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.

1. This is NOT a Kanye West production… which is why it doesn’t sound like him.
2. DJ Toomp produced this… which is why Jeezy is on it. Apparently a version will come out with Jeezy soon enough.
3. If they are paid attention to… people will know that Kanye put it down NICE lyrically on this joint. Shit is fire.

And as far as Amy… I love the chick and her album is hot. I can’t stand to look at any more pictures of her tho lol… she is disgusting. Her music is hot tho, and Hov put it down as always on this joint!

I’m so over Kanye. I don’t think there’s anything he could do to make me a fan again. He can take that swole jaw and over-inflated ego and go jump.

I was listening to the Kanye track, I find that a lot artist feel that urge to colab with an another artist that blew up, to solidify their tracks! Shit sometimes it is best to stick to what you are good at an enhance that part of your artistry1 Kanye has that talent to move the crowd but he needs to leave jezzy out the damn equation! As for Amy she and Kanye can cook up some good shit if they really listen to each others vibes and let it flow!

i’m a music lover and always up for the new stuff, but amy is starting to get on my nerves. she’s alright but i honestly am not feeling anything special about her and i can’t check the hype. though i had dug alanis morrisett back in the day, i find amy kinda trashy and classless on a whole nother level.

to answer someone’s question about the “me and mr. jones” — i heard that Amy has a weird obsession with him, and that she’d LIKE to get with him. Nas will be Nas, but he don’t strike me as a “i go for white girl crack heads who wanna be black” type chicks but you never know. she wouldn’t dare fuck with Kelis,though I hear K is down with threesomes.

lauryn hill will FOREVER be the princess of Hip Hop/R&B though sadly, we may never see new material from her ever again. that’s some tragic shit right there. no white or black chick could ever be so eclectic, cool, and talented. To those losers who want to compair this chick with L Boogie, get off of Amy’s crack pipe yo. stop trippin.

Kanye is still souding like the ‘dogs bollocks’ to me!

The way he bends them lyrics to flow works well.

He still tight!!! He still a ‘Top Gezzer’

Ya’ll just bitter because people are comparing Amy to Lauryn. Don’t get mad at Amy, she has nothing to do with it. Her music is just as deep as Lauryn and I love Lauryn, but it is the truth. No, she wont EVER touch Lauryn because Lauryn is LAURYN. But, Amy music is far from just “okay”, and I’m starting to feel people are saying shit like that because she’s not Black. SO THE FUCK WHAT??? And so what she’s a drunk or a drug user, so what? Her music sound much better than these people who are sober. People need to get over the way somebody look and focus on what makes the package authentic.

I’m NOT feeling that Jay Z remix, he didn’t bring the heat. It was much heavier before, all he done is dilute it. I’m well dissapointed.

Anyway you guys stateside make sure and keep our London girl on top. You gotta admit her album is the Nutssssssssssss!

I think the people that are so negative towards Amy Winehouse Hasn’t fully listened to all of her music. She pours her heart out on almost every song. If people would look more deeply than just on the surface there would be more variety in music today. Don’t get me wrong I Love HIP HOP but sometimes you just get tired of Pop, Lock and Droppin’ It.

I can do without Jay on the Amy Winehouse remix. I really ain’t feeling him on that. I can see where they were trying to go but somebody else’s lyrical ability would have been better suited. GO HOME JAY-Z…lol

THe Kanye joint is okay. I can deal with it. It’s a different sound from him. I likes it :-)

HOV is suppose to be signing this girl, right? I’m sorry, but i’m not feeling this song, and HOV got a history of signing non talent. I mean, for real that girl, *thinking*, Teaiira Marie was a one hit wonder. Then, Rihanna can’t sing, but has a good image which is keeping her in the game. I don’t know about this Amy broad…but only time will tell, so i’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Hahahahaha Jay-z wanna rap on everything, no way that sound like a song to rap on :/ I used 2 really like Jay-z but what he tryna do?

Next he wanna be try to rap to pop music!!!

