Jay-Z's hype-building machine has gone into overload, after releasing an edited version of the song lyrics to track 'Holy Grail'. See the lyric sheet below.
'Holy Grail' will be number 14 on Jay-Z's new album, Magna Carter Holy Grail and features vocals from Justin Timberlake and lyrics from Nirvana's classic single 'Smells like Teen Spirit'.
Speaking to the Huffington Post earlier this month, Coabain's widow Courtney Love confirmed that she’d granted permission but said said she thought her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, might take issue with it.
“I’m letting Jay-Z use lyrics - Frances would freak [if she knew about it]," said Love. "Jay-Z’s huge and we’re friends. I mean we’re not besties or anything..."
Jay-Z has been making headlines recently with his one million album deal with Samsung, to provide Samsung phone users free copies of his new album three days before the release. However, due to the nature of the deal, as the customer isn't buying anything, the album will not chart in the US or UK but will be made platinum.
Check out the lyrics for 'Holy Grail' below:
Magna Carter Holy Grail will be avaliable to Samsung users on July 4 and the rest of the world on 7 July, 2013.
The alleged tracklisting is:
1. Picasso Baby
2. Heaven
3. Versus
4. Tom Ford
5.Beach Is Better
6. FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt
7. Oceans
8. F.U.T.W.
9. Part II (On the Run)
10. BBC
11. La Familia
12. Jay-Z Blue
