Kanye West - The Joy (LYRICS) +Download

[solidsnakeO7D]

BEST TRACK ON THE FULL ALBUM.

[ognsk1]

Hip HOP.... This is is a hittin SONG.... NEED MORE LIKE this one right here

[rayswift707]

I was hoping "Watch The Throne" was going to be this style throughout. Oldschool Kanye and Jay-Z. Unfortunately I was wrong and this album was mediocre. Even tho this song is old, this was the best song on the album and it was a bonus track on the Deluxe version. WTF!

[oskamadison]

@rayswift707 co-sign 1000%!!!

[Marketing614]

this beat is sooooooooooooooo crazy!! DAMN!!

[chitownzflyest89]

This is that classic KanYe from Chicago, we missed this.

[ChristianMarsh1]

this going to last forever

[baha8600]

nigga said "i never understood planned parenthood cause i never met anyone who planned to be a parent in the hood"

[1Xxl3LaCkOuTxX1]

Best track on the album, Pete Rock really brought out the old Kanye and Jay with the beat.

[Yukikmydog527]

@1Xxl3LaCkOuTxX1 Agreed Handsdown. Thank you. It's not that I don't like the album, I just thought this track took everyone back to school...

[NextWorldApparel]

Jay Z went crazy on this.Ye ripped it too.They should remix it and put Common on it.

[NextWorldApparel]

@Thefting2323 no prob...unfortunately,unless you want it on Itunes,you can't get it yet lol Well you can't get the real one.It comes with a special gold packaging and I'm guessing it has artwork as Ye and J usually have in their albums.

[NY411son]

replace jay-z with common and that'll sound more better, who's with me?

[serenadesheilla]

she in her birthday suit cause of the damn CAKE n now there's crumbs all over the damn place and she want me to cum all over her damn face, i never understood planned parent hood cause i never met nobody planned to be a parent in the hood.!!!!!!!

[yeahthatstuff]

"This is my mama's shit"

Kanye + Pete Rock = New school rapping on an old school beat.

[ThaPhenomkilla101]

Kanye West > Jay-Z on this track

[TheSkinnyman85]

People honestly think this album is weak? I really don't understand...

[cpbranca312]

Its a sad day when kanye and jay z are to "real" to be put on FM stations, but gucci man can put out shit all day long and get mad play

[dgomesman]

@cpbranca312 i hear kanye n jay on radio all the time

[overbyjames]

For some reason I'm more offended when someone insults Kanye or one his albums than when someone insults me. wierd huh? /:

[chubararr]

not going to be rotating this on HOT97 for sure, this is too real for that station, f'ing losers

[NotoriousANT24]

my friend is pissed off cause this and niggas in paris are the only songs i like off this album.. im sorry but its a pete rock production how can you not like this.. he should of produce the whole album

[kanevsunder]

I got this song onwatch the throne

[thebookiemonster]

Best track on this album hands down.. The beat is insane and jay-z ripped it!!

[overbyjames]

@thebookiemonster this was actually released waaay before WTT as a GOOD FRIDAY track

[johal241]

THE GAME WOULD KILL THIS BEAT

[macnastee]

@johal241 I agree wit ya, fam! I wish The Game would stop tryna make attempts to get wit Dre n fuck wit cats like Pete Rock n Preemo. He already got that East Coast flow. He should just finish the job.

[FreshPrinceFan404]

This song and Murder to Excellence were the only good songs on that overhyped album.

[Marquise3328]

@FreshPrinceFan404

what about "new day" ? and "why i love you so" ?

[jacesphone]

god bless pete rock & solid rhymin.

[BronxisNr1]

Too bad it's Kanye Waste & Jay-Zucks on this beat!

[loadhmmmhmmm]

nigga said "this beat deserves hennesy, a bad bitch, and a bag of weed, the holy trinity" nuff saidd

[bluerapgo22]

@loadhmmmhmmm That line is blasphemous



[loadhmmmhmmm]

pete rock outdid himselff

[AmNinjah]

Pete Rock You've Done It Again . R.I.P. J Dilla This Kinda Sounds like some of JayDee's Work .

