New Kanye West Mixtape: Sky High
Considering how many words we've spilled following the flamboyant genius/egotist, we might need to institute an "OMG! KANYE" tag 'round these parts.
In today's Kanye "FIGJAM" West news, he, Plain Pat, and DJ Benzi have a new remix mixtape out in advance of Monday's release of 808s & Heartbreak.
It's a decent collection of remixes that's largely inessential unless you're a Kanye superfan, mostly because it doesn't include any peeks at new material aside from a remix of "Love Lockdown" that's been floating around the internet for a while. It's something you could throw on, set it and forget it Popeil-style, at a party, but it's a little disappointing when stacked up against his past mixtapes, including the two that came out around the release of his last record (the Can't Tell Me Nothing mixtape also mixed by Plain Pat, or The Graduate mixtape, which also features the hipster-pleasing A-trak mashup of "Get 'em High" and the Knife's "Heartbeats" found on Sky High).
If you're curious, you can stream the Sky High mixtape (complete with irritating flow-interrupting between-track advertisements) over at imeem. If you happen to find somewhere to download the thing, please be a friend and leave the URL in a comment.
