This is awful on so many levels. What a waste of a sample. What a waste of otis redding’s classic song and amazing voice. Kanye is hack and can’t work without painfully obvious samples, he needs to just go back to posing for the paparazzi in ladies clothing.
Also the double layers of stars CLEARLY forms a baphomet.

Love the Otis Redding sample, it’s hot.
they need to stop and take nap
Speak the truth!!! LMAO!!!
um…kinda like sampling 101…Kanye you are better than this beat!
What?!…Kanye has sampled a great deal.
nvm read that wrong. I guess he’s mix of the sample isn’t advanced enough for you.
They fuckin killed this track! HOT
They need to shut da hell up!! and let Otis Redding sing!!
They need to hurry up and release this album. Hiphop is sooooo boring now. minus ODD FUTURE Tyler and Earl Sweatshirt
Kanye brings the best out of people. Enjoyed it.
I’m getting this album!!! This is the Kanye that I miss since Last Registration- 2005, not the 808 and Dark Twisted Kayne, I hated that era, Can’t wait until Aug 5!!
It’s okay, but def a album filler! Love them to death tho!

They messed up Otis’s song with they GARBAGE. This ain’t real hip hop.
Lol let me guess you listen to Waka Flaca and lames like that? This ain’t real hip hop? bish shut up, they’re the only few left in rap that makes REAL music, sit down and actually learn about music
@ LOLLL
They don’t MAKE real music… they SAMPLE real music and put their lame raps over it. This is NOT hip hop… It is JUST rap. Kanye would probably crumble into little pieces if he couldn’t sample… LAME
love this song so much so that i had to write a review on it at 6am UK time!!!
http://thetastelevel.blog...ay-z-kanye-west-otis.html
It definately a great song, I love the intro so much.
Also like the dynamism. Keep them coming.
I’m not a fan of J-Zay but love Kanye and I like this song but it seems a little unfinished the way it ended. But need to hear other songs before committing to buy it.
I mean Jay-Z .

I like Ye & Otis ….. but why is Jay rappin about a Benz and stuff…. Kanye is the creative one.
Kanye was rhyming about a Benz too go back and listen to the track he said Benz atleast 3x including a mention of a Maybach stop skimming thru music
For those who didn’t know: “In 1997, Mercedes-Benz presented at the Tokyo Motorshow a luxury concept car under the name Mercedes-Benz Maybach (V12, 5987 cc, 550 hp). Mercedes-Benz decided to develop and market the car under the sole brand name of Maybach.” That’s why they are talking about Benz. Like I said a couple of comments below, fly shit. I like being fly so I respect it.
Eh…..it’s ok.
Have y’all heard “That’s My B*tch”? I hope it makes the album! Now THAT song is CRAZY!
I love it!
C’mon GTFOH ….Garbage!!
where is tupac at when u need him -this track has no substance – we really needed another track of hip hop artist telling us how rich they are gtfoh…. pure bullshit -
CO-SIGN… In The Climate Of People Trying To Make Ends Meet, Talking Materialistic Over The Legend’s Voice ( OTIS ) this is so disrespectful on so many levels. Sure one can have a anthem of BRAGGADO but seriously IMO this was straight garbage. More Conscious Delivery would have made this track a standout. Wow, like so disappointed on this.
Really??? Its one record that happens to be a flashy record a talk shit record, I could have swore every MC before and after Jay and Kanye got a few talk my shit records not every record has to be a knowledge kicker damn these niggas just having fun. Its one song homey get out the basement
ILL– Really Babes that’s how I feel. Every artist has a BRAGGADO MOMENT. You don’t have to give me the 1&2 on Hip Hop and records. Settle down. I came on the board just as a commenter but here’s the quick run down on me BEBE. Jay or Ye artist I’ve covered in my Publications and Talk Shows don’t get my every co-sign. I just played some Triumph and Mass Appeal on my show LOLITA’S BLISS last night babes I know how it all works. Though some ppl hate it when Hip Hop Pioneers talk but I am one of thousands who fought for this music genre which has grown beautifully with the tag along of lost ones. THANK US WHENEVER OR NEVER but the whole talk ish album filler however anyone wants to describe it, didn’t do it for me. ( laughing ) So you can cool your heels. It’s opinions baby ( male/female ) whomever you are. Others pioneers or no feel how they want to feel. That’s why I call Hip Hop MOSAIC. It’s all love, you like it yo… that’s cool. Homey? No… Not at all, do better when you agree to disagree. Oh yea, THANK GOD FOR THE BASEMENT that’s where many classics were born. I shall not address you again. Be well with yourself.
Opinions… we all have one

