    1. Not what I expected, but definitly good, the definition of “going hard”. I’m curious about the other songs off “Watch the throne” to see where it will go.
      Besides that, I feel like the album will have more a “Kayne feeling” than a “Jay-z feeling” (innovative beat, artwork by a fashion director…). Jay-z is one the greatest rappers ever, but Kanye is excellent when it comes to create concepts or to have an overall vision for an album.

    2. This beat sucks, Kanye’s verse sucks, and Jay verse was dope but he don’t sound right on this bama ass beat. The shit sounds like BMF pt5. Lex Lugar doesn’t empress me and Ren & Stimpy aka Kanye & Jay only linked up with his wack ass because of the name. Nothing about this shit is great at all. Stop fronting

    3. cool track not all that I kinda get the down south subjects with Kanye and Jigga fuckin Bitches and Money hmmm is this what the two so called best Rappers have to offer we don’t care abt your money nigga we fans not compitition lol….far as lyrics yall went W.A.M. wack as a mothafucka…I give the beat an 7.5

    4. Yeah its decent nothing major I was thinking like Damn when jay do a callabo album it sucks then I said to myself everything Jay and Ye done in the past was dope now I’m getting that best of both world feeling like they wanna force this shit on us

    5. Jay took a shot at baby for that money comment he made a while ago”Niggas got baby money aint even got my lady money” lol

    6. yo this aint normal jay and kanye but still hotter than anything drake and wayne do… i rather listen to this on the radio than any song drake has made

    7. Lex Luger might have done that beat but all that extra gothic ish is definitely K West. Lyrically Jay owned the track.

    8. these Niggas didn’t not help the beat smh money and fuckin white chicks lol… Kanye you don’t even like girls the more I replay this shit its get more ass and Jay hearing you Brag is not entertaining anymore 98 99 sure but come on man who gives a shit why you taking a shot a baby when you have so much oh I know why he jumpped in the oil business before you #fuckRap SlaugtherHouse would have made this beat sound much better they would have killed this shit

    9. damn. not what i was expectin, beat would be alright if it didnt have that wack ass zelda sounding ring in the back round, and they didnt use gay ass acronyms like this one, like this man said sounds like some soulja boy shit with a lil mix of gladiator.

      1. stop your bullshit this shit is straight wack

        you dont have to be a hater to notice this shit is rubbish

        fuck outta here with your so called “hater” argument ! this is not the point here !

        however, you are a dickridin pretty hard on this one ! that’s what i can tell

    10. I don’t know, if Ye redid his verse, Jay went back and spit his verse harder, drop Ross on da track for a verse three and then tweak da track like one them ole school Bad boy remixes, this could be a hard ass hit. For now, it ain’t bad for what it is.

    11. Its less than Wat i Expected I hope this is the weakest Track on the Album better yet i hope this is kinda like one of those good Friday tracks that don’t make the album not the level of Quality I’m use 2 from the guys I give it a 3 cuz they don’t do 2.5stars just a fans Perspective

    12. COME ON, JAY AND KANYE?? OVER A LEX LUGER BEAT??? MAN 2012 IS GONNA BE UGLY ON ALL LEVELS . THEY PUT THIS OUT??? B.M.F. PART 130!!

    13. after Heart of the City, Lucifer, Never Let Me Down, Diamonds, Run This Town, So Appalled, Monster, Power Remix, and you two decide to let this kid lex luger lead you guys down the gucci clown and retard wakawakakakakak route??

      that made sense.

    14. Honestly, this was garbage. I had a feeling it would be, but I wanted to listen to it first. Too bad, this could have been dope. I’m not feeling the beat or the lyrics [the hook was cool]. These guys are way better than this….

    15. i just listened to nas’ “who are you” … i cant think this is anything but bird poop. sry.

      beat is dope but sounds familiar. kanye delivery sub-par, jay talking same old crap. besides these guys are too old for this kind of track…sad day.

    16. Ok so they promissed some Madlib, Pete Rock … and all they came with as a first leak is Lex Luger track ?!

      The drums don’t even sound right. The beat is Ok at best because of the chorus and the outro.

      Kanye’s verse is meh. Jay did his thing.
      a 3 at best.

    17. Come On Son. Kanye, once again you show that you are an idiot. I mean stop rapping dude because you are garbage. Jay sounds serious and miles ahead. Almost like he was like ok let me do this here real quick, air out the space, and bounce. Track sounds dated and looking forward to hearing a different energy.

    18. hard. another level beat. Jay killed it. Ye is just ye. ppl expect too much all the time. it was hot & this is gonna be better than most out so – keep it coming – peace

    19. Yo u corny hipster/posers mad cuz these niggas just went H.A.M. Track is fuckin fire. WATCH THE THRONE, DONT STEP ON MY ROBE. Half of ya kid cudi listening ass clowns anyway, far from the knowledge of what real hip hop is. SMH Yezzy killed it and HOV trashed it. COGxCOG

    20. thought it would be better than this…

      sounds like a beat rick ross would pick, can imagine him sayin ‘ugh’ in between barz

      hope this is the worst track on the album..

      jay killed it…

    21. who the fuck is lex luger. nigga sound like shawty red or whomeva jeezy fuck wit. and kanye shoulda add more to this then just the girl vocal. wow

    22. OK, honestly, at first I was a little turned off by entire style of the song; until I listened to it over and over. Now I kind of like the song. Although, “Haters” was a decent track on Jay Z latest album, this song sounds like they tried to do another rendition of “Hater”

      On the other hand, I thought the song was a joke when I seen the title “H.A.M” and the audio version on wshh. Usually when you hear the acronym or phrase “I’m about to go H.A.M”, you associate that slang with Southern rappers like Soulja Boy or Roscoe Dash. I would ever thought I hear Jay Z say “I’m about to go H.A.M”

      All in all, once I allow the song to grow on me I begin to like it… 4/5(Just Because the risky creativity)

      p.s hope Kanye dont waste another 2 1/2 mins letting the instrumental die out and on the following tracks after “H.A.M” there are more than two verses.

      1. Your really going to try to compare “my speakers going hammer,, blammer blammer blammer..” to this join with Jay and Kanye?

        Souljah boy didn’t go HAM he went ringtone rap retarded on that track.

        Id like to punch that little dude right in the fucking face for even considering himself a contributor to the hiphop game.

    23. ok ummm..so that was wack, i expect so much more out of these two, u one of the best rappers ever(Jay) and one of the best now (Kanye) who also is in the top 5 producers, and all they can do is rap over what sounds like a recycled down south trashy beat..smh…

    24. . Kanye sounds drunk with his lazy ass verse and Jay was mediocre at best. Piss me off because im hugh fan of them and i know what there capable of. sounded like Waka song.

      one thing im sick of is Kanye working with these garbage producers like Lex Luger who have no business being in a studio or on the boards. his beats are generic and repetitive. stop fuckin with talentless nyggas.

      PRODUCED THE ALBUM KANYE

    25. this shit is wack i thought the song is that your bitch was that shit. Get back on that, cause this is bad, the worst imitation rick ross shit ever

    26. THE FUNNY THING IS..ALL OF U LAMES IS THE SAME HATIN ASS MUHFUCKA..THE TRACK DECENT..ASK YOURSELF WAS YOU GON LIKE IT ANYWAY..EMINEM NAME IS NOT ATTACHED TO IT..LAME

    27. yikes. let’s hope this shit doesn’t make the album. i thought the whole point was that it was gonna be all kanye beats. lex luger can eat a dick.

    28. Not hating on Lex Luger.DO your thing but that beat sound just like B.M.F.That nigga getting rich of that same beat lol.Shit do your thing.

    29. lol i kno baby been aggravating hov with dat money talk so he finally let it off his chest “im like really half a billy nigga really u got baby money keep it real with niggas niggas aint got my lady money” and baby dumbass wont even catch that lol

    30. In My Opinion, This is very disappointing to me. Maybe my expectations are too high. But comin from Mr. West and Hov can u blame me. Lex Luger beats be on point but its something about it that seems the same as his others. Kanye coulda came way better and jay kinda saved it but came up short. Hopefully this is a promo single and they will put out another single instead.

    31. track ain’t bad, just lyrically mediocre
      i don’t mind wack beats as much as wack lyrics
      WTThorne sounds like another jay-z/r-kelly wack collab albums

    32. i thought lex luger was that wrestler from wwf… song sucks more than a cock-loving pornstar. im disappointed. so bad i didn’t even let yeezy finish his verse before i turned it off.

    33. Have you ever came across a mentally deranged person on the street – How out of nowhere they come up to you and just rambling nonsense. Well, I listen to Kanye in high hopes of him trying to divine skill in rap by taking it another level? And this RETARD JUST BABBLES GARBAGE LIKE A BUM ON THE CORNER! REALLY KANYE…? I FLABBERGASTED BY PARADE CRAP THAT YOU DONE TRANSPOSED FROM ASS TO YOUR MOUTH. 1 STAR AND THAT’S BECAUSE JAY…TRIED TO BRING THE TRACK OUT OF THE DARK…BUT, THE ONLY THING THAT CLIMAXED WAS THE BEAT. WACK!

    34. The beat is dope. Doesn’t really fit kanye’s style. Jay can kill any beat. For some reason I can just here Bun B killin this shit, or maybe Crooked

    35. wasn’t shit special bout dis beat at all. im sure dat shit will pound out sum subs but kanye and jay’s flows make up for it………….a lil. 3/5

      1. he totally stole DRUMMA BOYS drum pattern. i guess thats cool to these rappers… this dude does have about 2 dope beats tho but he is super overrated….apollo brown and the snowgoons murder this guy

      2. I don’t mind lex luger as a producer as long as he stays with certain rappers

        waka and ross sound great ove his beats but kanye and jay are horrible on this

    36. this shyt is horrible… jayz wasnt overrated in his prime, but he should really think about sitting his old ass down somewhere

    37. i wouldn’t give dis a week b4 a whole buncha rappers would want to hop on dis beat lol. dat trend is gittin pretty lame if u ask me

      1. a lot of shit is released on Tuesday’s dumbass. Take your retarded ass outside and shoot your self

    38. Dis song is hard. Da beat is hard. Jays said “Im like really a half billion/ nigga really u got baby money/keep it real with niggas/niggas aint got my ladies money” This song go hard and it aint even been be mixed down or finish becasue the song goes on for about two minutes with just the beat playing. Wait on the final VERSION yall internet GANGSTAS

    39. (THIS BEAT IS NOT WORTH BUMMPIN)This song fuckin sucks the only thing I like bout’it is the end other than that is an jay z suck kanye always sucked so he can keep that up.
      I give a 2** STAR RATING

    40. I was expecting alot more. Track is garbage. Lyrics is weak as hell!!! THese lames is weak ass sellouts who sold they soul. they new music dont even have the feeling of the old shit they used to make. THis is sad. I huess its what happens when you sell your soul.

    41. people are retarted, of course it dont sound like the old them! hov and kanye are takin the whole swag rappers tryna make in 2011 and merked it!

