Complex releases Never Before Seen "never let me down" session

[up in here]

damn yall just gotta find something wrong with everything. nothing wrong with that track. the spoken word and jay's part was both ill.

called opinion

i skip that song sometimes based off jay actually

 

[Easy-E]

Jay: This was the Jay that was my favorite rapper. As self centered and obnoxious that verse was (compared to 'Ye), that was great technical, fluid rap verse.

Kanye: Dude is still talented and has always been arrogant, but; never was his sincerity questioned. Dude came out as the dude that rapped with a wired jaw--so Hip-Hop.

 

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

you really gonna act like that verse wasnt good

I love that song and the album but it's pretty obvious that it was a forced reaction

The final Jay verse was just tacked on at the end. It feels completely out of place to me (the verse itself is good but I don't see why it was included when the original version worked better).

 

[CashmereThoughts]

I wonder how consequence feels sitting in the backseat watching Kanye freestyle his lyrics like they are his own

Shouldn't feel no type way, he cashed the check

 

[the cac mamba]

yo this song is fukkin crazy. just listened again and

the mix between kanyes conscious shyt and jay givin it that triumphant roc type feel is actually ill as fukk

 

[mortuus est]

Self-centered and obnoxious? They are talking about Never letting something down, Jay-z is rapping about not letting hiphop down and Kanye about not letting certain people. Idk what J. Ivy is talking about.. I think Jays last verse might be a freestyle that was too nice to remove from the album though, the flexin and rhyme skills on that

 

[wire28]

a peek inside the mind of a genius

seeing masterpieces being made

pharrell during cameLs verse is like

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Yo, first I snatched the streets then I snatched the charts
First I had they ear, now I have their heart
Rappers came and went, I've been here from the start
I seen them put it together, watched them take it apart
Seen the rovers roll up with ribbons
I seen them re-po'd, re-sold, then re-driven
So when I reload, he holds #1 position
When you hot I'm hot
And when your feet cold, mines is sizzling

I remember first time I heard that verse like it was yesterday. I just got onto Kanye from the Through the Wire video on BET, so I hopped on Limewire and downloaded every Kanye track I could find. I remember the computer being at the dining room table, and listening to to that verse with my headphones on like

 

[TheDarceKnight]

He re-flipped The Truth for that freestyle beat

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

I know it's cliche at this point but THAT kanye ain't never comin back.

why SHOULD he?

I never get that.

Ya'll the same ones mad that artists don't evolve or anything.

 

[VanVanCity]

we need that kanye back



but when i first heard jay's second verse

Yeah that second verse gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it

 

[the artist known az]

I just watched the through the wire video & they showed that same session & the caption said his mouth was wired shut
