Here’s what Ricky and Yeezy have been brewing in the lab. Off Rozay’s Teflon Don. Be sure to leave a good lookin’ corpse.
Sidebar: Ross and West in the studio.
What we talkin bout?! Lol actually excited about these guys’ albums. Let’s go Hip-Hop
#No Hate , This Track Is Average, I Was Expecting Something Epic With Those 2 On The Same Track.
joints Hott Ye killed it..lol
inb4 Ross haters
Ross fuckin killing it. You keyboard fags need to get a job.
yeeeeeezy back baby i love this beat, how can you say it odesnt go hard??? those horns!!!

This Is Music
Yeah Can Go Ahead A Sneeze Because My Presence Blessed You – Kanye West (Yh Ignorant Rap Is Back )
not mad.
It’s dope but I did expect better my dudes.
Ye produced this right??? At the end of the track it sound like it about to segue into Drake “Show me a good time” lol
dammmn ye killin this rap shit lately!
It’s good, not special…
and i don’t wanna be a hater…
but Rick ross doing that “uhhhhhh” sound it’s annoying…
for real…
LISTENING WITH NO HATE……….RICK ROSS CAN’T RAP
IF DO THAT “UGHH” SHIT, SO DISRESPECTFUL
KANYE GOT THE OLD DR. DRE SOUND KIT, HE PUNCHING IN SOME OF THE OLD DRE SHIT.
THE SONG SUCKS IT SOUNDS A LITTLE OFF
DO YOUR HOMEWORK HIP-HOPPERS!!!!!!!
I expected a club banger but instead we got an upbeat track…It’ll grow on me.
Where’s the CDQ?
Can’t wait for both albums…this shit is serious
Nice track I digs
RICKY ROSS IS GARBAGE! BUT KANYE IS FUCKING G.O.O.D!
HATE ME NOW!
What is it with this black inspirational shit? Turned to drug dealer nonsense? I can’t stand what Rick Ross is doing nor that kAnye is making music with him. Can someone splice just the yeezy verse so we can hear what good rap sounds like? rosses corny raps about pirates and rockin a house like a boat when he goes left step right step cuz he is so fat doesnt really do it for me.. and never has.. get rid of this cancer
WHAT A LET DOWN I THOUGHT IT WOULD OF BEEN BETTER
BEAT IS LIKE AN EARLY KANYE JOINT I FUCKS WITH IT . .
BETTER THAN I EXPECTED, BUT REGARDLESS, OFFICER RICKY STILL CAN’T RAP TO SAVE HIS LIFE!!!! ‘YE KILLED IT AS USUAL.
BAWSE SHOULD RETIRE BEFORE HIS CHUBBY ASS GET SWALLOWED.
some of yall lyin cause this shit dope. perfect timing for the summer perfect time for this record. peace up!
Beat’s hot, Ricky’s not, Kanye on SPOT
Yeezy kills, easy.
WTF @ the drums on this track!!! Them soft, girlie, southern 808 bullshit drums over a sample???? Emphatic NO!!! These drums completely ruin this track, considering the horns are dope as hell, and Ye killed it
SO ICY CLOW FUCKS WITH GUCCI AND WACKA AND HE’S WRITING MUSIC REVIEWS!
HATE ME NOW!
ross killed the 2nd verse.yeezy went all in.good shit
ye iz back to 2004-2005 ye classic joint
“look at Haiti children dying round the clock, would send a 100 grand but thats a decent watch”
is no one hearing this shit? this is a fuck outta here and c’mon son at once.
fuck ross. mufuckas sayin music is just entertainment, go kill ya selves. music is art and life, big and pac died for this shit and now we have stupid fucks sayin its ok to be fake? and then this actor fucker just goes and spits on haiti like that? Immortal Technique needs to go kill that fat fuck
This is an epic track. Kanye’s verse was classic. Tony Williams killed that hook. #GOODMusic
You know what I guess most of expected a club banger like Monster but instead we get a track that’s more upbeat. I can see why Ross wanted Spike Lee to direct the video after listening to the song a few times.
@lup
I think you missed the entire point of that line.