    42. What a horrible song. This supposed to awaken some kind of interest for these washed up egoists project?? “You should fuckin’ quit nigga” right back at this tired shit. Fuck HAM, we over christmas already. Move on folks, this is old news.. there are better songs to listen to out there, by the sounds of it this project was put together hastily and goddammit it shows.

    43. Average song, not bad, not fire. The beat disappoints me. Luger pooed on his MPC… I thought Kanye brought a MBDTF touch. It’s like Jay-Z and Kanye on an Army of The Pharaohs’ beat without epicness. Maybe it’s an Illuminati hymn lol Watch the Throne will drop soon, I don’t want to bury it before it drops,so wait and see… 3 stars not more.

    44. Jay-z has been messing up his legacy, Kanye fell off after Graduation. Jay-z is past his prime and should just give it up, he’s not that good anymore.

      1. I agree Kanye took a fall after Graduation. But “My twisted beautiful fantasy” and GOOD Friday tracks are off the hook. He def redeemed with that album. Real hip hop if you ask me.

      2. GOOD Friday”, “My Beautiful Twisted Fantasy” ????

        they’re the same thing

        i’m reading this from recnt to oldest by the way

    45. HOV Killed this! “Headshots nigga fuck yo vest”. I’m a Ye stan but fuck what the nigga was talking about and he recycled that Wayne line…”kickin bitches out the condo like pam

    46. what the fuck is this shit…

      im a huge jay z and kanye fan but seriously this beat sucks total balls and they both sound terrible

    47. It’s Yeezy and Hova, But The Beat is Kind of wack, not a big fan of lex luger, Im more of a Macho Man Guy Myself, OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

    48. do not like this lex luger and these beats that he makes….the chorus on this song is…putting it lightly L.A.M.E. shouldve let it breathe after a verse..

    49. This song is lamer than a muthafucka. These ham niggaz done fucked up. This is the new anthem for fuck niggaz only.

    50. LEX made another song like hard in da paint. HOVA and Ye popped shit. Only true fans wouldn’t like this song… because it’s not for real hip hop fans. Which leaves all the other dumb ignorant Americans to go HAM. Compare fucking waka’s lyrics to this and talk to me

    51. This is so wack.. im so disappointed in both of these guys. Especially Jay…. kanye fell off after graduation and jay hasnt made anything decent since the black album… not a good start for 2011

    52. Is it too hard for people to swallow this ignorant shit coming from these two men? When ross and flocka do it everyone eats it up like spam. Flex is gonna bump this shit on repeat till it’s obnoxious.

    53. why do people hate. lex is an up and coming producer. good for him that he gets 2 work with these 2. the song is called hard as a motherfucker. the beat makes sense. its hard as fuck. im diggin it. cant wait for the album.

    54. Typical Lex Luger beat. Also niggas down south been saying goin ham for yrs. Now Jigga and Kanye wanna say it now. This keeps proving Jay-Z is a biter.

    55. FAIL. Look ta the album cover, notice how the stars a upside down illuminati devil worpship (pentagram) shit right thurrrr. Also the points of where the stars sit on top & bottom corners and center bottom & top makes another one 😉 lol! laugh if you like, but if you listen to what Jay says in his music you know where he stands, simple as that.

    56. I have mixed feelings about this track. Not feeling the beat at all. The chorus is kinda whack. Kanye’s verse is whack too. Plus he did recycle that line, which is kinda lame. This are two of my favorite artist. And I was impressed with GOOD Friday and My Beautiful Twisted Fantasy. Hopefully they’ll fix it before the original release. In regards to Lex Luger…two thumbs down.

    57. Shit is tight cause its different from anything these two have ever done,. fools on SOHH talking mad trash , this xxplosive dude on there crying like a bitch, no taste , this gravy right here.

    58. the beat was hard but was a little to similar to b.m.f., im disappointed in this i was expecting something lyrically insane. oh well singles are for the radio im sure the other songs will be great. on the bright side they did show waka how to make his own music cause this was a billion times better than that retard shit, which is sad.

    59. Expected More. I fucks wit Ye. Fuck jay-z doe. idk tho i just thought it would be way better. jay-z just need to sit his azz down and give up…… Lex beats go hard tho… lil weird at tha end tho but yea

    60. I like both these nigga’s, but this is not what i expected at all. Pretty disappointed to be honest. I wanted Watch the Throne to be just lyrically dope, but from this promo i might just bootleg it.

      3/5

    61. I guess you dudes would rather listen to that wack ass Slaughterhouse track! This Shit Is Fire, get over yourselfs and quit givin it a low rating just because its Jay & Kanye

      1. wowww excellent call my dude. I could go for more of an old school banks though, when his punchlines were REALLY hard.

    62. I hoping this is just a test this song is awful and Ye disapointed me his verse was terrible if this is the theme on this album I’ll pass this was a big let down

    63. I think that most people just expected something totally different and because they didn’t get that “Blueprint” sound they are hating…

      but truth be told if this comes on in the club… I’m going H.A.M.

    64. and kayway wtf were u sayin in your verse…make sense…like that style of rappin is kinda like drakes…cant be copyin heads…hove on the other hand nice…fuck wrong wit these dudes…

    65. Shits Fire. fucking haters mad cause u gotta go to your 9 to 5 at mac d’s in a lil while i burn an ale to this

    66. the more i listen to it the more i like it…i was expecting a diff beat from luger..but if you bang this in the car it bumps..kinda different..kanye sounds like hes drunk on this..but i like it…it will grow on you..the beat is banannas if u listen closely..can you imagine twista on this beat???? good lord..hov said” niggaz aint got my ladies money” lol thats real spit if i have ever heard it damnnnnnnn who else can say that..

    67. I like it but someone else is going to top this beat within a week. Kanye verse was forgettable and Jay truly is a shell of his former self. I don’t know what these dudes could do to not sell.

      1. ha co-sign lex luger has to be one of todays worst producers imo cant listen to his beats and not think of bmf

    68. Itz ight for a mixtape, def. not a single. Unless they have a better remix or something…Jay be gettin it in! He def. improvin wit his flow imo.

      P.S. all this creepy oprah stuff aint really working imo…I guess it go wit their album theme, and it works with certain songs, I just think its overdone sometimes. But so is alot of things nowadays. I’m not hating on them trying something new and different instead of just following what others do.

    69. eehh.i tried to like this. but nope. i expect way better on the album. no more lex beats. premier, just blaze, Q tip, dr dre and of course kanye beats! (no young money artist features please.) nas, eminem, damian marley, j.cole verses would be niice.

    70. fuck these faggot ass devil worshippers!! peace hov, you been fell off… no one cares about this blasphemous bullshit u and ur homo boyfriend put out… slaughterhouse where its at!

    71. Wasnt what I expected. After a few listens they did go hard as a muthafucka on this song. No pop sell a bunch of records crap.

    72. This track is more ass than a kardashian and that is normally a good thing.

      The beat is ok but not fitting of Jay or Ye. Ye comes off awkard and his verse is very forgettable. Jay is doing his second teir material.

    73. Beat is thrash. Take the verses and put it on something else and it MIGHT be 3 stars. And Jay to old to be saying what Soulja Boy says. Old school pose to lead the New school.

    74. Hov n Kanye showed they can body any beat… Hov king of flows Kanye went in.. these nicca showin ya how to rap every style fucc the bullshit..

    75. This song was whack… 3 reasons why. 1. If you have two artist such as kanye and jay on the track, the lyrics should have been stronger. These are two mc’s known for their lyrical ability. 2. If you’re going to have a cd whether it be an e…p or lp called watch for the throne, each song should let people know that you can never be on my level, and 3. The beat is terrible. Every time Kanye and Jay was on a track, the beat was classic. Instead of the standing out, they’re trying to fit in with everybody else… About to go H.A.M., that’s a bad concept for a song already. I’m just sayin, this is Kanye and Jay… I’m kinda disappointed.

      1. these my 2 fav artists right here but co-signto the fullest. i feel like ricky rozay bout to hop out at anytime and be like I THINK IM KANYEEZY

      2. Kanye hasnt been lyrical since Late Registration. If you think he is any where near the level he was in 2004-2005 right now, your a stupid fucking cunt.

    76. i wish lex luger would just go away or change the way you make a beat. these dudes have made some serious classics together that this is just a dissapointment.

    77. Just a lil sample of whats to come relax fellas just cause it aint a classic doesnt mean its wack its a good record be ez damn smh….

    78. everybody listen to this damn song again and i think yall might change ya mind especially with yeezy verse!!!

    79. This song aint hiphop…more like a hipOPERA.

      Kanye talking about sex while a fat woman screeches. No thanks.

    80. LOL. “Like Eli/I deed it” AHAHAHAHA. I swear Kanye has me cracking up. But yeh, I give this a four. The beat is actually kind of interesting. A bit more thorough than Lex’s other stuff. I think people are hating too much. Kanye/Jay’s flows are actually sick. The lyrics aren’t GODLY, but they are kinda dope.

      1. how can something be kinda dope, man times have changed. somethings either dope or whack stop making excuses for weak music ‘oh yeah this is kinda dope’ ‘oh if you listen to this song more than once you like it’ gtfo this isnt either of their best work call me a hater i dont care its my opinon but deep own alll the true hip hop heads will agree and all the little casual bitch hip hop listeners will brand me a hater.

    81. This is a nice track. Nothing but haters you fags will give 50 and Wayne props but won’t recognize good artists.

    82. Jay out shined Kanye on this track. It’s decent overall. I hope they come with something harder on the following tracks IMO.

    83. “this about to get me paid you can call me CAM NEWTON!” hah check out our new song youtube search: “Crank Dat Chip Kelly!”
      GODUCKS

    84. Lame, sorry was wack. If youtube artist did this youll all be hating and dismissing, but since kanye was on it its soo fuking ill. no!! wack..

    85. Such a typical beat! its aight tho…Kanye had some rhymes but i wasnt down with his flow exactly….Jay got it on here but his flow was weird the beat to me too

      1. best duo in hip hop? You’ve never heard of redman and method obviously. you must be 8 years old and haven’t learned how to pee standing up yet.

    86. shout out to lex luger. jay and kanye didnt even know what to do with this beat. which suprises me, should have tossed this to eminem or j cole

    87. Real talk…this is fucking trash. What the fuck is a Lex Luger? Sounds like some retarded 9 yr old on Fruity Loops made this bullshit noise.
      What happened to Preemo, Pete Rock, Q-Tip and Madlib beats? First Kanye lied like a mo’fucka about a “golden era” production lineup on his last joint and now this trash? Get your heads out your asses and just make a dope album again, huh?

    88. I usually don’t like these trippety-trappety-snappety beats, but this one is kinda ill. I like Jay’s verse. I think Kanye is overrated as an MC. Jay is whylin’ doin’ a album with this nigga. Hov’, keep Kanye on the boards where he belongs. 3 Stars.

