Props Onsmash
[Jay-Z]
Sounds so soulful don’t you agree
I invented swag
Poppin bottles putting supermodels in the cab
Proof
I guess I got my swagger back
Truth: new watch alert, Hublot’s
Or the big face Rollie I got two of those
Arm out the window through the city I’m a
Cock back, snap back
See my gut through the holes[Kanye West]
Damn Weezy and Hov,
Where ya been?
Talkin real reckless stuntman
I adopted these bitches
Now I’m bout to make them tuck they whole summer in
They say I’m crazy but I’m bout to go dumb again
They aint see me cause I pulled up in my other Benz
Last week I was in my other other Benz
Throw your diamonds up cause we in this bitch and up again[Jay-Z]
Photo shoot fresh
Looking like wealth
I’m about to call the paparazzi on myself
Uh, live form the Mercer, run up on Yeezy the wrong way
I might murk ya
Flee in the G450 I might surface
Politically refugee asylum can be purchased
Uh, everythings for sale, I got 5 passports
I’m never going to jail[Kanye West]
I made Jesus walks so never going to hell
Couture level flow is never going on sale
Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
Sophisticated ignorance
Write my curses in cursive
I get it custom
You a customer
You aint accustomed to going through customs
You aint been nowhere huh?
And all the ladies in the house got them showing off
I’m done I hit ya up, manana![Jay-Z]
Welcome to Havanna
Smoking Cubana’s with Castro and Cabanna’s
Viva Mexico, Cubana, Dominicano
All the lcubs that I know
Driving Benz’s, With no benefits
Not bad huh, for some immigrants?
Build your fences, we diggin’ tunnels
Can’t you see we gettin money up under you[Kanye]
Can’t you see the private jets flying over you
Maybach bumping ?
What would Hova do?
Jay is chillin, Ye is chillin
What more can I say
We killin’ ‘em
Hold up before we in this campaign
As you can see we bodied the damn lames
Lord please let them accept the things they cant change
And pray that all of their pain be champagne

Rap Genius is explaining the lyrics! [rapgenius.com]
MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Is all I can say!!!!!!!!! Tight shit!!!!
Im a big wayne fan and dont like jay or ye much but damn….this is tough!
bout to make em tuck their summer in … [goo.gl]
BOMB! [goo.gl]
lyrically this is weak
alright not for a 1st single
Great Sample! The verses is fire! Looking forward to the album.
This shit is Hip-Hop. I can feel the bounce soon as the beat drop. They way they flow on this shit is crazy. Hip-hop Real Talk….
FIRE FIRE FIRE
Nigel what the fuck you wanna us to quote this wack ass song for u dumb sac of shit. get jay-z
s dick out ur mouth u imbesile. There’s been morethan 20 hot tracks out in the past 2 months and not once did u post the lyrics and ask us to quote lines. Jay-z comes out with a stupid song and u turn into a cheer leading dick head. ur fuckin wack and so is ur stupid site. MAN FUCK RAP..if yall seriously goin crazy over this song than FUCK RAP this shits fuckin wack
see u can have all the gimmicks and fake beef (gunit) or just hot beats and whip music (ross) or be outrageuous care free voice of the youth (young money)
but at the end of the day if u dont got the lyrical u aint gettin my money sorry
ye, jay, cole, electronica, mosdef, pusha t, common, fab.
niggas need to step they rap game up, cuz this click gonna take over if they havent already
this shid is nice,got me wantin to hear what else they got on the album now lol.
“Maybach bumper-sticker reads “What would Hova do” OW!!
Im numb…Watch The Throne is gonna be monumental…
WOW please tell me what rapper that yall claim is on jay or even ye level song is tuffffffffffff nd disrespectful all these talk about the samething rappers need to step it up NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nd thank you NICK Flow cuz thats the truth
this album is a definite cop for me
I tried not to listen to anything from Watch da Throne until it dropped but i couldn’t wait the song is fire and since its a single and singles r usually not the best song on the album wth is n store for us real rap fans
absolutely glorious
in my Bart Scott voice “CAN’T WAIT”
jay’s flow sounded lazy on this song. kanye’s lyrics were decent but hov sound like he jus threw some ol bullshit together. he is the goat in my book but he coulda came harder than that.
this album gonna be well worth the wait…..
THIS SONG IS FIRE. i hope the rest of the album is tooo….
Not bad, but to be honest this ain’t
nothing special.
WOOOOOOOOOW hop of the two dicks fellows have some self respect for your self you fools sound like groupies not fans ,just saying. Come on SOn its aight.
It is not as hot as niggaz are making it, and to be for real, Jay lost swag when dame left. The track is okay, but not lyrical…For real!
^^^^^^^^^^ Haters beware album of the year is coming… Most of you bloggers that don’t understand the lyrics, reading is fundamental…
TAB GET HOKED ON PHONICS
Nice tandem rap. Yeezy outta control. When jay say he never going to jail yeezy get hella bold and say he ain’t ever going to hell. That got the most reaction outta me. That should be on Timbo album with that rhymes Shock Value.
“I made jesus walk so im never going to hell”, meaaaaann
like the feel!!!
why do I always bring up g-unit on a non g-unit post?
I’m obsessed wit 50 I need him in my life
G-A-R-B-A-G-E…., 2 rich rappers talking about money–how original
Watch the throne ya young money bastards…

