06/04/07 - Mixtape Monday: Kanye West

J-Banks · 06-04-2007, 07:32 AM

Artist: Kanye West

Representing: (Actual) great music and (his record label) GOOD Music

Mixtape: Can't Tell Me Nothing

411: He's back. And sooner than you think. Kanye West has gotten such a strong response from his "Can't Tell Me Nothing" single and video that his Graduation album has been moved up from September to late August. His Can't Tell Me Nothing mixtape blends some of West's best underground work from the past few months, such as his jack-move verse on Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's" and unreleased material from himself and his GOOD Music family. Jennifer Hudson brings her commanding vocals to Really Doe's "Magnetic Power" while Pimp C and Lil Wayne rap on the title track to Fonzworth Bentley's C.O.L.O.U.R.S. Meanwhile, Common and GLC get solo records.

"John Legend is killing them worldwide," West said. "He's got great reviews at his shows. You got the Common album [Finding Forever] about to drop. Consequence has the new video 'Don't Forget 'Em.' The Sa-Ra movement, it's already been jumping off, but now that they're off Sony maybe we'll be able to do a video for them and get them out properly. I'm still 100 percent behind any artists I ever messed with before. Everything doesn't always happen overnight. I don't think GOOD Music ever had the leeway of dropping bad music. We always had the responsibility of delivering good music. You hear about it was times where people's brand was so strong they could put out music back-to-back and sell records. It's a different day and age. My responsibility is to deliver [a] really good product."

Joints To Check For:

* "Stay Up" by 88 Keys (featuring Kanye West and Malik Yusef). Yes, "Stay Up" is dealing with exactly what you might think, one of Borat's favorite pastimes — "sexy time." West raps about a girl that is so hot, even virile young gentlemen would want to pop some Viagra when they get a chance to bed her. The lady may be too potent, though. "In the restaurant with her voice way up," West rhymes. "Please keep it discrete/ Keep the business out of the street/ She said, 'I would if he would handle biz up in the sheets.' "

* "CRS" by Kanye West (featuring Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell). The word on the Net is this trio may be a new supergroup on the horizon. We'll see. Obviously, all three artists are very familiar with each other and this record may be their best collaboration yet. Skateboard may have the best verse on this one, though. He addresses the Virginia Tech massacre, ghetto chemists and even lays down some imagery. "I bring a burning sensation to the urban eye, like a eyedrop of turpentine." And there's a Thom Yorke sample playing repeatedly to boot.

* "Stronger" by Kanye West. He says he's done teasing us, then what does he do? He gives us a snippet of this record. In the words of Dame Dash, "Damn Kanye." West samples Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." The robotic funk of the record is doing a two-step across your eardrum this summer. On the little of the record you do hear, Yeezeey openly asks for a "Black Kate Moss," and once again quips about who is making "real" music.

Plus, Queens, New York's own Superstar Jay drops his latest ...

Kanye is wack. And who is feeling that single? That shit aint shit, it sure as fuck aint nearly as big as Gold Digger was. Fuck him and his wack ass shit. Did anyone hear what happened at Summer Jam with Kanye and Swizz? Now I think it was part of the show, well it def was, Swizz said he is the best producer in the game, nobody can fuck with him, Kanye then said nobody else got hits Swizz? They started a beat battle, the DJ played Kanye tracks, then Swizz tracks, they played Takeoever from Kanye, then Jigga My Nigga from Swizz, then Encore from Kanye then Ruff Ryders Anthem from Swizz, the crowd went crazy for Swizz, meaning he smashed Kanye, but it was Swizz's set, and it was NY.
