Kanye West & Jay-Z – That’s My B*tch (Prod. By Q-Tip)

I wake up this morning to this track in my inbox and what a way to start your day. Apparently the track is a leak from the upcoming Kanye and Jay-Z album Watch The Throne. I can’t confirm it but I’m pretty sure Elly Jackson aka La Roux is singing the hook on this track. [...]

Kanye West – Good Friday (feat. Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean & Charlie Wilson)

I’ve been holding back on the Good Friday songs simply because everyone’s been posting them so what’s the point. However, when I heard Kanye’s verse on the B.E.T. awards freestyle I had to show some love. The lyrics aren’t up anywhere and the other verses might have made you turn it off before hearing Kanye’s [...]

Kevin Casey’s Sample Saturday – William Bell and Mavis Staples et Cam’ron

On friday night, I rolled to CV Lounge with my brother Scram Jones while he did his DJ thing, and shut down the club as usual.  Around 2 a.m. Kanye came through and played 4 records from his new album. The music was inspiring, and the vibe in the small lounge was very unique, and [...]

Kevin Casey’s Sample Saturday – Curtis Mayfield et Kanye West

Xaphoon Jones – Testify (Radiohead Vs Kanye West)

This is an oldie but goodie from the first Xaphoon Jones mixtape that was released back in August of ’09. The verse used for this mash-up is from one of my favortie Kanye songs, Touch The Sky. I feel like Kanye’s career is going to be divided into two very silly parts now, pre and post [...]

Ratatat – The Remixes (G.O.V., Missy & Kanye)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say again, Skidmore is on the rise. With Micah Sloat getting his huge break in Paranormal Activity and Ratatat placing two songs on Kid CuDi’s debut I’d say we’re doing pretty good. So what better time to feature some Skidmore music on EMPT.? On top of that G.O.V. sent [...]

The Whitest Boy Alive – 1517

Music is everybody’s possession. It’s only publishers who think that people own it.” – John Lennon Lots of work to do on a Saturday so here’s a quick post for all the people who hate on sampling. Long story short Edwin Birdsong was so inspired by this beautiful girl’s figure that he felt compelled to [...]
