a german friend of mine had a listen to the new Kanye West album..
Well I got to listen to the new album thanks to my friend who runs a record store here in Munich so I thought I'd give y'all a quick taste of what's to expect...
1. Touch the Sky - produced by Just Blaze. Nice Curtis Mayfield sample and featuring an up and coming Chicago emcee called Lupe Fiasco. Pretty deadly combination this one, dope track.
2. Gold Digger - straight head bopping beat, nice hook by Jamie Foxx... this track like so many others by Kanye is about evil chicks haha. Second single.
3. Crack Music - most controversial track on the album... Game on the hook and Kanye rapping about black power conspiracies. Kinda heavy.
4. Heard 'Em Say - Adam Levine from Maroon 5 on the hook, nice melodic track. Gonna be the third single.
5. Drive Slow - dirty south stomper with a chopped and screwed DJ Screw sound to it. GLC and Paul Wall are featured. Not really my thing but many will like it.
6. Bring Me Down - Brandy gives you goosebumps on this one, along with the massive choir in the background. Definitely a highlight on the album.
7. Addictive - up tempo track with south American feel. The girls are gonna love it... sure fire club hit.
8. Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Remix) - the official remix of the first single with a qick 16 by Jay-Z.
9. Celebration - another over-the-top production, hype stuff. gotta love it!
10. Late - very experimental sudden burst of tempo... kinda strange. Not sure what to think about this one.
11. We Major - Solid track nice feature... not necessarily a highlight.
12. Hey Mama - The only old song that made it on to the album. Features John Legend in a re-mastered version.
13. Gone - Cam'ron, Consequence and Kanye spitting fire. Fucking incredible beat.. apparently Common rejected it! This is one of the best tracks for sure.
-
I can't wait for this album. Kanye is so fucking good...
-
Kanye lost.
-
if theres no skits, i can see this album being amazing, fuck it , even with skits, he is good, makes good music.
-
Seems like Kanye is coming with another straight up banger. Good. :)
-
i heard it was 13 tracks with no skits
-
G.O.O.D. music forever
-
seems dope. Good if there is no skits, plus 13 tracks are enough for me, I'm gettin tired of these full of fillers cds 8)
-
he put the skits that used to be in this album already in college drop out.
