It actually has more than 2 good songs on it:

Jesus Walks
Through The Wire
All Falls Down
Slow Jamz

There are some more, but these are the ones I downloaded so far.

i might be ignorant but workout plan, is this supposed to be even remotely good?  why all the buzz for kanye when his first single from the cd is this bad?

i remember hearing a song back from him where it sounded like he kinda knew how to sing, and then this song, if you need to make a song just to get people to buy the albums thats sad.  he will probably say the rest of the cd is better and this was the one song that he made to be the pop song, the one everyone can enjoy, but it sucks, why buy the cd when the song he puts out there for the masses sucks?

ugh, I thought he had morals and talent, i see neither in this song.

That songs obviously a joke, but I guess you wouldn’t know that unless you heard the skit on the cd before it.  But yeah I think its the weakest single of his 5.

I think its just sad that a guy like Kanye (who up to this point managed to seperate himself from the rest of the drones in the hip hop, rap, and r&b community) has sunk to the same level as his peers with a crappy generic song and an even crappier video with cameos and half naked women to distract from the actual song being performed.

I was a fan of Kanyes before even though I never purchased a CD because it was nice seeing someone do something different, and since the point of this first video is to get people to buy the CD to see the real songs Kanye wanted you to hear, and not the ones the record label wants you to hear (see: Working Out), he will not get me to buy his CD based on this song alone.  The song sucks and there has to be a better song on the CD that the label doesnt deem appropriate enough to be a first single but unfortunately, its about first impressions and with this video, he has made a horrible one.

yeah kanye i think really surprised a lot of people, most producers turned rappers suck.  but yeah there are a bunch of hits on that cd

only thing is now he’s more arrogant than ever.  and on everybody’s albums.  i just hope he doesn’t overdo it and turn into nelly or some ####
