Kanye West & Mos Def Freestyle @ Blue Note Jazz Club NYC

Yeezy and Mos make a surprise appearance to Lupe's show at the Blue Note Jazz Club. The two freestyle over some J Dilla instrumentals where they both address a bunch of issues.
"Shout out to Steve Stoute… you know what this shit ’bout
My whole family… now I’m scared of the Grammys
Cause everybody know that Dark Fantasy,
was the highest rated album in history, get me?
So I just avoid it, not to be exploited, not be recorded
Cause I cannot afford it, I cannot afford more shit and be in more debt" -
Kanye



Im pretty excited for the buzz this creates. #GOODmusic

DOWNLOAD: Kanye & Mos Def – Blue Note Jazz Club Freestyle


Peep the full lyrics after the jump.
Things ain't never the same
Funny how one moment your whole life can change
nananananan the same
It's like I want to spit something writtin', but keep forgettin'
So I guess it's from the heart from the start
Play my part
Seems like I wasn't just reaching the charts
5000 hours re-writing POWER
Over and over
Some nights sober
Some nights goin off the Henny as usual
So unusual to be in this position
Everything I say, everybody tryna diss em'
Everybody playin' him, truth be told
The last nigga that let the truth be told
And oh
Mos Def ran to my home
And said they gonn' have your ass gone
Like jokes
You keep playin' with them White folks
Can't even take the piss
They gonna test urine
And than take all the sponsorship for all the tourin'
So where the Dark Fantasy tour at Ye?
I dunno ask Henness-ay, ask Coca-Cola
Sayin' he ain't clean enough
But rappers ain't mean enough
Enough flashes like I ain't seen enough
On the real, this is like a neyo Emit Till
Whistlin', get your fuckin ass killed
Let's keep this shit real
Everybody feel this
Now everyday of my life
People try to tell me that I hate the Whites
Because I said what's right
I go to sleep and deal with it, every night
Wake up every mornin', and walk to the Liquor store
A Coffee store, a shop or a Groca, what's worser
There's no verse that will reverse the
Imprint or in cursive
That cursed the name
Or maybe call me Kayne
Let's have a toast for the Douchebags
And black people want to talk about me on blogs because I like clothes like look at this Fag
It's what I had to deal with, real shit
Ya'll don't even understand
What it take to be a real man
A Black man
Interested in Art, speakin' from the heart
And playin' my part
And all this Illuminati talk, like my first Hit single wasn't Jesus Walks
So many years, they said these are rhymes these are mother fuckin' tears
You playin' with Niggas careers
Felt like I'm the only real nigga here
From my last breath they kicked me out the awards and what nigga did he left
Than they even sent Beyonce up to give the award back
Didn't even know that I afford that
And she rode the wave
As I rode the slave
As I felt like a slave while they tried to put my shit up in the grave
Nigga behave, nigga behave
Did the first slave that work
I bet no one, else, would ever say nothin'
And stay frontin'
And get up and just perform
This shit is enormous
Shout out to Steve Stout
You know what this shits about
My whole family
Now I'm scared of the Grammy's
Cause you know the Dark Fantasy was the highest rated album in history
Get me?
So I just avoid it
Not to be exploited
Not to be recorded
Cause I can not afford it
I can't afford more shit that the award did
It's to real for these niggas
You feel for these niggas
How it feel to be a black man
Say somethin' wrong, nobody understand
Money, Power, Black, Opinion
Pick two or they'll kill you