    89. GARBAGE – SELL – OUT – TRASH.
      The tightest thing bout this song is? The beat. Kanye – worst verse maybe of all time and Jay – ain’t got a damn thing to rap about so he’s gone follow the same trends of this washed up ass rap game thats over saturated with fakes saying the same shit, re-worded….. money,cars, clothes, drinks, & hoes…. If you can actually say that this (as well as any other bs commercial track) is “Original” with a straight face then the media wins and gets just what they wanted…. your ignorant asses are brain washed with bull shit for far too long. You know the game has become a joke when the “hottest” track out right now is called Ham? Lmfao You phonies give REAL hip hop a bad name. Think about it.

    90. Song kinda ass. Ye’s verse was lacking. Jay got the flow, but nothing left to rap about like a lot here are saying. And Lex has no talent.

    91. There is way more to be expected from a Jay/Kanye collab. This shit is average at best and Lex Luger is trash. They need to keep this off the album and start fresh. I got no problems waiting as long as they don’t put out shit like this. 2 Stars.

    92. I always got mad love for Kanye and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was my album of the year but Kanye you just need to stop working with Lex Luger. Look what he did to See Me Now, that’s why that shit ended up being a bonus track on your album. I’m still a big fan but god damn, LEAVE ALL THE PRODUCERS ASSOCIATED WITH WAKA FLOCKA, GUCCI MANE AND YOUNG MONEY ALONE!!!

      Seriously what the hell is so special about this? Its just Kanye and Jay rappin about their money and fame. Its just riding music, the same shit we get from Waka Flocka and Gucci Mane. Kanye please reproduce this track and send this shit back to Lex Luger a.k.a “I just make the B.M.F. beat over and over” Its already got my vote for being the “Worst Song of 2011”

      It just aint right that a 33 year old and a 41 year old on the same track saying they “Going HAM”. We both know they are trendsetters but on this song it seems like they stopped making their own rules so they could follow everyone else’s. I’m disappointed and I hope the other tracks made by DJ Premier, Madlib and Kanye himself make up for this letdown, production-wise and lyrically.

      1. DUDE, every fucking song doesn’t have to fit in your little rap window you dig? Do you ever dance, party or any of that shit? Do you just listen to one style of rap? Fuck outta’ here with that rigid lifestyle and taste.

      2. You dumb ass nigga, I actually like down south Hip Hop over East Coast Hip Hop, I listen to everything from The Roots to Flo-Rida to Lil Wayne to Nas to Snoop Dogg to Raekwon to T.I yo Eminem to Talib Kweli to B.o.B. But this H.A.M. shit is WACK AS FUCK. Shut the fuck up about that “little rap window” you sound like a dumb ass fool.

      3. Homey read your shit, I was spot on about your corny ass. Popping shit behind that keyboard like you hard. I’ll fucking twist your girl ass anyway you want it. I give a fuck about who you listen to, you the one writing a gaddamn thesis over a fucking rap song. Mark ass.

      4. Anonymous you just a lil bitch that wanna pop shit wit anybody that dont share your view. You a sensitive ass nigga thats all talk and no show at all. I just pulled ya bitch card and there you go acting like you on ya period, grow the fuck up. “I’ll twist your lil girl ass anyway you want it” that’s the most homo ass shit i done read all day. You fucking fruit go get a life and grow a pair you simpleton waste of human existence.

      5. Don’t back out now nigga I can sling that shit all day. The difference between me and you is you REALLY are upset over my response and this song. Who’s being sensitive? If you not then don’t respond but I know you will. Just like I knew your typical angry ass would the first time.

      6. Oh so because I actually decided to reply to your ass I’m the sensitive one? Well I guess we all know how many scraps yo punk ass ran from in ya life… Soft ass Simple Simon ass nigga aint even making any sense when it was yo dumb ass that responded to my shit in da first place. nigga you a clown

      7. LOL! Shit you got me rolling over here! I already feel stupid sitting here E_THUGGING with you so later for that. Yes I did respond to your novel because just like you, a lot cats in here pop off like they know these artist and go the fuck off like it’s that serious. Yawl scream about diversity in rap but as soon as someone does you shit on it or ignore it. You could of just said this isn’t my flavor but you went off on some asinine reasons why. You like Wayne but want Ye to to stop fucking with YM producers? Huh? But it’s your opinion so go ahead with it.

      8. And BTW not that it can be proven on the internet but I never run or lost a scrap son. And if I did I would tell you, ain’t no shame in my game.

    93. contrary to what all you people are hatin about, i think they are mocking the rappers that use these beats and spit crap like gucci and all that..just my take on it…4/5

    94. Its slick real lyrical makes you want to buy the album. I can’t see kanye being able to keep up with Jay Z lyrically on everysong though. It is a must grab though when the album .

    95. So many lame cats in here get bent out of shape because every rap song doesn’t sound like their favorite rapper. What’s really bad most yawl don’t even comprehend the lyrics right half the time. Why don’t you hold your thoughts and let it sink in a little before you go into hate mode. Crazy ass conservative motherfuckers.

      1. It’s called opinion. Sometimes a song is what it is, without all the underlying theatrics so many claim to be in the song. Not everybody is gonna like it. You didn’t say ONE word about the track. Concentrate on your opinion of the track and spend less time going on about what everybody else thinks.

    96. apart from the fact kanye is over matched and will be out done on every song this is still awsome, kanye is the constructor if he gets madlibs beats and gets jigga on madlib beats i will bow down to kanye, the hook explosion of sounds is awsome

    97. Everybody just need to get their study on and get some understanding. J and Ye are aware of what the he deal is…enjoy the music and kill the speculation until you overstand what it is. LOL…a small portion of people on the planet share knowledge some of you will never get to comprehend. Its sad but everybody can’t be saved

      1. Half the people in here just need to rant on something and celebs are the easiest targets. They keep it quiet in the real world though, don’t yawl?

      2. celebs working with the elite to manipulate the public is the problem.
        The celebs aren’t targets, they make themselves that by trying to take advantage of the population.
        wake up

      3. You wake up. This shit ain’t new. Yawl conspiracy mother fuckers talk but don’t do especially after you claim you know what’s up. What does it matter if you still gone sit on your ass about it?

      4. there is no conspiracy.
        its pigs looking for money from teenagers through fake advertisting campaigns and bullshit products.

      1. yea…certainly agree, i also think the beat a lil too much goin on for my taste. sound like sum corny ass wacka flocka shit..correction wacka flocka “flame” lol

    98. Its what I expected in a sense, song is hot…Luger gonna have to change up his sound soon though. Thats not hating, his beats are hot but come on now.

    99. this song is wack!

      Oh wait its by Kanye and Jay-Z?

      I mean this song is the shit, you just gotta listen to it to get the hidden message 5/5

    100. These dudes are trash.
      They keep trying to take advantage of the population by putting out shit products and using media to try and brainwash teenagers to get a sale. These dudes are literally trying to get money from people who are 20 years younger than them.
      They are shit.
      Remember that.

    101. Nigga this is probably the gayest song of 2011 so far. Who the fuck would like this piece of shit. Gucci 2 Times is better than this piece of shit joint. Y’all niggaz better check out Christian Beadles. That nigga is the best rapper since Gucci Mane. Christian Beadles gets more pussy than these gay ass illuminati niggaz.

      It’s Gucci Time!

    102. YE just anoying me lately (oh now you hard as a mufucker, really, fuck off), i know im gonna end up wishing this was a HOV album.

      Ill get the album if PREMIER did a couple of beats and theres no sing along pop hooks.

    103. Lame as expected

      Kanye has gotten really lame since 808’s, his new album sucks, I dont care how many 5 Mic ratings Def Jam bought from magazines to save their last profitable artists career

      Dark Fantasy and Em’s recovery album are both grossly over-rated because they dont suck as bad as the ones they dropped last year, Just because Kanye stopped using auto-tune through the whole album and Em kicked his cornball Russian Accent, people act like their back to their old selves…… Dont make me fuckin Laugh

      Jay on the brink of gettin the ignore button from me too, hanging around this self righteous fruit loop is rubbing off on him

      1. You seriously hating? I bet you think the only good albums was the one that wasn’t even nominated a Grammy. Fuck Off Troll.

      2. couldnt have said it better my self and its painful to say cause i love ‘ye first 2 albums and some classic jay but theyve deteriorated and now cause i dont like an album or song im a hate gtfo its called an opinion

    104. lol at the low rating..

      yeah ye’s verse was average at best, but it led up perfectly to the DOPE chorus.. jay had a solid verse.. beat is insane though, especially last like 30 seconds

      i’d say 4.5/5

    105. do you guys not understand what kanye west just did on the beginning of the first verse??? this is poking fun at the lil waynes of the world and if you can’t see that, then you don’t need to be on this site.

    106. i wouldn’t say this song is whack. the production is tight and jay/ye don’t blow it. they just ain’t saying nuthin. but the theatrical beat makes it sound like an epic..

    107. Damn so much potential and we get a fucking lex ‘ b.m.f’ luger beat cmoooon. Sounds like some southern shit music. Better than that retard gucci or waka floka but still disappointing.

    108. Man this shit is so hot dog.I hustle with vulchers late nights you’ll motherfuckers would of been fooled.Dame JAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!

    109. It wasn’t what I was expecting but My Nigga Jay is Back Ye Killed it 2but i Know he coulda spassed even more on here & real shit this do sound like some straight southern shit!!!!

    110. Pushing past the haters…I think its an interesting beat for Ye and Jay. They dont disappoint. I dont think that it was meant to be a deep song. I like it for what it is.

      1. Haters? Im tired of all that hater drivel. Hater this and hater that. When people want to express their opinion assholes like you brand them as haters. Does it make you feel better about yourself. If so, get off your fuckin high-horse!! People are allowed to love or hate as they please….ITS CALLED DEMOCRACY!!!!!

      2. Right On!!! Unfortunately, hip-hop has started this trend where people who are critical of others are automatically deemed as haters. its a damn shame!

      3. Truth is, this is why hip-hop is really suffering. Creativity is not being pushed far enough because of complacency and satisfaction. It has become a cardinal sin in hip-hop to critique or voice your opinion even if it may be harsh. At the end of the day, its those rappers who are sitting at the top who are push this ‘hater hater hater hater’ childish non-sense. Why? So that nobody challenges there authority potentially giving rise to new cats in the game. So trutothe put those hater accusations to rest. not for me but for HIP-HOP!

      4. Two things that need to go away are talking about having ‘swag’ and accusing others of being ‘haters’. We need to bury this shit like the word ‘bling.’ Grow the fuck up people!

    111. This is average its just like everything else on the radio. Average flow from Jay, weak ass verse from Ye and lyrics that makes it seem like Gucci Mane can compete with them lyrically.

      I don’t even mind the shit they rapping about if they were more creative lyrically but any morron could have wrote this shit

    112. dude… this shit is fucking horrible… jayz should have quit after the black album and ye sucks as always… the beat wants to be bmf and general patton at the same time… 1/5

      1. lex luger made BMF, Hard in the Paint, and this song HAM.

        so thats why they sound similar its the same producer.

        people need to know facts before they comment, ignorance holds no merit nigga.

