Kanye West

UPDATE: This track is fakity fake fake fake. The vocal track from July 2010 was laid over an anonymous producer's beats and released under the false pretenses that it was an official Kanye track, leading to a statement from Island Def Jam revealing its lack of credibility (via Sound of the City). Sorry, folks!

Now this sounds like the Kanye West of yesteryear. No fanfare, no superfluous amounts of guests, no drama. Just a beat joined by an augmented sample loop and Ye spitting about average life shit. I'm sure many can relate on the topic he addresses in "Mama's Boyfriend," namely not caring for who your mom dates after she and your dad are no more. He first introduced the public to this track as an a cappella performance at the Facebook HQ last July, but now it's been wrapped up tight and shipped out as an unclaimed b-side to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