Ye Killed it but the drums are annoying IMO. Kanyeezy, stop doing tracks with Ross please
LOL this nigga said Pac and Biggie died for music, music ain’t kill them niggas, shut the fuck up lol
I LOVE THIS TRACK, AND I LOVE RICK ROSS 😀
He’s definitely one of my favorite emcees right now along wit Kanye, can’t wait for the album, why y’all get so damn madd for, relax and breathe. Its just entertainment and good music,
LUDA WOULD’VE KILLED THIS SHIT! YE SHOULD’VE GAVE THIS TO HIM FOR LUDAVERAL
the song is ok……it wasnt kanyes best verse…..but hey why would he put a nice verse on a trashy rick ross album, save that good verse for his album or jay, aubrey,EM, and etc
This wasn’t good at all
@lup and @sideshowRaheem
see, that’s how rumors start. somebody (lup) take something that somebody (rozay) said, add somethin to it/take somethin away from it/change it up ever so subtly, speak on it, sent it out, call about it, email it, twitter it, facebook it……itsawrap as we know it.
dude (rozay) said:
““look at Haiti children dying round the clock, ninja…… I SENT A 100 GRAND but thats a decent watch, ninja”
you (lup) said he (rozay) said:
“look at Haiti children dying round the clock, would send a 100 grand but thats a decent watch”
so @sideshowRaheem, not only did he miss the point of the line, HE MISSED THE LINE!!! so how could he get it?!?
smh……………..
@lup
I’m with you 100% on this, and the point wasn’t lost on me. That line is one of the most fucked up, ignorant, selfish, disrespectful things I’ve ever heard in a song. I’ve known Ross is garbage and I only checked this track because Yeeze was on it (lazy-ass verse) – but damn… how fucking stupid can this guy be. And anyone giving him an ounce of respect for what he said needs to check themselves.
this is a good upbeat song, i like it!
HATE ON ME HATERS!
@instigator
Even if that’s how the line was wrote and intended, it is just as disrespectful. You do see that right?
I hate when when Kanye drags his words out like “jeeeeeeeeeeewler” but overall I actually like Kanyes verse, I like the production. Not a fan of the hook.
Its ok, but i’m starting to think…
Deeper Than Rap > Teflon Don (So Far)
Deeper Than Rap is still my shit right now.
Probably will Grow On Me The Drums Make Me Hate It !
I was expecting something more epic. I’m a big Ye fan not so much Ross but it wasn’t a bad track, Average and fits William’s bill.
@lup
You got the whole line wrong bruh bruh and took it out of context but besides that the track is fire! Ross did his thing but Yeezy sounds hungry right now
Fix your ears people.This is not that good.Kanye merks it,track is fire,Ross just sounds the same,GARBAGE!!!
GO BUY POWER ON ITUNES!!!
@funcrusher,
the line right b4 the one in question says it all. thats where the point lies. see, i can tell that your (pre) hate for ricky is blinding you, and if a cat is blind then how can he be made to see?!?
but i will try:
the point being that cats aint doing right with they life and all that comes with it…..they are living “fast” and dying “young”. the dilemma that fast livin wealthy cats face constantly,such as situations like “should if donate to the haitians……or cop this fresh watch?…hmm…..decisions, decisions…….imma donate……but damn imma miss coppin the watch……oh well…”
that thats even a dilemma for some ppl, is telling. nevertheless, thats how it is, you can ask giz. if it wasnt that way and cats dont be thinkin like that, he woulda never even thought of that. but as i said…thats how it is, you can ask giz.
i hope you got it now.
@instigator
holy shit that is a terrible rebuttal. Your own comments point out exactly what’s wrong with the line.
quoting you: “should i donate to the haitians……or cop this fresh watch?…hmm…..decisions, decisions”. You can’t seriously think weighing those 2 options out as if they are comparable, is a reasonable line for the premise of the song. The concept of “live fast, die young” is nothing new (it’s actually cliche as hell), but dude turns it in to something else when he debates whether he should buy a watch, or help out thousands of suffering people with is money.
It’s that moment in the song where the shit goes off the tracks. Even if he did donate to Haiti, the fact that he weight it against buying a fucking watch is beyond disrespectful. It’s not a legitimate dilemma, it is an ignorant one.
First i wanna shout out everybody that’s feeling this track n its ok if u like it but on some real shit this track is straight dudu i thought ye was back wtf ?
