Verse of the Day: Kanye West "Start It Up"

You may have noticed #DRAKEWEEK came and went. You may not have noticed. HA! Either way, it's over, but that might be because there is a very pleasant surprise in KWT's future. Gosh we're so cool.


Now, Yeezy grabs the coveted (HA times 2) Verse of the Day slot. It's all after the jump, I swear.



We keep these G’s in an alloy safe
and stash the weed in an altoids case
they say good things come to those who wait
so I’m gon be at least an hour late
I’m so fresh I should be arrested
new Tody Chester with my nuts on your chest b-tch
she said “hey ‘Ye”
I said “Yes B-tch”
damn I’m only asking you a question
I met this milf at the allstar getting action
a cougar with more rings than Phil Jackson
told her beauty is why God invented eyeballs
and her booty is why God invented my balls
I’m a rockstar, huh, start it up
start it up, huh, start it up
so popular you should get a shot of us
don’t take shots at us that is only obvious
the first album I vomited, the second I colonic’d it
aint nobody f-cking with me, I plutonic’d it
bet I got some slippers on, bet go honour it
these aint even real clothes homie I’m pyjama rich
Banks told me homie go switch the style up
these b-tches on me homie only to arouse us
told her I aint paying tonite I’m only browsing
she pulled her blouse up, said “it’s free”, I said WOWZER!



Daaaamn this is tough. Yeezy called Banks a top 5 lyricist all-time, and then they all G.O.O.D Friday shimmy-shaked their way onto a track. Somebody wrote somewhere (how specific, good sir) that Kanye stopped trying to write songs and tried to become a punchline rapper, and that's why he's shit now. Other than that being the stupidest fucking statement I've ever heard (did you listen to MBDTF or WTT??) Kanye doesn't try to have punchlines. He has punchlines. See above. Absolute fire. This is the type of rap that makes you understand how Yeezy could have coached Pusha into making his "Runaway" verse more "douchebag". To top it off, vocally the performance is fantastic. Great flow, great inflections. WOWZER!
