Kanye West: "Power" (Remix) f. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz

9:29 a.m. · August 20, 2010 · by Andrew Martin

Kanye West teased the hell out of this track via Twitter over the past week or so. For example, we were supposed to hear it like a week ago when he said he was finishing it up. Then he posted a picture of him hanging with Kobe Bryant, Swizz Beatz, and Mos Def, the last of whom apparently inspired Ye on here. And you can hear that inspiration on the last verse of the "Power" remix as he (finally) spits one hell of a verse. It's not just your typical remix here either, though it sounds that way at first during Jay-Z's solid guest spot. During Kanye's track-ending rhymes, Beatz flips Snap!'s "The Power" to jazz things up a bit. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely feeling this more than the original.

Stream the track below. Kanye's still untitled fifth LP is due out this November.
