Back in April, the Internet was abuzz and it had nothing to do with race relations in America, the NHL playoff picture or Mitt Romney’s promise to win the state of Pennsylvania in November.  No, the buzz was about the first single from Kanye West’ forthcoming G.O.O.D Music compilation album.  Mercy, produced by newly-signed in-house producer Lifted, finds Ringmaster Ye and his lablemate friends doing what they do best—stunting on the competition and taking no prisoners.  Trying to outdo one another (alongside their label boss) are Mr. Finally Famous Big Sean, whose creatively ignorant rhymes sound as fresh as always, Pusha T, who many will clamor gave the best performance, and recent label addition 2 Chainz.  There is no set release date for the label’s compilation album Cruel Summer, but The Island Def Jam Music Group has said the album is on their summer calender.

This song first appeared on the Top Hip Hop / R&B Chart on May 7, 2012

=s What the fvck happened with the beat in Kanye's part? That was like a pseudo-watch the throne/MBDTF moment that went horribly wrong - the transition didn't fit at all. This song was not that good already to be having moments like that.

G.O.O.D Music! Big Sean, Pusha T, And 2 Chainz Killed that shit! But Not really liking Kanye Wests Transition on the beat, maybe if it build up like the way it did, and then dropped back to the original beat, than I'd have no problem, But Overall still a Dope song.

From this

"Okay, Lamborghini Mercy. Your chick, she so thirsty!
I'm in that two seat Lambo with your girl, she tryna jerk me."

to this...

"Built a house on that ass, that's an ass-state!"

*a tear rolls down the eye*

Is just G.O.O.D. music from a hip-hop perspective. Finally a fresh track.

Not only does Kanye feature the artists on the track in the video (Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz) in true record label owner form - he takes the opportunity to sneak in cameos of his G.O.O.D Music label talent - Kid Cudi, CyHi the Prynce and Teyana Taylor.

The video is artistic and is delivered with slickness coated in swagoo.

There is no doubt from watching the first second of the video that "Mercy" is a Kanye West production - regardless of who directed the video. You'd be a damn fool to think that Kanye wouldn't have artistic sign off on everything he puts out to the world, be that music, film length videos ie. "Runaway," or his clothing line.

The camera work in "Mercy" is extremely impressive - it looks like it's been shot in one long pan.

Yeezy's label artists are dressed so freaking slick in this video. They are rocking skinny pants, meticulously draped headwear, high top kicks to die for with rich accessories, and a beautiful union of leather and fabric. The expressive fashion in the "Mercy" video is befitting of the lyrical braggadocio of the song.

Although "Mercy" doesn't give us a lot of action or visual effects (with the exception of the teleporting) as seen in Kanye's previous visual offerings such as "Church In The Wild" or the Hype Williams produced "Gold Digger" - it is no less appealing for it.

That's one of the many reasons why Kanye is such a fascinating artist - even his most minimalist productions are considered, impressive and thought provoking.

I wish that other hip hop artists of today would take note of Yeezy's approach to creating videos - exposed breasts and booty popping isn't exactly creatively ground breaking. Yawn.

The "Mercy" video is seamlessly slick and has Kanye's blueprint of genius and swagger on loop throughout. All the featured players Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz - along with Kid Cudi, CyHi the Prynce and Teyana Taylor all played their parts perfectly.

A united crew - for a united video production. I love it.

If "Mercy" is anything to go by - I cannot wait till Cruel Summer drops soon to see what the G.O.O.D Music artists can bring us under the brilliant minded Kanye West.
