Kanye West

Vinny · 05-19-2004, 01:19 PM

Well, I'm not really a rap fiend, and I HATE bad, unoriginal rap that talks about the same thing all the other rappers talk about (i.e. 50 Cent, Dipset, etc.), but I do like GOOD rap. Anyway, recently I saw the video for Kanye West's "All Falls Down," and, though I had heard that he was good before, I was impressed by it, since I usually don't like rap very much. Are there any other songs by him that I should check out as well?

Pointless fact of the week:
In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first, and only, home run.

"Through The Wire"
"This Way" W/ Dilated Peoples
"Just Doin Me Job" Produced by KanYe, and rapped by T.I.

And you're right about 50 cent and Dipset, etc. You should listen more to a lot of southern hip-hop, and Chicago rappers, such as Twista and KanYe West

"Selfish" W/ Slum Village
"Talk About our Love" W/Brandy

Spaceship
Through the Wire
Never Let Me Down
Family Business
Last Call (12 minutes long, most of it is just him talking, but still entertaining)
Homecoming (was supposed to be on College Dropout but got cut)

Songs he produced by other people worth hearing:
"Never Change" by Jay-Z
"Heart of the City" by Jay-Z
"Lucifer" by Jay-Z
"These Walls" by Nappy Roots
"You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys
"Overnight Celebrity" by Twista (Screwed & Chopped Version kicks ass, too)
"The Truth" by Beanie Sigel

He also produced the song after "I Still Luv You" on Trap Muzik by T.I... I forget what it's called and I'm too lazy to look it up or go upstairs and grab my CD.

"Let Me Tell You Somethin'"? Hmmm, sounds like one of his beats.
