Can't Tell Me Nothing Official Mixtape

I promise i'm gunna get off this rap groove soon.. but not yet. .

1. Friday Morning, May 25th, 2007 (Intro)
Over the daft punk, no rapping, just talk's. Not much for me to say. Oh, the polo is versace by the way.

2. Stronger (Snippet)
All the hype has been about this track. Loops the daft punk harder, faster etc. beat with some added drums. It's a 1.30 snippet, and I love it. . Little talking at end. . he's pushing the album date forward.
"Lets get lost tonight, you could be my black kate moss tonight, play secretary, il be your boss tonight"

3. US Placers - CRS
Highlight for me.. In fact, potentially the strongest ive heard. Lupe, Pharrell and Kanye. Lupe's verse being the pick of them, although kanyes is strong and pharrell proves he can still rap. Over the Thom Yorke Eraser beat - who's vocals are left in for the chorus.. Only listened twice, but from what I can make out, it's about true fame, and how cheap it is..Download at bottom. Lupe's verse woah..

4. I ain't Even On Yet - GLC
One of kanye's apprentices, never quite sure what he's doing and why I can't find a full release by him. Bland track - and a bit dumbed.

5. Can't Tell Me Nothing
The Full Single.

6. Southside - Common
I "shared" a rip of this last week. A version first came about near the superbowl. Haven't l listened properly, but think its just repping of the south/chicago. Going to be on Commons new Album. Snippet.. but it's different to the version floating around the net.

7. The Game - Common
Another new common track. Spoke about this one before. Nice as per usual.

8. Porno (Interlude)
..........

9. Stay Up - 88 Keys (Snippet)
Features Kanye & wordsmith Malik Yusef. Probably signed to GOOD music (Kanyes imprint) as Ive never heard of them. Something to do with what goes on in the bedroom.. Contains a Borat reference.

10. In The Mood - Talib Kweli
Also coming with his album this year. Love the beat with the trumpets, not sure who though. Guest from.....Mr. West.
"Wear the night like a cloak, cause i move through the stars"

11. C.O.L.O.U.R.S - Fonzworth
Kanye West's Butler Fonzworth Bentley. Guests from Lil' Wayne and Pimp C. Not a fan of this really.. chorus gives me problems and Bentley's more talking than rapping. A skip track.

12. Pro Nails - Kid Sister
A request from DJ A-Trak for a guest verse from kanye west... Not a fan of female's rapping, but she puts UFFIE to shame. Passes me by a bit.

13. Young Folks
He never ceases to amaze me, this is over the Peter, Bjorn and John (or whoever) beat that diplo and a bunch of others recently remixed.. Another reason for that whistle line to be knocking around my head for a little while more.

14. Interviews (Interlude)
Rant at interviews and paraphrasing. With the whistling carried on from the track before.. just in case you didnt pick it up before.

15. The People - Common
My favourite new common track.
"My Daughter found nemo, I found the new Premo"

16. Get'cha Some - Big Sean
Poor beat, nice words. Who is he?
"Im in the limelight, till the point my skins green"

17. Don't Forget Them - Consequence
Another of Kanye West's GOOD crew. Had quite a nice album out a while back but its faded from my playlist pretty quickly. Gets a lot of stick for impersonating his master. Don't forget them when your rich.

18. White (On The Floor) - SaRa
From GOOD. Recently got their album, but not sure what to make of it, the talents there but it seems all a bit far fetched. I skipped.

19. Because Of You Remix - NeYo
Made a good track better. I shared this yesterday, go and find it.

20. Buy You A Drank - T Pain
Shared this as well I think. Kanye guest verse. Rumoured to be a collaboration between him and T-Pain on the album.

21. Throw Some D's (Interlude)

22. Throw Some D's Remix
The hyped remix.. Too hyped for me by now.

23. Dreaming of Your Love -Tony Williams
A r&b/soul number from someone Ive never heard of. Quite like it though, if theres a full song..

24. Magnetic Power - Really Doe
Love this track. Really Doe's the guy from the Kanye and Nas Track whose name escapes me.. off Late Registration. I'm going to research him..

25. Hater Family - PM
If your father was a hater, and your mother was a hater, you'l be a hater too.....?

Fades towards the end, I dont really like to listen to mixtapes mainly because the listen is broken up by short songs/skits/interludes. But this is better than a majority i've heard.. and is purely worth it for the Lupe/Pharrell track (Below). Can't wait for the album.. Due September 8th Originally. Now pushed forward till?
