THIS CAT KANYE WEST IS MURDERING THE RAP GAME RIGHT NOW!!!!
I was on the phone with my mans and them, JP, a big time litigator in Manhattan. The cat has roughly the same ear for music I do, save for his Harvard learned classic rock credentials (but I’ll let that slide for now). Anyway, I just remarked to JPeso how Kanye really is the current king of rap and how crazy that is. He was like, “yeah, you know the joint I really love now? That ‘I’m kinda a big deal’ with the Clipse… I mean, I like the Clipse and they have crazy flow, but Kanye dominates them on that track”…. I was like, “Word?” Just then realizing that while I probably already had the track in my library (I did) I didn’t know what flow he was talking about. Well, here it is and it’s fucking FIRE!!!! Jesus. This cat just needs to make another rap album ASAP. He’s just on top of the world right now. It’s pretty crazy. Peep the lyrics and then listen to that crazy delivery….. (0:58 mark if you’re as impatient as I am)
Ay yo I’m sittin on top of the-
It’s more than a feeling ain’t it?
I be killin dame it, I’m illin and I’m illin’ -
Eh eh eh (AAA) meet Mr. Popular
Go get your binoculars
And see Penthouse 3 where a nigga be
Spittin fire on the PJ in my PJ’s
Fire Marshall said I took it to the Max like TJ
Yea people I said Marshalls we play
I guess I’m like the Black Marshall meets Jay
Meet Ye’ alligator souffle, had it made
Special Ed got head from a girl in special ed
Ya know the pretty ones in that dumb class–
But she got that dumb ass
Hit high school and got pregnant dumb fast
What happen Tisha, your boyfriend come fast?
Turn around gimme pound like we folks
Hell no I went Raw dog three strokes
Haaaaaaaaaaa Jeez. I crown this cat King.
I mean, there are other cats who are better, but nobody brings it better. That’s just a fact.

Dope verse, OK song. His much shorter drop on ‘Swagger Like Us’ was faaaarrr more serious. We’ve watched Ye completely mature into a serious threat to shit all over people on their own songs.
Ya need to check this new joint with Jay Rihanna and Kanye, he kills it on this. Its called Run This town.