@ the instigator…Funcrusher sonned you decent and he is right. When I listened to and thats the only line that stood out and I was like WTF!? Was he serious? A watch and a whole country in despair?
Damn, this is hot
“and i’m bout to hit up jacob the jeweler so I can be like Rick and rule ya”- Kanye
must be talking about that new chain lol
Rick Ross makes mood music…..but Ye did some justice to the beat I think. For the record I think Kanye is too good to be fucking with Ross……but get that paper I guess. I NEVER been a Ross fan btw. This aint just start because of 50. LOL!
@WTF I mean you gotta think that Kanye hasn’t really brought his A game for another nigga’s album. But why the fuck am I defending Kanye?! LMAO!!
awful, no hate. love ye and ross but fail.
Dope
im tired of u lames given this nigga ross credit like he nice the nigga is trash.. hes not nice ..like fareel..n he fuckn corny n this song is a 3/10 so therefore this song is as garbage as ross or wateva he call hisself now. u internet fans dnt kno shit.
Yo Lyrically and flow wise Rick Ross is the shit. Oh my God dude has put in work and I swear regardless of that c.o. Shit dude is the hottest rapper or 2010. This guy’s mixtape murked half the cd’s out this year. I’m a fan and his last verse on this is classic.
@ funcrusher & miami…he didnt son anything…ross starts the verse saying “feels like niggas gettin money for the wrong reasons….he ends it wit “im getting better cuz i woulda leased a dropped nigga”….AND THEN he say JUST WATCH (double entendre) imma get my money RIGHT….
NOT ONLY DID U 2 FUCKS MISS THE LINE, U MISSED A GREAT LONES…he put that together nice…if yall get off these niggas gats long enuff to just listen maybe yal would hear!!!! BTW how much did you donate to Haiti?????
i like it cuz its diffrent,not wut was expected…kanye wit an old College Dropout-Late Registration beat…i think they both rapped well on tha song…jus my opinion…
Ye sound correct on this but it doesn’t fit Ross style. Overall nice song.
No dramatic comment from me
K.o.D. i beat u its yo lame azz Eminem groupie using my screen name FAG
The song is a good album cut, not epic but a good solid tune…
As far as the watch line he isnt being disrespectful he is basically saying he donated 100k but thats just a watch meaning in hindsight he could have done more…If anyone is mad @ that its silly because which one on here donated that much or even a comprable percentage of what Ross donated…
And even b4 the tragedy in Haiti Ross speaks on donating to the island as far back as Trilla (if its a figment of his imagination who knows but he been reppin for the Zo’s b4 it was trendy and politically correct)
Dope. I can tell this isn’t CDQ either. Beat is mean.
awful
can someone cut ross out and give me the yeezy verse only?
the beat wld’ve been mad dope without the retarded drum programming….as usual Ross sucks, still deepthroatin’ those garbage azz lyrics and wassup wit those lines : “…look @ Haiti, childrens dyin’ round the glock, nigga/ I send a 100 gram bt that’s a decent watch, nigga…” WHAT THE FUCK’S WRONG WIT THE FAT BASTARD, comparin’ human lives 2 a fuckin’ watch, definitely only ignorant muafuckaz buy his sh8….and no, ‘Ye doesn’t come off hard on dis 1, none spectacular, jst another skip…
* ….childrens dyin’ round the clock….
Banger. Period.
More greatness from rozay & ye. Haters please continue the hate.
nyg718 i totally agree..it is garbage ..the beat is way too bad..and whoever says rick ross sounds bad here-ppl he always sounds bad..
This song would be much much more better if it was just Ye.
@Ol’ Head,
Thank you for that comment. Haters I tell ya……
I just want to know how that comment was phucked up also…he said he saent 100K when he could have bought a watch…..SO WHAT HATERS!!! Its HIS money
LOL @ THESE DUDES WHO ALL TYPE IN CAPS THEN END IT WITH
THIS IS MY CATCH PHRASE!!!!!!!
i feel like rapradar.com has turned into wwf
IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOOOOKINN
This sucks.
I love ding dongs in my mouth
Sick production.
http://clintbeefman.wordpress.com
Plus I love ding dongs in my mouth too!!!!!!
