Kanye West reales "Real Friends" feat. Ty Dolla $ign
Kanye West releases new song Real Friends feat. Ty Dolla $ign. This came after his wife Kim Kardashian took to twitter last night. We are happy to hear this beautiful body of work. He takes a soulful route this time opening up about his past relationships, family and even speaking on his son Saint West. If Ye starts dropping music every Friday could it be the return of G.O.O.D Fridays? We most certainly hope so!
Real friends, how many of us?
How many of us, how many jealous? Real friends
It's not many of us, we smile at each other
But how many honest? Trust issues
Switched up the number, I can't be bothered
I cannot blame you for havin' an angle
I ain't got no issues, I'm just doin' my thing
Hope you're doin' your thing too
I'm a deadbeat cousin, I hate family reunions
Fuck the church up, I'm drinkin' at the communion
Spillin' free wine, now my tux is ruined
In town for a day, what the fuck we doin'?
Who your real friends? We all came from the bottom
I'm always blamin' you, but what's sad, you're not the problem
Damn I forgot to call her, shit I thought it was Thursday
Why you wait a week to call my phone in the first place?
When was the last time I remembered a birthday?
When was the last time I wasn't in a hurry?

[Video] Common Talks Chance The Rapper with Vibe
The vast majority may associate Kanye West with the top rapper to come from the Windy City, but to real hip-hop fans, there's few artists above Common in terms of Chicago rap legends. The soulful, poetic artist laid the groundwork for an entire generation of artists from his hometown to pursue different sounds and aesthetics within their records. As Chance The Rapper has ascended to hip-hop royalty over the past year, we have heard little from the upper-echelon of Chicago hip-hop on the young artist responsible for Acid Rap. Twista hopped on the project, spitting a verse on "Cocoa Butter Kisses" and Lupe shouted him out at the end of a recent song, but nothing has been heard from Yeezy, and very little from Common on Chano until today, when Common sat down with Vibe to discuss Chicago's newest star.
Common remarks at Chance's ability to have as much fun as he wants with his music, citing his varying vocal patterns, rhyme schemes and voices that make up the sort of R&B/Hip-hop aesthetic that has become Chance's calling card as of late. The Chicago legend also expresses his belief that Chance has a very bright future ahead of him. That's verification. Check out the full interview, streaming below.

Big Sean: "Control" (feat. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica)
Shortly after Big Sean released this bonus cut from his upcoming Hall of Fame album, my Twitter timeline started blowing up with tweets regarding Kendrick Lamar's feature on said track. I found this a bit-odd seeing as the ever-elusive Jay Electronica was also on the bill and, although Kendrick is arguably the best emcee doing it right now, I thought Jay Elec being there would take the spotlight away from the L.A. native. One listen to Kendrick's verse on the No I.D.-produced, "Control", and I could hear what all the buzz was about. K. Dot went ahead, lyrically murked his competition and even name-dropped a handful of heavy-hitters in the industry. Listen below and let us know in the c-section who do you think will come at Kendrick Lamar the hardest, if anyone?
