UPDATE 2: The links have been updated, so cop the songs.
UPDATE: So apparently people either loved or hated “Young Folks”. Maybe you guys would like his collabo with ATG-favorite Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell on the very same mixtape, under the alias CRS, or Child Rebel Soldiers. Kanye spends more time behind the boards on this one (something many of you so eloquently recommended in the comments), sampling Thom Yorke’s “The Eraser”. Lupe steals the show, and props to Chris from GvB for getting this up before me.
MP3: CRS (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, & Pharrell) – “Us Placers”
Kanye West collaborated with Maroon 5, called Franz Ferdinand “white crunk” and remixed Fall Out Boy. Even after all that, who would’ve guessed that he’d start sampling Peter Bjorn & John and Daft Punk? Well guess what; on his new Mixtape, Can’t Tell Me Nothing, named after the newest single from his newest effort, Graduation, ‘Ye does just that, borrowing the beats from PB&J’s “Young Folks” and Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”. I just checked hype machine, and these songs haven’t been posted anywhere yet, so consider this an ATG exclusive. God Bless Mr. West.

Absolutely awful song.

Thanks for the samples. This Daft shit is unbearable. Can’t believe they agreed to let him mess up a great song. I dropped on these on my site and gave you guys a nod. Just found ATG today, pretty strong and will check back!

the peter bjorn and john is great. dont like the daft punk as much….thanks!
May 28, 2007 at 2:10 am
I love “Young Folks” by Peter, Bjorn and John – it’s an amazing song!
May 28, 2007 at 7:53 am
not a fan of the kanye, not at all.
May 28, 2007 at 8:34 am
Kanye West is the most un talented musician of this era!
Whilst he does serve only to make others look good. Im annoyed that he simply canot come up with any original works of his own and has to borrow decent tunes, that he rebrands as his own, to attempt to sound half decent. Wake up to your self Kayne! Make some original music for once you un creative, cry baby. Go spend another million on a silly music video and have a tear when it doesnt win anything! Your music is simply making a mockery of the music industry these days!
Your time is up Kanye, move on, our ears are sore!
May 28, 2007 at 8:37 am
you guys are caked out. your blog is ballin’
May 28, 2007 at 9:18 am
the thing is, hate it or love it, the beats he samples sound awesome. almost EVERY hip-hop song today is a sample of another, and i think that that isnt necessarily a bad thing. take it with a grain of salt and an open mind, and i’m sure youll find it hard not to enjoy songs like “gone” and “drive slow”.
May 28, 2007 at 9:39 am
this is the shit, thanks
May 28, 2007 at 11:24 am
Babbage –absolute garbage.
Kanye West is either a fake gangsta or a fake Christian. Perhaps both, but it is impossible to be a Christian gangsta. Anyone who talks about pimpin’ hoes, and Jesus in the same song, is obviously a poser.
May 28, 2007 at 11:46 am
Thanks for the post but that is by far the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever heard. West needs to stay behind the boards if he’s going to continue dumping this kind of garbage on us.
May 28, 2007 at 4:10 pm
A big piece of shit… really awful
May 28, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Jumped the shark.
May 28, 2007 at 7:39 pm
Kanye does PB&J a great disservice by giving the weakest effort ever in that song. Rhyming “no idea” with “no idea” was brilliant… stick to producing your own shit and stay away from the swedish indie pop
May 28, 2007 at 10:17 pm
worse than right said fred, worse than sisqo, kanye is the new hitler. thanks for the exclusive zack FRIENDLESS. jk all the way!
May 29, 2007 at 12:38 am
yikes.
May 29, 2007 at 2:00 am
lol kanye opened a can of worms on this on but i trust he will bounce back and come wit som bigger through graduation!
May 29, 2007 at 5:05 am
Awful, god Kanye is wack, not as wack as the G Unit but still VERY wack, this garbage hurts my ears.
May 29, 2007 at 5:15 am
that is by far some of the worst shit i’ve ever heard
May 29, 2007 at 5:38 am
I take it NONE of you genius’ are familiar with the concept of rhyming over damn near ANY and everything on your promotional mixtapes, huh? These songs are NOT “real”. They are merely tracks off of his promo mixtape you geniuses. Since when did Kanye ever take such a lazy approach to producing when it came to album tracks? Use your context clues for one! Masta Ace once rhymed over the Simpson’s theme song and Smif N’ Wessun spit over the Super Mario Bros. beat on a mixtape track before…I know none of you think these two joints are making it on the album. Didn’t y’all hear the first two Kanye joints? Damn, y’all are slow! One.
May 29, 2007 at 8:12 am
i dont know about the yall are slow part, but dart is right. promo mixtapes like this arent meant to be refined, beautifully crafted songs. this mixtape was created 2 days ago, and probably took little effort. i just find it interesting that kanye is branching out and using songs that one would NEVER associate with hip hop.
May 29, 2007 at 10:09 am
Absolute horse-crap. Worse than horse-crap. Horse-crap maggot waste.
What an unlistenable hack.
May 29, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Interesting, rather than brilliant, but I’m glad you posted this. Cheers!

