Posted: 9/12/2007A review of Graduation by TarvoldVictory
Kanye is definitely an artist. The way he incorporates samples of the old with contemporary sound is amazing. He is a pioneer of the new sound hip hop needed. Artists like Common have been around long before Kanye, but he is the one that brought this intellectual hip hop to the mainstream. But............ The new sound in hip hop these days seems to be going more towards the electronica genre than anything else. To think that the word electronica and hip hop together now represent a new sound would make someone laugh a few years back. Kanye Wests new single "Stronger" sounds very much like this new sound in hip hop, but im going to have to apologize for Ye because Timbaland first introduced this sound about a year ago. Can anyone remember a year back when Justin Timberlakes Futuresexlovesound hit the internet? When people first heard "Sexy back" they wondered what the hell it was. Was it Madonna? Or a new emerging female artist. Nope. It came from the mind of arguably the best hip hop producer of our time, Timbaland. He first introduced this sound many will follow this new sound. So sorry Mr. West, even though the track is hot, most of the credit goes to him. I still support Kanye as well as 50. I actually bought both of their albums yesterday.
