Jay-Z - Glory
Artist: Jay-Z
Featuring: Pharrell Williams
Producer: Pharrell Williams
Album: Unreleased
Label: Roc Nation/Universal Music Group
Many men sire children, but not every man takes the time to stand up and show adoration for that child like Jay-Z has just done with his new release Glory, produced by close friend and long-time collaborator Pharrell Williams. Hov takes the time to revel in his joy over the recent birth of he and Beyonce’s first child, daughter Blue Ivy Carter, who is also featured on the track crying and eliciting memories from any parent that was able to witness the birth of their child. Jay reveals in Glory that he prayed for a healthy child following Beyonce’s miscarriage on the couple’s previous pregnancy. Jay is undoubtedly in love with his real gem, a love that transforms the one-time hustler to a man anxious to bestow family history and knowledge upon B.I.C. while giving fatherly encouragement. The birth of any child is a truly joyous event, and any man that is willing to show his sensitive side and put his “hustler” card on the table for a few minutes of love-laced rhymes is something worth embracing instead of lampooning. All respect due to Jay-Z and we wish his family all the glory and happiness in the world.

 Leave it up to Jay, a daddy for the first time, to pull out all the stops - great baby name, amazing musical dedication.

I heard this earlier today and I thought it was going to be cheesy at first. This was far from it. This has a sick beat and Jay is lyrically at his best. This is a BANGER for sure.

okay i know a lot of people gonna say a1 star is he crazy? is he insane? why is he hating? well let me tell you dont jay z have a son? as i remember he fathered a son from a young lady that was featured in big pimpin video (or was that a rumor) no im pretty sure its not. so why would he decieve us by creating a track about his daughter as if this is his first born and not give any notice to his son? track wise its a banger but morally just simply f@#$ up. (just my opinion)

The raw emotion and creativity that was put into this song makes it a classic. A father showing love for his wife and child is priceless but more especially in this era where people are divorcing and hating each other at record rates. Jay, B, and B.I.C., I salute the family three. Peace.
