Friday, Saturday, who cares? The beauty of G.O.O.D. Fridays lies in the fact they’re works cultivated in short time spans. This morning, Kanye shared a message saying there was one last verse to be laid for “Looking For Trouble.” Read the rest of this entry »

The weekly edition of G.O.O.D. Friday music delivered fresh on a Saturday morning. Although the title says differently, “The Joy” is more ‘Ye & Jay instead of all the names listed.

More than anything, these G.O.O.D. Music Friday releases have become showcases for Kanye’s small band of merry music-men and friends, quietly fueled by the competitive spirit of one-upping each other that has always been a key part of posse cuts. “Take One For The Team” stinks from the distorted funk emitted from the bassline and in the lyrical rundown of the atypical lifestyle of rap stars, watch for Kanye’s second verse and CyHi’s appearance.

If I could will this track to release sooner, I would. But I’m not going to be here to provide an assessment since Kanye seems to release these G.O.O.D. Music Friday joints right before Cinderella’s carriage turns back into a pumpkin. Sorry but it’s good Friday for us as well and that doesn’t include occupying the computer chair all night.

Still, Kanye has a commitment to live up to with G.O.O.D. Music Fridays and dropped “Lord, Lord, Lord” in the night’s waning hours. Read the rest of this entry »

Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music Fridays have been nothing short of entertaining and Week 4′s entry, “Good Friday,” keeps the momentum. Over a riveting drumline and piano, a resurrected Lonnie Lynn delivers a quick appearance followed by Kanye’s verse, which seems to announce his arrival for NY’s Fashion Week complete with brand mentions and enthusiasm we’ve come to expect from ‘Ye right now.

I’m pretty sure that Justin Bieber’s mom checked out Raekwon’s Wikipedia page prior to the creation of this song and instinctively grounded him to prevent little Justin from playing in the studio with Rae and Kanye.
