We’re sure you’ve still been busy watching the throne and getting your fill of everything Hova and Kanye related. So we decided to switch it up and take it back, waaaaay back for your listening pleasure. Before Mr.West was the Louis Vitton Don he was making hits for some of your favorite artists and even a movie soundtrack. So sit back and enjoy some GOOD Music produced with that ever so special Yeezy Effect.

Talib Kweli – Good To You
Where do we even start? Talib on a Ye produced track riding an Al Green sample. You’re welcome.

Beanie Sigel – The Truth
One of the first Roc A Fella tracks Kanye ever produced, the heat of this Sigel track translated to minor success for him but cemented Ye as a major problem in the studio.

Mos Def feat. Faith Evans – Brown Sugar (Extra Sweet)
This hot track is off the Brown Sugar soundtrack, marking Kanye’s first time appearing on a movie soundtrack and one of his first times working with Mos Def.

T.I. – Doin’ My Job
Clearly Yeezy was doin his job when he created this hit for Clifford and helped Trap Muzik go platinum, not many people know he produced this joint but now you can say you do.

Jay Z – Girls, Girls, Girls Remix
Even though this classic song was only a bonus track on The Blueprint and was released back in 2001, it showed that even then, between Hov and Kanye the throne has been theirs for the taking.

As a Bossip Boombox Bonus, head to the next page to check out a video of Yeezy’s first feature on a song. Can you guess what it is?

If you’re like us, you’ve probably been Throne Watching all day, so in honor of the latest release by your two favorite heavy weights of hip hop, we decided to make a boombox with some of our favorite collaborations from the past couple of years.

Mos Def and Talib Kweli – Definition

Lawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd, lawd have mercy. This classic joint by the legendary duo will forever jam.

Nas and Kanye West – Still Dreaming

Another pairing of 2 heavyweights in the game that always know how to hold their own.

Red Man and Method Man – How High

Before Wiz and Curren$y even thought about doing it, these two were perfecting the art of stoner raps duos.

Jay Z and R.Kelly – Body

Although, a very short lived duo, these two literally showed the world the Best Of Both Worlds.

2 Pac and Snoop Dogg – 2 Of Americaz Most Wanted

You thought we would make a list with some of the best collabos and not include this joint?

Last week, we caught up with Nelly in between promo runs for his latest release “Nelly 5.0“. And in a surprisingly free-flowing and candid interview, we talked about his new music and the highly publicized Twitter outburst during which he criticized his label for lack of effort in promoting the album. Getting him to talk about his secret wifey Ashanti was a whole other story though. Continue »
