Fucking Kanye, man. He can piss me off again and again, talking crazy bullshit about how tough it is to be rich and famous or making an absolute fool of himself at European awards ceremonies, but every time he puts out a new record he wins me back all the way. The latest is Can’t Tell Me Nothing, a new mix tape that dropped on the Internet over the weekend that’s already shaping up to be the hot hip-hop joint of late May and early June. I can say without reservation that you have to download it right now and spend the rest of the day listening to it at full blast, on repeat, while hanging out the windows of a vehicle and screaming.
I’m all for Kanye’s indie rock kick, but I’m afraid he’s going to take it too far with an Arcade Fire collabo or something, and the resulting blog-gasm will basically melt the Internet. Please, Kanye, watch how far you take it: I don’t know how I could survive without my daily LOLcats fix. In the meantime, I’ll be sitting here with the 1:23 cocktease of “Stronger” on nonstop repeat for the rest of the week.
