Stronger Track Listing:
1. Stronger (Album Version) (Explicit)
2. Can't Tell Me Nothing (Album Version) (Explicit)
Editorial Review:
First UK CD single pulled from the album Graduation. ‘Stronger’ features a sample from Daft Punk’s classic, ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’, and is the first track to showcase the futuristic theme that will be present throughout Graduation. Rumor has it that Kanye enlisted the help of no less than eight world class studio engineers to work on the track simultaneously in order to fine tune the epic sound Features 'Stronger' (Album Version Explicit) plus 'Can't Tell Me Nothing' (Album Version Explicit). Mercury. 2007.
Stronger Reviews:
Stronger Review 
2008-09-07 - This is the censored version of the song. My rating is simply because I purchased this, and it wasn't marked as the censored version of the song. I highly rate the song itself, but this one isn't marked as being censored.
If you want the uncensored version of the song, it's on the album "Graduation".
Better for Daft Punk fans. 
2007-12-27 - This album is probably better for those music collectors such as myself who lean towards the works of Daft Punk. The gem of this single, in that regard, is the instrumental version of "Stronger", which allows for a solid appreciation of the remix work Daft Punk did on their own song to create the backing music for Kanye's flow.
Very, VERY strong choices of singles. 
2007-12-20 - I especially love Can't Tell Me Nothing. Stronger's lyrics are somewhat average but what saves it is its KILLER beat!
Anyway, back to one of my favorite songs off the album, Can't Tell Me Nothing is RIGHT down my alley. No, I don't have or brag about, or get sued over money like Kanye West may. However, you can't tell me ANYTHING: I do as I please, say and act how I feel, and am so hard-headed you wouldn't know what to do with Me.
I like the female singing in the background, the smoky/"spooky" production and the La, La, La, La's in it too. Nearly perfect!
Stronger - 4 stars.
Can't Tell Me Nothing - 4.5 stars.

Daft punk? Niiiice! 
2007-11-01 - I was so excited when I heard that Daft Punk was getting sampled in a new song. I love Harder Better Faster Stronger and Kanye is one of the most interesting, intelligent, and complex rappers out right now IMO. I am not a rap fan in general, but I love this song.
