You know, I wasnt feeling this. Everybody loved it! Im definitely not feeling any Kanye Jay songs released lately, they all have basically been, "Im better than you, you havent done shit I have". Which is fairly obvious (Considering who they are). Not to mention the track was eh for me.

I like that Kanye came back to some hip hop ish on the production, but I feel the same way about the song..."I'm better than you" is so played...

Yeah...so let's have these guys switch up their styles.....because their original styles weren't successful..

Track is ok.... I like the back and forth action.....

But come on people...what DO you want to hear from these guys? They have done stuff you haven't done...IT'S THE TRUTH.... SPEAK THAT REAL SHIT!

Let them rap like they're still on the block hustlin...

I'm really not sold on the beat......I'll give it a few more listens before I really make a determination on the record.....

Its one thing to rap like you got shit. But they're talking about "I go places you've never been to", "You never rode in a maybach, ha, take that" type shit.

I'd rap about trying to stay on top, or tell stories of my fans struggles (Which I do), or "Stay strong, you can be where Im at rap" This shit is just not in good taste. Especially in the middle of a great recession, and a record breaking faminine and disasters destroying families and shit. Like did they seriously think this shit would be the time for this?

I'd rather listen to Magnito bend metal.

It's Kanye, that's why.

Lil Wayne sings on a record and it's a hit.....we sing and we're clowned.

Why don't they rap about their fans' struggles? Because that's not what they do. Jay-Z did "minority report" <--no one cared for the record.

The album is titled "watch the throne"... It's an album with that kind of swag on it... it is what it is. I'm picking it up, regardless....

It could be in the vein of song cry, Minority report just wasnt a good song. Or hard knock life (His christening single) from a birds eye view

But whatever though

Those songs you refer to are songs that game out a while ago. I don't see Song Cry doing anything now...I do see Hard Knock Life being popular even today.

Times are so much different even now from the early 2000s. Shit is changing quicker as time progresses.
