Kanye West & Jay-Z - H.A.M.

The beat steals the show. Forgettable verses from both Kanye and Jay.

On the track, released on Kanye's Facebook page early Tuesday morning, Jay-Z complains that his competitors merely fantasize about what he does on a daily basis - including, but not limited to, schmoozing with Warren Buffet and Steve Forbes. He also cites this writer's $450 valuation of his personal net worth, rounding up slightly to "half a billie," before taking a shot at a fellow Hip-Hop Cash King or two: "Really, you got baby money."

The line is a double entendre meant both as a general reference to the small amount of money that other rappers have in comparison to Jay-Z, and as a specific a reference to the wealth of rapper Dwayne "Lil Wayne" Carter, also known as "Weezy Baby," and fellow New Orleans rapper and record executive Brian "Birdman" Williams, also known as "Baby."

Beat is great. Jay's verse is decent (especially considering how bad he has been recently), Kanye's is forgettable. The beat would be better suited for a Brick Squad track.

I started the song already knowing kanyes verse was going to suck but I was hoping at least the beat was going to be hot unfortunately it wasn't

on MBDTF kanye showed he can hang with Jay if he wants...he's gonna have to step it up a little bit i wonder of kanye even produced anything on the album...so far we've heard there's production from lex luger, madlib, & q-tip right? thinking about kanye & jay spazzing over a madlib beat gets me hard

I actually like the beat, but it sounds like a leftover from MBDTF. Verses weren't anything special. Still hopeful that they can deliver, though.

Only 40 year old Jay, and only when 40 year old Jay mails it in.

Word. I could make a Lex Luger beat in 10 minutes lol.

That's not even to say I don't like his sound; I just don't get why people are going crazy over it like it's something new. Have you people seriously not heard a Shawty Redd beat in the last 10 years?

It's not only that he sounds like Shawty Redd/D. Rich, but each of his beats sounds only slightly different than his last. I mean I like Lex (mainly because I like Brick Squad and he feeds them beats that match their super-violent/ignorant attitudes), but his catalog has virtually no diversity and he does very little to separate himself from other trap-rap producers.

I bet he was drunk when he tweeted that. I wouldn't get my hopes up(unless he's talking about watch the throne).
