West begins the song by expounding his conflicted feelings regarding wealth and desire, describing a compulsion to spend that overwhelms any and all other objectives in life. Lyrically, "Can't Tell Me Nothing" serves as West's reflection on his fame and as such hovers between insecure and confrontational while marked by bitter regret and self-aware defiance. The song contains audio samples of ad-libs provided by Young Jeezy as well as background vocals provided by Connie Mitchell of the Australian electronic group Sneaky Sound System. He also explained that, with the track, he wanted to make anthemic music and create a theme song for the people. West stated that he drew inspiration from arena rock bands such as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, elaborating that the song's chords are akin to that of a rock melody. "Can't Tell Me Nothing" features slow, moody synth-driven production, exemplifying the new sonic direction that would come to dominate much of Graduation. It was also featured in the movie The Hangover. It was nominated for "Track of the Year" at the 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards. The song is featured as the sixth track on Now That's What I Call Music! 26. Though "Can't Tell Me Nothing" didn't impact pop radio as significantly as the album's subsequent singles, West took pride in the fact that he had attained his very first street anthem with the song. The cover art of the single was designed by the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. "Can't Tell Me Nothing" was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 50th Grammy Awards, but lost to another one of West's songs, "Good Life". It received acclaim from music critics and was listed amongst the best tracks of the year by several publications. The song was produced by Kanye West and Atlanta record producer DJ Toomp. It was released on as the lead single of his third studio album, Graduation. "Can't Tell Me Nothing" is a song by American hip-hop recording artist Kanye West.