THEY R NOT TALKING TO OR BRAGGING TO US. THEY R ENTERTAINING US. INSTEAD OF LYING IN THEIR RAPS LIKE ROSS(GOOD RAPPER) AND WAYNE BY SAYING SHIT BOUT CHOPPERS IN THEIR CARS, THEY TELL US THE TRUTH. EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE BRAGGING, ITS TRUTHFUL AND A TAP ON THE SHOULDERS OF OTHER RAPPERS SAYING WAYNE GOT MORE MONEY N DRAKE SAYING HE MITE TAKE THE THRONE. IF U R SMART ENOUGH TO GET SUBTLE JABS, YOU’LL HEAR THE ENTERTAINMENT AND LYRICISM.
Hard body … def coppin WTT aug 1st. V-Nasty what’s poppin nigga, holla atcha boy.
Song is tough… nab down… Drake took a mean jab…
Talkin real reckless stuntman
I adopted these bitches
Now I’m bout to make them tuck they whole summer in…
lets see how he responds…
HOT!!!!

Hi Nigel. Many thanks for the link. Appreciate your support. I have actually updated the lyrics since then. Here is a more fuller version: [www.killerhiphop.com]
Thanks again.
Drake and Kanye squashed that beef back in March when the ‘Lights’ remix was made. Ya’ll are crazy.
Good song right here tho.
50 was already tlkn bout hublots hov he gonna take credit for that watch the song hard but that stupid sample louder then them is annoying
This is clearly gonna be an album to send a message to YMCMB. I guess get money niggas don’t have a whole lot else to talk about besides the bread.
I know DJSTIZZY is not a hip-hop fan if he calls that lyricism! Line for line Jay or Kanye could not touch fab. And that is real. If both them niggaz stop recycling other peoples lines to make there own, we woukd really see how nice they are. And kanye ain’t nowhere near a throne, I can respect Jay saying that because he been in the game since like 1988, Kanye is letting his fame go to his head!
This is not that hot 3/5 I expect more. The sample drowns out their lyrics which are good to read but while listening to the song they not there jay has to compete with kanye and kanyes production on watch the throne
dissapointed to say the least! Jay just proved once and for all he aint on NaS’s level and nowhere near it. realtalk
@TAB U R AN IDIOT BECAUSE WE R NOT TALKING ABOUT FAB. N FAB RECYCLES HOV LINES TOO. KANYE IS CLOSER TO THE THROWN THAN FAB. KANYE CARVED HIS WAY IN THE GAME AND MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF. 1 OF KANYE;S ALBUMS OUTSOLD FAB’S ENTIRE CATALOGUE, IF U WANNA TALK NUMBERS. MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE, NUMBERS DON’T. HE ALSO SHOWED THAT HE IS AN INDIVIDUAL AND THAT HE DOES NOT FOLLOW TRENDS, HE SETS THEM WITH ALBUMS LIKE 808. N PLEASE DONT SAY THAT’S NOT HIP HOP. WALK THIS WAY BY RUN DMC IS ROCK N ROLL ISH. N I CAN NAME MANY MORE. JAY N YE TALK MORE REALISTIC SHIT THAN FAB. FAB IS GREAT BUT HE TALKS ALOTTA FICTION IN HIS LYRICS JUST AS STYLES P N JADA. WE DON BELIEVE YOU, U NEED MORE PEOPLE, FAB, STYLES, WAYNE, ROSS, N OTHERS…
@KING GAY
“TRUTHFULLY I WANNA RHYME LIKE COMMON SENSE BUT I DID 5 MILL AND I AINT BEEN RHYMING LIKE COMMON SINCE.” DID U BUY DAMIAN N NAS’ CURRENT ALBUM OR DID U ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD IT? U PROBABLY DID THE LATER. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THAT STUFF THAT SWAGLESS NAS TALKS ABOUT ALL THE TIME N THIS OIS OBVIOUS BY HIS RECORD SALES. NAS’ BEST SELLING ALBUM IS THE LAST 8 YRS WAS EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY HOV. I THOUGHT NIGGAS WERE IN THE BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY.. IF NIGGAS AINT BUYING SHIT U BEEN PUSHING FOR 18 YRS THEN ITS TIME TO STEP UR GAME UP. KANYE OUTSOLD NAS..