    113. jays verse was descent but there is alot of jayz dickridrez.. he is kinda overrated.. and this isnt crative at all, they jacked most of the shit from other artists that suck. descent though. and i dont think h is dissin baby, seriously? you are reading that far into what he is saying like he really does hold secret codes that will save the planet lmao fuck outta here

    114. I hate it when they recycle beats or dominant elements from beats and call it something different when it sounds exactly the same…

      In any case this shit is whack.

    115. Super dope beat and a standard verse from jay. I woulda liked a more lyrical verse from mr. west on this one. However, they still have the rest of the album to impress us with.

    117. This song is hard as fuck…what the hell are you faggots listening to? This is how Kanye and Jay Z should be rapping in all their songs.

    118. Kanye has followed on the poor rapping from my dark twisted fantasy. Jigga is nice. Beat is so so, nothing too new here. 2/5

    119. …Yessssss Im a certified Jay-z Stan..You mad ?..how is this a wack song? HOW ..IT aint a classic but shit goes in ..wat the hell are yall listening to

    120. Overall the song is garbage. Kanye’s verse is absoultely terrible. He was at such a lack for words that he even quoted a Weezy line. Thankfully Jay-Z SPAZZED!!!! Three stars and each one is for J’s verse.

    121. This Shit is FIRE !!!! 21 century rap music love it kanye west taking the rap game to the next level it over we will never come back to the basic shit. Every body else has to catch up .

      1. how can you call old school rap basic shit ?!?! youre clearly not a hip hop head son !! rakim, biggie, nas basic ?!?! get the fuck outa hear. its people like you that caused such a downfall in the quality of hip hop music dick riding every artist. dont get me wrong i like kanye but since his first 2 albums he gradually declined imo yet bitches like you jumo on anything he puts out like its the second coming of jesus.

    122. the beat is nothin’ special..sounds like it’s made more for Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross…

      Even Nas would’ve turned this beat down!

    123. So much hate ?! the beat wuz good and that aint really the right beat for Kanye but he still did good.

      Watch the throne Bitch…

      1. Hate? Im tired of all that hater drivel. Hater this and hater that. When people want to express their opinion, assholes like you brand them as haters. Does it make you feel better about yourself. If so, get off your fuckin high-horse!! People are allowed to love or hate as they please….ITS CALLED DEMOCRACY!!!!!

      2. unfortunately, hip-hop has started this trend where people who are critical of others are automatically deemed as haters. its a damn shame!

      3. @jamal illegal

        Truth is, this is why hip-hop is really suffering. Creativity is not being pushed far enough because of complacency and satisfaction. It has become a cardinal sin in hip-hop to critique or voice your opinion even if it may be harsh. At the end of the day, its those rappers who are sitting at the top who push this ‘hater hater hater hater’ childish non-sense. Why? So that nobody challenges there authority helping them to secure there spot instead of giving rise to new cats in the game. So Bubu k put those hater accusations to rest. not for me but for HIP-HOP!

      4. Two things that need to go away are talking about having ‘swag’ and accusing others of being ‘haters’. We need to bury this shit like the word ‘bling.’ Grow the fuck up people!

    124. wow they took Starlito aka All Star song thats bull shit check out @lito615 H.A.M. shit circulated last yr… where they do that ish at fam… trust me im gonna put both on the mixtape now!!! to expose the truth… i am disappointed in both jayz and kanye for this shit

    125. Jay-z and kanye are both sellouts making this commercial garbage.. Soulja boy at least keeps it true to his fans and hiphop roots

      Soulja boy Tell’Em!

    126. Jay brought it hard, ‘Ye did… not nearly as good as he always does. Four stars, five if ‘Ye would’ve actually went “Hard as a mothafucka’.”

      Oh, and like somebody else said, ‘Ye quoted Weezy. Ouch…

    127. Kanye need to take this back in the studio and redo it, and get Nicki and Ross to rap on the beat with Kanye and Jayz.

      1. what you smokin on .. this shit go hardd!! beat is fiiiaa.. im a Rossayy fan but fuck what u talkin about Ye and Jay put it down on this shit

    128. it’s funny how all y’all hate jay-z now. he was cool when he didn’t have big money. maybe if y’all grew as he has grown throughout the years, then you would understand. jay-z talks about money and ballin just like other rappers but on a different and higher level. you like those other rappers because they talk about a-round-away-sh&* (simple sh&*). grow up and get your money up and stop hating. crab in a barrel a$$.

    129. Its funny how when T.I., Wayne, or Ross spits over a beat w/ a soul sample in it they get props. But when Ye and Hov spit over a southern beat its frowned upon. Its 2011, people. The days of having a regional sound are over.

    130. Everyone must be Jealous? This beat is Amazing, Lex Luger Went in, Lyrically it isn’t amazing but fuck it get’s you pumped, great Anthem

      H.A.M

    131. real spil….cause both these niggas in my top 5….this shit was maaaaaad average…im not really a fan of lex luger…but i like his drums…but the beat isnt the problem….its just not that good of a song…i mean hov went in…but this shit was dissappointing

    132. This is track right here is Hot Garbage. Fact not opinion. Lex Lugars beats are played out. There are dozens of beats that sound like this Garbage. HOV sold out rapping on this awaful track. Wanna hear some a DOPE track.. Check out I’m the King by GAME.

    133. are you kidding me?? did u hear what HOV said? yall r crazy. ye was ok but jay went INNNNN on this shit. over ur heads

    134. I didn’t like it at 1st and its still OK. But let’s be real HOV went in on his verse! HE really went hard as a muth@fukcer! 5 stars just for that.

    135. Huge kanye and jay fan, while this track is respectable kanye sounds much better over his own beats but jay-z kills this just as he kills everything. the reason hes the greatest of all time, sounds a ton like bmf too

    136. Not what I was expecting. I have heard beats from lex luger personally and think he should have gave them away. This beat sounds like most of the ones artist buy from him. Not really feeling this but it will probally grow on me.

    137. Lex Luger, you are shit. I have hear your last couple of beats and they all sound like this. Listen to B.M.F., 9 Piece, and H.A.M. They sound the EXACT same. Switch it up a little.

    138. how is a 41 year old nigga out-rapping everybody…??? You’d have to resurrect biggie at this point to find a niggah to compete with jigga

      1. @rudboi: whotf is spending $15 on music anymore??? we on the internet.. n*ggaz is downloading fore free.. ARE YOU??? what’s so fake? kanye rapping about f*cking models? or jay rapping about having half a billi??? If you knew what it felt like to have even a third of the paper they make, you’d FEEL the same way and say the same shit…. So stop all the misunderstood hate you got and FOCUS on making real paper so you know why they talk the way do, N*GGA!!!

      2. those clowns weigh 130lbs soaking wet and you’re talking about paper.

        You don’t even know what the fuck paper is.

        Nice fake advertisting try.

        You and the pigs you like to represent jay & kanye are the haters.

        Posting bullshit to try and brainwash teenagers out of money.

        Get a job.

    139. You guys have to know somethin’
      Lex Luger maybe 19 yrs old
      so he have more time but this shit have to be fuckin great….but this sucks s..

      1. wtf is what??? this is message is to you and every other cat on this site hollering “this track it wack, this track is wack”… RAP is not 90s RAP anymore!!! That era of rap will never exsist anymore… you cant make a muthaf*cker go backwards…. the 90s is over…. Accept the shit for what is… OR you got 2 options, listen to track from the 90s or go listen to Wocka Focka Flame and 50 Cent!!!

    140. yall is buggin jay-z went ham on that track fuck yall mad at me 4 yall dont even kno what i been through i played chicken with a mack truck yall motherfuckers would of been moved, i swimmed waters with great whites yall motherfuckers would of been chewed, i hustled with vulters late nites yall motherfuckers would of been food!! listen to lyrics n not beats dumasses

      1. why are you talkin about run this town? guess you haven’t heard ‘never let me diwn’ or ‘diamonds are forever remix’ or ‘go hard remix’ or every g.o.o.d. friday track that jay was on. listen, they’re both dope, but be real, kanye can’t fuck with jay-z when he’s on his shit.

        off subject, if you haven’t listened to that slaughterhouse, l.o.x. shit, you’re fuckin up. shits hard.

      1. For fuckin real! I miss that dope shit! I dont fuck with ham!

        Shit wasnt bad, but I expected better from these two big headed ass nigguz. Let Lil Wayne and them have this kiddie generation shit. Nigguz suppose to be showing these mutha fuckas how its done not playing Tom Hanks in “Big”.

    141. 5/5
      Commes des Garçon, fuck ur fresh
      Head shots nigga fuck your vest
      Fuck the pig no pork on my fork

      Peace God, ’cause you know a nigga jus went H.A.M.
      dat nigga lex luger
      uggggghh

    142. it’s good, not spectacular but i’m not doubting the album at all, their going to make straight fire. Just no more beats from Lex Luger, they all sound the f**king same.

    143. Jay is going to crush Ye on every song for payback on “Run This Town” when Ye had the better bars. I’m a little disappointed in Ye. He couldn’t handle this beat.

    144. Least than I expected…but not bad after I listened to it a couple of times. Just a wreckless song that could go hand in hand with wreckless moods. Jay-Z killed his verse…Kanye was bullshitin a bit but I’m pretty sure it was on purpose. It’s a Lex Luger beat so you can’t expect but so much…no disrespect to Lex, that nigga talented. But you hear how his records are and there isn’t but so much you do on it but be WRECKLESS! lol

    145. All this talk bout Run This Town….’Ye verse was up/down in its quality. The start was weak, then picked up towards the middle then dropped towards the end. I though Jay’s first verse was solid, but the 2nd wasn’t on Run This Town. Its amazing what critics and then fans will rally behind. ‘Ye did not beat Jay on that track as much as people say. They both did about the same….its just Kanye came with a harder, more hungry delivery.

      Seriously, if this album doesn’t end up MBDTF BEFORE ‘Ye changed the artistic direction (as in no more back to basics, boom bap) then its a let down. It doesnt have to be the ’90s anymore, but folks like Pete Rock, Primo, Madlib and Q-Tip are going to FORCE them to up the ante given the legends they are. Someone like Lex Luger doesnt command that kind of respect for his beat at this stage. Shoot, even Polow the Don and Danja would command greater respect. Lex is for the young kids in terms of his stuff, and Jigga and ‘Ye really need to get their ish together. My Bitch was a dope track (produced by Q-Tip) its a shame they would choose to put this out. Its just awful

    146. track is nice sounds like a street single just to build up the album COME ON YALL ITS JAY AND MR WEST ITS GOING TO BE CLASSIC STOP THE BS.. JAY WENT HAM.

    147. i have never commented on hiphopdx before
      i hated this song when i first listened
      but listening it again and again (had to give a chance because of jay)
      its amazing haha, the course with the beat is dirty and hova kills it .
      peace.

    148. OMG! Jay killed this joint. Ye’ was cool… But Jay went in so hard and went nuts!! I’m feeling this joint and the beat builds. Got me amped! H.A.M.

