Nah Right has a Kanye/Mos Def Japanese bonus joint that would have fit much better at the end of Graduation than the lame Young Jeezy reprise of "Can't Tell Me Nothing." Not to say it's that great of a tune, but at least it's not the Snowman spitting third-rate rhymes on one of Kanye's weakest singles:
The descending, tuneless electro bassline on "Goodnight" sounds like Kanye's banging out a D4L melody on one of Jon Brion's keyboards a summer too late, and yet again instead of rapping Mos is doing his knockoff version of Wyclef as island-inflected backup singer. But I dig the sleepy, nursery-rhyme quality of the melody, the harpsichord (?) hook, and that it's pretty much the light and fluffy mirror opposite of the murky, soupy novelty of "Drunk and Hot Girls." Also this makes me wonder if more import-only goodies are going to leak out between now and 9/11.
