Kanye hasn't tweeted much since his "G.O.O.D. Friday's" tweets. He declared that he will drop a new song every Friday until Christmas. That's a bold statement for an artist with a new album
(Dark Twisted Fantasy) due November 16th, and a performance at the 2010 VMA's. Call me a pessimist, but I'm not sure the upcoming Fridays are going to be as good as Kanye claims.
In Kanye's defense, he's had a good track record with dropping songs he tweets about. He promised a new song on Angie's show, and the next day the world was vibin to "See Me Now." There was also the release of the Power remix. He tweeted it was coming on a Friday and it did. It might have been a week after the Friday he claimed, but it's all good. You can't rush greatness.
That's my problem. You can't rush greatness. I listen to the Power Remix, and it's too much. All Kanye had to do was add new verses to the structure of the song, and it would have been a wrap. I was expecting Jay on the first verse, then Kanye spazzing on the next two. Case closed. Jay-Z's fire verse gets interrupted by the chorus and a new spin on the part of the original version I couldn't understand. Jay-Z kills his verse, then Kanye kills the second verse. It really is an inspirational song. Is that John Legend singing in the background? I do like the way the original beat sounds different. This song is feeling like an official remix.
Then Swizz Beatz shows up. Why? It seems Swizz Beats new thing is he produces a five minute song for about 2 minutes. He did it on Drake's song "Fancy," and he does it here. It seems to be working. He's got Kanye tweeting that Swizz Beats is the best producer of all time. I don't know about that, but Kanye does go in on the Swizz Beats track. This song is a DJ's dream right here. Let's ignore the remixes by Jae Millz, Young Jeezy, and others to just play verses from Kanye West and Jay-Z. Sounds like a party to me. Overall I give the song an 8 for the lyrics and overall message.
I can't give the song a 10 because I've been on a really chill vibe with my music lately. Even since I heard "Shades" by Diddy featuring Lil Wayne and Justin Timberlake, it's been on repeat. It's been my party and hangover music. This song is infectious. I'm listening to it right now. I've been sipping Ciroc Red Berry as a result. That probably explains why I'm so broke.
