Todays pick is one that probably a lot of people are going to disapprove of. I know that not a lot of you guys aren't big fans of rap/hip-hop. All I ask is that you give it a chance :)

Kanye West- Gorgeous (EXPLICIT)

I'm by no means a Kanye fan. I am though, a huge fan of rap/hip-hop. Lyrically, this song is incredible. It flows, it's meaningful, it has clever wordplay and double-meaning. The chorus is kind of weak, granted (never really liked Cudi), but besides that, this song is incredible. And even beyond the song, this album (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) changed the entire rap game. A lot of people like to hate on Kanye, I do too. His new music really sucks, and he's real easy to make fun of because of the way he puts himself out there to the media. But I think that once it all dies down, he's going to be recognized for some of his work, especially this song. 

Agree to disagree, say what you want about this song or even Kanye below. Give me feedback :)

This one was submitted by Hyrdmoth, on the topic of songs to drive to. I even put this to the test last Thursday on a regrettably long drive to LA. I honestly don't understand a word she says, but the song itself is catchy as hell, and it's very fast paced. It does go really well with a commute home or a road trip. It's also really long, which makes it perfect for a driving playlist. A lot of the time, 3 minutes isn't enough and songs will be over before you even realize. But with this song being 10 minutes, you don't really have that problem.

What do you guys think? Let's get some feedback :)
