Jay-Z on Kanye's "Diamonds" remix

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Premiered this morning on Hot97, I think.

He comes in right after Kanye says "what's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all okay, man?"

He goes, "yep!" and launches!

"I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, maaaan!"

Nice to see you on here, Leon.

This is one of the best Kanye productions I've heard. Love the throbbing bass/drums, very tense.

Damn Leon, you don't know where to come for the freshness yet? ;)

so many 2005 guest spots and remixes to keep track of - am I missing any?

Beans - "It's On"
Slim Thug - "I Ain't Heard Of That" (remix)
Memphis Bleek (ha) - "Dear Summer"
Kanye - "Diamonds Are Forever" (remix)
Snoop/Pharell - "Drop It Like It's Hot" (remix)

Post-retirement Jay-Z may require a thread of its own.

T.I.'s "Bring 'em Out," Cassidy's "I'm a Hustla" and the remix of Amerie's "One Thing" all recycle old rhymes of his as well.

Bill, sampling for the hook =/ "recycling old rhymes"

― deej.., Thursday, 16 June 2005 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

"It's On" is from the State Property album from '03, they just recycled it as a bonus track for Beanie's album.

I haven't heard the Slim Thug myself

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 16 June 2005 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

actually, that's a lie, I just realized it's on the Slim Thug mixtape I've got in my truck. I'll find it and YSI the track

Chris - I can afford to host it cuz I have a fucking GREAT host.

Thanks deej! To think, I'd been listening to it that day. Sleep deprivation is nobody's friend.

― Will M. (Will M.), Friday, 17 June 2005 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i love how gaudy hov's verse seems after all the conflict diamonds stuff - so perfect. they should do a third version now where jacob appears when summoned and gives a detailed history of whatever they're wearing that day

― jones (actual), Friday, 17 June 2005 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

God, I hope this rumored "return" Jay-Z/S. Carter/whatever record comes out this fall. Ideally BEFORE November.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 17 June 2005 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

FWIW, there are remixes of "1 Thing" that feature what I assume are old Jay-Z verses.
