Work Out - J.Cole

J. Cole - Work Out by Hypetrak

J.Cole's newest single does not disappoint. The brilliant use of Kanye's “New Workout Plan" has got me even more excited for his debut album that's slated for release summer.

Mama’s Boyfriend - Kanye West

   Kanye West Mama's Boyfriend by skelton

More than a year later after Kanye's acapella performance at Facebook HQ, a produced version Mama's Boyfriend has hit the internet. It was rumored that this track was supposed to be a part of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but now that I hear the actual song, I understand why it was omitted. It is a revert back to original Kanye sounds, if you don't know what I mean, pop in Late Registration after listening to this.

*update* no wonder this record didn't sound like it fit into My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Universal Records
“The version of the Kanye West recording “Mama’s Boy” that arrived on blog sites earlier this week is entirely bogus and unsanctioned, and violates the artist’s creative intentions. As is often the unfortunate case, an unknown party or parties got a hold of Kanye West’s vocal track and added their own soundbed to it, effectively and falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions. The result in no way resembles the final song Kanye West intended his fans to hear, and he is deeply disappointed that one of the most personal, meaningful and special songs he has ever written would reach people in this way. Needless to say, measures are being taken to identify and prosecute the persons responsible for leaking this material.”
