Jay-Z's new album Magna Carta Holy Grail will feature a song that interpolates lines from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (Courtney Love revealed as much in an interview last week), but now anxious Jigga fans can get a preview of the track.
It's called "Holy Grail" and will feature Justin Timberlake. Jay-Z released the lyric sheet via the Samsung-sponsered app that will controversially give away the album for free before its physical release.
The track changes the lines "Here we are now, entertain us/ I feel stupid and contagious" to "and we're all just/ entertainers/ and we're stupid/ and contagious."
The song itself appears to be about the love/hate relationship between celebrities and fame and makes direct reference to Kurt Cobain's suicide before the interpolated hook.
"I know nobody to blame/ Kurt Cobain/ I did it to myself" the song says.
Check out the full lyrics below:
The track will be available via the Holy Grail app tomorrow. The album will be released in-app on July 4 while everyone else can get it three days later.
