NEW MUSIC FROM KANYE & AMY WINEHOUSE W/ JAY-Z

Thursday, May 17, 2007

kanye.jpg

Kanye had to do a little redeeming of himself because these past couple of remixes he’s gotten on (which not so randomly have also been songs that he wishes he’d made) have been really wack to me. Although, automatically, I’m not drawn into this song, I can see the appeal it could have to his fans. However, I don’t think that this is single material at all. It just doesn’t take me to a place that Kanye West’s other singles have - it honestly, dones’t even sound like one of his productions. The song really doesn’t do anything for me. Lyrically, it doesn’t really do anything for me, and as far as the production, it doesn’t really give me what I need. And what’s up with Jeezy in the background? We’ll see…

So, I love Amy Winehouse. And I’m a Jay-Z fan. So for me, this just feels right. Automatically, “Rehab” to me was an outstanding song - it was just something refreshing to me. Despite all of the Lauryn Hill vocal comparisons, I still think that Amy brought something different vocally to the table. I’ve always said on CL that a remix should improve upon the song, and I think that Jay-Z really does something with the track, even with all of his call-outs and retorts. I’m really pleased with Amy Winehouse’s project. I think that people will eat this up.

I heard it and it’s Blah. The rappers are not necesary.

Amy seriously needs to reconsider going to rehab, cuz she is one hot ass mess of a broad. Being a drug addict is not cute.

YOU GUYS JUST GOTTA GET USED TO THIS SONG, HEAR IT A COUPLE MO’ TIMES, THAT’S ALL…AT FIRST I HATED ‘UMBRELLA’ BY RIHANNA, BUT MY FRIEND PLAYED IT SO MUCH WHEN I WAS AROUND AND EVEN WHEN I CALLED HER, SHE HAD THE SONG AS A CALLER TUNE ON HER T-MOBILE PHONE. TALK ABOUT IRRITATING, BUT I GREW TO LIKE THE SONG…A LITTLE. LOL.
I LIKE HOW KANYE USES SINGER’S SINGING VERSES AS HIS CHORUS, LIKE THE ‘DREAMIN’ JOINT HE DID WITH NAS. WHAT YA’LL THINK?

Amy Winehouse is talented and while her physical appearance may be off-putting, I don’t believe it should supercede her talent. I love both of her CDs but “Frank” is more gritty and eclectic in my opinion. I hope that she does find help for her addiction because it would be extremely sad to lose another human being to alcohol abuse. Also, sometimes rhyming on a song is not necessary and instead of adding something special it comes across as pointless.

Kanye…ish is alright…But why must J feel like he has to try to get his jump off on everything that is brand spankin new? AKA…..Amy Winehouse? This would had been better served w/o Jay–FO REAL THO!

the Amy ‘The Gap’ Winehouse remix was tight, it’s kind of haawwtt shit. it’s the same song from her, she could have switched it up, but the songs still tight, but wtf it took 2 verses and 3 choruses for Jay to even say YO! but it’s an upgrade for him because everything he puts out solo or as a featured artist has been wack!!

Kanye’s song was wack, it sounds like an album filler from the second wack ass cd. hopefully that’s not on the cd because it’s THE WACKEST!! he really needs to switch his shit up and upgrade himself, he’s hella boring now. at first he claimed to not be a rapper that didn’t talk about money and cars and shit, but that’s all he’s doing right now.

lmaoooo @ Belle being first but typing second and Buck being fourth but typing first.

Love Amy Winehouse Rehab remix. Her voice is so unique for our times. Have y’all heard her song “Me & Mr Jones”? Rumor has it that Mr. Jones is Nasir “Nas” Jones. I don’t know how true that is, but it’s quite an interesting song.

cosign with ne’, even though her shit is on the lawn lmaoo, something different needed to be done with the song, it’s not bad since the original song is the shit and jay’s verse isn’t wack, just something else is needed, that remix is the original version with jay-z, like her song with ghostface on it, yet ghostface adds somthing to that song that’s cool to me

the kanye song is fire, people act like they can’t seperate what a person does from who they are! r. kelly pisses on kids & ya’ll still stepping in the name of love! just appreciate it for what it is. the amy song was ok i might like it more with a different beat but at this point jay can do no wrong on the mic

I really digging the Kanye joint…….ummm no scratch that shit I just heard Young Jeezy in the background….damn fuck the planned on download I was gonna makee

Damn Jeezy always fucking shit up!