[YTthisisda]

[conthemon]

BEST SONG ON THIS WEAK FUCKING ALBUM.

[ArnthorJon]

@MrKyleGantt Pete Rock = Greatness

[4thletta]

4:04 THE JOY of snatching the Mic from a white bitch........:D

[overbyjames]

@Thefting2323 yeah, it was a bonus track on the deluxe version

[yungbailz]

Man this fuckin' song is bumpin. this whole cd bumpin. TeamYeezy nigga

[NextWorldApparel]

@Thefting2323 the deluxe version

[MrBobcats2]

I LOVE YOU KANYE WEST & JAY-Z YOU'RE THE BEST!

[itsjustnickwilliams]

why is the tempo higher than usual? i got the album and its a bit slower..

[smokeweeeeeeeeed]

i think this is sped up a tiny bit

[kingkash619]

ppl arguing about hip hop main stream & underground makes u sound like ur 40 years old shut the fuck up

[Throwbacc7]

Watch the Throne was GARBAGE!!!

[RexXxo1]

Why does this song not have like 10 million views or something?? This is the epitome of real hip-hop. Wow.

[LacidRRadicalorBBro]

3:43 CUDI

[phillyproducer]

some say they rusty? nah it's called growing up. they ain't going to rap about the same shit they started off with. it wouldn't fly. if you lookin for the reasonable doubt jay-z lyrics he's 40 plus and not in the streets like that.

[SALOE310]

Thumbs up if you knew this song before watch the throne

[zimaxxx]

i thank god for my hearing right now.

[biz20]

mother fucking pete rock

[illholla84]

kanye to a song about the purest of love and made it about degrading women aborting black children.... shame on you fuck for real bro you are a sell out ... you may as well be white kanye....

[illholla84]

these fucks ruined one my favorite songs ever Curtis would not give his blessing for a couple of demonic faggort punks talking about the destruction of our community over his voice.... I wish Curtis' people would not of allowed this bullshit...

[jgk381]

The only g.o.o.d. song on the album, that wasn't even on the album, smh. Pete Rock is still golden, jay/kanye are rusty on this album (except this track, its super dope)

[Loneleavemealone]

Tough sOng¡¡¡/•\¡¡¡

[ZoodedOwt22]

PLUS THIS WHOLE ALBUM ROX.. GET IT IF U DONT HAVE IT..

[ZoodedOwt22]

[GONJASENSAIwu]

Masta KILLA

[BeatHicular]

[HerdaViewTube]

PETE ROCK !!! NUFF SAID!

[GC954]

No one could've resurrected Curtis any better

[illholla84]

@GC954 I have enjoy all of Kanyes curtis flips, touch the sky and flashlights, but this faggot is totally shit on the black community in his verse. the faggot took a song about the purest of black love and made it about flossing and degrading our women. fuck jayz and kanye...couple of sell out ass coons for real

[riptidereborn]

wat song did he sample this from?

[brwnboii]

@riptidereborn The Makings Of You- Curtis Mayfield

[blaqwillow23]

Great sample 

[chocolateDADDY01]

[kanyecheddar1]

CRACK! just heard " otis" shits sick too. Would I loved if pete produced the whole w.t.t. though

[LilFabregas151]

@kanyecheddar1 It was Kanye alone who produced Otis..

[kanyecheddar1]

@LilFabregas151 i didnt say he didnt. i wasnt trying to say thay pete did both tracks. i was just saying cause there both going to be on W.t.t. and while Otis is a sick track i would of loved to have a whole ye and jay album produced by pete.

[LilFabregas151]

@kanyecheddar1 Misread loool

[Eazedroppin]

@ soccer. you couldn't have said it any better

[Ryz0n89]

Great song right? Maybe Kanye's most recent good song? Better than almost everything on Dark Fantasy? Yes.

Made it onto "Watch the Throne"?

Naw, only bonus track.

They got no love for good Kanye. WE WANT E.T.!

[penguinslayersyo16]

You can't hate Kanye when he makes great songs like this.

All is forgiven.

[ArnthorJon]

@penguinslayersyo16 He didn't make this song...

[penguinslayersyo16]

@ArnthorJon Pardon?

