Yeah, can’t get enough Kanye these days, but that’s because the consciously cool rapper’s wandered into our stomping grounds with his purple-y Takashi Murakami graphic design, Zach ‘n’ Will video upgrading, TV On The Radio non-dissing, and Peter Bjorn and Johning. Fact of the matter: Kanye chooses collaborators wisely.

Already loved “Stronger” for the Daft Punk-in-a-box sampling. We love it even more now that Kanye’s Montreal DJ A-Trak started slicing and dicing. Those in the know won’t be surprised to hear Chromeo in A-Trak’s turntable maniuplation of les robots’ refrain and fierce synth/beat interjection; he’s brothers with Chromeo’s “mustachioed half.” Get yr listen on at MySpace and add it to your DJ-nights playlist.

    kw “chooses” established up n comers given to him on a mood board in front of a committee. current madonna is equally inspiring. (sarcasm) i.e. this is crap see it for what it is. you’ll look back in shame.

    Mr. West is on top of his game. Everyone takes him so seriously and that is the problem. Take him with a grain of salt(as he obviously does)and he is much easier to digest and enjoy.
