‘Scuse me while I kiss the SKY HIGH (DJ Benzi x Kanye West x Plain Pat)

“I KNOW I’M LATE BUT THIS IS THE S**T!”

– Kanye West on Sky High

“Finally here is the high quality official version of ‘Sky High’ from Benzi & Plain Pat! this new version of current tv’s number mixtape of 2008 is not like the crappy imeem webrip that was floating around, and is all mixed and mastered and is in the proper order. in addition to that it features a new verse from kid cudi and a few other remixes and bonuses. enjoy this project in all its glory and look out even more major remix projects in the future!”

I’ve only gotten word about and started listening to this mixtape today and I’ve already fallen in love with it. I’ve probably established that I’m definitely a big fan of Kanye West, from College Drop to 808s and Heartbreak and everything inbetween, but I bet even those who may have turned away from 808s or just don’t listen to that much Kanye would have an appreciation for this bloody brilliant mixtape put together by DJ Benzi and Plain Pat. Heck, even the Love Lockdown remix  is arguably better than the original for that matter. It’s also more upbeat than the original, like many of the tracks on Sky High.

The small touches in this mixtape really do it for me. This more or less might be because I’m a DJ, but I especially appreciate that DJ Benzi made this tape completely seamless with no gaps inbetween tracks, which makes it nice to listen to as a whole. I also liked some of the samples included to the tracks, one notably for me being the verse in Champion where Kanye says “Who the kids gonna listen to?” and the iconic “YUUUUUU” from Soulja Boy hits.  Small things like these, but point being that this mixtape is truly an intricately put together masterpiece.
