New single from "Watch the Throne." Samples "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding.
This is good. I don't see it being a big Urban hit, but I don't think they care. It looks like they're going the unconventional route with this release.

I won't call this a flop because clearly they aren't trying to get "a smash" with this but.... it sounds like a mess and I don't like it.

This dosen't even sound like an album track. I do like the verses though.

This song sound purposely intended to make a "we don't care about airplay" statement but it's proving to be a bit ironic. This is ALWAYS on Power 105.

All hail king “Otis.” Jay-Z and Kanye West get the adrenaline pumping in the video for the Otis Redding-sampled single from their hot-selling album Watch the Throne, which is expected to move over 500,000 copies in its first week.
Directed by Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are), the feel-good visuals show a lesser-seen side of the hip-hop heavyweights, laughing and having a blast as they chop up a Maybach (don’t worry, they’re donating proceeds to charity), set off fireworks, and go for a joy ride with some fine females. Comedian Aziz Ansari even joins the fun. We want in.

I really like the video for this. It's cool to see them having fun and not going over the top with their imagery art sh*t. I'm also surprised at how well this is doing in today's radio climate.

The song doesn't have a hook but Urban is gonna play anything by Jay-Z, regardless...especially if it's joint with Kanye.
It's the first sort of "single offering" from the album which is hugely hyped, so....
