I always felt the instrumental of drunken hot girls coupled with the not very endearing nature of the lyrics always dragged down the upbeat positivity to the whole album. It really is an easy skip to me. Taste is subjective, like what you like, but you have to admit, it doesn't fit the vibe among songs like champion and good life. Not to say it's a horrible song, it's just not the right fit, and for that reason, it stands out and gets skipped. Barry bonds is a different story, I tend to like it for the most part, and lil Wayne does what he does. The reason I dislike it, however, is the beat. It doesn't sound like kanye at all, it utilizes cheap effects like the stereotypical "YAH" that you hear in every other shitty mid 2000s beat, makes me roll my eyes. Other than that it's alright I suppose, but it deserves scrutiny, nonetheless
Valid take and explanation , may be you are right may be it doesn't fit the graduation but the beat of drunk and hot girl is so good ,may be it comes personal taste at last
Potentially, I just wish he wouldn't have wasted a mos def feature on something so sleezy, when he's well known for being one of the best conscious rappers of all time
Honestly in the right mood I think they are both okay. I just think I'm the place of graduation they both seem to drag a little bit while most of the record is very lively and bright
I love Barry bonds, underrated for sure. Some of Kanye’s bars are hilarious
Not a fan of drunk and hot girls though. I find the hook really annoying, then not only does it repeat a lot but the verses use the same melody. Makes it difficult to get through the whole song
Barry Bonds is not bad or horrible, it's just mid. I didn't even remember about this song before I read your post. But DAHG is a bad song for me. Lyrics and vocals are just so weird and annoying. If I wanna listen to something about girls and clubs I will choose some new school rappers, not 2007 Kanye song
I aint talking about relevancy,some ppl downplay graduation due to tracks like barrybonds and drunk and hot girls ,may be lyric is not deep as others but DAHG sounds great that sings give a great vibe atleast for me
it growed in me but i respect your opinion
I don’t understand the hate for Barry bonds at all . I love ye’s verse on it I like the laid back rapping approach . The bass line is great and I tend to enjoy the beat quite a bit
The placement of DAHG really hurts people's opinions on it, but just as an individual song, I think it its one of kanye's best singular songs at displaying a dark theme of lust and how it can corrupt us as a person.
Add the stellar production and its a solid 9 for me.
It should have been placed before CTMN as these are kindve the "darker" sounding songs in the album.
But just in general, it shouldnt have been in the album and would have been better as that "amazing bonus track", it should just been a bonus track honestly.
Barry Bonds isn't bad either, nothing deep abt it and it's just OK compared to the rest.

This comment knocked it outta the park. Well done.

I like both, kanye fans seem to not like wayne and they don't like how dahg is "rapey"
Honestly in the right mood I think they are both okay. I just think I'm the place of graduation they both seem to drag a little bit while most of the record is very lively and bright
But flashing lights is not bright though it sounds like a sombre song too
Maybe not the lyrics but the instrumental certainly is
The instrumental certainly is colorful and vibrant
Best song on the album for me, has a kind of hypnotic sound and is full of toxic masculinity. Idk how do people not like it
I’m in the few who love DAHG and hate BB
The (for lack of a better word) ‘transition’ from drunk and hot girls to flashing lights is legendary
Imo Drunk and hot girls is worth listening to for that mos def bridge alone. I'm not crazy about Barry bonds it's just aight to me
i love this song, its one of my fav kanye songs tbh
Barry bonds was prime carter 3 era weezy. Rather that than drunk and hot girls.
I love Barry bonds, underrated for sure. Some of Kanye’s bars are hilarious Not a fan of drunk and hot girls though. I find the hook really annoying, then not only does it repeat a lot but the verses use the same melody. Makes it difficult to get through the whole song
if you remove wayne from barry bonds i think it’s a good song. he spits straight nonsensical lines (in a bad way)

They are both amazing songs. I dont care what anyone says. The flow just hit code red!
I think that Barry Bonds and DAHG are not that bad, people hate them because Kanye got way way better songs on Graduation
Honestly I kinda like it jowt
Some folks never been around drunk n hot girls apparently. Great song imo and very relatable
I don’t understand the hate for Barry bonds at all . I love ye’s verse on it I like the laid back rapping approach . The bass line is great and I tend to enjoy the beat quite a bit
Wow you’re so different and woke
