Kanye West - All Falls Down (feat. Syleena)
There are points in my life when I look back to when I first really started to get into Kanye. It was just before Graduation came out. I downloaded all the Kanye I could and let it roll on repeat for weeks. Then Graduation came out and I let that roll on repeat, pretty much until My Beautiful Dark Fantasy came out. I sometimes miss his straight up hip-hop.

Kanye West & Jay-Z - H.A.M.
Despite the questionable name for a single, it’s actually… well what you expect. It’s musical schizophrenia. This is the first release of the new album, Watch The Throne, coming from the hip-hop legends in March. There is quite the hype cause if it’s anything like what they did on Monster and So Appalled it’s gonna be quite unbelievable. Listening to this track though, that’s not so hopeful.
H.A.M. = Hard As a Mothafucka

I looked at my bank statement. I am now dreaming of the Good Life and reworking my resume…

Kanye West - Good Friday (feat. Common, Pusha T, KiD CuDi, Big Sean & Charlie Wilson)
Ok, we’re a bit behind on our posts. I say this as if you haven’t noticed we’ve been absent for the past 4 months. Even now when I’m catching up I’m posting a two week old track.
So, if you haven’t heard yet. Kanye is releasing a track every Friday. It’s good Friday. There have been some legendary tracks dropped so far: Monster, Devil In A New Dress, Runaway Love (Remix). Over all Kanye fans have been pretty hyped. Yesterday he just dropped So Appalled, which, to be honest, is too long, but other than that a pretty dope track. This track here was released a couple weeks ago and I would have to say its the best Good Friday track so far. That’s why I’m posting this instead of So Appalled. Word is all of these tracks are a lead up to an album that he is doing with Jay-Z that should be released in November sometime.

Drake - Find Your Love
So I realized we have never actually done a blog post on Drake. I think that is mostly because most about him is hype, but I do like some of his stuff, such as this track. I listened to his album, Thank Me Later, recently and it’s alright. It’s got some high spots some low spots, but for the most part just an overall plateau of alright. I’d have to say where it really shines through is this track. The beat for this is just unreal, a Kanye beat no less, and it’s uber catchy. Kind of a guilty pleasure, but its not really guilty when its legit (aka Kanye production).

Kanye West - Power (feat. Dwele)
This is long awaited and exciting! Finally a new track from Kanye, and one that actually has him rapping. This track is good news. It sounds like Kanye’s new album, Good Ass Job, is gonna be legit. I mean he uses a King Crimson sample. Could it get any better? Well yeah… it can. This track isn’t that great it just sounds like the album should be returning to Kanye’s former glory.
