[...] is a seductive and luring song about showing what you mean without really saying anything Martina Topley Bird’s sly, sexy, and seductive stylings. “Modern Culture” picks the tempo up and [...]

I’m with Chris. If it was someone pretending to be Kanye, he’d've posted a capslock rant in his blog by now.

Whoever it is, I LOVE IT.

Listening to it again, it sounds like the lead singer of disbanded rap rock group El Pus. Check it: http://www.youtube.com/user/HoodlumRock

Well, I think it *could* be kanye, but honestly have no idea. It isnt Jay-z, and prpbably isnt CuDi either. Definetly reminds me of B.O.B., and For the moment I dont care, it sounds amazing.

really skeptical that this is anything by kanye west.

as for what his future work will sound like though, it’s hard to predict him until you hear a leak or a single from his next project. after graduation, nobody would have expected the sound that came from him for 808s. he’s always experimented with different moods and sounds; with the dropout, he was still embracing more of his chicago roots and classic production, and on late registration he was a little deeper and more serious with his lyrics. by graduation, you could hear his success come out in every song. he was happy and on top of the world. after 808s tracks started leaking, you could see the effect the year after graduation had on him. he also experimented (auto-tune) and, through the whole album, kicked it a little old school and tribal with the roland drum machine.

for his next work, i’m thinking he might almost restart the cycle and go back to some chicago sounds with more sped up samples from songs older than he is, and rap about how great he is again. he’s done his experimenting with a new sound, and i think it’s done. he had to get it out of his system, and express himself over the things going on in his life, but he’ll move on from that. the only thing you can count on from kanye for his next work is that it will be creative, and it will sell a ton of records and have people copying his style until he comes out with something new. for now i’ll just have to settle for his existing work until pma gets some leaks for me!

It is very good, tho’ scarcely new, is tbg having another round of ‘mystery’ promos?

Good picks.

Speaking of smooth, lazy, sexy tracks, you should listen to “Go Home” by Syleena Johnson (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NCBNQ6SG) and “Pretty Little Thing” by Freddie Cruger ft. Linn (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F6KO57H5). =D

Definitely has an Outkast/Andre 3000 kind of vibe.

As to the ID of the rapper, it doesn’t sound like Kanye. I started to think it was Jay-Z towards the end of the song but then I played it again and decided that the accent was off. Maybe Kid Cudi? But why would he be releasing songs under an assumed name? Maybe one of the guys from Sa-Ra, Taz in particular.

well, if some person was pretending to be Kanye and emailing bloggers under his name, i think he would correct them via his blog..

so, that’s why I’m thinking this IS legit.

Nah, Tokin’ can’t be Kanye… he doesnt even sound like Kanye that much. Its weird that ZERO information can be found about him though. Hmmm.

Haha, that’s weird! But that Tokin Black Guy track is AWESOME! Even if it is a hoax, they hooked you up with a killer track.