Kanye West song make sense but that sound dull and boring. Just my quick thought. BTW that pic of kanye kinda weird if u look closely into his eyes throught the glasses looks like he crazy mad. O.O

i’m diggin the kanye as an album track..was sorta thrown by the jeezy vocals..dig some digging and discovered the track was done by DJ Toomp(what you know about that- T.I.P.)so it kinda made sense..looking foward to the album

for the people that’s saying jay need to go some where and stop rapping how about yall stop listening to rap cause obviously you don’t know shit about it as many people who remixed this song and yall gon hute and holler about how it was a classic already and why he wanna be on it she don had 6 rappers on it already did yall by any chance peep how many people remixed show me what you got? hell even trey songz rapped on it go open a book then return and listen to what he said again

ANNA…EXACTLY…Jay rapping on the track will give Amy some more exposure in North America. The song wasn’t changed because it is perfect the way it is.

I agree with you about North Americans being obsessed with looks. How else would you explain the best singer (Melinda Doolittle) on American Idol being voted off only to be left with teeny boppers or band boy types?

I luv how the haters are actually doing their job on this site. Since some of these individuals like to say they hate this, Jay should have not done this, or Jay messed it up etc. Plz someone who is on this site talking ish….WHAT ARE YOU DOING? AND WHAT HAVE YOU EVER ACCOMPLISHED? SELL AT LEAST ONE MIL AND THEN YOU CAN TALK. Jay been doing this since 96 and I really don’t think he needs any help from you haters. Get your weight up then talk ish.

I think this song is good I think you just have to listen to it more than once to really get into it. Not a big fan of kanye cockiness and his stupid award show stunts but he is one of the best rappers out right now so I can’t hate on his hustle. Just calm that ish down West we know you good but that doesn’t mean you going to win all the time….

I’m in love with Amy’s CD, her voice is amazing to me. I am glad that Jay got on the remix even though it wasn’t necessary but hopefully it will garner her album some more attention. I don’t get the Lauren Hill comparisons at all as far as their style or even the sound of their voices, the only thing I see them having in common is that they are both two brilliant writers.

Its just so funny to me how people can sit on here and criticize her for being a drunk, and an achoholic when you probably support music that endoreses drunkiness, dance to and buy music by men with mysoginistic lyrics, oh and of course support the projects of pedophiles. I mean I don’t support the fact that she drinks or does drugs, or whatever but at least she is not making it seem like the cool thing to do. Thats my opinion anyways and just like assholes everyone has one. I’m just saying though, give the chic credit where it is due. Someone mentioned the song “Me and Mr. Jones” that song is that deal her voice sounds so rich and thick. I have to say that I have been waiting for this kind of album for a long time, and I am pleased!

That Lauren Hill comparison is stupid. Journalists are just lazy. They have to compare her to someone right?
That song “Me & Mr Jones” isnt about Nas. Mr Jones is the man she is having an affair with. Like Me and Mrs Jones? Thats what the whole album is about, an affiar that didnt work out.

136.

Anna

Saturday, May 19, 2007 /

uhhh, the song is about Nas. Have you even listened to the lyrics of that song? Did you miss the part where she said “you made me miss that Slick Rick gig?” Basically its like shes saying that I won’t let anyone make me miss any Nas performance, like I chose you over a Slick Rick performance but it’s not gonna happen again when it comes to Nas. And then she even mentions Nas’ b-day in the song - “9 and 14.” And have you heard one of her songs “In my Bed?” She sampled Nas’ song “Made you Look.” Its kinda obvious that its about him. She has this real fascination over him. And she’s said many times in interviews that she was a huge fan of his.

The Kanye West song is HOT!

I LOVE Amy Winehouse, I LOVE LOVE Jay Z and I love ALL that he said in his rap but I agree for this to be a remix shouldnt the beat have been different Jay!?!

I also agree that IT BOILS MY BLOOD that non singing girls like Rihanna get all the fame when REAL SINGERS!!!! like Amy Winhouse, Chrisette and Jazmine Sullivan get the back seat….what is really going on.

Oh yeah JAY on a personal note…dude I really hope you not sneakin around on Beyonce for somebody like Rihanna…I mean dude that’s NOT an upgrade!

how could you not like “rehab” with hova. its already a catchy song and adding jay on it made it even better. i dont know what ppl are talking about his voice not fitting the beat. if you’re thinking that maybe you should listen to it again. its a jazz/heavy beat and jay being our modern-day improvizing musician makes it perfect. the only song his voice doesnt fit are like chopped and screwed shit. amy is doin her thing, coming out with stuff that doesnt sound like anything out right now.

stop hatin on kanye. the same ppl that hate on kayne are the same ppl bumpin his shit when it comes out. nuff said.
