    listen to this song. really listen to it. the lyrics, the strings in the background, the piano, the screaming fans.

    this is no doubt in my mind his greatest song ever, and I can't imagine anything will ever top it. true passion.

    these are the things that distinguishes rockstars from legends.

    Imo this song is a little bit boring, maybe it would be 10x better in CDQ though

    It's alright. Really wish it wasn't the closer to 808s, though

    Beautiful track... live version gave it that bit more emotion that I don't think he would've delivered in the studio

    I used to hate it, never listened to it all the way through until recently. Listening to the lyrics up close and watching the video, with all the context in mind, made the song that much more powerful.

    Thread would be 100% fact if it said worst instead of greatest

    Pinocchio Story tells the story of Kanye, the man today, and why he is who he is. If you think it's the worst song of his, in my opinion, you must not understand/feel the song for all that it is.

    Wow, that's just false. If soulful and unfiltered means whiny to you, you should re-evaluate your definitions for soulful and unfiltered.

    This can't be true because no one's ever listened to all of Pinnochio Story before

    I honestly have convinced myself that this is just a bonus song on 808s and coldest winter is the album closer. this is what i believe.

    can't say i agree since i've never heard it. all the versions of 808s i've ever had over the years didn't have the song on there:manny:
