ARTIST: Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy TITLE: “Amazin'” WEB DEBUT: Nov. 11, 2008

ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: “Amazin'” is another downtempo, Autotuned-to-next-week song from Kanye West, although this time out West is lyrically defiant, talking about how he feels while in the afterglow of a show and how no one can take the joy of holding a crowd in the palm of his hand away from him. The endless loop–which is marked by a few guttural barks, choirs of angels, and some otherworldly screeches here and there–breaks just before Young Jeezy comes in to drop a verse that’s as much about boasting as it is about his blood pressure, and he sounds so fierce, one might think that Kanye brought him in specifically to channel his more aggro, less mediated-by-studio-trickery side.