    149. how can something be kinda dope, man times have changed. somethings either dope or whack stop making excuses for weak music ‘oh yeah this is kinda dope’ ‘oh if you listen to this song more than once you like it’ gtfo this isnt either of their best work call me a hater i dont care its my opinon but deep own alll the true hip hop heads will agree and all the little casual bitch hip hop listeners will brand me a hater.

    150. I think this track is decent. Only listened once, though. I have say I was expecting to be ‘wowed’ since Kanye had stepped it up so much on this latest album. Jay-Z, too. Even though it’s not his best album, I thought BP3 was very good artistically. I was hoping that they would give us something with one of the classic producers said to be working on this album with them. The beat is straight, but I feel like these two have more to give than a track like this. Lyrics are decent, but being older I’m more into content now, so this track does not excite. The album is still getting bought, but I hope it’s not just some thrown together collection of tracks they just did on the side like this sounds. We’ll see…

    151. I love these nigga, but that doesn’t mean just because they are together it always work. This shit is aight, but cmon niggas, yall REALLY can’t do everything. Nice try I guess…

    152. I’m not wasting my hard earned $.99 on iTunes for this garbage. Cats need to get back to making real music and stop trying to be so damn original. This track is horrible!

    153. damn..im shocked to read all these negative comments on kanye…like they dont even like him at all…but when he drops a good song, he is the best rapper all of a sudden…i agree this song did not meet our expectation but i will not call it a horrible song like most of the comments…just kanye switching styles, and i like it…embrace it too if you a kanye fan!

    154. sounds like an intro to the album or an interlude track. now if you look at it like that, this song is a 4. if its a track on the album then give it a 3.5

    155. Kanye and Jay are wack as hell what were they trying to make, a Lil Wayne song, but Lil Gayne is still better so I would rather listen to him than this shit.

      Eminem kills all these little shits with Recovery and Despicable, thats why he outsold Ye last year!!! Kanye gets worse by the day.

      1. Eminem sucks, he’s getting worse and worse. He outsold kanye because people like you dickride everything he does. The funny thing is though, you talked shit about Ye, Jay, and Wayne (even though i hate Wayne also), yet Em has made music with all of them and probably will continue to do so in the future. Oh and Ye’s basically at a mill and his shit is still selling, i don’t even think he cares about selling albums anymore, all his shit has platinumed once, he’s in a good spot.

      2. no eminem record sells surpass everyone elses cuz the world as a mass recognizes his superior skillz and white ppl actually buy their fav artists albums and dont buy the bootleg like black ppl do yall are your own worst enemies i swear but still point finger at everybody else as the reason for your problems

      3. lol, Eminem used this kind of beat twice on his album (your never over, no love) .. Jay never did before (except put on rmx I think) so thats bullshit..

      1. Couldn’t agree more!
        Kanye is a fag that gets publicized because of the Taylor Swift thing. THey’re both faggots and it sucks that Jay went down to Kanye’s level so screw them all, let hip hop stay real.

    156. Niggas quit hating and support your bitch ass moms nigga! Ol sucka duck ass niggas man damn do you and dont worry bout tthe next man! Ye Yezzy and igga bout to kill this album!

    157. 4/5. Lyricism coulda been better but the beat and the flow of the whole song made up for it. Jay killed it. Kanye needed some work.

    158. This song goes hard…..Kanye held his and Jay just ripped it like everything else he’s been on lately…Jay just gets better and better, lyrically he murdered this track……The hook sounds tight in the whip too, but u gotta b quadding….5/5 imo

    159. da best song of 2011 so far. kanye and jay-z! went h.a.m on diz song. awsome shit. 100000000000000000/5

      ROC NATION/GOOD MUZIK BITCH! WATCH DA THRONE NIGGAZ!

      1. Watch the fuckin throne be in the hands of devils who stole all our other forms of music using their power and wealth to perpetuate a cycke that makes us appear to look like we are not doing shit when the best of us are overlooked or given crumbs so we’ll be quiet and go on!

    160. this song is underrated.. surprised actually.. the beat is fire. and kanye and jay go hard.. love the record

    161. This is pretty straight in my opinion. I think people aren’t receptive to it because it isn’t the single we were expecting, which is probably something soul sampled or something to that extent. Jay went in, and there progressing you know. Plus, its nice to see Lex Luger expand to other artists outside the south.

      1. progerssing? nigguz was doin this fast rap shit about 10 years ago! Outcast, Twista, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Crucial Conflict, shit even Jao rocked a style similar to this on “Big Pimpin” with U.G.K. and B.I.G. did it with Bone Thugs on “Notorius Thugs”.

        I beg to differ, homie

    162. Lex Luger reminds me exactly of The Runners. All his beats sound exactly the same and everyone wants to start fuckin with him. SMH……Change the sound up come on.

    163. I’m like really half yall niggas lying really keep it real with niggas THIS SONG IS FIRE. Hov killed it and Ye went in too. You guys just dont understand this is about as best as it gets. Like what are you comparing this too? Other music or previous music from Hov and Kanye. Its effortless for Hov to get on a track and spit fire and we already know Ye is gonna do his thing. Either way, they put out music that either you love or you hate…but whats the real reason for the hate?

    164. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. I dunno’ fam, I think due to the rushed nature and the fact that Kanye is coming right off of MBDTF, this project smells of mediocrity. While he’s probably hands down my fave mainstream emcee, we all know Jay is capable of it when things are rushed…see: Blueprint 2; though, his verse saved this song from the depths. The Lex Luger track is sound, but it should’ve been on a Ross album. Due to the several producers and potential theme issues, this joint could be all over the place, with no cohesion. Maybe that’s the point though? Who knows? At this point in each of their careers, they can afford to do what the f*** they want without any real repercussions.

    166. yo i’m a jay fan, but for real this was ass. jay’s verse was ass.

      jay bout to fall off (with his old ass)

      watch the throne bout to be so much garbage only niggas in denial will like that shit

    167. Jay z is my fav rapper of all time but man this wasnt hot at all.this is a two star for me. kayne was terrible n hov man hov if hov is now too old to be relevent so what. he did more for hip hop than pac n biggie at least to me.

    168. gave it a day and listened again. jay’s flow was ridiculous but not enough to raise the song above my original rating of 3. ye was uninspired and the beat was too scattered for me. not wack just not my bag.

    169. working with this wackass dude Lex Luger is a insult to the fans who love Jay-Z ad Kanye. they are above that. awful song

    170. big fan of Ye and Jay but this song is horrible how can YOU MAKE A SONG SO AVERAGE AS THIS? leave that to wayne, waka etc.

      MAKE THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!

    171. This shit is awful… Lex Luger makes lame ass beats. Its almost like he quantized his hihats to triplet 8ths, and snares to triplet 16ths, and expects to make hits. Can’t believe Kanye stooped down to this garageband music shit… specially after I heard Thats My Bitch. Luger can’t touch Q-tip like Soulja Boy can’t touch Kanye.

    172. not feeling this shit. The beat was too cluttered. Ye verse was ediocore at best. Jay did his thing (hich was a surprise) Overall a 2.5 out of 5. Not bad but not that good either

    173. Chi stand up when Mr. West is in the building. Jay going in on this track, the beat is going to take some getting use to. All in all tho, I’m feeling it.

    174. JAY-Z IS DONE. DONT BE LIKE JORDAN AND EMBARRASS YOURSELF. THIS SONG IS MAD STUPID. JAY-Z IS SO ENGROSSED IN HIMSELF, HE CANT SEE HE LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT! MAN, WHERE IS THE REAL BROOKLYN?

    175. you guys are totally wrong, this is the best song they’ve done together since never let me down including monster, the beat is sick, I wish beats with this dark theme continue. 5 stars.

    176. Idk if the song was really all its hyped up to be…I mean the song’s okay but we all know Jay and Ye could have done way better…On a beat this hard especially with it being produced by Lex Luger who always shuts down…But I guess I’m kinda more use to hearing Gucci destroy a beat like this or T.I. depends on how you look at it…

    177. the beat was a tad bit better than both rappers! i like jay’s style or flow on it but neither one of them said much but if you watch jay-z’s master class on the oprah network he says clearly that he doesnt write every song to have the greatest lyrics! sometimes he writes to express anger, sometimes he writes to express fun, sometimes its a show of skills, etc…which is understandable but HAM isnt a new saying and its been around the south for a minute so i think this a fun dumb-down version of two great artists on a hot Virginia-produced track by LEX LUGER

    178. Pppssshh!!!..Jay and Yeezy’s verses could’ve been better.They should remix this and get Wayne,Drake{cause their gaurding their seperate thrones}then,Rihanna to do some of that opera by herself and add a better chorus…3.2

    179. never let me down in my books is one of the best songs of all time, and this is pretty dissapointing remembering who this is.

    180. L M A O!!!…ilove that opera sound but dey culd add two kingz like wayne nd drake on this then redo their verses nd then we’ll have aye debate between who went hardest..

    181. spoiled babies in here, don’t even appreciate good raps anymore.. wait till watch the throne drops jackasses! this shit is HAM!

    182. HEY ALL OUR FACEBOOK FANS!!! WSCT IS HAVING A FUNDRAISER FOR THE NATIONAL CHILDREN’S LEUKEMIA FOUNDATION!!! WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO VISIT OUR WEB SITE http://WWW.WSCTWORLDWIDE.COM AND DONATE $1 TO HELP CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM LEUKEMIA!!! THEY NEED OUR HELP AND THE WSCT FAMILY IS PUSHING HARD TO HELP !!! SO HELP US OUT, COME ON, ITS JUST A DOLLAR…………

      1. i’ll beg. please extreme overlord. comment this already awesome song bound to have 35 pages of comments by tuesday. if you hurry maybe you’ll blow our mindss

    183. hhhhhheeeggghhh! seriously shut the fuck up yeezy i cant take ur metrosexual ass serious anymore. wish jay-z linked up with a real mc instead of this artistic queer

    184. Kinda funny my homies in a group called Street Justice outta Inkster MI have a CD called GO HAAM. I love how the mainstream steals from underground.
      streetjusticehiphop.com
      twitter.com/streetjustus

      1. your name fits ya snug. i wasnt really saying anyone stole anything i said it was funny that it happens and happened to sj. your heroes in the light steal from the sewer dwelling rappers ALL THE TIME.

      2. uhm. first off. the underground is like a piece of coal. you gotta dig in it to find a diamond. and beleive me. theres alot of gay crap in the underground just like mainstream. like im sure your friends group heard a song on the radio quickly wrote down the lyrics and Then claimed someone stole it

    185. Nah, yall got too much money to be coming out w/ raps like this…A whole lotta cursing & n-word usage..on top of that yall sound mad light in the throat, over an opera sounding track?( i guess that supposed to give it a regal feel ) Yall need to remix that up. I hear Bun B., Styles P., all ova this joint.

    186. No matter what, even the biggest hater has to admit. Jay’s flow on this is BANANAS. One of his best flow since BP2. When he starts saying “Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily” His flow is just bonkers. I say this is a 4/5.

    187. The beat is bonkers and Jay goes off…but Yeezy surprisingly sounds weak on this track. So I give it a 4/5.

    188. This is false advertisement. They are capable of going harder on there verses than this bullshit. I feel like i could have gone harder then they did the beat is dope but the out is ….disappointing

      1. yessir! Real heads please get at this wack shit and show these stupid ass young kids who’ll eat anything money is attached to how to rhyme and call the track “S.P.A.M.”!

        SOFT PUSSY ASS MUSIC

    189. “I PLAY CHICKEN WITH MACK TRUCKS..YALL MUHFUCKAS WOULD’VE BEEN MOVED..”…JAY CONTINUES TO SHINE…AND KANYE WAS KANYE..FUC YALL LISTENIN TOO..ITS ACTUALLY NIGZ ON HERE WHO PLAYED THEYSELF EARLY AND SAID THE BEAT WAS WACK..FUCOUTTAHERE..U SHOULD NEVA PLAY YO WHOLE WACK ASS HAND FIRST..WE DONT BELIEVE U..THIS SHIT KNOCK..”HARD AS A MUHFUCKA LET U NIGZ KNOW WHO I AM”…I GUESS IF “WHITE JESUS” WAS ON IT..ITS A CLASSIC..LAMEZ..EVERY FUCKIN EMINEM TRACK ON THIS BOARD GOT ALMOST A FIVE..IMPOSSIBLE SHIT YALL TRYIN TO MAKE PPL BELIEVE THAT NIGGA HOT AND TURN AROUND AND SAY JAY(WHO HAS MORE QUOTABLES THAN ANY RAPPER EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME) IS WACK AND KANYE WHO JUST DROPPED A XXL..FIVE MIC ALBUM IS WACK….AND EMINEM RECORDS ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND..FUCOUTTAHERE

      1. Dude, did Jay get the highest selling albums of the DECADE? No? Didnt think so. They are both ill lyricists and sales dont mean shit so dont hate.

      2. BITCH! Kanye’s album fuckin sucks!! But you think it’s great because it got an XXL or some shit from some magazine that doesn’t fuckin mean shit anymore. XXL and the Source both are so irrelevant now, fuck them. this shit is garbage.

    190. Niggas here a beat with some opera or orchestral shit in it and just think its tight because it has a different sound. So fucking what! Dont mean the sounds are arranged properly or are pleasing to the ear.

      Shit is unfocused to me

    191. lyrics on point.. lex luger side of the beat on point.. kanye west production killed this beat.. damn mr. jesus walks you don’t have to put your screaming voices on every beat.. LEX LUGER WENT HAM!!!!!!11

    192. What I hate about white people they want every f***ing thing look at Africa put this s*** in your truck and drive for a about 30 seconds and you’ll hear white boy doesn’t have one song that can f*** wit this Dre found him just remember that

    193. I thought about how they could make a track like this work. They could make it a North and South united joint. If Ye and Jay did this song as a collabo with da Bugatti Boyz (Diddy just for an ad-lib or two and have him bop about like a coon in da video like he usually do)and drop Waka in there mostly to do the chorus, it would be fire….commercial pop rap bullshit, but fire nonetheless. We need something hard to drive ignantly down the block to.

    194. WHAT THE FUCK. I haven’t even listened to this yet, but I think hip hop really may be coming to an end. PRODUCED BY LEX LUGER?! IS THIS A FUCKIN JOKE? SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON RIGHT NOW? Kanye and Jay on a track produced by LEX LUGER? I might jump off a bridge.

      1. Im right behind you…i suggest everyone else follows! THIS SHIT IS TRASH!!!! Im no longer looking forward to the album. They can shelf that shit as far as im concerned. SMFH!

      2. trash, kanye dont need to be on a track with jay first off and to top it off for “2 of the best” i think its an average track…

    195. nas damian marley already had a collaboration
      this should have changed the game!!!! unfortunately all these mason MC stick together in there mission to promote ignorance
      materialism in the world!! “we already know you have MONEY JAY Z!!!!” what else are these uncle tom ass nIGGAS going to talk about????

      1. You are right! Real talk, Distant Relatives was the best album of the past couple years. That shit gets passed over for this Top 40 bullshit. I fuck with Kanye and Jay, no question…but Nas/Damian > 99.9% of this shit coming out today!

    196. SMGDH at these haters. Lex Luger is producing fire lately, n Kanye n Jay-z did they thing. While yall hating, they’re in they mansions not caring while fuckin tha baddest hoes in tha industry. CLOWNS

      1. That’s not the point you stupid faggot. Hip hop used to be ILL because everyone was original and had their own sound. Why the FUCK would Kanye and Jay Z of all people, be on a track produced by Wacka FLocka Flame’s producer? U fuckin kidding me? Kanye West of all people?? Maybe the illest producer in the game? FUck outta here…GO COP THAT CELPH TITLED AND BUCKWILD ALBUM, THAT’S ALL ANY HIP HOP HEAD NEEDS RIGHT NOW. WHEN YOU HEAR IT, YOU’LL REMEMBER JUST HOW RIDICULOUS HIP HOP USED TO BE.

    197. on some real ish these 2 ninjas stole the whole thought process “ham” from starlito and that ninja killed the ish.

    198. shit is weak i dnt fuk wit eminem n definetly not wit jay either so u cant say my comment is either or!!but this shit right here is fukn wack the only thing that saves itself might b the beat n i dnt even like it!! and to gimick313 fuck u talking bout they stole it from yo boys then your boys stole it from the south cause thats who i herd use that term first n fuck yo inkster boys nigga Southwest Detroit all day if u aint talking detroit u aint talking shit u fucking gimick we the real shit!!

    199. sounds like a shot at baby

      N-ggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like
      These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
      I’m like really half a billi n-gga
      Really you got baby money
      Keep it real with n-ggas
      N-ggas aint got my lady money

      1. Definitely. Birdman is always runnin his mouth about how nobody makes doe like Cash Money. About time jay got some testiculars and went back at em.

        reverbnation.com/miketwain

    200. what the fuk is this. clikd on this lyk yhhhhh watch the throne. man if these 2 gna go lyk dis the throne gna be way outta of reach. terrible trak. 2 stars only cuz the beat and the choir

    201. Wow Jay went off on this one. I’m impressed. So he still can rap. I was starting to worry about him. Now Jay all you need to do is be consistent. Kanye was ok on this track and I like Lex Luther beats although I never thought I’d see the day with Jay and Ye rapping over it.

    202. This song is just ridiculous. at first i thought it was just okay at best, but then started humming the opera melody in my bed at night. Next thing I know the entire verse is in my head and I never even tried to memorize it. These dudes know how to get in my head and fuck shit up ROYALLY. WATCH THE THRONE NIGGA

    203. This is utter trash. Anybody supporting this is fooling themselves. I feel sorry for you. Kanye? Hov? BACK to the lab! BOTH OF YOU.

      1. mack maine used that line a LONG time ago.

        “send head shots
        nigga, fuck your vest
        and I will fight a fan
        I’m rap’s Ron Artest.”

    204. Guess I didnt miss anything since this is my first time hearing this, but Jay came with some quoatables as usual, but do over needed for Ye verse smh

    205. This track was cool but i was expecting more from the first single something epic like Run This Town but i know they got more to come so imma stay tuned. Twitter @MALZMONEY facebook.com/MALZMONEY

    206. I’ve been waiting for this 4fuckingEVA and this is what we get…? This is the first wack verse I’ve eva heard from Yeezy, and Jay didn’t say much (which is unusual)…I’m fans of both so I guess I have to wait and see what else they have in store…

    207. Corny.

      I’ve come to expect nothing less out of today’s mainstream “hip hop”.

      Jay-Z should be fucking ashamed of himself. Kanye West and Jay-Z, two of the best mc’s of the last decade have completely sold out for this new era disco bullshit.

      Can a real motherfucker step up and rip the game a new one?

      It’s time for a new Pac, Wu-Tang, Eminem (before he turned into crap like these guys) to come out and turn the game upside down on it’s head.

    208. Really really awful beat. Typical Lex Luger track, the snares on this one clash so horribly with the faux-operatic bullshit. Yeezy and Hov don’t even go very hard over it. Disappointing.

    209. its not your typical jay track. i think thats why peolple dont like it because it has a more southern appeal. my opinion its fire. mimus all the faux orpera singer break down.

    210. Kanye killed this for real! Killed it as in made it wack as fuck! Horrible verse…Jay did his thing tho

    211. I don’t understand why people like Kanye West. This men is first off gay, he is a shopping-queen freak. He just bought a watch of himself in diamonds. He steal from Taylor Swift, and then goes on a long vacation because of humility. The President calls him a “Jackass”. During interviews, he stutters like a retard and could barely answer a question. He has break-downs about not winning awards, I mean, why do you guys like this men. I noticed he seems like a very spoiled, selfish rich black kid, I’m sorry! But, I know I’m not the only one seeing this. After his mother’s death, you will think the men will calm down, and realize materialism isn’t everything,esp after losing your mother, that has to garner some type of realization.

      1. Why do people like Miles Davis? Why do people like Jimi Hendrix? Why do people like any enigmatic artist. BECAUSE THEY MAKE GOOD ART. Miles Davis was a heroin addict, but was respected for his talent. Every rocknroll icon in history has essentially advocated a life of “sex,drugs,rnr” I mean why would anyone like these people. The reality is its THE MUSIC. Kanye fans are fans of his music, not his lifestyle. Get your head out your anus and think before you post dumb shit. (ps. even if kanye is a homosexual, why would that make anyone hate him? you sound ignorant)

    212. meh…weak ass rhymes, weak ass beat. Expected more lyrically from Jay Z, Kanye isnt known for dope rhymes, so no expectations from him. Kanye is done, hes like Tyson past his prime. I doubt Kanye will ever achieve greatness like his first 2 albums again.

    213. this is S.A.D… sound of alcohol & drugs, thats exactly what this is. totally an unfinished and uninspired song. when compared to other works by these two artists, respectfully, this is by far one of the most unimpressive. go back to writing a few bars, please. this “off the top of my head” stuff is simply not working. especially with some of the works of music from many up and coming artists over the last 2 years. really, the last minute of this song was straight opera music? and most likely not even composed, just sampled from someone else. try harder.

