Sometimes you stumble upon something so incredible you have to marvel, process your emotions, and then share it with everyone you can find. This is one of those times. I came across this mashup video on twitter a few weeks ago and fell in love immediately. Some was genius enough to manually layer all of Kanye’s vocals from Graduation on all of the original samples. Some are very similar to the beats ultimately delivered on the album but some are completely out of left field, and that’s the genius of Kanye, and this mix. My standouts are Can’t Tell Me Nothing (uses the Young Jeezy beat), Stronger over the (very famous) Daft Punk sample, Barry Bonds, which is very 60s stage rock, and Flashing Lights, which is even more soulful than the album version.
