Download - "The Joy"

Another G.O.O.D. Friday release, and this one may have the most exciting collaboration yet!  Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is set to drop on November 22nd.

"She in her birthday suit, cause of the damn cake, Now there's crumbs all over the damn place, And she want me to cum all over her damn face... This beat deserves Hennessy, A bad bitch and a bag of weed, the Holy Trinity, In the mirror, where I see my only enemy, Your life's cursed? Well mine's an obscenity."

-Kanye

 

Thoughts on the collaboration?

This album should be amazing. Below is the most recent Kanye track featuring Hov, “So Appalled.”

Shout out to Cyhi Da Prynce for holding his own along side some of the best emcees in the game.

Who Came Away With The Best Verse This Week?

Normally I try to keep all the posts on HipHopAtLunch about music, but I know a lot of people are interested in how Jay-z became so successful.  Jay and Warren’s magazine cover below:

Download - "Monster."

Here's the second song off of Kanye West and Jay-z's upcoming album.  Nicki holds her own next to Hov and Mr. West, as she keeps things interesting with her changing flow!

"If I'm fake, I ain't notice cause my money ain't,

So let me get this straight, wait I'm the rookie?

But my features and my shows ten times your pay?

50k for a verse, no album out?

Yea my money's so tall that my barbies gotta climb it."

The Harajuku Barbie is killing every guest verse she touches. Get ready for Pink Friday to drop November 23rd!

Download - "Power" Remix.

Here's one of the most anticipated remixes of 2010.  I like how Kanye and Swizz broke it down toward the end.

"It's all in timing nigga,

See I dreamed my whole life that I could rhyme with Jigga,

Now Jay my big brother and B my little sister,

And excuse me but, you can't see my little sister."

I've also included everyone's favorite "moving painting" below:

Download- "Free Masons."

I like how we're being given the singles from Rick Ross' album with enough time for us to digest them in-between leaks. If Def Jam isn't purposely releasing the songs in this fashion, they should consider doing so in the future. It's building a lot of hype around the Teflon Don album!

As always, Jay-z drops some nice lines on his guest verse, "Bitch I said I was amazing, not that I'm a mason," ha! Don't sleep on Ross' lyrics though, as he comes through on what will surely be yet another radio hit:

Download “Under Pressure.”

This is not the final version but since Detox may never come, I decided to post it anyway, ha!

Since Lil Wayne's verse is a little hard to hear, I've broken down the lyrics below:

In the above "Walmart Soundcheck" video, Drake speaks about working with Alicia Keys on the upcoming album, and points out that "Unforgettable," featuring Young Jeezy, is his personal favorite off of Thank Me Later.  The full version of Walmart's Soundcheck, featuring performance footage, will be made available on June 15th.

I'm not going to post Drake's leaked album, but I'm sure that you can find your way to a copy after a quick Google and Twitter search.  Having said that, here goes the CDQ version of Drake's highly anticipated track featuring Jay-z:
