Jay-Z (feat. Kanye West & Rihanna)
Pitchfork didn't think much of this song but I like it. For one, Jay-Z actually sounds like he means it on this one, ditching that less-than-gruff, breathy style of rapping he tends to lean on too much. Rihanna doesn't do much here but once again she proves that she can serve a hook well. Kanye did the beat, which is more solid than stellar, but he makes up for it with a great guest verse. I keep saying this, but damn if Kanye isn't the best "featuring..." rapper over the past year or so. Anyway, this song has me looking forward to The Blueprint 3, even after finding out that the album won't include "Jockin' Jay-Z" and "Brooklyn (Go Hard)".