Goddamn. Absolutely absolutely terrible. What happened to actually ***DOING SOMETHING*** with samples? C’mon Kayne. Step it up.

Kanye killed Young Folks.
I’ll no longer listen to the original version of Young Folks by PB&J with the same love ever again.
DAMN YOU KANYE! -extreme internal hatred-
I’m ashamed I even listened to it… curse my curiosity.
May 30, 2007 at 8:59 am
???? what was that.
i loved young folks. not that crap.
May 30, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Kanye West displays great talent. Some people do not appreciate his artistic approach.
May 30, 2007 at 4:51 pm
at times i dont get kanye.he seems discordant.
Chek out my blog to know what went down at the Michael Jackson Auction, the american idol finale and stuff like that.Well, my versions of what went down.

Ha…u can tell by da context of most of dez comments dat most of u people r middle class to high class suburban children with comfortable homes and non-eventful lives and da only reason u listened to these tracks is becuz u saw artista dat u njoy bein sampled and figured Kanye would jus recycle the Daft Punk and attempt 2 rap over it….u implusive retards…i jus thought i’d throw dat in dere
I realli liked da “Stronger” snippet because it was innovative…it was different from da basic 50 Cent & Dip Set “shoot ‘em up, bang bang” bullshyt dat flood da airwaves..for some1 datz in the “ghetto”, it got me amped and made me bop my head 2 it and YES, i have heard the original track BEFORE i heard dis track….i don’t wreak of ignorance children…and Young Folks was ok…wasn’t realli in2 it but Kanye definitely did his thing…but wow, intense hatred on dis website…neva coming back here again unless Tim McGraw does a street remix with Timbaland, Nelly Furtado and Sarah Maclachan (spch?) LMAO ~2~
May 30, 2007 at 11:10 pm
Seriously, the Kanye music hate that spawned from his extra-musical activities is crazy. The song sounds great overall and at the very worst it sounds okay. The lyrics aren’t that great but they definitely aren’t that bad compared to other shit that’s out. Plus Kanye’s charismatic flow half makes up for whatever he says. Anyone saying less than that either has no rhythm or is a douche for being such a hater.
If Kanye put it over a different beat and Ratatat remixed it to this version the pretentious haters would be all over it.
I agree with the post above. Y’all sound like pretentious bourgeois.
May 31, 2007 at 1:23 pm
Great blog, I love the new Kanye mixtape, I’m calling it right now … “Stronger” will be the song of the summer. It’s great to see another blog reppin’ DC, go Wizards & ‘Skins!
June 2, 2007 at 2:26 pm
People will always have a problem with people, period. Kanye cannot get everyone to like him or the music that he does, so why try. I always say that it is a matter of opinion. I personally like the songs, the samples, and the direction. For those who do not, your right and more power to you. Enjoy whatever it is that you listen to. As for me, I will continue listening to this for the simple fact that I enjoy it. And for the guys and girls who call people stupid for liking something just because they don’t, I will not lose any sleep over it. Music is entertainment, and these songs entertain me. I also like the original version of the song. And if Kanye was given the approval, what is the problem? Well, I guess we all like what we like.
June 2, 2007 at 2:38 pm
Listening to these songs, all I have to say is this.
All he did was slow daft punks song down and throw some drumbs on it, so I dunno what there is to complain about there. And for young folks if any of you really listened to the words, he wasnt rapping to his full potential. All he was doing was making a song that was making fun of the way the media has acted towards him.
Everyone is entitled to their likes and opinions, but to all of you haters who called stronger garbage and who said he killed Young Folks or said that he needs to stop rapping and stick to producing obviously have “No Idea” as he says.
June 4, 2007 at 1:37 pm
i totally agree with “thinks before he sepaks” but i call using so much of a sample stealing.
June 4, 2007 at 3:05 pm
all I read is “hipster whining, bullshit bullshit bullshit”.
sure, dude’s an asshole. sure, dude is ridiculous.
but if you’re telling me stronger doesn’t sound good when it hits your ears… you know, before the hipster acceptance filter sets in… you’re full of it.

