Kanye West feat. DJ Khaled: Thera Flu

By Odeisel

Been a minute since we heard from Yeezy away from the rather average Throne stuff. Nobody does bombast like Donda’s baby boy and this new heat sends a strong message that while the Throne may be shared, there is only one dude when it comes  to the headlines and that’s Kanye to the.

Cool J’s DNA is all over this one, from the you-negroes-is-beneath-me swagger, to the heavy lifting Ye does from “Illegal Search.” That said, he adds his own Chicago flavor, complete with hood shout outs that almost ring genuine until you remember who he is and how his momma raised him. This song is brash, bold brazen and a bunch of other b words, all of which are designed to make you sit up and take notice. Swag King Cole

He mentions Amber Rose, the used to be, and Kim Karsashian, the used to beat; getting in front of the whispers (and gossip mag noise). Gives Wiz a lil dap for taming the savage beast and throws a bit of shade on Fab and possibly J.Cole the other cats who sloppy seconded.

The track is similar to “Beamer Benz or Bentley” but lighter and not as bass heavy. It’s loud and conveys good energy but I’d probably take the original in a pinch. Hell, I’ll salute Kanye for relegating DJ Khaled to only one obnoxious rant on the record. Shit is dope man. It’s the beginning of another G.O.O.D. Friday run for the best rap artist (not emcee or rapper) on the planet. Welcome back Mr. West. To the same old place that we laughed about. “Thera Flu.” Enjoy.
