i thought he said none of the G.O.O.D. fridays songs will be on the album? hmmmm are you sure this is right? lol
nah he said there WERE gonna be good friday songs on there
@ Anonymous-take a number, Kanye said he was putting ‘So Appalled’ and ‘Monster’ on his album because of the feedback those two tracks got. Additionally, in a recent interview Ye jokingly said “Sorry Jay” in response to the two tracks appearing on his album. However, don’t fret, I’m sure they’re cooking up more quality music for ‘Watch the Throne’ which I’m hoping will feature a Weezy fresh home, J. Cole and maybe Eminem will get in on the action. With those two working together anybody should be inclined to collab with them!
Here is the official finished tracklist from kanye himself

Song is fresh. Love G.O.O.D. Fridays
Dope and oh so soulful…this track has that substance abuse American Gangster feel to it! Kanye could have bottled these G.O.O.D. Music tracks up as a compilation and easily went platinum!! Can’t wait for ‘Watch the Throne’ to drop!!!
This song makes me sad and I’l tell you why….
All these artists keep tellin us how they are workin with all these great producers, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, RZA and so on before every big album and everyone cant wait, then the album comes out and it’s just your usual ‘make a mainstream hit producer’s instead of the make a classic producers.
For example, firstly this is an amazing song, not many tru hip hoppers will deny that but will it make the album… no way, why not just get Rihanna on a track instead and make millions (i.e Eminem) not great music.
Also I hear the DJ Premier tracks for Kanye’s album will not be going on there now… why… everyone is hyped for it and would love his beats on there?
DJ premier kleeps submitting beats to Jay-Z too and Jay accepts none of them (premier said this in a video interview, search goggle you’ll find it). If Jay is so big no, why does he need to make commercial albums instead of genuine great music which we’d love to hear?
The same can also be said for teh Nas preemo collab… why is it never gong to happen.
Point is, do these artists know god muisc when they hear it these days or are the label heads tying thier hands behind thier back?
Kanye is one of teh few great producers gettin his beats out commercially at the moment aprt from that enjoy your “up in the club” style chart smashes for teh forseeable future.
I’m done.
One.
ok you need to stop being so emotional.
if this is your example of great hip hop – you have it. It’s a song – it’s out now. just for you. why do you care if it’s on the album or not? why does it matter if it makes the official album cut as long as the song is actually made and you hear it and can listen to it when you feel like it?
i’ll tell you why. you just need something to complain about.
“classic”???? that’s your code word for old. you mean old producers. premier doesn’t get beats on Jay-z records cuz his beats sound OLD. his sound hasn’t changed @ all. thats both good and bad. he keeps his loyal fanbase but is not relevant to modern radio and the modern consumer. that’s fact. his biggest hits happened before the average music consumer was BORN and his sound is exactly the same as then.
kanye is a great producer because his sound has evolved tons. all you old hiphop heads act like 808s and heartbreak didn’t happen. it did though.
i’ll give rza credit because he hasn’t found it yet – but he’s at least tried to evolve his sound and grow. and to be fair – rza’s sound was WAAAAY ahead of his time.
if you thought the same way you did in the 4th grade – you’d be a retard right now. why should producers be rewarded for remaining stagnant for a generation? they shouldn’t. then the next question to be asked is this – why do you want to listen to the same type of music for a generation. doesn’t that stagnate you?
I’ll leave that for you to mull over.
because the nature of music has changed so much in the last decade – the music put out “commercially” is even less relevant to the average music consumer than ever. jump on pandora and listen to what you want how you want whenever. there is tons of DOPE hip hop coming out right now. tons of dope producers. there is more music than you can realistically listen to.
the fact is you want to complain. give you your version of good music – and by your own words – you’re “sad”. LOL
btw this was kinda weak to me. but whatever.
2 things…
Good music is good music, period. Doesnt matter whether it was made in 1980 or 2010, it just so happens that Preemo, RZA, Pete rock etc make… good music.
My favorite producer in the whole game is 9th Wonder, he’s not exactly old skool and is slowly gettin his props but not enough even tho 90% of the music he produces is better than 70% of the music that makes album cuts these days.
One.
P.S: Please dont egt stuck on the whole argument of hip-hop needs to evolve/change to be better, it doesnt… see ‘Common – Electric Circus’, see ‘Lil Wayne – Rebirth’, see point 1 above.
no, good music is not good music. good music is YOUR OPINION. the shit I like isn’t the shit you like and vice versa.
and it does matter when the music was made for most people. i’ll hazard a guess but I doubt that there’s Dina Shore, The Kinks, or Paul Whiteman Orchestra in your ipod. all good music of a particular generation.
and all music needs to evolve to get better. the fact that you think it can stay the same for generations and be good is ridiculous. nothing in the universe works that way – so why should hip hop? the only constant in the universe is change. nothing stays the same but hip hop should??? LOL gtfoh.
my big problem with you dictator hip hop niggas is that you think you know what good music is when music is relative and different things are good to different people. then you spread your opinion everywhere – the loudest niggas talking about what hip hop niggas should and shouldn’t be doing. But then, ironically, you niggas don’t buy music – so your so-called legendary artists can never get hot again. then you niggas got hte nerve to be mad cuz another fan base puts their money on their words and you don’t.
no bueno.
everything needs to evolve to survive… and common and wayne was ailed attempts, but there is successful evolution… @TEAMYE
well blyx summed it up… coSIGN!
well actually good music is a fact.
LUPE! LASERS!
Does anyone else see the irony in a song being called; “The Joy”, yet it sounds so lifeless and depressing?
THIS IS SONG SUCKS.
You meant to say your moms suck dicks?
PETE ROCK WAS THE BEST THING ON THIS TRACK
This shit is smooth like butter and so far my favorite G.O.O.D Friday joint to date.
this shit is the best so far. a GREAT look for pete rock. not that he needs it since every hip hop head already know he’s one of the GOATS
Kid Cudi is the shit! new album is light years ahead.
Damn, Pam Grier… ok back to work.
song is classic.