Stronger is a very good song, dont know what the hell you ppl are talking about if you were his shoes you would love the fam has he is!! He takes it or leaves it hes making it to the top something that not much ppl can do.
June 17, 2007 at 4:40 pm
you people are retarded.
both of these songs are fucking awesome.
June 18, 2007 at 11:01 am
this is a good ass song keep them coming kanye
June 19, 2007 at 5:02 pm
Yo, believe it or not, if you listened to him he already has your attention. Kanye is beyond talented and his lyrics, yes, they do come second to the first in line beats. Stonger is an instant classic, and they joint with him, lupe and pharrell is something of pure imagination.
June 19, 2007 at 9:55 pm
You guys are all haters……. “young folks” is fckin tite …stop hatin…name an artist better?
June 25, 2007 at 7:31 pm
all the tracks off the mixtape are fuckin sick as hell, so to anyone who said kanye didnt do it right or whatever, go cry some more because he IS one of the most talented artists out there
July 2, 2007 at 8:51 pm
both of these tracks are hot.
i think “stronger” might become my favorite kanye song. goddamn.
kanye is good people. i don’t care what anyone says.

Hello Everyone,
I am a golfer myself and I like to play whenever I get a chance.
A short while ago, a very good friend of mine told me about a great golfing equipment and accessories website that has discounted prices on all their products, same day shipping in most cases and there is no state sales tax, they are paying that.
So if any golfer here is ready to save some money on quality products at highly discounted prices, you might want to check out their site at; http://hoffmangolf.com
July 23, 2007 at 10:38 am
The songs are great. Stronger is amazing i can’t believe you guys are hating on it. Plus Daft will probably make more money with kanye sampling the song than they did on their own.
July 26, 2007 at 7:18 pm
… that mixtape is fya his style his aim his achievments are great and he carries on to further it he is a great atribute to hip hop and now pop culture .. ppl are entitled to opinions but until u can achieve as much as he has sit the f**k down .. i dont get u ppl u contribute to getting a artist to decent heights and you then want to bring them right down im quite disgusted with some of these comments pure hate .. no need just keep it moving if u dont like it dont think its takes any skin of ol boys nose he has enough followers psst …
July 27, 2007 at 5:13 am
Im pretty sure stronger is now my favorite song of all time.

can someone please repost the mixtape?

Daft punk literally took Cola Bottle and put a robot voice over it. Kanye sampled it. I figure kanye’s version is much better and more ORIGINAL. Little punks on here don’t know anything.

How is everybody hatin on Kanye? Take a step back and listen to what the man says and try to appriciate great music. Not good, Great. Some of yall out there sound like Beanie Segal and shit, with nothin better to do then hate when you see a brotha on top.

You guys crack me up with your distaste for sampling. For crying out loud you are Replying on a Message Board at http://allthingsgo.wordpress.com
If not for sampling at [every turn] in every business arena we would undoubtedly be paying per post. Millions of sites simply piggy back (for free) on technology of which they had no part in developing. Yet you complain about an Artist doing just that; and the Artist has to pay for the sample. You guys are simple.
September 12, 2007 at 8:54 pm
why is it everytime something new comes out people just except it as good music? whatever happen to the pure form of hip hop? people need to keep shit in categoriy. what i heard of kanye was some straight technodronic shit haha. people need to stop misusing the word hate to. just because someone is not feeling that bullshit approach when someone is trying to fuck up the game even more you call them hater. go suck something and go listen to something with soul. i know my hip hop and that kanye song i heard had to have been some of the worse shit i ever heard. up there with rockstar ahahha. come on man. some shit is just over the line. even when i tried listening to kanye’s new shit i couldn’t. it was murder to my ears and sad. how could you say you were inspired by rza shit from the wu-tang making songs like that? thats and insult to rza i think. i don’t hate on no one. i have my opinions. i just think some shit is being credited for hip hop when it’s not. thats what fucks up. if kanye were considered a pop artist it would be different. if that shit sounded like hip hop to ya ears then you need a fucking brain check up or something. pure ass cheeks. everything new that come out ya lovin. doesn’t matter what the fuck it is. so simple minded nowdays.