@funcrusher and omg.miami
i stand by my story and the fact that some of you are just not listening or do not comprehend story telling.
its fictious tales while trying to deliver a message. why else would he call it “live fast, die young”? the message is in the title and then in the lyrics, interpersed throughout the exaggerated false tales that he tells in it.
i mean, if you REALLY BELIEVE that he was weighing the options between giving to haiti and buying a watch…….then that means that you REALLY BELIEVE that he did buy maseratis for the crew, as he states on the line before that, RIGHT? or are you selective in what you believe from the lyrics? or are you like me……i do not believe that he did this or that, but that i understand that hessimply trying to tell a tale of fast living, and the early death that it usually brings, whether that “death” is real (just think about some dudes you knew that died young due to the “fast life”) or symbolic (just think “big meech” or “scott storch”).
with that bit about haiti and the watch, he is conveying a sentiment that REALLY IS held by some people of the world: SELF
Hello children… I’ve come back for you all. We will be together forever now, I promise. HE-HE!
CONT’D………
with that bit about haiti and the watch, he is conveying a sentiment that REALLY IS held by some people of the world: SELF FIRST EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS WHO NEED YOUR HELP.
I’m coming for that ten mill nigga!
I like it. Ross is keeping hip hop alive right now… everybody else is tryin to do Rock rap or mixtape bullshit.. this sounds like real music. PROPS…
@the instigator – I see where you comin from my dude… you might be the only one on this board with sense.
@Ol’ Head why all the name calling? Why are you hating on MY opinion? And I didnt send nothing because I am going through. I watched it on TV down here in Miami for weeks.
@the instigator – And some good brain… hit a gay nigga’ up at 720-365-8039 and we’ll talk about our future together.
@FUNCRUSHER and @THE INSTIGATOR,
Here is the only rebuttal necessary:
The CORRECT version of the line is:
LOOK AT HAITI CHILDREN DYIN ROUND THE CLOCK/
SENT 100GRAND BUT THATS A DECENT WATCH/.
You both are wrong. He DID NOT debate over dying kids or a watch!?!? lmao. It’s a f***g metaphor smart guys….”children dying AROUND THE CLOCK/DECENT WATCH? GET IT????
The “watch” he’s talking about is a metaphor for the “children dyin around the clock,” and the playful way that he calls the children “a decent watch” isn’t meant as an insult. He’s just nonchalantly saying that 100grand is money that won’t be missed at all because IT WAS WORTH IT. If he had said it was a “cheap watch” THEN it would have been a clear insult.
The song is “straight.” Excited to hear some classic Yeezy and Ross is nice despite the CLEAR hate that he receives on this site. I’m actually not a big fan of the hook though…little cliche.
@BARZINI MEETING u made me laugh with these–The song is “straight.” Excited to hear some classic Yeezy and Ross is nice despite the CLEAR hate that he receives on this site. I’m actually not a big fan of the hook though…little cliche.
@BARZINI MEETING let me get in dat ass sweet cheeks.
hahah @B.W.COMPTON.S JUNIOR..u made me laugh too xD
OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE READING WAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH INTO THAT HAITI LINE BECAUSE YOU ARE FUCKING INTERPRETING IT 100% INCORRECTLY!!!
There is no debate over a f****g watch? lmao. I know i just wrote a paragraphe, but i just skimmed the comments again and seen 10 MORE people saying things like: “he is conveying a sentiment that REALLY IS held by some people of the world: SELF.”
I completely understand how you may have come to that conclusion and what you are trying to say is commendable, but IT’S STILL WRONG! lol.
HERE IS THE LAM EN’S TRANSLATION OF WHAT DUDE SAID SO THAT YOU PEOPLE WILL STOP ARGUING ABOUT THE WRONG SHIT. LOL.
I gave ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to Haiti and it was very fulfilling. I’m very happy that I did MORE THAN EVERYONE WHO COMMENTS ON RAPRADAR MULTIPLIED BY A THOUSAND and i would gladly do it again. Not only am i a rapper, but I’m very very rich, which makes my point of view is somewhat jaded, so when i compare the feeling of giving a 100grand to buying a new watch please don’t misunderstand. I’m simply saying (in a baller ass way) that doing something good made me feel as good (if not more) as when i go and buy a nice watch?
get it??
No still????
Then i guess u never will.
*which makes my point of view somewhat jaded.
