So Beyonce finally had the baby and named her Blue Ivy. So, Daddy (Jay-Z) releases a song about it. Despite all the hate I have for all the self-promotion I do like the song for how heartfelt it is. If I was a world-renowned artist, like Jay-Z clearly is, I'm sure this is the sort of song I would write and sing. However, this is not the sort of song I would write, sing and then release... and especially not as a "featuring Blue Ivy Carter." Claiming this as your daughters debut is one of the most gimmicky things they could have done. Anyway, the song aint too bad.
Telegraph: "Despite the odd cringeworthy couplet (“the most beautifulist thing in the world / Is daddy’s little girl”) Glory is an unusually grounded paean to a new born, counter balancing the innate sentimentality of such parental classics as Stevie Wonder’s Isn’t She Lovely and John Lennon’s Beautiful Boy with the gritty drama expected of hip hop."
