1. New God Flow – Pusha T and Kanye West – This is, in effect, the follow up to "Runaway", and it is terrible. From sentiment to sound, this is one of the hip hop songs West has ever put his name to.  Generic beats, iffy sample. you've heard it before you've listened to it spund. Good Music doing smart ass business as usual. And as for refrain? "Come and have a good time with G.O.D." . Plus a shout out to Whitney Houston, which, maybe, they should have thought better of. Good music? Yeah, right.  Grade: C-
