early graduation present
Kanye West's Graduation is shaping up to be the premier album of 2007 (it's only rival might be Common's Finding Forever, ironically with West's production talents). i was recently searching for any new information on the album after listening to his "Can't Tell Me Nothing" single for the 26th time today. i saw his Hype Williams-directed vid on Youtube yesterday thinking to myself, "damn, he already has a vid for this shit?" i kind of like the theme of the video in the sense that there isn't a theme at all. the video is suppose to evoke you listening to the lyrics rather than being amazed at the scenery. the club lights add to DJ Toomp's assisted atmospheric sound scapes. could it be Kon went the south route cause it's the flavor-of-the-month or because it's safe to the radio listeners? uh, maybe, but not entirely. i think it just might be he's a fan of Toomp's catalog (he's honestly the most consistent and decorated producer from the south right now). anyway, i read Kanye had a new mixtape, something like the prequel to Grad that was out. after searching i came across kanyetalk.com and in their forums they had the link. i think i'll save you the time by providing the link here. the mixtape is called Can't Tell Me Nothing (The Official Mixtape, Mixed by Plain Pat) and features tracks from the upcoming album, collaborative efforts with people like Lupe, Pharrell & Talib Kweli, and spots from his G.O.O.D. Music artists Common, Consequence, GLC, & Fonsworth. i'm listening to the tape as i write this so i can't give an opinion on it. if you're a Kon fan or just looking for something new, here's the link. enjoy:
