"Young Jeezy ft. Kanye West - Put On"

Source - Kanye West's Blog

You Ready For Some Fire Right? Here Is The Killer New Single From Young Jeezy.


Put On is a club banger that is sure to be grabbing the limelight on urban radio very soon. The track features Mr Kanye West, as well as being produced by the man himself, he also chose to use an 'autotuner' for the song, but to be fair, it sounds slick.

I have never been an 'album fan' of Jeezy, but I am really feeling this track, as well as his various collaborations over the years. He is a guy that always seems to grab critical acclaim as well as love from fellow artists. While Put On feels very radio friendly, I love it!

"Kanye West ft. Chris Martin - Homecoming" (Video)

Yet Another Fresh Video From Kanye West.

Homecoming features the UK's very own Chris Martin, who incidentally, bores me to death. Still, it's an obvious single choice & a good radio joint, plus the video kicks ass. As usual with Kanye, it's stylish, conceptual & has an air of all round coolness.

It's bugged me for a while, just why didn't the UK get Flashing Lights as it's latest single, although urban radio plays both tracks, I feel a little ripped off at getting second best. But, who am I to judge a genius?

"Estelle ft. Kanye West - American Boy" (Video)

Here Is The New Video From UK's Finest - Estelle, With Her Current Single - American Boy.

I have been anticipating Estelle's new album; Shine, for some time now, & with this track doing it's thing, that anticipation only grows. I'm loving this song so much & now the video adds to the style of the track.

This is a real change in direction for Estelle, she has moved one from her earlier street feel, to a more polished, professional sound, reflecting her time on American shores. Kanye's part in this song is amazing, I love the fact that he put on a British accent & uses the very English word - Rubbish!

Estelle is looking fresh to death in this video, she has wicked style & sound that may make her a huge UK export to the USA. I also laugh at the fact that no US lyric site knows what Estelle says before Kanye's rap - 'Tell 'Em What Gwan Blud'.

"Kanye West - Hey Mama" (Grammy Mix)

Source - Chris-Pix

For Those Who Saw The Emotional Performance By Kanye West At This Years Grammy Awards, Here Is The Studio Version Of His Rendition Of Hey Mama.


The song obviously means a lot to Kanye, after the recent passing of his mother, but to be fair, it doesn't match up to the original IMO. Hey Mama was one of my favourites from Late Registration, but if this version was on the alum, I don't think I would have been so enthusiastic about it.

Kanye West - Grammy Awards 2008

My Number #1 Highlight From This Years Grammy Awards, Was Definitely This Outstanding Performance From The Great Show-Man; Mr Kanye West.

Kanye performed his recent smash hit - Stronger - as well as a special rendition of - Hey Mama - which was obviously dedicated to his recently deceased mother; Doctor Donda West. It is so good to see that Kanye remained true to the sample he used in Stronger, sticking to the futuristic theme of Daft Punks original.

West was totally on form with this one, he looked so fly with those glasses & filled his performance with a huge amount of energy. If you missed the Grammy show, you need to see this, summed up in one word - P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L.

"Kanye West ft. Dwele - Flashing Lights" (Video)

Here Is The Official Video (or part of it, I'm not sure) For Kanye West's Latest US Single - Flashing Lights.

I feel this is one of the best tracks Kanye has ever made, it's atmospheric beats, match perfectly with West's slow rhythmic flow. You can really 'feel' Kanye on Flashing Lights, it's a shame it wasn't used as a world single, whose decision was that? The added vocals of Dwele, make for a possible classic hit.

My honest reaction to the video was; 'hmmm', that was the only thing I could think of. I really like it, & I'm sure Kanye is trying to say something, but I can't think what it is. Still, a sexy killer of a woman is always a good thing.

"Kanye West ft. Dwele & R. Kelly - Flashing Lights" (Remix)

Source - The Regulators

Here Is A New Remix To Kanye West's Current US Single; Flashing Lights.

R. Kelly lends some R&B vocals to this mix, end result is pretty middle of the road , laugh at Kells line - 'Flash Your Light On Me'.

I'm really not an R. Kelly fan, but if you are you will probably love it. I'm feeling the original much more, it's another epic Kanye track.
