Jay-Z – Run This Town (feat. Kanye West & Rhianna)

If you are anywhere near the internets today, you know Jay was going to release his first “official” single to the Blueprint 3 today. Rather than going with Drake on his first single, he went with established Def Jam artists – Rhianna & Kanye. I’ve listened to the track now about 10 times.  My first day opinion: Its a little underwhelming. Rhianna is def not needed on the track and sounds like a cat getting raped at the end. Kanye goes in and I might even say outdoes Jay on his own track.  First, Eminem and now Kanye. Jay has some good lines but it just doesn’t feel as energetic as he did on Brooklyn Go Hard or even DOA.  That’s just me.  Let me know what you think. Thanks Ricky for the early wake-up email this morning.
