History
Content
"Gold Digger" was written by Kanye West and co-produced by West and Jon Brion. Jon Brion (born December 11, 1963) is an American rock and pop multi-instrumentalist Singer, Songwriter, The song was partly inspired after Kanye West met a girl named Katherine Stanfield and was so impressed by her gold digging skill that he decided to write a song about it. Significant age disparity in sexual relationships has been and remains a feature of couples in many Cultures and societies. The song is built around both a vocal interpolation and a sample of "I Got a Woman", originally performed by Ray Charles and written by Ray Charles and Renald Richard. " I Got a Woman " was a career-defining song for American R&B musician Ray Charles when released as a single in December of 1954. Though he is given full credit as a featured artist on "Gold Digger," Jamie Foxx's only vocal contribution is the a cappella introduction to the song, an interpolation of Charles's "I Got a Woman" (Foxx opens the song with the line "She take my money/when I'm in need/Yeah she's a trifling/friend indeed," a twist on Charles' original lyrics, "She gives me money/when I'm in need/Yeah she's a kind of/friend indeed. A cappella (Italian or Latin "From the chapel/choir" Music is Vocal music or Singing without instrumental Accompaniment " A sample of Charles singing the original is repeated throughout the song). The song is the second collaboration between Foxx and West, following "Slow Jamz" with Twista. The two also worked on Foxx's latest album, and West features on Foxx's song "Extravaganza". Interestingly the song was originally created not with the intention of Kanye performing it himself but with the intention of female rapper Shawnna performing it on her debut album "Worth tha Weight", however upon her turning it down Kanye simply rewrote the lyrics to give the male perspective. Rashawnna Guy (born in Chicago, Illinois) better known as Shawnna, is an American rapper. According to Kanye the intended chorus to be sung by Shawnna was as follows: "I'm not sayin' I'm a gold digger, but I ain't messin' with no broke niggas. . . "[1].
In the song, West and Foxx deliver a tongue-in-cheek criticism of 'gold diggers', women who seek out well-to-do mates mainly to profit from their wealth. Tongue-in-cheek is a term used to refer to humor in which a statement or an entire fictional work is not meant to be taken seriously but its lack of seriousness is subtle Significant age disparity in sexual relationships has been and remains a feature of couples in many Cultures and societies. "Now I ain't saying she a gold digger," West tells his audience, "but she ain't messin with no broke niggas. Nigga is a term used in African American Vernacular English that began as an Eye dialect form of the word Nigger (which is derived ultimately " The first verse describes the protagonist being sucked in by a lady's beauty, and unable to resist when the costs of being with her escalate. In the edited for radio/video version, the verse "messing with no broke niggas" was changed to "messing with no broke broke" which West claims to mean "the poorest of the poor". Nigga is a term used in African American Vernacular English that began as an Eye dialect form of the word Nigger (which is derived ultimately The description of the 'gold digger' hints at her taste for the finer things (but oddly enough the protagonist is attracted to her for it, showing that the 'victims' here aren't so unwilling after all). Later, we see the charm wear off as he is being taken advantage of. She obliges him to help out all of her kids and all of their friends at his expense. Kanye then mentions that he's not the first hip-hop star who's been in her sights, but he still can't resist her: "From what I heard she got a baby by Busta / My best friend say she used to fuck wit Usher / I don't care what none of y'all say, I still love her. Trevor George Smith Jr, (born May 20 1972 better known as Busta Rhymes, is an American actor and Musician of Jamaican descent Usher Raymond IV (born October 14 1978 known simply by his first name Usher, is an American R&B and pop Singer - Songwriter "
The second verse generalizes and discusses the long-term 'trap' where a gold digger gets a man to father a child, locking him in for child support to spend on herself, while not having to actually stay with the man. He mentions a pro football player acquaintance who is stuck in this trap, and pays so much (of his million-plus dollar salary) that she lives better than he does. This reflects a common sentiment among male divorcees considering alimony and child support as little more than money-siphons. The feeling is exacerbated because the gold digger doesn't use the money to take care of the child. She even lies to her man about the paternity of her child, resulting in the man supporting the child for 18 years until he discovers he is not the father. Kanye proposes a solution to this: In a famous call-back response he claims "If you ain't no punk, holla 'We want pre-nup!'"
In the third verse, West addresses himself to a female listener, first assuring her that he isn't talking about HER, of course (I ain't sayin' you a gold digger, you got needs). A prenuptial agreement, antenuptial agreement, or premarital agreement, commonly abbreviated to prenup or prenupt, is a Contract entered He urges her to stick with her man, even if he is a dishwasher or cook at a fast-food restaurant, instead of going after the men with the money. In an ironic final twist which punctuates the sarcasm inherent in the song, West tells the 'gold-digger' that when that hopeful and ambitious broke man finally "gets on," he is very likely to "leave your ass for a white girl. White People is the second album by Handsome Boy Modeling School. "

A dagger (from Vulgar Latin: 'daca' - a Dacian Knife) is a typically double-edged blade used for Stabbing or thrusting MTV ( Music Television) is an American Cable television network based in New York City. It took a while to persuade West to edit the knife out. In his argument, he pointed out that Shakira had a knife in her video for "La Tortura" (even though then it is used in a kitchen, not in a violent image). Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born February 2 1977 known simply as Shakira "es '''La Tortura'''" ( English: The Torture) is a Latin pop - Reggaeton song performed by Singers Shakira and Alejandro In the end, West agreed to obscure the knife with sparks of light.

Chart performance
Following the chart performance of "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", which failed to crack the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, West's label became concerned with how a follow up single would perform. " Diamonds from Sierra Leone" was the first single from Kanye West 's second album Late Registration. Their concerns were unfounded as "Gold Digger" became a success, hitting number one on the Hot 100, Pop 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and the Hot Rap Tracks charts. The Pop 100 is a songs chart created in February 2005 and released weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States.

This makes "Gold Digger" one of the few songs in history to sell over 1,000,000 downloads in the United States.
The high digital download sales helped propel the song from number nineteen to number one in one week, the fifth highest jump ever to that position on the Hot 100. The jump ended the fourteen-week (and ten consecutive week) run of Carey's "We Belong Together" at number one, and kept Carey's "Shake It Off" from replacing "We Belong Together" as the number one single. " Shake It Off " is a song co-written by American singer Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Johnta Austin, and recorded The song spent ten weeks at the top of the Hot 100 until rising R&B star Chris Brown's hit "Run It!" shot up to the pole position for the week of November 19.
