Oh boy! I knew when dude started quoting notorious 70’s, UK race monger, Enoch Powell, we were in for a doozy. Just watch.

[MP3] Jay-Z & Kanye West – New Day (prod. RZA)

Aka my favorite cut from the Jay-Z and Kanye West much-anticipated, recently-released Watch The Throne album. Produced by Wu-Tang’s RZA but almost sounds like something Dr. Dre would have produced in his prime when he was still hot and not best known as a headphone and laptop brand ambassador (zing!). Maybe I’m just a sap but listening to Ye’s verse breaks my heart.
