Who knew the horrors that Kanye West would be unleashing when he turned Daft Punk’s amazing ‘Harder Better Faster Stronger’ into his own amazing ‘Stronger’ Number One?The UK’s big hip-hop hope, Wiley, was clearly watching the success of Kanye West’s clever sampling and decided he wanted a piece for himself. Kanye West took a Daft Punk track, stripped out the elements he didn’t need and recreated a track which made people the world over remember why they loved Daft Punk so much and pushed him that final step towards becoming one of the world’s greatest hip-hop artists.
Sadly, Wiley’s ‘Summertime’ is nothing more than a man rapping over ‘Aerodynamic’. Nothing has been changed, nothing has been removed, nothing has been altered – it is just a man rapping over ‘Aerodynamic’.
The UK hip-hop scene has not found its much needed salvation. Not quite yet...
Click here to listen to 'Summertime' by Wiley. But it is very disappointing - please be warned.
