Yeah, I put you out there MIDI! But that’s what your ass gets for shinin’…. shine on playa! All week we’ve been putting Kanye up against some more well known producers and Kanye’s been in the lead. This time we gonna put him up against some lesser known talent and honestly, I think MIDIMarc has got Ye beat! MIDI’s flip is so much more soulful and just when you’re thinking the beat is getting repetitive he goes and changes the key. Damn! Tell me you all don’t agree…

damn both of these beats are dope… I never really checked out MIDIMarc before but I might now
might have to listen a couple more times before I can even choose to vote. nice post, good match up
“Good Morning South Carolina (Let’s Go)” was and still is my fav track off of “Black Boy Lost”. I haven’t picked Ye on every flip this week and he doesn’t get my vote today. MidiMarc that track is fire! Plus, N’Telligence blesses the track nicely.

Lou Rawls… One of my favourite songs ever. Lou flipped it best.
This isn’t even a fair comparison, they didn’t flip the sample any differently, Kanye just overdubbed his with more horns. I have to vote tie
