So two things have emerged from Butta’s great post about whether or not this rough, hot-off-the-hard-drive song from Kanye, “See Me Now,” is worth anything. Which, well, whatever. What’s more interesting is that here and around the internet people are really surprised about two things: The underutilization of Beyoncé and Charlie Wilson and Bey’s use of the word nigga.

Right. Did anyone really expect Kanye to do anything other than relegate his collaborators, regardless of their talents, to backup on his own track? Of course Kanye is going to make Bey and Charlie sing hooks on the same song. Especially on a song where he repeatedly likens himself to Jesus Christ and spends entirely too long listing all the magazine covers on which he’s going to be featured.
