Jigga’s Kingdom Come was just one of a few notable leaks this weekend, and it marks the end of the least-retired retirement in human history. Self-lauding is nothing new to the rap game, but in the case of Jay-Z, you can’t even argue, whether he’s talking skills, net worth, or reach; dude transcends the game. He’s on track to be hip-hop’s first billionaire, with some eyebrow raising moves to court the NASCAR crowd (buddying up with Dale Earnhardt, Jr.), as well as those who enjoy the champagne of beer: Budweiser Select (to the extent they’re distinct subsets of society). In fact, he’s gonna be co-brand director of said beverage. If you don’t know you should aks about him.
But it’s not just the blue collar crew’s money Sean Carter wants — he’s after the Star Wars fans, too! What better way than to enlist Mr. Paltrow to produce and lend his golden, multi-tracked falsetto to Kingdom Come’s album closer. For the sake of bandwith, here’s a SendSpace:
Jay-Z (Featuring Chris Martin) – “Beach Chair” (MP3) (SendSpace)
It’s the most earnest track on the record (hence the Coldplay), but the record is a sampling of all of dude’s moods …
“The Prelude” is a master class in lazy flow, “Oh My God” is the battle cry thesis, “Show Me What You Got” is a beer commercial jingle, etc. And he ain’t doing it alone! For a peek at the guests, guests, and more guests, check the tracklist:
01. “The Prelude” (Produced by B-Money)
02. “Oh My God” (Produced by Just Blaze)
03. “Kingdom Come” (Produced by Just Blaze)
04. “Show Me What You Got” (Produced By Just Blaze)
05. “Lost Ones” (Featuring Chrissette Michelle/Produced by Dr. Dre)
06. “Do U Wanna Ride” (Feat. John Legend/Produced by Kanye West)
07. “30 Something” (Produced Dr. Dre)
08. “I Made It” (Produced by DJ Khalil)
09. “Hollywood” (Featuring Beyoncé/Produced by Scyience)
10. “Trouble” (Produced by Dr. Dre)
11. “Dig A Holw” (Featuring Sterling Simms/Produced by Scyience)
12. “Minority Report” (Featuring Ne-Yo/Produced by Dr. Dre)
13. “Beach Chair” (Featuring Chris Paltrow/Produced by Chris Paltrow)
Kingdom Come is out 11/21 on Roc-A-Fella.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa….Let’s not slander the real champagne of beers by associating it with Budweiser. Any true hipster knows that Miller High Life is the champagne of beers, not Budweiser Select. Aks somebody, indeed.
Holla!@
@Mat, true dat!
hallelujah, mat!
New Jay-Z album is easily his 4th best, and coming from him that is quite complimentary. There are only two songs that are skippable (the Beyonce-assisted “Hollywood” and the one about his mama).
What else leaked this weekend, though? Anybody know?
i too, am just going to comment about beer. because this damn track download is taking to long for me to post anything poignant. thanks, though.
bloc party leaked, too.
I don’t know what Jay-Z was doin on this album. i am well was a huge Jay fan but this album is worse than Beyonce’s, I think that maybe they (in some weird way) made a bet to see who could make the worst album and because of Jays history he has won hands down. I am so disappointed in this garbage. I am one of the many people who couldn’t wait for the Jay-Z album so I downloaded it and it is atrocious. This has to be one of his worst. Man he should’ve stayed retired. And were the hell were the infamous Timabaland and Jay-Z songs, what was he thinking, my bad clearly he wasn’t. Jay now is not the time to experiment, go with what works, and it is not this album.
does anybody believe that Jay-Z wants ta come out of retirement because of all of the attention on da south or fa the hell of it(jus ta give Def Jam the last album he owes them), if u ask me, i believe its the first one, cause no one is really focused on Hip-Hop from da East Coast right now unless it has a lil dance ta go with it, thats jus my opinion. he also said it ” New York we back”(show me what u got)
How’s the new Bloc Party? Anybody listen to it yet?
Just “one of a few notable leaks?” Bloc Party, Jay-Z, anything else?
Deerhoof got leaked as well.
Umm is it me or is anybody else hearing the theme from “Rocky” on this track?
I cannot stomach Chris Paltrow.
Man, that Kanye song sucks.
Rest of the album’s hot, though.
Bud is the self proclaimed “King of Beers”, Bud Select is super watery diet beer for sorrority girls. Jay Z pimps the beer for white girls.
Oh and his latest Album blows.
The bloc party is hot to death.
its chris martin not parltrow
its chris martin not parltrow
its chris martin not parltrow

Clearly this is Jay-Z at his best, bringing Hip Hop to a level that no one has seen. Yeah some of you out there wanted him to spew out some old familar tracks, but that aint HOV. He takes you there and where is there you might say? It’s one step beyond. Face it he’s not idle, That’s why he really should be called the Ginger Bread Man! They’ll never catch him. He gave the game a head start and Damn they did nothing but weak attemps at making hits. You gotta have a strong back to last long!
Peace
how dare ya’ll throw salt on Jay’s game this man is a LEGEND!! This man doesnt even write his songs, he freestyles them n still goes platinum. Ok maybe not every song on there is that good (i.e. Anything, Hollywood, Minority Report) but this is Jay’s best album to date….hands down.
