Hypetrak's Weekly Set - Volume 18
hypetraks-weekly-set-volume-18
Last week we saw the appearance of a brand new collaboration between KiD CuDi and Kanye West. Entitled “Erase Me”, the track caused a heavy discussion among the fans of both artists – complaining about the lack of rap elements in their music lately. However, when art comes into play, variety is key. And music marks no exception. Hands down, variety does not equal creativity but it sure provides the artist and the listener with a broader horizon of creative influences. Music – no matter the genre – can only benefit from a development like this.
Obviously “Erase Me” would have resided in the top position of our list, but due to Copyright issues the song was blocked and did not make it to this set. Instead, we have Andre 3000 at number 1 who has been going against the grain throughout his whole career. And we all embraced him for that. He deserves further credit for turning in a fresh translation of the Beatles’ timeless “All Together Now”. The other spots are also taken by creative and uncompromising talents that delivered a fine selection of musical diversity – ranging from Florence & The Machine, Pharrell Williams, Klaxons, Rick Ross and many more. Listen to the audible recap below.