[ArnthorJon]

@penguinslayersyo16 Pete Rock made this song, Kanye only does some rapping.

[illone1981]

Pete Rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robertbils]

this version of the song is def in a differnt key..hints y jay z sounds kinda squeaky

[bomani1992]

This is gonna be a bonus track on "Watch The Throne"! Can't wait!

[Malik0615]

6 people never had joy in their life

[mmarl2k1]

Gave her a handshake only for my man's sake/she in her birthday suit, cuz of the damn cake/now it's crumb's all ova the damn place/and she wants me to cum all ova her damn face...hahahahaha classic

[aniggainapurple]

[nujrz4lyfe]

@aniggainapurple Pete Rock did the beat

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

watch the throne is going to be ridiculous. best album of the year unless kanye can pulll of another beautiful twisted fantasy

[ststama]

Just to let every know this is on the Watch The Throne album

[BeyonceFanatik1]

This song makes me calm.

[RandomLevitation]

"This is my momma shit, I used to hear this through the walls in the hood, when i was back in my pajama shit, Afros n Marijuana sticks, the seeds in the ganja had it poppin, like the sample that im rhymin with"

Clearly one of the best lines to ever be in hip hop.

[Futurenupe011]

THIS FEELS LIKE COLLEGE DROPOUT!!!!!

[AdrielVary]

@Futurenupe011 It does! I thought it was from that album

[mrdk216]

[AfterThisShutUp]

This song makes me nostalgic and puts me in a mood of serenity.

[lwsndmtrs]

di5^ 5^ong go hard a5 fcK

[starstuddiva]

This song is hot I'm loving it from the beat to the lyrics

[soccerfc123]

This is real music. This is no mainstream garbage. This is no underground garbage. This is pure, uncut Hip-Hop.

[phil211293]

@soccerfc123 why do you think? because it's produced by pete rock. one of the greatest producers to ever walk the planet. the lyrics are boss too.

[doublesho213]

@soccerfc123 THANKS TO PETE ROCK

[jaylit23]

@soccerfc123 without a doubt fuck all these haters....talkin about sell outs hahaha they probably like that soulja boy shit and that lil wayne....this one dude sayin "demonic faggot punks"? HAHAHA havent sold out shit....listen to a lot of these songs...about being black and strong dumbass

[luciousla]

@soccerfc123 no matter wat your opinion is its still mainstream.

[swagLilBallin11]

@luciousla he said garbage it can be mainstream but if its good its good

[Mdiggit]

Wtf this song is in good Fridays, why have you got a picture of 808 and heartbreak?!

[ghostfaceteen14]

Beast shit!

[kingawhatido]

Jay fucking KILLS this.

[boystop369]

@kingawhatido I hate Jay-z

[kingawhatido]

@boystop369 and you should still be able to recognize that Jay Z killed this. Greatest of all time? Rakim. Jay- z kills this, if you think not it's simply because you ARE a hater.

[boystop369]

@kingawhatido I'm not a hater, people can have opinions. I just can't vibe to his voice so I don't even try hear his lyrics. He may of killed It, but rapping Isn't only about lyrics. You need the right voice, flow, and rhyme scheme.

[kingawhatido]

@boystop369 these youtube users couldn't wash my socks

[EliteBeatzz1]

This is one of the smoothest Rap songs i done heard in a while

[sosexysocoolsobeast]

jay did pretty good

[penguinslayersyo16]

Oh and Happy Birthday, Mr. West.

[penguinslayersyo16]

It's Pete Rock, not Jay Z.

[jamesljohn]

best kanye verse in a long time...

[MrRayDarren]

Peep game troopers...I just saw the tracklist for Jay-Z and Kanye's Watch the Throne project, and this song is NOT on there! Are you f--kin' serious???? This joint is one of the dopest songs I heard in a while. But, after observing the rap game over the last six years, I ain't surprised. The industry does not want songs with soul samples because undermines their "Rap/Rockstar" movement, and it causes the people to think about upliftment....I've just about given up. SMH.

