OS Flashback: Kanye West – Throw Some D’s (Remix)


Disclaimer: Remember when we world premiered this video? Some of you might. It happened six years ago to the month. The first world premiere ever posted in the OnSMASH video section. Look how far we’ve come.

It was the beginning of the video digital revolution around 2006-2007, as more and more artists at that time were using Myspace, and blogs to get their music out to the fans without any control from the labels. Many rose to the top of the game, and pushed through, leading the way and paving the road for many artists in this generation.

In 2007, Kanye West was preparing to drop his third album, Graduation, and used the internet to further the reach, dropping comedic music videos and the classic Can’t Tell Me Nothing mixtape in anticipation for the project. “Throw Some D’s” came at a time where artists took it to DIY methods of guerrilla marketing. And it only propelled the buzz.

And the game is still going strong out here in these e-streets.
