Holy Shit

Kanye West is bringing some serious pain with his new music. "Power" is probably the best song that he's put out in at least two albums [Personally, "Jesus Walks" will always be a favorite]. Now he's announced that he's releasing an EP with Jay-Z called "Watch the Throne".

This past Friday [G.O.O.D Friday as Yeezy called it], he released a song called "Monster" from the EP on his blog. It features: [ are you ready? really really ready?] Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver. Whaaaaaaaaaat??? Bon Iver?? The king of depressing folk music is on a Kanye track? YES. And it WORKS. Kan and J are brilliant. And Nicki Minaj- I was a big fan just mere months ago, but she's starting to work my damn nerves. She's everywhere, on every single track that you hear on the radio [perhaps she's taking over for her mentor Lil Wayne while he's in the pokey?] but she doesn't even have a full length album of her own. However, this track is probably the best guest vocal that I've heard from her all summer.

Check out the track below [sorry for the crappy video- i had a hard time finding the song elsewhere]
