Mr West Is Back... At Last

Now Kanye West is probably my favourite artist so you can imagine my disappointment when he delayed the release of his new album Graduation from December 06 to June and now to September (It's still a doubt). At least now he has some new material out in the form of the mix tape Can't Tell Me Nothing. The mix tape includes the title track which is rumoured to his first release from his new album. The mix tape also includes snippets of two tracks almost certainly on Graduation. The first Stronger features a sample from Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and from the clip I have heard it is going to be a tune. The other is Young Folks again featuring a sample but this time from Young Folks(surprise, surprise) by Peter Bjorn and John. Also on the mix tape are some remixes by Kanye including T-Pain's Buy You A Drank, Throw Some D's and Ne-Yo's Because of You. The rest of the mix tape is a collection of tracks that Kanye features on or he has produced. A highlight is Us Placers by CRS, which is Kanye, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell, who hopefully will release an album of their own. The first video is the new video for Can't Tell Me Nothing produced by the legendary Hype Williams and if you are lucky enough to have access to itunes USA then you can download it for free. When I forst heard the song I'll have to admit I didn't like it but after a few listens I think it is a great track but maybe not as good as some of Kanye's previous work. The second is the funny video for the witty rap Throw Some D's remix which is one of the best tracks on the mix tape in my opinion. Enjoy!
