...style. 1. "Wake Up Mr. West" (Intro) 2. "Heard 'Em Say" Maroon 5's Adam Levine provides his soft vocals to this track in the way which only he can here, offering something quite unexpected of Ye at the time.

...to use a compressed sound for beats and then add in some sound samples from old martial arts movies. These samples are a bit bizzare in places but I feel compliment the mood of the album(whick is pretty dark, by the way) very well. 36 Chambers also spawned the first hit for the collective C.R.E.A.M. or Cash Rules Everything Around Me, Which went on to introduce them to a wider audience. This particular track is often mentioned when "greatest hip ... Read review

Its a relatively good CD... well.. i dont got much to say with this intro since most people know these guys... so check out the review... ...