[oskamadison]

@MrRayDarren Maybe they had a sample clearance issue...but then again 'Ye jacked Curtis Mayfield on Touch the Sky and Flashing Lights so go figure. Maybe Hov pulled a Hov move and is holdin' it for his next album. Of course they would bypass the good soul food for the chinese food that leaves you hungry again in 20 minutes, lol.

[MrRayDarren]

@oskamadison- I doubt Hov is keepin' it for his album. A sample clearance problem seems like a more plausible explaination. However, I can't shake the feeling that it has to do with the "powers that be" not wanting old-school soul music on the scence anymore...lol re: the soul food analogy. Peace.

[soccerfc123]

@MrRayDarren This isn't on Watch the Throne, because it was made for Kanye's Good Fridays. This is a song that Kanye gave away because I guess he decided not to put it on the CD. I agree though, it should've been on either MBDTF or WTT

[MrRayDarren]

@soccerfc123- Got u. I will mos definitely peep the Good Friday project. Good lookin'!

[Raffasaur69]

@soccerfc123 it is on watch the throne..it was on the track list at least

[MikeCityTv]

@MrRayDarren it is gonna be on the album, but on the bonus tracks

[MrRayDarren]

@MikeCityTv - Fa sho, I just peeped the updated tracklisting. Thanks!

[mikkyochimp]

wefunk 

[lil2funny1]

THIS BEAT IS DISGUSTING! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[Cesabo]

PETE ROCK FOR THA BEAT YA DON'T STOP!!!

[MrJames7411]

This so song is sooo cold blooded, kanye (U did it again)

[ArnthorJon]

@MrJames7411 Pete Rock did it again.

[derrick85739]

KANYE IS TO DAMN GOOD

[aceofspad3s23]

[J3lloo]

Wefunkradio

[407MikeG]

[perryt3TV]

this version is too fast, timing is some much better slow

[bamfan151]

Genius....

[derrick85739]

longboard addiction this to you first of all I was born in 1994 and I know rap kanye is the best yo bitch ass just don't listen to him

[lorencio]

kanye west>>>>

[TheJwaters81]

You serious son....k weezy was makin js beats for a minute so know your history b4 you say some shiz like that. There wouldn't be k before j and ain't talkin slay...play your role homie.

[kwright2933]

Kanye ima let you finish, but jay-z should of had two verses on this man. The feel of this track has jay written all over it. Kanye did good but idk this just don't fit him as nicely, in terms of his rapping. And a mos def or even a jay electronica would have been a perfect addition, should of had more features. Still one of Mr. West's best songs though.

[AKAIRI4]

man kanye and jay z killed this shit...they at the they peck and nobody knocking them off they thron

[ericmoris4life]

best Kanye track ever! He's feelin it!!!!

[thedeadlyflow]

Really they get back into sampling like they use to hip hop would sound so much better if they did that, and got rid of the gimmicks.

[TheJADatsyuk]

Hova was on some other shit when he did this...Kanye's jaw probably dropped.

[derektheproducer]

The 3 people who disliked this must be Taylor Swift fans... Haha!

[ericmoris4life]

this is the SHIT!!! What cd is this on?? I want good quality of this!!!

[bugspray11]

whats the song of the dude singing the chorus

[hakaru1]

@bugspray11 its called the makings of you by curtis mayfield

[MrGordonFairchild]

Yo, what 3 idiots would dislike this track ???!!! They must be Republicans !!!!

[ak47523]

@MrGordonFairchild They don't vote...their too busy doing "young money" bullshit



[MrGeyo13]

so what is the name of the instrumental

[ksbhemlee]

@MrGeyo13 @bugspray11 it's "the makings of you- curtis mayfield

[MasterAmbassador]

This acapella would sound amazing over Craig Mack's Flava in Ya Ear instrumental.

[michiganhiphopBOI]

@MasterAmbassador i dont know how much i would agree.? the beat almost makes the song

[MasterAmbassador]

@michiganhiphopBOI No, I agree, this is one of the best beats ever made but I'm just saying, it would be a cool remix with the Flava in Ya Ear instrumental.

[Asgangsta12]

JAY..REAL HIP HOP NEEDS YOU BACK..YOU MURDERED THIS
