Watch The Throne - 16. The Joy (Feat. Curtis Mayfield) (Produced By Pete Rock, Kanye West )

[JusFeel1]

Can't go wrong with Curtis Mayfield =]

[Kuct]

none of 'TheThrone88' upload of these songs are the correct versions

[rocafellafrica]

tones of the crossroads. Black music from the makings created music and enjoyed it. Rebellion came from church and their lungs gave hope then domination. With the right tool

the right decision was ultimately made and he walked and found peace in companion to the sound and with audience to echo they are kings of music and the crossroads.

[KingSane07]

naw u aint listen dog they black they sisters they mama named dem after white bitches

[Aisha2178]

someone is constipated

[COOLERU]

@Aisha2178 lol my dad said that too xD

[Aisha2178]

@COOLERU HA

[Ether357]

where'd the beats go?!

[Mrjones1227]

I love the track. I love Jay. I love Pete Rock, but why does he get credit for a great beat? This is Curtis Mayfield Beat! Its damn near exactly the same! What did Pete Rock do?

[magicmc23]

beat is so well produced.

[boba719]

Back to old school maybe kids will learn what real music is and resurrect hip hop to its former glory.

[gcox1993]

imagine Rick Ross on this jaunt..

[asfaha3]

[EleRoseNYC]

@gcox1993 #KillYourself

[insessyasha]

i feel like they ripped me off with this song, i heard this on a goodfriday:l but good song:D

[andres65080]

Damn this is like a vintage Kanye. Wish he did more of this stuff again

[Rsaint17]

[houston713xxx]

[vonderekjr]

uh...uh....uh

[just1lives]

cuz its the same sample? yeah.

[uip63]

If Curtis heard the lyrics to this song he never ever would have his vocals on it. He made songs with meaning,and substance!!!!

[gspott699]

never mind you miss the point

[gspott699]

@gspott699 i know that asshole but your point was... have a seat in your house

[pallydf90]

UH! i kinda like that sound after almost every line makes the line sound more powerful

[lsmith3710]

im too high for this song

[DEATHizEverywhere]

sounds like Dilla to me

[justinC2421]

I would love this song but the background noise is too fucking distracting

[JRDStv]

how shit is the album artwork to this

[iReasonII]

honestly Kanye West killed this and Jay-Z took a step back completely.

[iReasonII]

Should've been a Kanye West solo joint!

[iReasonII]

This track is CRAZY! Curtis Mayfield singing on it! Wowza. Pete Rock thank you! ILL

[BubbaDaPitcha4]

Pete Rock and ye did they thang on this!

[xxjamaalxx]

such a beautiful soulful album! this is why kanye is one of my fav rappers/producers

[lukejeter7]

jay z kills every track

[Edwachable]

No electro, no metro, a little retro, aaaah perfecto!

[kabirthepunjabi]

what the fack? there was only thirteen tracks on my album. where did this come from?

[MrBlazern]

@kabirthepunjabi On the Deluxe edition there is three additional tracks.

[getbakedtonight]

1:27 is wayne lmao

[dawit199627]

kanye and the beat killing

[dawit199627]

kanye killing

[SupremeTeamFP]

Thats that MONICA hook at the beginning lol

[beatmakersuniversity]

@SupremeTeamFP - That's curtis mayfield in the beginning

[SupremeTeamFP]

@beatmakersuniversity I know who it is. Singer MONICA got a song called "A Dozen Roses" with same curtis mayfield sample at the beginning. Thats what im tryin to parlay.

[beatmakersuniversity]

@SupremeTeamFP - Yeah ok anyway Nice Beat on your page

[SupremeTeamFP]

@beatmakersuniversity Preciate it my dawg

[gspott699]

@SupremeTeamFP wrong

[SupremeTeamFP]

@gspott699 GO listen to "A Dozen Roses" by MONICA, and tell me that aint the same hook by Curtis Mayfield in her song. Its the same sample retard....

[l3joint]

@SupremeTeamFP jay z bites from everyone so dont be suprised

[tokinblckgie]

That's gotta be Charlie Wilson singing background on the hook.

[ousseynoundy]

@tokinblckgie It says featuring Curtis Mayfield.

[tokinblckgie]

@ousseynoundy

Obviously. That's the lead sample on the chorus. I'm talking about the dude singing the "Uh huh... Heeey... Ahhh" part in the background of the chorus.

[ThinkingArt]

Kanye Killlllllllllllls this.

[juicey77mo]

....instrumental PUH- LEAZE!!!!!

[stlrider2005]

Best song on the album because the greatest producer of all time produced it and kanye went back to college dropout

[MultiSykotic]

was on GOOD Friday and The Throne lol..he shouldve had different people on each

[LIBRADEEVA]

this song is so inspiring they talk about their kids in the future in plus jay-z is about to have one so that really works

[eagletalonpl]

Like this if you heard this on G.O.O.D Friday back in november!

[eagletalonpl]

In the mirror where i see my only enemy..

[WhiteBoyMVs]

Great beat and lyrics but. the dude, moaning, or whatever in the background, annoys the fuck outta me. It kinda ruins the song -___-

[BigMikeSS420]

@WhiteBoyMVs That shit IS annoying as fuck - hahahaha. Woulda been a GREAT piece if it wasn't for that guy.

[Locuttboyz]

they sound younger.like this song was made a long time ago.an sombody fucking in the background..lol

[acdavis18]

this version sounds nasty as fuck. 

[datdude5620]

"Criminal Minded" Boogie Down Productions for all yall that didn't know XD

[BiggieeSmalls55]

Jay Fucking murdered it.

[LittleK2Productions]

i like the part where the man grunts.

[xxGoldenPandaxx]

@LittleK2Productions Honestly, i think that it adds character to the song in a way. if thats what you were thinking lol 0.o

[peppa77]

pete rock continue to lay down them laid back cl smooth tracks in 2011 and its still fire real hip hop lives on

[baileyaa11]

lmao....the background does sound funny lol

[MisterGriffin20]

i'd play this while screwing

[JetSetta313]

For all u idiots that dont know music.. Monica already used this sample and got permission for it in 2009.. Listen to Monica - A Dozen Roses

[gjbap]

@JetSetta313 John Robinson ft John Robinson and Edgar Allen Flo with Justus League. Great sample, but heavily rinsed!

[essay708]

Kanye is getting sued for this sample.

[njakasqakarell16]

@essay708 Pete Rock Said He AIn't Sample Ish

[ThatNiggaFree]

@njakasqakarell16 pete rock dont sample? yea right everything he does is a sample. a dope on

[gwendylynne]

the guy groaning in the backround is distracting me from the rest of the song!!! lol

[keithfaceification]

@gwendylynne "this beat deserve hennessey a bad bitch and a bag a weed, the holy trinity. i look in the mirror and see my only enemy, your lfie's cursed, well mine's an obscenity." PAY ATTENTION! it's sooo nice lol

[Younessrocks]

[DJRAKKK]

@Younessrocks thats SOUL in the Backround LoL

[bj3stock]

@Younessrocks No, but someone might be having sex. 

[aliciaaa318]

@Younessrocks lmfao i thought this too. sooo awkward

[beatmakersuniversity]

@aliciaaa318 - Nah that is a old soul sample called Different strokes that they are about to pay out of there ass for using without permission .lol

[Stedman07]
