Good Enough for Kanye

Only two days in and this ‘blog has taken a decidedly hip-hop turn. That’s okay; we’ve got time.

Today’s track is described by Mr. West as “DOPE!!” I tend to agree. The hook may or may not be as infectious as the whistle bit from 2006’s “Young Folks,” but thanks in part to a huge beat, this track on the whole rings rather meatier in my ear. And I like that. So savor it:

“Nothing to Worry About”

Then go check out http://www.peterbjornandjohn.com/ to download another preview of PB&J’s forthcoming "Living Thing" LP, "Lay it Down." Then take a look at that sweet, sweet ‘stache. Is Kanye still rocking his? Between the two of them, they could make a strong case for the continuation of that trend in ‘09.

Bonus track: DJ Mei-Lwun - “Jesus Walked Back and He’s Black”
