4 stars Great song and instrumental.
The lead off single from Late Registration, "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" is a very nice track. I love the vocal sampling and his rhymes are great, too. (If you want to hear a version that is more about Sierra Leone, and less about other stuff, dowload the remix with Jay Z.) By no means is this his best material, but it's still a really nice track from Kanye.

But what I really bought it for was the instrumental. (Which includes the vocal sample, if you were wondering. I love it.) When you listen…

3 stars pretty good,but Kayne is a bit heavy-handed at times
I dig the James Bond theme Sample.it fits what Kayne West was trying to get at.Musically he has a bit too much going on.His Rap Flow is better here though at times he is still too preachy.right now He is still beter behind someone else as to being a Artist thus far.this song has a good message,but Kayne is still a bit too heavy handed.
