New Music*: Jay-Z feat. Chris Martin “Most Kingz” (off Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio 2K10 mixtape)

The homie Green Lantern just dropped his Invasion Radio 2K10 Mixtape over at LiveMixtapes, but he sent over this unearthed 2006 goodie for you guys (Thanks Green!), along with an interesting explanation….
New Version: Jay-Z feat. Chris Martin “Most Kingz” (off the Invasion Radio 2K10 mixtape)
Green says that this Jay-Z and Chris Martin (Coldplay) collabo was one of two that were recorded for Jay’s Kingdom Come album…but the other “Beach Chair” was the only one used…Hov’s verse ended up on the Funkmaster Flex show, as well as Coldplay’s “Lost (remix)” but as a song, this bounced around, in search of a beat to everyone from….
read the rest of Green’s explanation, after the jump
Green says:
“This is my version working with the acapella…I’ve had this since 2006 and it was supposed to be on the Presidential Invasion mixtape–that never came out. Then Hov rapped these lyrics over his HP commercial drums, and the acapella went to a few different producers in search of a beat for it. I heard a Timbaland version and I think Just Blaze and a few others had it too. But by the time they made “Beach Chair,” I think Jay was over trying to find a beat for “Most Kingz.” Then he went to Flex show and the rest is history…”

no, No, and NO! I was introduced to you by the link you provided in 2006 when Jay did this freestyle w/ Flex…the “Grammy Family” beat was perfect for it…gotta pass on this one.

Gotta pass on this one / should of left these lyrics alone — you two are idiots. I can’t stand when people don’t understand the rarity of a song. Green you are the man for this one. I always knew there had to be a real song. The lyrics on the Flex Freestyle/Corporate Takeover/Lost Remix just sounded like he had so much more on his mind for where he wanted to go with that song. From a real Jay-Z head, I want to say thanks. The mixing/production is incredible – I’d say the best I’ve ever heard from a DJ. But Jay always says you aren’t a DJ anymore!

I produced the original version which was so crazy that it inspired jay to write such dope lyrics. It was late so it didn’t make the Kingdom come album. It’s not true that he was looking for a beat for it. I’m sure you’ll hear the original soon! he freestyled it right before kingdom come came out. chris martin just recorded his hook days before that so that doesn’t make sense. so there u have it…
