As anyone who knows me knows, I like to dance – but that’s not the point here. “Golddigger” by Kanye West does have a great beat and the Ray groove going on is incredible – but look at the narrative here. First he’s in the beauty shop and runs into a girl with a baby in her arms. He’s looking for “the one.” His psychic told him she has four kids and her name ends with eena. After musing on the wisdom of pre-nuptual agreements, he goes into a vague story about eating in a restaraunt and not having the money to pay, and so the girl ends up washing the dishes and somehow ends up with the ambitious janitor. That’s nice,but he’s going to leave her for a white girl. All in all, it doesn’t make a lot of sense but somehow he strings it all together, and has some great rhyming fun with lipo and geiko. The apparent stream-of-consciousness recitation is impressive.
