Jay-Z & Kanye West feat. Otis Redding – Otis [prod. by Kanye West]

Other than ‘H.A.M.’ which dropped a long time ago, ‘Otis’ is the next leak from Watch the Throne we peasants are so privilieged to be allowed to vibrate our eardrums.

To put this song into slight context from the Watch the Throne listening sessions in which select media heard 11 tracks in no particular order, Rolling Stone’s rep had this to say about ‘Otis.’

4. Probably the best song we heard last night, bearing the working title “Otis,” spins gold from a chopped-up sample of Otis Redding’s classic “Try a Little Tenderness.” It’s a nice callback to the soul-laced beats Kanye used to give Jay-Z back in 2000 and 2001. (“That’s our zone,” Jay said later. “That’s what we do better than anyone else.”) Their rhymes are tricky, showoffy stuff, with the two old friends trading lines like a 21st-century Run-DMC. Every head in the room was nodding by the end of this track.

While this song is OKAY, this buffoon suggests it is the best song on WTT. Hopefully this ass clown was sent out on the wrong beat for the night. Like he was supposed to cover the Sleigh Bells show and hopped on the wrong subway train. Fxck, let’s hope this isn’t the best song cause if so I’m going to need one of them blue pills to get back excited for this album! Although, I am sure my expectations are out of whack with all this. Now, there’s a good life lesson: Learn to manage your expecations and the expecations of others.

Again, propers to Nah on the link. Sorry I am being lazy at the moment.
