FSD Feature: Kanye West’s 25 Best Beats [2006-2012]

Posted on March 6, 2013August 14, 2023 by FSD Staff

Christian-Dior-Denim-Flow

18. Kanye West f/ Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend, Lloyd Banks, Ryan Leslie “Christian Dior Denim Flow” (2010)

Album: G.O.O.D. Fridays

Kanye_West-Christian_Dior_Denim_Flow_(feat._Kid_Cudi,_Pusha_T,_John_Legend,_Lloyd_Banks_Ryan_Leslie)

This song was aptly named, it just sounded like luxury jeans, not that you can hear jeans, but weed is loud, right? Sorry. Anyway, the strings sounded like a tuxedoed chamber group was right there while Kanye waved the conductor’s baton. This G.O.O.D. Fridays release had the quality where it felt both spontaneous (see list of features) and orchestrated, like, hey, I just threw this together, but it’s perfect. The tempo slows just subtly enough for Cudi’s verse, deep into the song, then the guitar solo comes in, then the solo strings, then cut.

    Even though he sold it, “We Gone Make It” by Jadakiss should’ve been on the list

    pretty sure DJ Toomp made “Cant Tell Me Nothing”… it was originally a Jeezy song, whikch is why the ad-lib is there… thats bad, since you have it as his #1 beat… I could be wrong though

      The song was produced by kanye AND dj toomp. plus kanye always has a bunch of people do additional vocals and what have you. that does not mean the song was originally for them. he could have had dj toomp take off the ad-libs if he really didnt want it there.

    “Live Fast, Die Young” should have made top 5, and it’s not even on the list.

    You can definitely see your skills within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart. NPVNLRITBUBOXDYJA
