Saw a Samsung commercial for Magna Carta the other day. God it's good to see Rick Rubin's epic beard again!
We get to see him talk more in these "Magna Carta" promos than in all of Linkin Park's album-making documentaries (minus "Meteora") put together.
From the last little 30 second trailer Samsung has posted - it sounds like Hov and Timbaland are sampling Crystal Castles. And "Heaven" uses R.E.M.'s chorus to "Losing My Religion" as the hook for that song. Loving the production and beats, honestly, but the same way people feel about Kanye's lyrics, I feel about Jay. I have to ignore his voice sometimes to get to the good stuff on most of his albums. Sometimes he's good, but these days, more often than not, he's not that great, lyrically. In my mind, anyway. I still think if Hov should have just stuck to releasing it on the app and just letting it spread from there. Even though I think using an app is a dumb fucking idea, but I guess apps are out unfortunate future if we stay with tablets and smartphones.
Seems like it didn't get released. Samsung is revealing more lyrics, btw. Probably lyrics of Heaven, not Holy Grail. Also, Oceans features Frank Ocean. (Woooow, unpredictable ), and Future is on La Familia. Mike Will is also a producer on the album.
Especially for you, Agent O! [video=youtube;q9KQgtM6CZc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q9KQgtM6CZc[/video]
I really want to know which of these is the song at 1:20 in the original video. I was a bit disappointed that the app isn't actually previewing anything yet.
