Kanye West - Diamonds Are Forever
Hip-Hop / Kanyeezy back sampling crazy Shirley Bassey just to show that he can. “I remember I couldn’t afford a Ford Escort or even a four-track recorder. So it’s only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche, spoil yourself, that’s important” he talks breathlessly over dramatic strings and the screaming Bassey in the background. More than whets the appetite for the new album that seems to be spilling all over the internet, unfinished.

Amerie: One Thing
Hip-Hop / From the Hitch soundtrack, apparently. You’re going to hear it all summer. Big, lazy drums, guitar stabs, an easy chorus line (”it’s this one thing that got me trippin’”), and that’s a pop song, ladies and g’s. She also seems to be wearing boy’s swimming shorts in the video. You’ll probably like it against your will.
