2682370, Kanye West ft. Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz – Mercy (First single)
Posted by agentB, Thu Apr-05-12 07:24 PM
Off the G.O.O.D. music compilation. DJ Clue all over it.

2682374, I can seeing this being big
Posted by zuma1986, Thu Apr-05-12 07:31 PM
sounds like every other song with 4 big rappers on it. But the ending is alright, Kanye is still trying for that EDM
2682375, Not the vibe I was expecting, but I can dig it

This is for radio? Hmmmmm.

First, what's the vocal sample? I feel like its wrong something I should know?

Sean's verse is kinda gimmicky.

Pusha is flexin somethin serious and kilt it pretty dead - what a flow.

Kanye's flow... what is goin on here exactly?

2 Chainz had exactly the verse I expected. I don't know if thats a diss or props. He's predicatable, but thats not to say he's wack. I know to expect a pretty cool verse but very basic.

Thumbs slightly up. I fucks with the Kanye solo song from last night MUCH harder.

(interesting non-G.O.O.D. signee is on it instead of Cyhi)

Also, did Clue break this? Flex is gonna be salty as fuck lol... (those "yeeeaaahhhh" and "Clueminattttttiiiii" drops made me nostalgic as fuck hahaha, felt like '00)
2682379, I was thinking the same thing. Flex is usually his dude

Charlamagne was dissing flex for playing a version with dj Kev drops on twitter.

Posted by tandmfam, Thu Apr-05-12 08:13 PM
But Game new mixtape is fire!
2682386, are styles within rap music really that ephemeral?
Posted by Ghetto Black, Thu Apr-05-12 08:29 PM
or were you being sarcastic?
2682390, IMO the sound is dated
Posted by tandmfam, Thu Apr-05-12 08:37 PM
like Ross over Luger
Niggas in Paris like BMF has had its day. JMO.
2682385, they trying to make something for the streets

2682388, Fuck radio djs and their excessive drops.
Posted by Ghetto Black, Thu Apr-05-12 08:35 PM
2682407, i like it.
Posted by im_freshhh, Thu Apr-05-12 10:00 PM
not a fan of the beat switch too much after first listen,
but the verses are pretty dope.
i fucks with it
2682427, damn i hate sean
Posted by xangeluvr, Thu Apr-05-12 11:53 PM
clue is STILL doing them drops like that? i hate radio djs so much. of course, that's probably why i don't listen to the radio. plus the fact that most stations play nothing but shit.

overall, the songs ok.
2682449, ehhh

2682488, song was hot until the beat change and kanye verse......
Posted by southphillyman, Fri Apr-06-12 08:31 AM
song overall would be better if that section was removed sad to say (since it's a kanye song)
2682497, I feel like madlib has been using this vocal sample since 2004

"Additional" instruments only, but it's still a good look.

2682642, Does Ye Have a problem twisting or something?
Posted by select_from_where, Fri Apr-06-12 01:23 PM
he did this same bs on Niggas in Paris,

Other than Workout Plan, I have yet to here Ye Twist more then 2 bars at a time. I think he has vowel issues.
2682647, LOL. Fuck rap music. I'm done n/m

2682732, It was cool
Posted by beatnik, Fri Apr-06-12 03:26 PM
until that beat switch, it went from almost street to straight up euro-world-haunted house club. WTF? lol
2682863, Did 2 Chainz have the best verse on this?
Posted by DaKidFromHaiti, Fri Apr-06-12 08:16 PM
2682936, First half of Pusha's verse is his best shit in a minute...
Posted by mrshow, Sat Apr-07-12 12:20 AM
he falls back into Rick Ross-mode after that so I guess you can say 2 Chainz maybe.
2682938, completely unnecessary change-up
Posted by DolphinTeef, Sat Apr-07-12 12:27 AM
2685929, i feel certain songs have to be listened to while under the influence
Posted by Hellyeah, Sat Apr-14-12 07:23 AM