@ DJ DIZZY
quoting a jay line doesn’t do anything to prove your point. is jay paying your your bills or suttin??? for your information yes i did buy nas’s latest album LEGALLY and have bought every one he’s ever came out with. Jay’s a sellout and now ONLY raps for the money, and hell no it aint just about making money, how about GOOD MUSIC? Lyrically jay dont hold a candle to Nas, nor when it comes to flow, delivery, content and depth. FUCK NUMBERS. Nas is a real rap legend, jay a ‘pop rap’ icon. Go figure
this shit is dope!!!
@king K ..he’s already rich through, so why would he be rapping for the money? if anything he’s rapping for the love of it,and maybe you don’t know this but jay-z but he’s been rapping about money,cars,girls ,since he came in the game..he’s a flashy type of rapper..that’s how he been his whole career so what’s the difference from than till now?
Agree with DJ STIZZY
Tha Carter 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it… Follow me on Twitter @iCry5tal & I’ll follow u back…
Lyrically, its not special at all, couple of cold lines here and there, flow is good, better than most the sample is great, and there lies the point– it is SO hip-hop.
It has a feel good vibe that most records from your favorite Mc’s lack. the lyrics are not suppose to be amaze you every time, the song its suppose to entertain you, make you feel good, bop ya head– if this does not do that, then you’re trying NOT to enjoy it and that’s wack.

