Admittedly, I'm a huge fan of Kanye, but I feel like you can say this about a lot of rappers. Even when I listen to classic hip hop like the Black Star album (Mos Def and Talib Kweli) there are some lines that just make me cringe. On that album, as well as on a lot of Kanye's tracks, the good moments make up for the weaker ones. I do feel like Kanye's lyrics have taken a huge step back from what he had going on his first 2 albums.
The verses in that song are some of his best, IMO.
For me, I listen to Kanye mostly because his producing is SICK. The lyrics, for the most part, don't get in the way of that.
Looking forward to watching Runaway when I get a chance.
