Kanye West continues to help out his lesser minions–this time rolling with G.O.O.D. Music’s 2 Chainz. Of course, 2 Chainz never really has much of value to add to the tracks he is featured on, but luckily the beat on “Birthday Song” is absolutely incredible. Hell, even Kanye’s verse was pretty lame, but that monstrous production keeps us from skipping the track completely. Anyway, you can decide for yourself by listening down below. Clean version for now. Based on a T.R.U. Story is due out Aug. 14.
Andrew’s thoughts:
1. Is anyone actually listening to what 2 Chainz is saying?
2. Doesn’t this sound like Hudson Mohawke was involved?
3. Is that a guitar solo? That’s a guitar solo.
4. 2 Chainz is saying some stupid crap here, but it sounds great. Why? That beat.
5. THAT BEAT. The changes in the instrumentals are nuts. Seriously, this is next level stuff.
Beat is KNOCKIN. And I, for one, am listening to what 2 Chainz is saying. He’s speaking to me on another level. Just yesterday I told a friend to sprinkle my ashes at a Vegas strip club, and BOOM. Today 2 Chainz is saying bury him in a booty club. It’s kismet.