a descent mix of rap with very old school dance music…at least the whites got something to dance too LOL
NO!,NO!, NO, NO, stoppp it. Stop with the Vanity.I wish they would talk about something else other then their bank account.I can’t even feel their music anymore. I want something like “Through the wire and Jesus walk” “Meet the parents”.
I want a “Dear momma” or “keep your head up”, “Till the End of time” from artists like Jay and Kanye not stuff that Drake is putting out(disposable music).
I can’t sit there and listen to an entire album where a person just talks about their achievements. I hope this is not the entire album. I love the one Pete Rock produced.
@!king gay
R u chewing NAS OR SUMTHIN CUZ U RIDING HARD FOR HIM IN A POST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM. IF U DON’T LIKE HOV, WHY R U ON THIS BLOG N WHY DID U LISTEN TO THE SONG? OH, I GET IT, UR A HATER!!!!!!! AT THE END OF THE DAY, MONEY PAYS THE BILLS. UR OPINION BOUT WHO’S MORE OF AN ICON IS URS N NOT FACTS. NUMBERS SAY MORE PEOPLE KNOW AND LIKE JAY Z N THAT HE IS MORE OF AN ICON. U R PART OF THE MINORITY WHO FEELS NAS IS MORE THAN JAY. NAS COULD NOT DO GLASTONBURY. UR FLOW N DELIVERY = UR GIFT OF GAB. IN BUSINESS BEING A SLICK TONGUE WILL BRING U FORTUNE. THE BETTER UR WORLDPLAY, THE MORE CONVINCING U R, THE MORE PEOPLE U GET TO BUY INTO UR BRAND. SO WHAT U SAY N HOW U SAY IT IS IMPORTANT.AND HE FOUND A WAY TO DUMB IT DOWN N MAKE MILLIONS. HE’S A BUSINESS MAN THAT TELLS US ABOUT HIS LIFE. N A PART OF THAT LIFE IS RAPPERS THROWING JABS, HATERS, BUSINESS MOVES, A LOVELY WIFE, FLAW-SING N SO ON N HE TELLS US THE TRUTH. FROM THE BEGINNING OF HIS STRUGGLE TO HIS NOW SUCCESS IS A BLUEPRINT OF HIS LIFE. U HATE IT BUT IT MOTIVATES ME.
@ezy, sweetie stop, rap is not your calling, maybe someone else’s but not yours
DO U JUST SKIM THRU MUSIC? U GOTTA LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM. HE MAKES SONGS TO MAKE CASH REGISTERS RING. AFTER ALL HE DOESNT WANT TO DO NUMBERS LIKE THE ROOTS. U KNOW THE MAN IS PFOLIFIC WITH PROSE. LISTEN TO MOST KINGS GET THEIR HEAD CHOPPED OFF
jay-z murdered kanye on H.A.M and That’s my bitch but yeezy got jay on this one….
to those who say jay only rap bout his success it is true but it’s mostly on his singles if u really been listening to his albums over the last 15 years u would know dat his albums have shit u can relate to along with a ridiculous flow dat can’t really b matched and as far as kanye goes maybe 10 years ago u could say dat he was far from the throne because dats wen rap was at its best too many beast was out back then but now who’s gonna stop kanye from dominating like he has for da las 5 years? ok i know who sum of u guys like waka flaka flame rite yea he’s da shit oh yea and ur boy rick ross only rap bout being a boss yea dats da man rite there huh smh
i tell u this rap needs watch da throne rite now
Ppl expect too much…its just a single…get a grip…its cool to hear some music sampled from
Real music again as it was back in the day…..all these comparisons..knock it off, you like what you like and that is it….its not gonna return to how it was but I’ll take this over any of the newer “wrappers” any day….everybody always got something negative to say…I’m waiting on any of you naysayers album….since you all seem to know what is really hot….smh!!!
Jay z and kanye are making this album like they are the best and they arnt neither of them really go hard or have any clever lines that stick out, if you wanna hear some real collaborative rap that actually goes hard listen to bad meets evil, when watch the throne comes out compare the two albums song for song, em and royce are both better than jay z and kanye no denying it
Hell Yee Niccas!!! I just got a brand New CA MA RO. I was in da GUTTER FOR 5YRS+. I WAS DAT NICCA THAT COUDN’T GET APPROVED FOR SHYT. NO MORE.

DAMN…That Throne Is High Suckas!
Watch the Throne leak
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3JDGuvfvtA
Ima give yall corny young boys the game cus its evident u niggas need
guidance, fact1: jay z shudda retired when he said by coming back out
He lost that best rapper alive title, a nigga ain’t gon give it up to when u
Still in the race cus u still competition, fact2: “what more can I say” the
Nigga done said it all anything at this point is just bragging, flow is weak and
Lackluster I don’t the hear the Passion…note to jigga man Stop! You are killing
Ur legacy…and this is coming from a fan. Lil ass niggas
this is nice but i hope the rest of the album is has more meaningful subject matter
American Wasteland

You know what, all this talk about how Jay Z is to old and his time is done, man shut the hell up with all of that. The problem aint Hov, it’s those wach ass rappers who Yah claim is real and dropping heat but really is garbage. This that real rap, I like this song it’s dope.
Kanye going crazy on it, Jigga doing his thing, beat is ill what more can you want? I’m tired of radio playing Ross and drake and Minaj, that shit is garbage to me.
To that dude, “Real Rap”, he aint tarnishing his legacy, he keeping hip hop alive. It’s what he feels, as you hear he can still kill it so what are you hating on? Nothing that he says in his raps be fake that’s number 1. Now, can you honestly say that for most of these rappers nowadays?
Its “I adopted these NIGGAS” no bitches
Hasnt been a iller collab like this since Brooklyns Finest. The incredible & beautiful flows, lyrics over a Otis Redding sample couldnt be more well put together. Jay-Z & Kanye together proves making music together without the thought of trying to out do one another but just the thought of timeless music.
this wack. ‘I got my swagger back’? Fuck outta here
Not Bad for some immigrants! that was a hotline