1 FAG + 1 COP = Hip Hop – GTFO!!! I’ll go back to the “RECOVERY” of rap.
you are correct, I guess, he was saying he gave a hundred grandbut he was humble about it IMO, saying its only a watch, which in turn , not humble because he is saying he has it like that.
Good, but will get boring soon in my opinion.
Not much replay value at all.
Disappointing considering what Ross said about the track.
also the Big and Pac line is just embarassing.
FIIRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE DOPPPPPEEEEE
The track is called live fast die young..
The line fits perfectly in context of the song. Who is to know how much Ross actually did donate.. so how bout yall stop hatin. Willing to bet he donated more than you haters.
Take it for what it is.. MUSIC
It’s decent, I was expecting much better though. Oh well, atleast there’s still Good Ass Job.
its aight, expect more……
GREAT.. !!
I can’t get jiggy with little boys to this kind of music.
@funcrusher co-sign wif but, what do you expect from tha correction officer , and kanye sounds like a bitch his style gettin old draggin and stretching shit out nigga sound like oj da juiceman aye aye aye
THIS TRACK IS CRAZY! oh my.. wow, CRAZY!
solid not hot but solid
@instigator @Barzini Meeting @daffysci
There are some real funny replies on here, and some wild justification / interpretations of “the line”. let’s see if I can address each point of view.
WORDPLAY
For those of you who think he is saying the line to demonstrate some sort of clever wordplay, we’re talking about Ross here. your giving dude wayyy too much credit in the creativity department. In fact, he adds n***a to the end of the 4 bars in the verse because he can’t make it rhyme!
…and IF you still are under the impression that Ross is all-of-the-sudden “super lyrical” for that one line, tell me what is “decent” about “children dying around the clock”? a double entendre needs to work both ways.
INTENT
If Ross is a supporter of Haiti, great. If Ross donated 100K to relief efforts out there, even better.
If Ross thinks that writing a line in which he debated whether a “decent watch”, or a donation to Haiti is a hot bar for a song about living reckless and dying young – he is a fucking rich idiot.
HAITI
As for donations to Haiti, I’m not as rich as Ross but i’ve done what I can. When my good friends brother was killed in the quake, and her mom, siblings missing for days, I built them a website to raise money and get the remain family members here in the states. They’ve raised thousands of dollars through the site and her mother’s visa has been approved. she should be here before the year is up.
=====
Spin it however it feels right to you, but the bottom line is that whether Ross was trying to be clever, trying to pat himself on the back for being a donor, etc… it is beyond irresponsible to flaunt his wealth on “children dying around the clock”. Fuck him and his decent watch.
….ummmm u know what im gonna say…south wins!!!
amazing
THESE SUCKAS PAYIN’ TOP DOLLAR FOR KANYE THROW AWAY TRACKS!!!! HA!!!! SUCKAS!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
If ppl say you gonna die,
u surely live 4eva….!
We didnot even startet..!
ok you guys are putting waaaaaaay too much in this haiti line
what hes saying is that he sent that much money but felt it wasn’t enough becuase its the same amount as a decent watch. the whole live fast die young thing
thats what some people think of when it comes to that
“hmmmm i could help somebody in need, or i can just go get something i dnt need.”
instigator and ol’ head are correct…
hes not at all sayin fuck them niggas in Haiti imma go cop me a rolex. damn fools
@ i fuck strippers and jizz on there titties
your an idiot…dnt EVER compare kanye and oj da juiceman..your just not a bright person.
@ the guy saying your michael jackson and saying all that stuff…you are just a disrespectful low life
south win.
dope song. Officer ricky!!
“Look at Haiti children dying round the clock %$&*, I’d send a 100 grand but thats a decent watch n#$%^& “…..WTF SMH…..Give him what he wants and BURY THIS dude “in a dope ass watch”
If you play dis song in ya whip you’ll have a total different view of this beat. That guitar strings sound is hella Dope.
I DNT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. THIS TRACK JUS PROVES THAT KANYE IS BACK! BEAT IS DOPE. REMINDS ME OF EARLY KANYE. AND SINCE HE DNT GIVE HIS BEST BEATS AWAY, I CANT WAIT 2 C WHAT HE’S DROPPIN ON THE “GOOD A$$ JOB”
this is sick — the video, the lyrics, the vibe…the song.
