Three Picks off Kanye's Graduation

I have posted Stronger before. Which is really fucking good. And I have picked three other songs off Graduation that aren't the singles. {which rules out; Can't Tell Me Nothing, The Good Life and Stronger}.

Drunk and Hot Girls featuring Mos Def Seriously, Mos Def is great, always.

Flash Lights featuring Dwele I read in some article what song is being sampled here. But I forgot. But my point is this song is fucking great.

Homecoming featuring Chris Martin I originally cringed at the thought of Chris Martin, of Coldplay, collabing with Kanye. But it work. For reals.

12 Songs. Some standards and classics. Of sorts.

I bought the other day Shirley Bassey's greatest hits collection. I love her voice. I wish there was more to the album. But I pulled my favorites off of it.

Big Spender by Shirley Bassey
Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey
(Where Do I Begin) Love Story (Away Team Remix) by Shirley Bassey

Keeping in with Miss Bassey, I picked some of the standouts off of the Verve Remixed Collection.

Verve Records was home of the some of coolest acts around. It's amazing all the classic songs that were on the label. I highly recommend getting the set, it features the Verve classics, remixed by a wide variety of artists. After the success of Remix, they released an Unmixed version shortly after. I need to buy that one.

50 Cent said that if Kanye outsells him when their albums drop on the same day, he will stop making records. Now, I would like to say both are releasing albums on September 11th. And I would hope everyone buys four copies of Kanye's album, because face it, his beats are so much better. And I think a music industry without Fiddy is most desirable.

Sample Plate; Kanye West

Some people just don't like Kanye. Which I can understand at times because sometimes hip hop doesn't do it for people. Or they don't think Kanye qualifies as hip hop, because he is first a producer.

Now, there people need to remember that this is what Puff Daddy did. Like before numerous name changes. And I think Kanye is certainly much better than Puff. At least Kanye did not fuck Led Zep into the ground.

Enjoy my 3 favorite tracks.

Stronger by Kanye West
I do think he used Daft Punk to their full here.

The New Work Out Plan by Kanye West
I always wanna tell people with bad breath to "cover their mouth like you got SARS."

Touch the Sky by Kanye West
I didn't know this was a sample until I heard the song before the credits in Bend It Like Beckham
