Thursday MP3s: Get Em High
Kanye West’s “The College Dropout” was overpraised and overrated. Let’s face it, readers — it just isn’t that good of an album. It’s got enough self-indulgence to make a typical Led Zeppelin album seem like a model of restraint and minimalism. Even by rap album standards, it’s got a hell of a lot of fluff and filler.
Yet there’s some very good stuff on there, too. Does it get any better than “Get Em High,” readers? Our opinion is that it does not.
Get Em High (04:49, 6.54 MB) — from “The College Dropout” (2004).
Bonus Track: Get Em High (Ratatat Remix) (05:15, 7.22 MB) — from “Ratatat Mixtape Vol. 1″ (2004).
Enjoy.
