Hello.. is there anybody in there?

.. Just nod if you can hear me..

Is anyone still around anymore? I've noticed that they've done something to LJ, so the RSS feeds aren't coming through. Ah well.

I was listening to Shantan on his FBi show the other night and he played this Kayeezy track. I'm a bit mixed about this track. The OG track was kinda good for a while.. then too many people were loving it and it got hammered. I think you just need to take a break from it for a little while. Like the reason why I like listening to WSFM.. things really do work in 20 year cycles.

Kanye - Young Folks

On further research, I find out its a sample from a mixtape he released called Can't Tell Me Nothing, which is also the name of the leadup single to his new album. It has the usual guests like Common and Talib, but also Kid Sister (from his A-Trak connections?), Sa-Ra and Lil Wayne and others. Maybe you've heard 'Stronger' already.. which is just him rapping over Daft Punk's 'Harder Better Faster Stronger', which I feel is kinda crap. If you look, you'll find the remix by Diplo which is probably better because there's no Kanye giving himself a gee-up.
