New album from Kanye West is dropping on September 18th

He's already released (and made a video for) the song, "Cant tell me nothin" which is decent

but I think the real gem is going to be the first official single "Stronger" which samples Daft Punk. Here is a snippet of "Stronger" (which is all that has been released so far)

also, if you want to hear a few other songs that may or may not be on the album, check out this "Cant tell me nothin" mixtape

Daft Punk will be in the video... this shall be interesting as I am a HUGE daft punk fan although they have admittedly dropped off in the studio after Homework, but it was a masterpiece

6/1/2007 11:16:58 AM

he's definetly overrated, but he does come out with some good, innovative shit every now and then

6/1/2007 11:23:15 AM

hes a great producer

6/1/2007 11:25:56 AM

so he dropped out in 2004...re-registered in 2005 but registered late...and now he's graduating in 2007...i commend him for getting his act together in school

6/1/2007 11:45:44 AM

What did he go to school for? (Just curious)

6/1/2007 11:54:43 AM

i dunno, i was simply making a play on words of his albums "College Dropout" "Late Registration" and now "Graduation"

6/1/2007 11:56:10 AM

oh, I see. I don't listen to this stuff, so I missed the joke

6/1/2007 11:58:32 AM

^ cracker ass cracka

6/1/2007 12:00:45 PM

ahaha raymonds


and this mixtape is like Kanye is tryna make me like him again, i'm feelin it

6/1/2007 1:19:53 PM

i hate Kanye

6/1/2007 2:08:06 PM

dunno, he's running the college theme into the ground

get ready for another bitchfest when his songs aren't as great as he thinks they are.

in all seriousness, I think it was Art.




yeah, "After attending The American Academy of Art, a Chicago art school, West attended Columbia College Chicago, but eventually dropped out in order to begin working on his music career."

Mixtape's got a few dope tracks on it.

6/1/2007 9:42:23 PM

cant wait...love kanye west (no homo)

6/3/2007 4:29:40 PM

he better win every award. Even CMA's. Or he's gonna be pissed!

6/3/2007 5:09:33 PM

goddamn, the full version of "Stronger" is great. too bad i dont have it w/o a dj yet.

6/3/2007 10:10:13 PM

I am looking forward to this album. I did like the "Can't Tell Me Nothing" video, and hopefully he'll put a version of that song with Young Jeezy actually rhyming on it on the album. I know he did that for "Diamonds (from Sierra Leone)" where he had one by himself and then the remix with Jay-Z. The mixtape is dope btw.

6/7/2007 3:13:55 PM

heres the full version of "Stronger"

without the DJ

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/audio/id.2273/title.kanye-west-stronger-non-radio-rip

6/7/2007 3:48:02 PM

^Stronger without the DJ is so much better....and the mixtape is pretty tight...the CRS (Kanye, Lupe, and Pharrel) song is the best on it i think

6/7/2007 5:20:15 PM

wow...stronger is sick

6/7/2007 5:25:07 PM

I guess I'm in the minority then, as I didn't particularly like it.

6/7/2007 7:19:16 PM

don't worry, i'm in the minority too

6/7/2007 8:15:26 PM

Didn't really like it. Rest of the album will be better.

6/7/2007 9:44:33 PM

all three of you are wrong. that song is goddamn ridiculous.

6/7/2007 11:43:51 PM

That stronger songs got some nice beats, course I sorta like some Daft too. Hate when bands or artists put out a release date so far away though.

6/8/2007 12:05:47 AM

^ Like most hip-hop releases, the release date'll get moved up, once more tracks start to leak...though the fact that Kanye released a mixtape should alleviate that somewhat.

Good to know I'm not alone on "Stronger." I prefer "Can't Tell Me Nothing," actually.

6/8/2007 2:06:40 PM

i'm hooked on track 3 - "Us Placers"

thom yorke singing the hook, absolutely beautiful.

6/8/2007 8:13:30 PM

I like how one of the lines of "Stronger" is "Don't people make real shit any more?"

when he's rapping over samples of vocoders by guys who don't show their faces

Stronger is a hot song

but i like how people are all like OMG DAFT PUNK!!! KANYE = GENIUS

but swizz beats was doin that shit last year with "Touch It"

6/9/2007 9:51:41 AM

^I'm not saying hes a genius for sampling daft punk, I just enjoy the hell out of the song.

6/9/2007 10:39:32 AM

lawl at people going nuts over Stronger

it aint that dope

bttt

i totally forgot about this until i saw a tiny clip on mtv and i remembered daft punk was supposed to be in the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvTAt20eedU

when i saw daft punk doing that shit to kanye in the beginning, i thought they were bringing the orginal harder, better, faster, stronger video elements.

they weren't

7/3/2007 9:23:48 PM

SO I PARALLEL DOUBLE PARK THAT MOTHERFUCKER SIDEWAYS

Yeah T-Pain sucks, but he sells and kanye said he liked T-Pain so i guess thats were that comes from. Apparently "Good Life" is supposed to be this albums "Gold digger" but we'll see. I dont think "Classic" is a Kanye song, I know hes on it but i think its for a mixtape or for someone elses album.

It's for Nike. I believe its specifically for the 25th anniversary of the air force one shoes. Sidenote, Kanye doesn't deserve to belong on a track with Nas, Rakim, Krs, and Premier.

I think, conceptually, the concept of the song was generations of "classics", therefore, Kanye representes the "new" generation of classics, what I would deem the "soul era" of breaks and beats
