Kanye WestI was in Las Vegas over the weekend and right when I touched down, my twitter feed was a buzz (a tweet?) with blasts that Kanye West’s new song Power was fire. The comments were all similar and talked about how Kanye was back.
My first thought was that I liked his segue into heartbreak pop, 808s & Heartbreak. While I thought the album was a bit inconsistent, it was also courageous, honest, and real. The dude’s heart was broken and he was expressing himself.
I do look forward to the Kanye we saw on his first three near classic albums. But I also hope that he continues to be creative and different.
My main man Big Money Mike hipped me to the song earlier today and I do have to say that it’s pure Kanye and tells me that Good Ass Job is going to be everything we expect and more.
The background chants in the early mixes I heard overwhelmed his voice, but this new mixed version evens it out.
