Interview :: Lazerbeak’s “Legend Recognize Legend”

Before our conversation, I listened to the new album, watched the video for DoomTree’s “Drumsticks” a million times. I’ll have to wait a month or two till he comes to play West Hollywood to shout it at him at a show. At at 28, he’s already logged a considerable amount of time in the studio, and four hundred plus some odd tracks which is definitely a professional average. Spin has even called him a child prodigy, various mainstream media corporate outlets bowed at his feet as well in previous write-ups. He was down for the exchange, and I was unbelievably ill.

Kanye West ft Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon and Charlie Wilson, “Lord Lord Lord” (MP3)

Kanye West ft. Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean and Charlie Wilson, “Good Friday” (MP3)

Kanye takes us down nostalgia drive with this new song from his G.O.O.D Friday series. It features Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean and Charlie Wilson and they all work together!

Not that I don’t like his new sounds but I think variety is the spice of life. I dig it, this song makes me feel like I’m driving down with high school friends watching the foliage line the city streets, just having a good time, relaxing, breathing etc.

New Kanye- “See Me Now” ft Beyoncé & “Mama’s Boyfriends” Live (Video & MP3)

Kanye nugget are coming so fast, this blog is starting to feel like Lucy when she couldn’t keep up with the candy wrapping machine. So here’s a two-fer. Kanye posted this new track with Charlie Wilson and Beyoncé on his blog yesterday. In truth, it’s pretty light-weight compared to the other stuff we’ve heard, but the choral samples seem to be a theme on the new record.
