Estelle feat. Kanye – “American Boy”

Ok, I lied. Estelle has been around for a minute, but i needed an excuse to post her latest banger. Plus, only few people outside of the U.K. are familiar with her music. She’s signed to John Legend’s Homeschool Recordings in a joint venture with Atlantic. Her second CD, Shine, drops in February.

    If she gains some success she could help UK hip hop become more popular. not all our music is great but there are a few talented mcs over here.

    Kanye’s Lyrics:

    This another one champion sound
    Yeah Estelle we about to get down
    Who the hottest in the world right now
    Just touched down in London town
    Bet they give me a pound
    Tell em put the money in my hand right now
    Better promoter, we need more seats
    We just sold out all the floor seats

    ..

    Who killin’ them in the UK
    Everybody gonna say you K
    Reluctantly cuz most of these press don’t f*ck with me
    Estelle ones said tell me cool down down
    Don’t act a fool now now
    Always act a fool au au
    Ain’t nothing new now now
    He crazy I know what you thinkin’
    Rappin’ I know what you drinkin’
    Rapsinger chainblinger
    Holla at the next chick soon as ya blinkin’
    What’s your passiona
    About this Americana
    Drama am I shallow
    Cuz all my clothes designer
    Dress smart like a London bloke
    Before he speak his suit be spoke
    And you thought he was cute before
    Look at this peacoat tellin’ me he’s broke
    And I know you ain’t in all that
    I heared your lyrics, I feel your spirit
    But I still talk that c-c-cash
    Cuz a lot of wags wanna hear it
    And I’m feelin like Mike at his baddest
    Like the pimps and the gladys
    And I now they love it
    So to hell with all that rubbish
