Kanye West- Gold Digger

This is the hugely successful single off Kanye West's second album, Late Registration.

Somehow, this is a pop song which combines a classic swing standard, useful advice about financial planning ("if you ain't no punk, holler 'We want pre-nup, we want pre-nup' ") and use of vocals as the backing instruments. Perhaps its an a capella rapsong?! Yet it all fits together seamlessly, resulting in pop music perfection.

As for the B-sides, rap isn't really my cup of tea, and Diamonds Are Forever or We Can Make It Better certainly aren't going to change that!

Gold Digger

Worthwhile?

Yes, it's a left-field gem.