I think Jay-Z has a true gift from God, but he will never be what he was ment to be unless he submits himslf to Jesus Christ, and the same goes for u, Jesus Christ suufered a horrible death so we can have eternal life with God the Father the true J-Hova, how but trying Jesus, say this prayer…God I know I am a sinner, I desperately need your forgiveness, I believe you step down from Heaven to save me in the form of a man named Jesus, I accept u as my Lord and Savior and I recieve you in my heart and mind. I want to live for You Jesus, thank u for saving me….If u said that and ment it u need to find a good Bible based church and a Bible and began to live life the way God intended if u have any questions r u need to talk to someone call me at 985 215 1074 ask for Brad, God Bless U
yea the Rocky theme is in tha background .. its slowed down but if you listen closely then you can pick it up ..
B3LI3V3 IT OR NOT, THIS IS ON3 OF MY FAVORIT3 JAY-Z SONGS. TH3 LYRICS AR3 SO R3AL, H3 DID HIS THING ON THIS SONG. MY FAVORIT3 PART IS
“I’M NOT AFRAID OF DI3IN’, I’M AFFRAID OF NOT TRYIN’ 3V3RYDAY HIT 3V3RY WAV3 LIK3 I’M HAWAIIN”.
heres the lyrics:
[Verse One]
Life is but a dream to me
I don’t wanna wake up
Thirty odd years without having my cake up
So I’m about my paper
24/7, 365,366 in a leap year
I don’t know why we here
Since we gotta be here
Life is but a beach ch-ch-ch-chair
Went from having shabby clothes
Crossing over Abbey Road
Hear my angels singing to me
Are you happy HOV?
I just hope im hearing right
Karma’s got me fearing life
Colleek are you praying for me?
See I got deamons in my past
So i got daughters on the way
If the prophecy’s correct
Then the child should have to pay,
For the sins of a father
So i barter my tommorows
Against my yesterdays
In hopes that she’ll be OK
And when im no longer here
To shade her face from the glare
I’ll give her my share of Carol’s Daughter
and a new beach chair
[Chorus] Jay-Z: I hear my agents sing. Chris:Life is just a dream, let it go, it go. [Jay-Z: I hear my agents sing..]Life is just a dream, let it be.[I hear my agents sing...] Life is just a dream, let it go-it go.[I hear my agents sing...] Life is just a dream, let it be.
[Verse Two]
Life is but a dream to me
Gun shots sing to these
Other guys but lullabys
Don’t mean a thing to me
I’m not afraid of dying
I’m afraid of not trying
Everyday hit every wave
Like im Hawaiian
I don’t surf the net
No i never been on myspace
Too busy letting my voice vibrate
Carving out myspace
In this world of fly girls
Cutthroats & diamond cut ropes I twirls
Benzes round corners
Where the sun don’t shine
I let the wheels give a glimpse
Of hope of one’s grind
Some said HOV, how you get so fly
I said from not being afraid to fall out the sky
My physical’s a shell
So when i say farewell
My soul will find an even
Higher plane to dwell
So fly you shall
So have no fear, just know that
Life is but a beach ch-air, ch-, chair
[Chorus] Jay-Z: I hear my agents sing. Chris:Life is just a dream, let it go, it go. [Jay-Z: I hear my agents sing..]Life is just a dream, let it be.[I hear my agents sing...] Life is just a dream, let it go-it go.[I hear my agents sing...] Life is just a dream, let it be.[Life is but a dream]
[Verse Three]
Life is but a dream Can’t mimic my life
I’m the thinnest cut slice
Innercut, the winner’s cup
With winters rough enough
To interrupt life
That’s why I’m both
saint & sinner
Nice
This is Jay everyday
No compromise
No compass comes with this life
Just eyes
So to map it out
You must look inside
Sure books can guide you
But your heart defines you
Chica
You corason is what brought us home
In great shape like Heidi Klum
Maricon, I am on
Permanent Vacay
Life is but a beach chair
This song is like a Hallmark card
Until you reach here
So till she’s here
And she declared
The heir
I will prepare
A blueprint for you to print
A map for you to get back
A guide for your eyes
And so you won’t lose scent
I’ll make a stink for you to think
I ink these verses full of pro’s
So you won’t get conned out of 2 cent
My last will and testament I leave my heir
My share of Roc-A-Fella Records and a shiny new beach chair
[Chorus]Jay-Z: I hear my agents sing. Chris:Life is just a dream, let it go, it go. [Jay-Z: Life is but a dream]Life is just a dream, let it be.[I hear my agents sing...] Life is just a dream, let it go-it go.[I hear my agents sing...] Life is just a dream, let it be.[Life is but a dream]..[i hear my agents singin`x3]
BEACH CHAIR, IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE TRACK ON KINGDOM COME. A MASTERFUL FLOW, VERY HIPNOTIC. AND A LOVING SENTIMENT TO HIS FUTURE GENERATIONS. (POETRY) COOKIE, FROM B-MORE. A JAY-Z GIRL 4LIFE.
