Kanye West vs. Fall Out Boy - Blends

Do you hear that? No...? Listen close. It's the sound of the mixtape game with out quality blend CDs. Shhhhhh...(chirps out a fart).....(awkward quietness, people staring/looking at each other)...(someone blurts out..."FAG!") (Laughter ensues...) It's not laughing matter tho so appreciate it when you get your hands on a quality blend CD these days.

I am not even gonna front like I could name one solitary Fall Out Boy song or album for that matter. Classic rock...I got you, 70s, 80s, 90s, pop/hiphop/rnb...I got you but 2007 rock music...can't help you. In my best Asian convenience store worker voice..."you go now". Regardless, a blend is a blend and a mash up is a mash up and music is music. You say potato, I say....ehhh you get the picture. A big Rapmullet review welcome to PDA & His Army Of DJ's. That's classic right there...army of DJs. I applaud the marketing...onto the blends.

DJ Nice crafting a smooth sound on "I Don't Care, I Still Love Her". A nice balance of Kanye's vocals and electric guitar riffs... not too much hip hop and not too much rock. I don't know who Kingpin is but shout to him on the mix. Now I've heard the original Fall Out Boy track for "Sugar We're Going Down", well at least that hook stands out in my mind. DJ Woogie pretty much bookend Kanye and J. Conway on the beginning and end of the song respectively. "Thriller" is some ole grand sounding production. Props to Mike Wacks or Waxx for hooking up some official sounding shit. Leave it up to Crazy Chris to blend a song that starts out "Hey Chris...." I kept trying to figure out what the Fall Out Boy portion of the song was about but it escaped me. Besides Waxxs' joint Dub Floyd hooked up the other official sounding colabo with "Nobody Tough The Sky With Baby In The Corner". J. Conway got his shine on with "The Take Over", he should add a verse and flip that into a mixtape track for himself. Ceasar laced a big sound with "We Majorly Thankfl". One of the only beats to have a consistent knock to it. The sleeper has to be DJ Diggz with that joint that too long to type in the review. This gotta be my favorite joint on here Fall Out Boy wise.

This is a well executed project, props to all involved. I think the crossover appeal is crazy with this one. PDA and his army of DJs are def filling a void and some what bridging the gap between genres. I'm sure there will be detractors from both sides of the hip hop and rock spectrum but one thing you can't deny is good music.
