Last week a new song from non other than the Louis Vuitton Don, Kanye West managed to pop up on internet sites every where, and the out come? Powerful. Kanye made an unofficial return to the mic when the song "Power" debuted online, creating a huge buzz for the M.I.A. MC. For those of you who follow hip hop know that Mr. West has been keeping a relatively low profile in the past few months since his infamous interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Music Awards last September. The track is produced by unknown Dallas-based producer The Symbolyc One, and features a sample of "21st Century Schizoid Man" by British rock group King Crimson. "Power" finds Kayne shedding in his post-808's and Heartbreak image, and getting back to his old College Dropout days. The Chicago MC uses the song as a plateau to fire off at naysayers that threw salt on his name during his hiatus, while also offering insight to why he left in the first place. The latter, Kanye raps: "I just needed time alone with my own thoughts/ Got treasures in my mind/ But couldn't open up my vaults..." The biggest target seems to be aimed at the cast of Saturday Night Live, who in the wake of Kanye's MTV Music Awards accident poked fun at the outspoken MC. "Fuck 'SNL' and the whole cast. Tell 'em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass/ More specifically they can kiss my asshole/ I'm a asshole? You niggas got jokes/ You short minded niggas' thoughts are Napoleon/ My furs is Mongolian/ My ice brought the goalies in..." If this song is a sign of things to come from Kanye's highly anticipated, forthcoming 5th album Good Ass Job, then the future looks promising. Kanye West has reportedly been in Hawaii working on his new disc with the likes of hip hops finest, which includes: Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Pharrell and RZA. The album is slated to drop some time in September.