    214. There is a lot of hate here. It would help if everybody didn’t think they could rap. If it’s not hot then just ignore it. Do these guys comment on country music blogs too? Like “Toby Keith coulda went way harder on that guitar yo”

      1. lmao, thats some real shit, but i have to admit, the beat is super hard, but the lyrics dont match up well. but over all ill listen to it

    215. weak… kanye is trying to sound like lil’ wayne and jay’s verse is shit compared to what he’s capable of.. Both trying to sound like southern rappers with the “twang” or accent or whatever they’re putting in their voices

      H.A.M. = Horrible Ass Music

    216. i honestly refused to comment on this track until i heard it a couple more times. im not as disapointed with the track lol but still to me it came up a lil short from wut i expected but ive learned to just not expect much and enjoy music =) lol its not bad i like both rappers so it works but i do know the albums gunna be hot so im not gonna hate

    217. HOV WENT IN!!!!

      Fuck y’all mad at me for? You don’t even know what I’ve been through/
      I played chicken with a Mack truck, y’all mothafuckers woulda been moved/
      I swam waters with great whites, y’all mothafuckers woulda been chewed/
      I hustle with vultures late nights, y’all muthafuckers woulda been food/
      Fuck wrong with these dudes, try to walk around in these shoes/
      See the shit I saw growing up, and maybe you can take a peek at these boots/
      Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily/
      like, these rappers rap about all the shit that I do really/
      I’m like, really? half a billi? nigga/ Really you got baby money, keep it real with niggas, niggas ain’t got my lady money/ Watch the Throne don’t step on our road, bad enough we let you step on our globe/
      When my nephew died, daddy dead, n—as took the price on my uncles head/
      Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled, so I feel like I would like to know my uncles’ bread/
      Bow down, brother pay homage, don’t spill hate all on my garments/
      Comme des Garçons, fuck your fresh, head shots nigga fuck your vests/
      Fuck the pig, no pork on my fork, peace God cause you know a nigga just went H.A.M

      Best Jay-Z verse since Free Mason!!!!

    218. How is anyone actually feeling this beat? Shit is fucking garbage. Sounds like a fucking demonic opera on angel dust and shrooms… Lex Luger tried to make an “epic”, beat… He failed miserably.

      1. Isn’t this your 3rd time posting on this..? If this “demonic opera on angel dust and shrooms” is so bad, why do you keep coming back..?

    219. Fucking horrible. Jay needs to pull Kanye’s ass out of the booth and throw him behind the boards where he belongs.

    220. man I bet whenever we decipher what the chorus is exactly saying at the end its gonna be somehting crazy….or in this case most likely devilish lol

    221. FUCK WHAT NIGGAS IS SAYING THIS SHIT IS HOT I BET THIS ALBUM DO CRAZY NUMBERS FIRST WEEK THIS SONG GO HARD IS FUCK IS Y’ALL STUPID JAY N YEA DID THEY THING THAT BEAT IS BAGGING HARD SON

    222. This shit is hard and it evens sounds better the 2nd time you hear it. HOV mudered it and Kanye did his thing also. This by far Lugers best beat since BMF…

      1. No, actually, it does not. Lex Luger has never made a good beat. His down south fruity loops production is a a fucking joke. Especially on this song. What the fuck happened to talent?

    223. this song is crazy… i dont giv a fuck if they worship the devil on some illuminati shit,thats there life… i luv there music.

    224. ‘Watch the Throne’ motherfu**er sh*t sounds ill in my whip. ye was good but jay went h.a.m. listen to it with some good speakers and please kill all the hatin its a new year people

    225. not hating but this is not a good record! I always check for jay and ye stuff but not feelin this beat!Lyrics were ok from both sides i just feel like theirs too much noise goin on in the track! trade bars on tracks like Devil In a New Dress or Dark Fantasy or The Joy! Those beats are sick!Not even DL this though!

    226. Im not hating on opera. But, I dont know that many rap/opera songs. the beat was to much. Alright lyrics though, kanye and jay are two of the best rappers today.

    227. Had to hear it twice, the beat needs some base for real, other then that the first time I heard it, I was like WTF….gave it three days and tried again…now I can get wit it. 3.5 only because it didn’t have me pumped up the first time…one.

    228. How are u gonna say that Kanye ”Sucks”? That really dont even make any sense. If you take Kanye along with his whole rep in the rap game out…? Kanye is one of the few vets keepin hip hop alive.

      Watch the Throne Bitch.

    229. you guys hating on HOV did any of you guys peep the lyrics by him..??? and since supposedly he did a bad job on the track why don’t you haters make a better song and post that shit!

    230. This is GOD AWFUL and I like these 2 when they bring their A+ game (Jay-Z that’s Black Album and before AKA 96-03) and Kanye’s first 3 albums (mostly first 2) and some of his latest…

      1. I liked MBDTF, maybe Kayne’s lyrics weren’t on point but it was overall good but the Jay Z part is pretty much correct, Kingdom Come and Blueprint 3, nothing to get siced over. American Gangster was so so

        @weezer Late registration was Kanyes 2nd….

    231. I don’t understand some of the people hating on this song saying Jay and Ye’ coulda done better. Ye’ wasn’t godly with his verse but it was iight, and Jay spit probably the best thing he has done in a couple YEARS (BP3 had no lyrical masterpieces). But here is Jay’s verse:

      (Jay-Z)
      F— y’all mad at me for?
      You don’t even know what I’ve been through
      I play chicken with a Mack truck
      Y’all mutha—-ers woulda been moved
      I swam waters with Great Whites
      Y’all mutha—-ers woulda been chewed
      I hustle with vultures late nights
      Y’all mutha—-ers woulda been food

      F— wrong with these dudes?
      Try to walk around in these shoes
      See the sh– I saw growing up
      And maybe you can take a peek at these boots

      N—as fantasize about the sh– that I do daily
      Like these rappers rap about all the sh– that I do really
      I’m like really, half a billi, n—a?
      Really you got baby money
      Keep it real with n—as, n—as ain’t got my lady money
      Watch the throne, don’t step on our road
      Bad enough we let you step on our globe
      When my nephew died, daddy dead
      N—as took the price on my uncle’s head
      Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
      So I feel like I would like to know my uncle’s bread

      Bow down, brother pay homage
      Don’t spill hate all on my garments
      Commes des Garçon, f— your fresh
      Head shots n—a, f— your vests
      F— the pig, no pork on my fork

      Peace God, ’cause you know a n—a just went H.A.M.
      Hard as a mutha—-er, let these n—as know who I am
      Yeah I’m ’bout to go H.A.M.
      Hard as a mutha—-er, let these n—as know who I am
      Yeah I’m ’bout to go H.A.M.

      1. if u think BP3 had no lyrical masterpieces..U NEVER LISTENED TO THAT ALBUM..SO U INVALIDATED UR WHOLE ARGUMENT FROM THAT POINT ON..”WHAT WE TALKIN ABOUT”..AND “THANK YOU” ARE BOTH LYRICAL EXERCISES..”I WAS GON KILL A COUPLE RAPPERS..BUT THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES”…

    232. I love jay and kanye and i like kanyes new album alot so i had high ass expectations for this album but this single is extremely disappointing…whats the point of a kanye album with out kanye beats? i mean this shit is horrible im from atlanta and thats where that ham shit was born and theres been plenty songs about goin ham but this is more like a HOT ASS MESS..sad i hope they realize the response this is gettin cus i know what they capable of and this is unoriginal whack but jays flow is crazy too bad the beat and hook sux.

    233. Yea …. Fist time I heard it I was like hummmmm… Next few times the shit went H.A.M. Jay killed it. He said a lot within that one verse. Kanye killed the song in his own right also. The beat was average

    234. Cant front this track had to grow on me but after giving it a few listens this shit going hard but i know they got some heat under there sleev. plus this song is telling my story I ABOUT TO GO H.A.M “fuck yall Mad at Me Fo Yall dont even know what i been through”
      FOLLOW ME @MALZMONEY Facbook.com/MALZMONEY

    235. this is a waste of my internet.. not hating i just do not like this song at all.. kanye been spittin aite recently and hov usually solid.. but i cant feel this, maybe need some more listens, but disapointin to say the least

    236. THIS SH** HOT!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYBODY SAYIN IT NOT YOUR CRAZY JAY-Z KILLED IT KANYE OK BE JAY GOT’EM 5 STARS

    237. Y’all nigga KNOW y’all lying if y’all say this was hot. This song was THE wackest shit I’ve EVER heard from both of them and I love them both. Pure garbage…JAY-Z NEEDS TO FUCKING RETIRE!!!! J. Cole come save them from ruining their careers and drop “The Blow Up”

    238. I’M HAVING A FUNDRAISER FOR KIDS WITH LEUKEMIA IF INTERESTED IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE JUST LOG ON TO http://WWW.WSCTWORLDWIDE.COM/

    239. I was acutally waiting to check this song out of a while. Different sound then I expected. Respect to all artists doing their thing, though!

      Hey Everyone,
      I know its annoying seeing people spam messages all over the place, and I’m sorry, but recently my exgirlfriend and bestfriend took her own life.

      As long as one person can relate and I can make them feel like their not alone then I’m doing good…

    240. i like this song forreal…. but was that a diss wen jay said u got baby money???? Baby aka birdman then money could he be talkin about young money..jw

      1. I thought that also too. Especially the way it stands out in the song… It isnt. He’s just sayin that their money is little. Like Babies……. Maybe…. cause “Watch the Throne” Could be talkin to the two at the top atm- Wayne and Drake. But i doubt that it was a diss… but dont let it fly over your head just yet. Wait for people to talk

    241. aye.. for all haters—> I HATE JAYZ TOO! but this song is catchy. Not sayin dudes went hard on it. But this song was stuck in my head at work.. so it gotta be a lil good
      `

    242. i wonder if half the niggas on here who deemed this shit weak really agree wit they own verdict….cus yall niggas is trippin…lex luger wit ye and hov i find this shit outstanding

    243. Jay ain’t dissin Wayne, If you recall the song ” Everyday A Star is Born” on Blueprint 3, Hova says something along the lines like: “Wayne scorchin, I’ll applaud him, if he keeps going, I’ll pass the torch to him”

    244. After about 8 listens, I have a verdict. Its just OK…not good, but not bad either.

      The rating is about right.

      3/5.

    245. im about to go H.A.M HARD AS A MUTHAFUKA let dees nikka know who i am…..fuck yall mad at me fo yall dont know what i been through i played chicken wit a mac truck……shit this go hard lol really nigga you got baby money lol..lmao who said jay aint still got it

    246. Ah this is great, I love ye style n this is refreshing to here jay z on some good shit I didn’t like alot of bp3 but this I can fuck wit. Looking forward to the album keep it up!

    247. It’s funny riding to this seeing people’s faces when the opera kicks in after J. I’m pretty sure they must be like “uh?… wtf is this guy listening to?”

      Bet the album gonna be H.A.M.
      5/5

    248. You kinda expect Kanye to take risks but Jay-Z took a bug risk with this one. That is a big deal for a man who is so obsessed with this legacy.

    249. WHAT THA FUK YA MAD AT JAY FO? THAT NIGGA PLAY CHICKEN WIT A MACK TRUCK YA MUTHAFUKAS WOULD OF BEEN MOVED! lol!

    250. The chorous or singing sounds like some masonic shit.. lyrics and beat are average.. no real issues addressed. Flows are good. 2 stars.

    251. “I Started out on 1 pill now im takin 10 a day/ Em said i need help, Dre said the sh!t Okay/ Next thing you know a n!gga sittin up in AA/ Hi My Name Is Curtis Jackson, Im an Addict, Gotta Have It”

    252. Good track JAy goes all the way in!!! I’m the biggest Jay-Z & Kanye fan so they woulda had to bum for me not to like it but I do expect better joints on the album should be a classic!!!

      Y’all check me out as well I make Great Music trust me!

