1. Kanye’s ‘Power’ is one of the best singles of the year - absolutely brilliant. Somehow, he manages to musically match his hubris with powerful production. Clattering drums, driving bass, Greg Lake sample - I love it.
2. “Everybody we rollin’ / With some light skinned girls, and some Kelly Rowlands” is, however, a painfully shitty line.
3. ‘Hard in da Paint’ by Waka Flocka Flame is also great, even in spite of possibly the worst name hip-hop has ever seen.
