Jean Grae - Blame Game

You might not have heard of Jean Grae, but she's officially better than Kanye. Proof? This song.

It's off her latest free mixtape, built off of a Kanye instrumental and chorus, which in turn sampled Aphex Twin's piano loop.

The lyrics are exceptional - metaphor-laden, intricate, by turns obscure and straightforward (my favourite line: I'm facing this February with less morals//Less normal, more Nellie Olesen, less Laura//Had it with explorations, less Dora. Yes, she just name dropped Little House On The Prarie, and Dora The Explorer. Kaboom!)

I'd expect nothing less from her. She's one of my most favourite artists. Even her tweets are clever.

Kanye West - All Of The Lights

The intro to this is quite likely to induce seizures, but it's worth it because afterward you get to see almost all of Rihanna's boobs. She's so hot she almost even gets away with plastic hair. Almost.

The song itself is pretty hawt too - Kanye doing his thing of pushing pop to its limits, and sounding totally unique. The lyrics are stupid, apart from Rihanna's hook, which is definitely chat-up-line/marriage proposal of the week. But if you've ever wanted to hear electro marching-band hip-pop, this is your chance. And there's a bit of kuduro flavour to the drums - I'm not the only international bass ambassador.