    253. It’s funny how people are hating on this beat when it’s the only positive aspect of this song…Kanye’s lyrics – and especially his flow – are completely garbage…Jay-Z’s part was mediocre at best…

    254. if this was track 11 on a cd yall would not be bitching and complaining yall be quoting the lyrics for your facebook status faggots…i know the hype was crazy but lets be serious…

    255. Artist, Producer, and Director, Mass is stirring up controversy releasing a new music video (They aint Gon’ Last) depicting characters from the popular hit HBO drama “The Wire” via his youtube page (www.youtube.com/massordietv). The shows producers are allegedly livid at the young director for not getting the proper clearance. Although no copyrights have been violated, the producers feel that the show was not properly represented in the video. “At this point very little legal action can be taken” says an Hbo representative at a press conference earlier this week. Chris Pribilio at Massterpiece Entertainment released this statement: “We did not break any laws here. All we did was loosely base the video on the earlier days of 2 characters from the Wire and everyone is getting all worked up. At the end of the day, it’s just more pub for us”! Although there have been no charges brought up against Mass or Massterpiece Entertainment, HBO has been working to try and get the video banned from youtube and other video streaming sites, but as of now, it looks like we have found our next Internet sensation in Mass.

    256. HONESTLY I CANT EVEN LISTEN TO THIS SHIT. I WANA KNO HOW DUDES BE COMIN OUT WITH SHIT BASED ON GOIN H.A.M AND WHAT MAKES IT WORSE ITS BEAST OF ARTIST LIKE KANYE AND JAY.. AND THEY WONDER Y HIPHOP IS DEAD.. STOP MAKIN SHIT JUST FOR THE MONEY AND MAKE MUSIC FROM THE HEART.

      1. go listen to DEE-1 homie.. he will fill that void you looking for.. he got tracks like “Jay, 50, Weezy”, “Fresh Air”, “One Man Army” on youtube..

    257. Honestly, Kanye get off the bullshit. I miss the old you. I’m getting the metaphor and subliminals but I don’t think you should have sold your soul for the game and money. You didn’t need to do it that way, even though the things were rough with the love life and with your moms dying, I know. For the rest of ya’ll keep your head up, god is looking over you and even though things are rough, you can’t give up.

    258. Sounds like the same ol shit I heard on the radio. And it’s getting the same treatment…turning this shit off.

      Seriously this is the best Ye and Jay can do? This is easily the worst collaberation they’ve done. It’s like if Rick Ross and Plies wrote their shit. It’s just as basic in flow and content.

      And I know Jay-Z is the master of bragging (hell that’s all he did on Blueprint 3) but at least he’s had his own style to it. This sounds like a desperate musician trying to get back on the top 40 list of something

    259. i can see why some aren’t feeling this, but i think its really not all that bad. sure, not classic material but i heard waaaay worse songs than this out there, maybe the bar is just too low…either way, still looking forward hearing their album, i never really like jay-z’s singles anyway, so i don’t judge his albums before i hear them…honestly, this colab concept for them seems like the kind of thing that would be dope for them to continue doing over time and improve on, they could keep each other in check (musically), making them sharper with the music overall…just like all the best duos, Blackstar (even though they only had one album, u could hear the friendly lyrical competition)or Red n Meth, or even Beans and Jay before the current BS, or Mobb Deep (tell me Hav didn’t come out from P’s shadow with the lyrics over the years!) etc…not to say thats what this will be, but over time it could be…imagine, the semi-annual watch the throne album where jay and ye get together with a team of producers (No I.D, Jus Blaze, Pete Rock, Ye himself obviously, probably Swizz too, etc.) couple guest spots and just drop that shit…probably won’t happen tho…o well…

      and before i’m off this at whatever ungodly hour it is, just noticed this shit got damn near 1000 comments…so as far as causing a commotion/getting attention…mission accomplished

    260. Yo if yall like Drake and J Cole and are lookin forward to Take Care and Cole World, type in “Cole Victory” in youtube for a new song and its the first link

      1. The fact that this is the first single they released proves their egos are out of control. They think anything they do is AMAZING.

    261. kanye is just weird now.. his first 3 albums were fire but ever since then everything he says, and does is weird.. jay needs to sit him down and explain to him how to manage money.. its crazy 50cent knows how to handle fame alot better than kanye does.

    262. kanYes’ head isn’t right, he is trying to get into the illuminati with jay-z. ever since i did research on jay-z and his hova. or h o v. he thinks he’s god. i can’t listen to his tracks anymore. and kanYe is getting into it. not listening to him anymore either.

      1. YOU ACTING LIKE A BITCH ITS JUST MUSIC.GET ACTUAL FACTS BEFORE YOU READ INTO BULLSHIT.SEPERATE THE MUSIC FROM HIS CHARACTER FROM HIS MUSIC

      2. Shut up before you get rammed with my 3 inch dick. I’ll shove it down your throat and up your ass in a heartbeat.

        Dont fuck with me.

        FUCK ME.

    263. the best part. the end. you know what i’m going to hit again? the mute button. thank you for garbage, because then it makes me appreciate when something good comes out.

      1. Yeah… I just checked out your uh..’boy’. He looks real hard with those rosey-red cheeks. Real killa right there…. Damn… all he needs is a plate of chitlins and the conversion to brotha hood will be complete. Real typical right there.. white boy wants to be a rapper.. so he magically starts shooting dice, drinking and smoking. Kinda like when faggots come out of the closet..they magically start talking with a lisp and get super dramatic.. I see you guys playing xbox.. Add me to your friends list.. My SN is IWILLSMACKACRACKA

    264. yea, jay hot that flow and delivery, and i like that hard ass a motherfucka shit, I can fuck with this, it was lightweight gangsta!

      1. I just talk to the nigga threw text message.I tryna team up with him and make beats.I make them hot shits!!!

      2. Man I swear Lex is gonna let me taste his extremely fat dick. I haven’t tried one in a long time!!

    266. Not trash on it’s own but when compared to their previous shit, hell yeah! They both dumbed themselves down way too much. Kanye was way doper when he 1st came out. Jay flow was cool but nothing that made me wanna rewind it.

    267. H.A.M. ???! thought this was HIP HOP DX what is this doing on here? Guess they bought a spot here like they do everywhere We really need to do something about buying spots because the dummies that don’t really know hip hop think these people the play on the radio are a part of hip hop when in reality they are not. IF YOU GOT YOUR RHYME PATTERN FROM SOMEONE ELSE (FAST AND SLOW)JAY-Z GOT HIS FROM JAZ-O THAT MAKES HIM A CARBON COPY OF JAZ-O A FAKE NOT REAL CAN I SAY IT ANY OTHER THAT SO THAT EVERYONE CAN GET IT DO BUY IT DON’T LISTEN TO IT IT’S FAKE WOULD YOU GO OUT TO BUY A LEATHER COAT AND BUY A PLASTIC COAT (PLEATHER) SO WHY DO WE DO IT WITH MUSIC

    268. Waaaaaackkkkk!!! Kangay sucks and jay-z need to stop..he did his work and left his mark..let the new generation come up..no one wants to hear a 40+ year old talk about the same old bullshit..jays last good album was american gangster..give it up gay-z your finished..nothing left to prove

      1. I’m sorry, but your way the fuck off. Millions are waiting on Jay and considering Hip Hop is a relatively young genre of music most likely 30 to 40 old rappers will be more of the norm instead of the exception. I agree that Kanye’s verse is kinda wack but Ye has made many classics and he too has made his mark in industry. On top of that he is a phenominal producer. Think about this, if the rap game is stuck with only teenagers and early 20 year olds, who else is going to school your young ass?

    269. So and album from my two favorite artist and the lead single is really lacking to me….but these guys are smart so im sure the next one will be…..H.A.M. haha…..J.e.T.

    270. kanye and jay got casual styles on a trACK they dont come hard as a motherfucker or monster… they’re dope but at this stage in they’re careers dudes got nothing to prove… middle age crisis has getting beasted by girls on tracks they dont need to fuck with.

    271. Kanye sounds like he’s been “DUMBED DOWN” 2 sound STUPID. & why is that ever sinse his mama died all he seems 2 talk about is “white or light-skinned Asian or Spanish girls”?? He seems to be forgetting he was popped out of a “BLACK WOMAN’S” pussy.

    272. Kanye’s verse wasn’t what I expected but they are having fun with this track and HAM is trendy as fuck. The beat is Nasty especially at the break where the operah vocals come in to play and Jay’s verse is on point. Talib Kweli said he herd much of the album and it’s “Fucking Dope.” Considering Talib’s perspective and rap content I’m sure there will be more substance to the album. This is just the tip of the iceberg people. http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/blogs/rolling-stone-video-blog/talib-kweli-hypes-up-kanye-west-and-jay-zs-watch-the-throne-20110202

    273. Thank G.O.O.D.N.E.S.S. HOV came in 4 the save…(whew) cuz them Kanye verses are str8t up WAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!! At least the track is HOT..& Jay Z’s part of course.

    274. na mad cuz they make money, who cares if they worship the devil thats there bizness its about money and lyrics and most likely you aint got both, so stop hatin and just respect what these men do… H.A.M

      1. if they worship the devil that is there bizness but why should i respect that? if anything i should respect the devil for giving them strong lyrics to get youth on there side and money so everyone will look up to them i dont think they sold there soul im just sayin.. poor people make videos to make it look that why because they broke and want people to think there bad for hustling to the top but however kanye did say he sold is soul on stage with kid cudi

    275. u know what I hate, I hate a bunch of legend haters who go on every song and try to nic pick when they didnt get super ultra mega lyrical…this track was good, especially how jay-z came in, and the point he was proving with his words….yall niggaz some haters, but wiz khalifa can say some simple shit and yall nuttin in ya pants like no 2moro…not sayin wiz aint good, but wiz is simple, and on some songs simple is better

      1. ^^ Finally sumbody iz saying some TRUE Shit!! Personally i feel da chorus is da most epic shit ive heard in a long time…Hov and West did this beat right fuck yall hating for??

    276. Is it me or does Jay always tend to do some of his best work on his songs with Yay? hmmm…food for thought. Both of these emcees put this beat on a stretcher.

    277. i dont give fuck if u was jayz puff daddy birdman 50 cent get down are get fuck out way or lay the fuck down respect ever body the same am in charge i ate begging no nigga for shit i get my shit of the muscle this ate no dream i kill dreams like i see it we all bosses so please dont get out have line why all just need work together if u dont like it lay down or get the fuck out the way

    278. Well I think s.carter sounds like he’s whining bout beyonce…thats why jay went ham{pig)lol this track is so insanely masterful as usual by air yeezy!

    279. “By the way nigga you should fuckin quit nigga”

    281. Decent. It’ll grow on me probably but Ye just didn’t impress me at all on this song. I was cool with Hov’s verse. I like the vocals on the chorus but besides that the beat is trash IMO

    282. Doesn’t Kanye make beats? Haven’t Jay-Z and Kanye both made some of their best songs on a Kanye beat. This is a dope song, especially Hov’s verse, but it’s awkward seeing two of my favorite rappers, who pride themselves on being trendsetters, following trends.
