Listening to Kanye’s monster of a collaboration left me wanting to re-vist this moment from his short film. Watch the full film below.

“Something wrong, I hold my head,
MJ gone, our nigga dead,
I slapped my girl, she called the feds,
I did that time, and spent that bread,
I’m headed home, I’m almost there,
I’m on my way, headed up the stairs,
To my surprise, a nigga replacing me,
I had to take him to that ghetto university.”

Thoughts on the collaboration?

Despite being angered by an early leak off of his album, Kanye comes through with another G.O.O.D. Friday release.

Who came away with the best verse this time?

Download – The Albert Anastasia EP

Rick Ross and Def Jam release yet. another. video. from the impressive Albert Anastasia EP!

“We syppin Wong Tong,
all the way from Hong Kong,
Wahhh.”

I seriously think Ross should sell a DVD edition of the EP.

Teflon Don is dropping on July 20th

Rick Ross – “Free Masons” (Featuring Jay-z & John Legend)

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:

“New Rolls Royce, guess you made it nigga,
All white neighborhood, you they favorite nigga,
My top back like JFK,
They trynna push my top back like JFK,
So, so I JFK,
Joined forces with the kings and we ate all day.”
