It's never a good sign when you can't even name all the artists on your own track. During the premiere of Kanye's "Runaway" film when he started talking about "All of the Lights" boundary breaking roster, started to list everyone set to appear on the record, and then got lost after four or five folks.

This new "Good Friday" joint is so dope it's giving me Tourettes: Holy sh*t balls f**k godd*mn "The Joy" is incredible. So incredible in fact, that I'm not even going to bring up Kid Cudi's non-performance. Instead, let's recognize that 99% of the rappers in the game would kill their grandmothers to put out a record like this, and Kanye did it for free in his spare time. The man's just on a different level. Listen and download...
This week's offering from Kanye West, the slowly soulful "Lord, Lord, Lord", finds a subdued Mos Def actually rapping (thank sweet baby jesus), Kanye on his punchline heavy flow (that d-bag line had me laughing out loud), the broke as hell Swizz Beatz embarrassing himself with a verse, Raekwon doing what he does best and Charlie Wilson providing some smooth vocals.

After weeks of some serious ("Monster"), and seriously dope ("Devil in a New Dress") new records, Kanye's decided to lighten up and just have a good time on his latest offering, the enjoyable but unimaginatively titled "Good Friday". Essentially a posse cut featuring the entire "G.O.O.D. Music" crew, "Good Friday" is built around a head-nodding beat by Ye (is that a Biz Markie sample I hear?). Listen and download...
