Kanye West: "So Appalled" f. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi da Prynce

Anyone else kind of impressed just by the fact that Kanye West has kept this whole G.O.O.D. Friday thing going? I mean, as a hip-hop fan, I've seen so many acts promise things of this nature only to have them fall through. To be fair, it's not as if everything he's leaked so far has been gold and/or album material. And it's probably likely that he and his slew of guests have just thrown these tracks together on the side while crafting their respective proper releases. But hey, who are we to complain about receiving consistently delivered free music?

This week, Yeezy has again linked up with his music buddies. Similar to posse cut "Monster," he is joined on "So Appalled"* by a slew of cats: Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz (ugh), RZA, and Cyhi da Prynce. It makes for yet another near-epic filled with some choice quotables, especially during Jigga and Pusha's verses, and slightly blunted, gloomy production. And thankfully Swizz doesn't do much other than the intro and outro sections of the track. Unfortunately, RZA, who sounds great on this beat, finds his contribution kept to a minimum, too, though Cyhi going off in his verse kind of makes up for that.

*If that name sounds familiar, you probably heard this leak last fall.
