I forgot all about this remix.

[Jay-Z – Intro]
Is this thing on?
Oh, I thought they silenced us, ‘Ye
Power to the people

We’re living in that 31st century, futuristic fly s–t
The penthouse is the projects and everybody flies private
New watches (you know what time it is)
Watch us (you see us)
They can’t stop us
The prophets
Be-otches!

[Chorus: Kanye West]
No one man should have all that power (Yea!)
The clock’s tickin, I just count the hours (Yea!)
Stop trippin, I’m trippin off the power
(“No one man should have all that power!” – [King Crimson])

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you’re far too kind

[Chorus]
Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y’all to roar

Now what the hell are you waitin for
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, n—a make some noise

[Verse One]
Who you know fresher than Hov’? Riddle me that
The rest of y’all know where I’m lyrically at
Can’t none of y’all mirror me back
Yeah hearin me rap is like hearin G. Rap in his prime
I’m, young H.O., rap’s Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe, now break bread
I’m in, Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect

[Chorus: John Legend]
They say “What’s happenin’?”
We say the facts and if, they lie…
We comin’ back for them
They might say… but they don’t know!
(They say, They say…)
They don’t knowwwww

[Verse 1: Common]
They say a n—a lost his mind
But in the scheme of things I never lost a rhyme
The thin line between love and hatred
I’m the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life
They say life is what you make it
So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it
As high as the stakes get when paper get low
I be tellin Derick, “Tell Kara get us a show”
Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low

As I sat with my iPod, I was sick of the normal fare. I’m sick of drugged up rappers, so bored by whining rockers. How many ways can you beg a woman to have sex with you, with the newest rapper riding shotgun to help you efforts along. My music collection has reached out toward adding artists and albums that you should choose to take a chance on. With that said…
Enter next week’s Kanye West returns with he much anticipated full length release My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The product of a strategically orchestrated campaign of releases of album singles, videos, and “GOOD Friday” movement to provide for a focus and comprehensive movement in support of project, previously promoted in 2005 after Graduation was released and earlier this year as the self aggrandizing Good Ass Job.