Man Kanye kills this song .. Jay need ot go a little harder
I agree kanye murked Jay
Both went in. But that line “Photo shoot fresh. Looking like wealth. I’m about to call the paparazzi on myself.” It’s simple but nice. And wonder how many people are looking up Hublots watches. Jay’s getting old but you can’t hate. That’s fly shit.
I was on Hublot months ago before this record my shit aint real but its nice tho you cant tell the difference I keep it clean
@ILL I heard that.
HOOOOOTTTTT SSSTTTTTTUUUUUFFFF…… thats why i fucks with jay and kanye they never disappoint.
I oon’t give A FUCK what anyone thinks, this song is a blantant disrespect to Otis Redding, his creativity, his love of music and writing skills. It is also an INSULT to our intelligence to think that we would just accept anything as a consumer. WTF are they even talking about, OTIS as the title of the song. What the fuck are they saying, doing…. Old School Hip Hop one commentary mentioned, to you as well, what planet have you been living on…This is nothing short but plain fuckery; garabage and all of theee above.. Man, Jay and Kanye, get the fuck back in the lab and try again. . I can’t believe they think this shit is on the ONE !!!!!!!!!!! Its not !
LOL you posted 3 times and the last post is a paragraph. You’re stupid, nobody cares what you say. I love when people think they know hip hop and then say they know past soulful singers. Go sit down and listen to your Nicki Minaj bullshyt and sit your old ass down please Thanks much love
@MSMARYLAND
I agree. I had a very hard time making out the nonsensical jibberish these two idiots were rapping about. This song was over-produced and under-produced at the same time. If this is their “teaser track”, then this album will be as big a failure as Jay-Z’s album with R.Kelly. The only conclusion that I can come to is that “Otis” must be codeword for something else…
Its just one record off an entire album with a Otis Redding sample, an incredible sample they felt like talking shit and have fun and brag about shit every MC has done that since day one in cyphers in fact they used to rhyme on the breaks on their parents records that included Earth Wind and Fire and other legends and brag about shit its nothing disrespectful or anything negative, calm down you are coming off like you work for Fox News
Who cares about a fuggin watch !!! not being a customed to customs.. really yall..really… again, whats the point of this song..
Kanye and Jay rapping over a Otis joint doesn’t even sound good….Once again GARBAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this album is going to be better than nicki minaj , jill scott, drake , waka, and whoever else you listen to, if nas would have rapped on this beat with the same subject you would be saying it was the illest thing ever, go listen to commmon ft nas, “ghetto dreams” theyre talkin about bitches and and shit but i dont hear anyone complaining about them, people are wayyyy to hard on jay & kanye, which means one thing…they must be the best
DISTANT RELATIVES ALBUM!
That Distant Relatives Album was a let down and this is coming from a huge Nas fan
Hott…. Luv it
I HATE PEOPLE FROM MARYLAND, CAUSE THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH AND I CANT HANDLE IT.
LOL so MsMaryland after you make different names up, just to hate on a song, you REALLY think people are going to believe you know music? I hope you have a job because it seems like your life is just going down the toilet since you sit here and make different names to hate LOL
Thanks LLOL that pretty much sums it up.. #needIsaymore. LOL
Hot garbage. Oh well, back to Curren$y
Lmao….Now that nigga is well rounded trash!! I cant believe you wrote that
I LOVE IT!!!
Don’t like it.
this is hip hop not that other shit you dumb fucks consider to be real hip hop take a look fucker!
This bullshat…..they won’t be getting my money! Kanye needs to stop letting Jay Z jump on his bandwagon because he damn sure does not need that ninja and Jay Z knows this!
Bragging about watches at 45?? Really? No like really? GTFOH!
I AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I heard this on the radio the other day…not bad. Oh and trust me Otis Reading’s Estate is fine with this and endorsed it or you wouldn’t hear him in the song. Also, today’s youth don’t know a think about Otis maybe this will make them want to know him and his great music.
I expect 100% more for Jay and Kanye what they have achieved as brothers is second to none but it is time to use their music to school youngster and allow the bullshit lyrics. When i sit down and listen distant relatives it is truly uplifting to hear some much positive energy but this song has no substance. I refer to Jay Z’s song lost ‘ones’, enough said.

I’d rather listen to Donkey from Shrek sing his version!! This pure GARBAGE

I LOVE IT !! This is real hip hop by two of the best in the game. I Get sooooooo tired of hearing about the same ol BS thats on most other rap songs these days.
Undeniably imagine that which you stated. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the internet the easiest factor to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as folks consider issues that they just do not understand about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as smartly as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other people can take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
