It looks good!
-
I'm not sure 'Can't Tell Me Nothing' was co-produced by DJ Toomp... it just seems like an unlikely combination. The track samples Young Jeezy's 'I Got Money' which is produced by Toomp, maybe that's it... or maybe I'm wrong, who knows.
-
Nah, it is. Toomp said he did 3 tracks for Kanyes album, one of them being this one.
-
dont like the first two singles all that much Stronger may grow on me. Cant Tell Me Nothing sounded laboured and boring...
-
Stronger's amazing IMO...I hated it the first time, but it's grown on me so much lately. Love how Kanye keeps expanding his sound when nobody thought he could.
Should probably blow up...will be loved by most, hated by just as many.

ok, thanks

Album sounds good
-
I think Jon Brion was involved in the production of Stronger. That's at least what Kanye said in a interview I've recently read.
-
I heard Toomp co-produced three songs...cant tell me nothing, good life and some other one.
-
lmfao @ stronger being produced by kanye.

Updated.

Snippets for Big Brother and Champion. Big Brother sounds awsome, Champion not so much:

Timbaland re-creates Kanye's drums
We've all heard Kanye West's new single "Stronger" but did you know that Timbaland re-did the drums for the album version? Neither did I but it seems Mr. West felt the version he had already recorded of "Stronger" lacked that magic touch and decided call in the king to put his stamp on it. Check this article that reviews Kanye's Graduation album for more details:
****Lyrically the album sees West showcase his improved lyricism but it’s his production that takes centre stage on the second track as Kon’s fragmented flow shadows the beat. "I Wonder is a myriad of sounds intertwined with an addictive sample that evolves over four minutes whilst ‘Ye occasionally responds to the negative barbs that have been thrown his way. Late Registration featured the mother’s day favourite "Hey Mama" and ‘Ye addresses his paternal guardian whilst also aiming to inspire the ‘kids’ with a positive, upbeat joint "Champion".
Even though it’s hit number three in the charts over here and has repeated a similar feat stateside, Kanye still wasn’t happy with Stronger when he heard it in a club alongside Timbaland’s Way I Are which is his favourite beat at the moment. So he dragged Timbo into the studio and got him to redo the drums on the track, ‘for people who look fly’ so we were treated to the new version, though to be honest I didn’t realise there was anything different until West mentioned it.****

The final version of "Stronger" knocks a lot more! Timbaland saved Ye on that one.
Oh, any Kanye's verse on the "Can't Tell Me Nothin" remix is C.R.A.C.K.!

The new ending of Stronger that he did is magical, I love how the choir harmonises with the synths
