Taylor Swift aside, Kanye had a strong 2009 and breezily outshone everyone from Drake to The-Dream to Clipse on their own tracks. Now, 18 months removed from 808s & Heartbreak, Yeezy is back on that boom-bap shit, according to DJ Premier. "His new album is strictly hard beats and rhymes," Premo told The Red Bulletin. "He's totally done with electro."
The dancey jubilance of Graduation and synth-infused psychodrama of 808s were great, but I'm all for an unadorned throwback that recalls his older work. As I told someone recently, the prospect of hearing a record full of beats like "Heart of the City," "Gangsta, Gangsta," and "Get By" is enticing. [HipHopDX]
I doubt he's going to give us classic Kanye but he is giving us classic Hip Hop.
