Well all the Real KanYe fans (Fans that have been with him from his production days up until his debut album) said from the beginning "Bound 2" was the best song on the album and now the pop community has embraced the song. It's the most successful song off the album. Yes the Seth Rogen/Franco parody did give it some more buzz but the fact is as much hate the video got a lot of people watched it.
I'm happy the song is doing well on the charts, hopefully the bells go off in KanYe head that this is the main style and main reason people love him. KanYe will never be able to escape the soul samples cause that's his bread and butter. This is why I loved "Otis" so much, he really tapped into his former self, same with "Bound 2". Happy it's a top 15 hit as I felt again from the beginning it shytted on the rest of the album heavily outside of "Blood on the Leeves" and "New Slaves".