Amy Is a fucking crackhead..Her teeth falling out…I serously NO joke think she’s smoking crack..she’s bony as hell ,her teeth falling out and she cancelled shows just to go drink and probably hit the crack pipe just like a crackhead…

Die or Rehab..the choice she got left to make!

LMAO #28 I was thinking the same thing!

But I wasnt gonna say it…Yeah its too much “me” in the music review critiques…An objective view would probably be best …because I really didnt even process the review you made because all I could think about was he keeps saying “me, me, me”

All I could picture was Oprah saying “And how do you feel about that”

Does it count as a remix if they just add-a-rapper? Jay didn’t do anything more on this song, so I don’t even see why he was necessary. (and sorry b, but I co-sign with #28)

MEKA

Thursday, May 17, 2007 /

I mean its a remix the song was hot before and it is still hot now imo

Some Jay Z lines that stuck out to me

“Base blaring out of my system tha’ts my idea of detox”

“So I’m addicted to Britney, Whitney and Bobby,
Betty Ford ain’t ready for us ain’t nothing to stop me
Oh look he’s relapsing just look how he’s rapping
Everytime I try to get out it pulls me back in”

“My Heron flows more deeper than Marylin’s nose
I’m a OD ’til I’m in peace like Anna Nicole”

Thursday, May 17, 2007 /

the kanye track is co-produced by DJ Toomp (i.e. “What you know” - TI and “I Luv It” - Jeezy)…that’s why it sounds different from most of his productions. hot song…but, kanye always leaks material and doesn’t put it on the final album…wouldn’t be surprised if the same happened here.

I was expecting a lil more from the remix Of Rehab with Jay-Z. I’m in love with Amy’s Album and I think the song should not have been touched if it was gonna sound the same? Big ups to Jay Blessing the track though. I’m more interested in the collab she will be doing with Prince.

As a Kanye fan the song is kinda like his old ones. The use of another track as backing is something I’m used to from him. But…it’s kinda weak. If it wasn’t for the subject matter I wouldn’t really feel the song. But man I can’t wait to get my money right and then my parents can’t tell ME nothing.

Kanye - I’m slightly digging the Kanye song, not the big bang i was expecting but enough to wet my appetite for a new album. He has a lot to live up to though because w/ songs like “we major” late registration was my shit!

Amy - I don’t know, I’m just not into “rehab” and Jay-z on the track did nothing to change that? I like Amy’s voice just fine, but the song is so basic. Aside from being catchy I don’t get what all the fuss is about and I still don’t get the Lauren comparisons. Musically, lyrically and stylistacally their in completely different places. I listen to this and think about songs like “ex-factor” and “lost ones” - i see lauren in a totally different category. I think people just like to compare to much. Amy is Amy and Lauren is Lauren. I’m still waiting for a lauren CD :-(

The Rehab remix sounds fine… it aint bad. I don’t know why some of yall feel like you have to hate so much. I mean damn it sounds better than most of the songs that are in the top 10 of the Billboard charts. The song is different and if yall actually listen to some of Jay’s lines you would appreciate it a little bit more cuz some of his lines are hot. Plus the remix will give Amy’s music some more added attention, since a lot of people don’t know her music that well here in the states. And I don’t even wanna get into some of the comments that people are making about that girl’s looks - well maybe I will.

Truth is, the people who can sing are the ones who get overlooked the most in this country. More people care about Rihanna’s non-singing ass than those other singers who can actually sing. I mean if anyone has actually listened to her cds, you would understand how much talent Amy has. She’s actually saying something in her music and she puts it all out there and doesn’t hold back. There are a lot of talented singers out there and people tend to lose focus on the talent that person has and rather pay attention to things like she might not be that good-looking. And I know that there is a huge possibility that Amy does do drugs. But that doesn’t negate from the fact that her music is brillant and that her voice sounds amazing. The emotion that she puts into her music - it’s like a breath of fresh air. And I wish more singers out there would try to do it, well it is kinda impossible to do if you can’t even sing in the first place. People are so obsessed with pointing out that she has a tooth missing rather than focusing on the content of her lyrics. Her health is important but at the same time you could still appreciate her music for what it is.

I’m not saying that you have to like the song, I’m just saying that when 10 people say that they don’t like it 50 more people will hop on board that damn train just because it seems like its the cool thing to do.

#64 STFU! Every celeb is criticized for how they look, it comes with the territory, AMY is no different. I don’t care if she is talented, she looks a HOT ASS MESS. Drug addicts should not, and need not to be glorified, plain and simple. Her ass needs to check into rehab asap.
