hundreds of dancers behind him' from . Is this worth a mention in the article?  86.150.102.220 (talk) 16:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: In a performance in 2004, he performed a piece entitled "18 years" on Def Poetry that is almost completely from the second verse, with the exception of the last two lines. I'm not sure if this was done before or after recording and whatnot, but just thought I'd throw it out there, since it's possibly the first time he performed even a piece of it, outside the recording.

message: This is untrue. The citation link footnoting this claim lists twenty-five songs with longer runs at number one. Should this instead read "joint twenty-sixth longest ever at ten weeks", or should the passage simply be removed altogether?
