New Jay-Z: Dear Summer
jamie on May 11th, 2005
Appearing on Memphis Bleak’s upcoming release 534 (May 17), Jay-Z takes the entire track, basically to pump up sales of the album, which is Bleak’s 4th (and predicted to be his 4th failure). At the end of the track, he pleads with us to “please show the same love to my friends”. Anyways, the track’s good, not the typical summer dance-ya-ass-off fare that we’ve come to expect from him, but what the hell- he’s retired, right? The song starts simply with some fingersnaps and street noise, then breaks into a smooth, soulful beat tuned to match a lazy summer evening cruising with the top down. Oh, and he’s “got a brand new bitch corporate america…” who’s showing him a lot of action. It’s good to be Jay-Z.
