Jay-Z : Jockin’ Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh)

Jay-Z - Jockin’ Jay-Z ( Dope Boy Fresh )( *Produced By:Kanye West )

Jay-Z’s first record from The Blueprint 3, ” Jockin’ Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh), ” has hit the airwaves and the Internet. Hov’ debuted part of the record onstage at Madison Square Garden in New York last week while making a guest appearance at ” Kanye West’s - Glow In The Dark Tour ” stop.It’s now clear he was rapping the second verse. The first verse starts with Jigga giving a tip of his blue New York Yankees cap to Run-DMC. ” I rock with Obama but I ain’t no politician, ” Hov’ raps, ” And I chill with the thugs and the gangsters too/ I ain’t a Blood but I’m warring with the boys in blue/ Crooked officer, crooked officer/ Why you wanna see me in a coffin, sir? “ The hook uses Run from Run-DMC’s voice and takes us back to the late ’80s when the Kings from Queens dropped ” Dumb Girl. ” Run rapped, ” Seen you jockin’ J.C./ ‘Cause he got a Mercedes/ And you know about his ladies. “ ” Jockin’ Jay-Z ” ends with Hov’ overtly sending a shout-out to Pimp C — and championing his wife’s physique, among other sharp lines. Kanye West’s production on the track is not so soulful, in the original Blueprint mode, but is more of a throwback to hard-hitting drums and gold-chain swagger.A couple days ago on Shade 45 satellite radio, Hov’ said that he wasn’t sure if Blueprint 3 would be coming out this year, but he does have some records done already.
