Dead Presidents

“Ey, hey, yo, we made it to Thanksgiving,
So, hey, maybe we could make it to Christmas.
She asked me what I wished for on my wish list,
Have you ever asked your bitch for other bitches?”
Kanye West (feat. Charlie Wilson): Bound 2
“Hey, do you remember where we first met?
Okay…I don’t remember where we first met.
But, hey, admitting it the first step,
And, hey, you know ain’t nobody perfect.”
Yeezus is 10 songs full of lots of things. And, so far, I think that all of them are good.
Kanye West, Jay-Z & Big Sean: Clique
Major props to Kanye for name-dropping George Tenet and also for “Pass the refreshments, a cool, cool beverage/Everything I do need a news crew present”.
Kanye West (feat. Ghostface Killah & Pusha T): New God Flow

I’m sure I’ll miss a few. My favorites were Pusha T’s Fear of God II: Let Us Pray EP, Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne, Royce da 5’9”s Success Is Certain, Bad Meets Evil’s (Royce and Em) Hell: The Sequel, Common’s The Dreamer/The Believer, and Brotha Lynch Hung’s Coathanga Strangla (I’m still a Sactown kid at heart with love for the Garden Blocc crew!).
A few others that I felt were amongst the best: Lupe Fiasco’s Lasers, Raekwon’s Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang’s Legendary Weapons, X-Raided’s Unforgiven Volume 3: Vindication (like I said, loyalty to the Blocc), WC’s Revenge of the Barracuda, and Talib Kweli’s Gutter Rainbows. Right now, I’m really looking forward to B.o.B.’s Strange Clouds.
Kanye West (feat. Pusha T): Runaway
Ah, the perfect song for my Valentine’s Day. For all of my anonymous admirers who propose marriage on the basis of my history nerdiness, I think today’s a good day to remind everyone that no lyric has ever represented my star-crossed relationships with women as accurately as:
See I could have me a good girl/And still be addicted to them hood rats
And I just blame everything on you/At least you know that’s what I’m good at
With that said, please don’t let that stop you from flirting with me — just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
