Good Fridays

Kinda been obsessed with Kanye West lately. Not only does he operate the most hilarious twitter feed on the planet, but to be honest, if I had cash and was in shape then I'd be rocking a similar style. I respect the shit out of his new "bring back the suit" movement and holding private shows with strict dress codes. Be respectable, people. I aim to be a better dresser myself, so I gotta work on this.

Now, about 6 weeks ago he announced Good Friday on his twitter feed. What that means is that he drops a new track every Friday. This is where he's really got me, because this music is straight fire. It started with:

Bouncy, breezy... perfect for summer. Kind of a theme with some of these songs. Some very clever lines here, which I'm always a sucker for. Plus, Beyonce and all. "Uncle Charlie on the track, and Imma let you finish but I got Beyonce on the track."

First Taylor Swift joke only took two tracks.

Then:

Loved the original power, so add Jay-Z and a killer breakdown featuring the "I've Got the Power" song from the late 80s/early 90s where Kanye just KILLS IT.

Also: "in search of the truth even if it goes through Taylor Swift, tell her this..."

This is the only one I haven't been feeling, but people are creamin' over the Nicki Minaj verse at the end. I don't really like her, so meh.

This is my favorite, by far. Devil in a New Dress... just has got that vibe. Too sick. Reminds me of "Ms. Fatbooty" by Mos Def, not in the sense that it sounds similar but it just gives me that feeling. I think it's the sample in both. Also, this song has some killer lines.

And this last night. I think you had me at the motherfuckin' Biz Markie sample, but after that... this is perfect for the end of summer. Light, breezy... lovin' that piano. "Good Fridays... I hope you have a nice weekend" is a great way to close the track.

Getting shit like this once a week makes me spoiled... hope it lasts. FYI, most of those videos might be dead by the time you read this. Copyright claims flying left and right.

Prefer this to 808s and Heartbreak 100 times out of 100.
