The LOX is back. Rapping over an instrumental that samples a Kanye line from “New God Flow” and some dialogue from Spike Lee‘s Do the Right Thing, Yonkers’ veteran spitters easily remind us how they earned their status as some of hip-hop’s most respected emcees.They also reference The Hangover. Watch below. This is definitely one of the more engaging samples that we’ve heard in awhile. Props to Scram Jones.

Note: Jadakiss‘ laugh will never get old.

One third of Das Racist, Kool A.D., released a fierce freestyle over the hyped “New God Flow.” The track is called “Exotische Kunst” and is Dutch for “exotic art”— because we are on that deep research tip.

Kanye West and Pusha T trade boasts over a progressive boom-bap beat. Both emcees go in, and Ye spits one of his most passionate verses in a minute. Cruel Summer drops August 7th.

Now hold up, I ain’t tryin to stunt, man
But these Yeezy’s jumped over the Jumpman
Went from most hated to the champion god flow
I guess that’s a feeling only me and Lebron know
I’m living three dreams:
Biggie Smalls’, Dr. King’s, Rodney King’s
Cuz we can’t get along, no resolution
Till we drown all these haters, rest in peace to Whitney Houston
Cars, money, girls and the clothes
Aww man, you sold your soul
Naww man, mad people was frontin’
Aww man, made something from nothing
Picture working so hard, and you can’t cut through
That can mess up your whole life, like an uncle that touched you
What has the world come to, I’m from the 312
Where cops don’t come through and dreams don’t come true
Like there the god go in his Murcielago
Went from working McDonalds, barely paying the car note
Even got enough to get his mama a condo
Then they ran up and shot him right front of his mom
40 killings in a weekend, 40 killings in a week
Man the summer too hot you can feel it in the street
Welcome to Sunday service if you hope to someday serve us
I got green in my eyes, just follow my Erick Sermon
Did Moses not part the water with the cane?
Did strippers not make an ark when I made it rain?
Did Yeezy not get signed by Hov and Dame?
And ran to Jacob and made the new Jesus chains?
In Jesus name, let the choir say
“I’m on fire ay,” that’s what Richard Pryor say
And we annihilate anybody that violate
Ask any dope boy you know, they admire ‘Ye
