MP3: Fort Minor vs. Bloc Party

You know Linkin Park? You know their rapper, Mike Shinoda, who also fronts Fort Minor? Well, apparently he's a Bloc Party fan.

This Fort Minor: We Major (rimshot!) mixtape track has been around since before the release of Fort Minor's debut, The Rising Tied, in November of last year, but that doesn't make the "Banquet" sample any less of a novelty. The rhyming is competent at best and so is the beat, which is something of a compliment considering how awful most things of this nature turn out. If you've ever wanted a Bloc Party track that could actually rock a block party (caveat: these dudes would probably be in attendance), it's worth a listen.
