I know I already linked to this clip of Khaled playing Kanye his latest synth-crap posse cut last week, but I figure a lot of y’all missed it and it’s pure hilarity. Do any two people in music provide more unintentional comedy than Rick Ross and Khaled? Ironically, last week the NYGZ’s dropped a remix that would’ve been Fat Taped and dissected ad infinitum had it dropped a decade ago, but will inevitably receive a modicum of attention in this fractured Internet world. Forget the NYGZ’s themselves, they’re merely serviceable. Instead, listen to Bumpy Knuckles, Ms. Afro-Puffs and Nickel-Nine murder the beat, acquitting themselves for that decade they took off. Meanwhile, Premier’s drop is a vintage boom-bap symphony, scratched hooks and dirt under your fingernail grime. Had I heard this before compiling my Best Of Muxtape, rest assured, it would’ve made the cut. You’ll like it, you know, if you’re into that whole “post Illmatic New York rap” thing. Meanwhile, someone should lock Khaled up on a speedboat and force him to hear this on repeat.
