Rap-Up.com || New Music: Jay-Z f/ Blue Ivy Carter

New father Jay-Z welcomes his daughter into the world with a new record entitled “Glory.” “The most amazing feeling I feel, words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real/ Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you,” rhymes an overjoyed Jay on the sentimental song, which marks Blue Ivy Carter’s first feature.

Over the soulful Neptunes-produced beat, the proud papa reveals that his “child of Destiny” was conceived in Paris the day before Beyoncé shot her 4 album packaging and shares for the first time that his wife suffered a miscarriage.

“Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/ We was afraid you’d disappear/ But nah baby you magic,” he raps.

But it’s baby Blue herself who steals the show with her precious cries at the end. A star is born.

@The Diva, I wasn’t moved because it was their baby, but because of the fact that I could really feel his unconditional love for both his wife and his daughter. I thought that was beautiful, so I teared up a little… That’s what music does, you know. It made me think of how I would feel, the moment I get to see my child for the first time. It doesn’t hurt anybody.

It’s sad to see people hating on the birth of a child though. What is wrong with folks? And as for bringing up B’s miscarriage, do you really think Hov would have put that in there if she didn’t say it was ok? I mean, come on. He obviously would have played that song for B before putting it out. Fools.

A man had twins born & in ICU and he to wait 3 hours just to see them, now is that right? Celebs have babies all the time, but media attention was not like this…I’m just saying.
