Kanye West Vents On Kim Kardashian and More: “Theraflu” Feat. DJ Khaled and DJ Pharris
Posted by Miss Info under Good For Hip Hop , New Music , Things I Love[36] Comments
OMG. I was just talking to DJ Khaled today at the MTV2 Hip Hop Squares shoot about this damn song! And suddenly it pops up via the big homie Funk Flex! We knew Kanye was itching itching itching to get this out before he drops that GOOD Music “Mercy” single on Friday…but it was supposed to come out this past Friday. Better late than never. And the song is whoa….Kanye got some shit off his chest! By the way…from what I understand, this is actually a Kanye West single off his own solo album (which will follow the GOOD Music compilation). UPDATE: Dirty/No Tags is now added to the stream, plus the official artwork (after the jump).
New Music: Kanye West Feat. DJ Khaled & DJ Pharris – “Theraflu” (prod. by Hit-Boy) (Dirty/No Tags)
wow. Let’s start dissecting these lyrics….
“And the whole industry wanna f–k your old G. Only n—a I got respect for is Wiz. And I’ll admit I fell in love with Kim ’round the same time she fell in love with him. Well that’s cool, Babygirl, do your thing. Lucky I didn’t get Jay to drop him from the team.“
Mikey: I love every f*ckin thing about this record. It’s gives me the same feeling I felt when I heard his verse of Weezy’s “Lollipop (Remix).” It’s like where Ye vents on his personal problems but makes you want to sing them out loud. Incredible. Sh*t, I even love the Ma$e reference on here, I used to bump “Lookin At Me” a lot back in the day.
And here’s where my age shows… LL Cool J actually spit it first on “Illegal Search.”
What the hell are you lookin’ for?
Can’t a young man make money anymore?
Wear my jewels and, like, freak it on the floor
Watch Ma$e’s video after the jump and read lyrics from his version…
Full lyrics transcription…
And If you’re a little fuzzy about Kanye’s Amber and Kim Kardashian references…
More after the jump
Now what the hell is you lookin’ for?
Can’t a young man get money anymore?
Let my pants sag down to the floor
Really do it matter as long as I score?
Can’t my car look better than yours?
Can I have a bad ***** without no flaws
Come to see me without no drawers
(this is a more recent pic of Kanye and Kim Kardashian at his Paris 2012 show. But they did date during the tail end of her Reggie Bush era. Pre-Kris Humphries bamboozle.)
(all bamboozle. Kris plays for the NJ Nets..which Jay-Z owns a percentage of. Hence the lyric, lol)
UPDATE: Mr. North found this lyrical transcription over at the AndyHutchins tumblr. Props to Andy! Especially for caring about being accurate with the amazing DJ Pharris Chicago roll call at the end…if you guys out there feel there are any edits needed, let us know in the comments.
Dinner with Anna Wintour (Whoa!), racin’ wit’ Anja Rubik (Whoa!)
I told you ma’fuckers it was more than the music
In the projects one day to Project Runway
We done heard all that loud-ass talkin’, we used to it
I’m from where shorties fucked up, double-cupped up
Might even kill somebody and YouTube it
So whoever think they words affect me is too stupid
And if you could do it better than me, then you do it
We flyer than the parakeet, floatin’ wit’ no parachute
Six thousand-dollar pair of shoes, we made it to the Paris news!
Don’t talk about style, ‘cause I embarrass you
Shut the fuck up when you talk to me, for I embarrassed you
Can’t a young nigga get money anymore? (Ahh!)
Tell PETA my mink is draggin’ on the floor (Ahh!)
Can I have a bad bitch wit’out no flaws
Come to meet me wit’out no drawers?
And the whole industry wanna fuck yo’ old chick
Only nigga I got respect for is Wiz
And I’ll admit, I fell in love with Kim (Hunh?)
‘Round the same time she had fell in love wit’ him (Whuh)
Well, that’s cool, baby girl, do ya thing
Lucky I ain’t have Jay drop ‘im from the team (Whuh)
La familia (La familia), Roc Nation (Roc Nation)
We in the buildin’, but still keep it basement (Whoa)
We flyer than the parakeet, floatin’ wit’ no parachute
Six thousand-dollar pair of shoes, I made it to the Paris news!
Don’t talk about style, ‘cause I embarrass you
Shut the fuck up when you talk to me, for I embarrassed you
G.O.O.D. Music, and fresh, we fresh
Anything else, we detest, detest
Bitch-ass niggas got ass and breasts
All that said, lemme ask this quest’
Can’t a young nigga get money anymore? (Ahh!)
Tell PETA my mink is draggin’ on the floor (Ahh!)
Can I have a bad bitch wit’out no flaws
Come to meet me wit’out…
Don’t talk to me ‘bout style, nigga, I’ll ma’fuckin’ embarrass you
Talkin’ ‘bout clothes, I’ll ma’fuckin’ embarrass you
Hollin’ ‘bout some hoes, I’ll ma’fuckin’ embarrass you
Way too cold, I promise you’ll need some Theraflu
(DJ Pharris)

If Kris Humphries makes it to Brooklyn and not get booed it will be a Disney Miracle.

Kanye went in and brought back Mase!
April 4th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
But for the next 9 months or so whenever he’s in the club or listening to the radio and this joint comes on he looses….
April 4th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
Yeezy has become a living legend and he’s right on the cusp of the golden era and where hip-hop fell off. The drop out dropped like 2003-2004.
April 4th, 2012 at 11:32 pm
because kanye is generous as hell with giving ppl album credits
April 4th, 2012 at 11:37 pm
kanye’s a big mase fan. he said a while ago that he digs mase’s delivery.
April 5th, 2012 at 12:27 am
but the song isn’t that good on its own though, right? id rather it not be on his album.
April 5th, 2012 at 12:29 am
Word!
April 5th, 2012 at 1:59 am
Wrd I would prefer he not put this on the album, this sound like sound street type single, it could be a extra bonus.

I like how Kanye is wearing a Mavs cap, repping his brother Lamar Odom. Hahahah yo fuck this song, let’s get back to the art, not the controversy Kanye. This is how the nigga makes sales, being ratchet and having everyone listen. Not like you will read or hear me. (see: Can’t Tell Me Nothin’)
April 5th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Wouldn’t that make Ye a hater though?
– He falls in love with a chick.
– Chick doesn’t love him back. She falls in love with another dude.
– Ye, feeling butt hurt, gets dude fired from his job.
I’m just sayin’.
April 5th, 2012 at 4:06 pm
hater? no. bitch-ass nigga, yes! lol.
dudes need real men to show them how to carry themselves now more than ever. he’s smitten w/ america’s top hooker, she doesn’t reciprocate, he’s hurt, and some idiots actually think he’s the MAN for this garbage track? wow…
April 5th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
i believe he would be guilty of hatin!!! why is Kris the bad guy in this whole situation i will never understand. well Kanye is definitely the guy she needs that will go along with the bit of the sham of another wedding and another spin off show!!!
i do like the song a lil tho!!!
April 5th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
Stfu when you talking to him!
April 5th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
This is a hot record but this better not be a single from ye’s solo record the beat is not a kanye west caliber beat.
April 5th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
this soundz like im goin in from wayne miss info….pass it on…
October 11th, 2012 at 5:54 am
Sheesh, I’m in CAPE TOWN (Wild Hunnids… bla bla)
