Consequence f/ Kanye West - "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" (mp3)
When Kanye released his first mixtape Get Well Soon in late '02/early '03, this is one of the songs I was the most obsessed with, I must've put it on so many different tapes. It was on the tentative tracklist for The College Dropout, and I was pretty disappointed when it ended up not being on the final album. I don't quite think as highly of it anymore, but it was still cool to see on his Grammy diary on MTV recently that they just shot a video for this song, for Consequence's album, a full three years after I first heard it. This is one of the old mixtape versions of it, not the 2-minute GWS version but a longer one from another mixtape, I'm sure they've rerecorded it since then. It's a trip to look at those old mixtapes and realize how many songs from them have become huge hits since then. I mean, I liked Kanye back then, but I didn't really predict the kind of success he's had, and I sure as hell didn't think "Jesus Walks" was gonna do what it did based on that 35-second snippet at the beginning of Get Well Soon.
