Playlist? Yes.

Got bored and made a playlist. This was my post-NC2A championship therapy. Put this together using MySpace/imeem.

When can you say is the last time you made something on MySpace?

Details on Kanye West's "Good Ass Job" Emerge; Rap World Rejoices



Details have been slowly coming out about 'Ye's new album. Rumored collaborators floating around include RZA, Q-Tip and Pete Rock for production and Big Sean, Dwele, Drake and Clipse for some verses. So far Q-Tip and Dwele have confirmed they are in fact working on the project and Sean's been on record as contributing, I believe out in Hawaii, as well.

No real surprises on the cameos except for the possibilities of RZA and Pete Rock contributing. And really besides this lineup, all rap fans could really wish for is a Jay-Z appearance, and personally I'd like a Consequence and Mos Def to pop back up in the tracklist somewhere. A verse by Lupe would be dope too. The mixtape Lupe though.

Good Ass Job appears to be lining up to be a classic hip-hop album. I've told anyone that would listen for the past year and a half that 808s is the best thing to happen to hip-hop music, and I think the product that will be GAJ will show that. But that is for another blog post another day.

Mixtape - Asher Roth "Seared Foie Gras with Quince and Cranberry"

I've promised myself to start blogging again and maybe this will kick-start it. I'll be reviewing this come next Thursday for the Daily Tar Heel.

I'm definitely feeling "Vagitables" where he goes in over some Little Brother/9th Wonder.
