On the back of Kanye West referring to himself as ‘Hitler’ over the weekend at a festival appearance, he’s stopped wanting to invade Poland for long enough to make a buncha tracks with Jay Z in a project called ‘Watch The Throne’.
Of course, Jay Z is an outrageous talent when on form, but alongside Kanye, there’s a strong chance that the combined egos could make for an incredibly self-satisfied release.
And the leak of a track from the forthcoming release suggests just that. ‘Lift Off’ has hit the web and features J-Hova’s singer wife Beyonce Knowles. And if you would like to hear it, then you need to click over the jump and press a button.
The album, which is out in the States today, features OFWGKTA’s Frank Ocean, late soul legend Otis Redding, Mr. Hudson, the also late Curtis Mayfield as well as Queen B.
Jay and Kanye will be touring the LP across North America, and presumably, if the album goes down well with the punters, they’ll bring the show to Europe.
However, initial tracks haven’t sounded great, compared to the high water mark of Jigga’s best work and indeed, the irritatingly good ‘Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ from West.
Anyway, you don’t care what we think. Here’s ‘Lift Off’. Have a listen and try and ignore that nagging voice that tells you that this sounds like an off-cut from Kanye’s last LP.

You’re right, it is unfair to Hitler as a young artist.
