    New Song: Jay-Z – ‘Glory (Ft. Blue Ivy Carter)’

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Jay-Z

    Jay-Z and Beyonce welcomed their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, into the world barely 36 hours ago and they have already launched the child’s entertainment career. In fact, Jay-Z has released a tune entitled ‘Glory’ to celebrate the baby’s arrival that includes vocal contributions from Blue Ivy herself.

    Listen to ‘Glory’ below and decide whether it is a beautiful dedication to new life or yet another example of incredible opportunism:

     ’Glory’ could either be perceived as a brilliant way to introduce his child to the world or a sign that Jay-Z already has plans to capitalise on Blue Ivy as another venture to make money. That is for you to decide but remember, this is the man who released a line of clothing in an effort to make money from the Occupy Wall Street debacle.

      Oh shut the fuck up. He is not Mariah Carey. I doubt Beyonce and Jay are going to go present their child during an interview then make a website with full of pictures.

      He is an artist and obviously he is going to make a song about the happiest moment in his life. Almost every artist has made a song about their newborn children.

    • JR

      You are pitiful

    • http://www.RonaldMatters.com RONALDMATTERS.COM

      I’m gone need Miss Ivy gone have to cry louder than that. Imma need her vocal range to be fully prepared for the career society has already chosen for her.

    • http://www.RomeosCorner.net Romeo

      Really Bloom? Just shut up lol Anyways, everybody knows that the Carters are extremely money Hungry!

      Don’t be surprised if ‘Elements of Birth: Blue Ivy Carter’ is released in the near future! It’s all about making money and having their family become more of a business! This child will be used to make more money, let’s be serious!

    • Tia

      Wow Trent, can’t the man show his happiness about his new daughter.Now if it shows up on itunes you might have a point

    • support good music not trash party

      this is CUTTTTEEEE!!!!

    • Trav

      I usually agree with you but this time I disagree. Their are countless musicians that we know of and don’t know of who make songs that they dedicate to their children or talk about their kids.

      I think it was simply a nice gesture from a father wanting to share something with the world. Plus, I’m sure Jay Z has PLENTY of money that he wouldn’t have to “capitalize” off the birth of his daughter.

    • Pia

      jesus trent, be happy for the guy. his wife has just given birth and hes showing the world how happy he is, stop being so god damn bitter.

    • MuzikJunkie!

      Trent now yoy went a little too far just stop it! But anyway the song is really beautiful!

    • MuzikJunkie!

      Trent now you went a little too far just stop it! But anyway the song is really beautiful!

    • Meme

      “The Carters are extremely money hungry” -_-. Yeah I totally agree, that’s why they sold their wedding pictures to the highest bidder. That’s also why they announced their pregnancy with a magazine cover. Oh please! Why can’t you people let this man be happy and make a song dedicated to his newborn child. The fact that she is crying on the end of Glory alludes that he wants her to be an entertainer? I can’t with this article.

    • AHEM!

      Trent, please. This is too far. The man is happy. Why would he reveal the fact that they suffered a miscarriage just to ‘capitalize’. They are stinkin’ rich. THIS IS A BEAUTIFL GESTURE. Go take a few happy pills and let them be. Obvs the name is like WTF but each to their own.

    • DB

      I agree..for once.

    • Eloquent

      Wow! This is a bit childish Trent..a man is speaking about finally being a father and the happiness that he and his wife are experiencing right now. Sorry if the world wasn’t holding its breath awaiting the arrival of Mariah’s twins but that doesn’t mean you should poke fun at baby Blue smh

      I’m not upset by the post just disappointed in your judgment. You say you’re not bias but c’mon son, do you seriously believe that to be true?

    • Americanboi

      The man is clearly happy Trent. God, your turning into Sandra Rose.

    • Ni

      That gif of Ms Jay is killing me each time the beat hits his eyes gets bigger and bigger. Trent… no words.. but I will say I hope this is not for profit but because he is bless with a new life. I’m curious did he make a song for his son… ooops.

    • http://iMallyUK.tumblr.com Malachi

      I thought this was cute!!

    • DOMOdotSCORE

      Well, Game actually did something similar on “California Dream” (R.E.D. album) so I don’t see anything wrong with Jay doing it. I would say that this is showing happiness and not capitalizing.

    • Bloom

      The Carters are so money hungry which is why they went through the extremes to make sure Beyonce’s delivery date was under wraps and that no paparazzi would see them entering the hospital. Oh how money hungy.

    • Nono

      I usually agree with you Trent, and I am by no means a Beyonce/Jay stan, but this is some tabloid that grape juice shit. You clearly wrote this for the reactions and hits from Beyonce stans.

      The man is clearly just happy and proud to have this daughter – particularly with him rapping about his parents dying before seeing her and Beyonce having a miscarriage the first time she was pregnant. It’s emotional, and this response to it is pathetic.

    • Ms. Boss

      @Nono but if you “usually agree with Trent” then how come you never commented before?

      I agree with this. Trent didn’t choose sides. He just shored both & you people are MAD

    • whnotaskwhy1980

      Maybe I’m a sap, but this is endearing. A father loving his daughter is what millions of little girls wish for and or count as one of the biggest blessings in their lives.

    • Team Knoc

      Trent that was a low blow. Please stop looking for a reaction.

      I think Jay is at a point now where he’s so happy with his life that he can’t help but to want to share his feelings. And Beyonce’s been on a happy high this entire year, this baby is such a blessing. And they’re spilling to the first tabloid who pay’s up. Expressing it through art is such a great way of sharing it with the fans.

    • Ugh

      I don’t get why he doesn’t acknowledge his first born. Yeah the little boy that lives in Trinidad. We didn’t forget about Jay-Z

    • Ugh

      *we didn’t forget

    • TheMan4u

      leaving it to a lamb to hate because no one cared about dem babies, no one offered money for there first pics but they did try and they have been using dem babies every since to gain some attention, so bitter because beyonce’s kid is getting all this attention

    • whnotaskwhy1980

      On the other hand, you can never start too early on grooming the next big super star. Powder Blue is practicing her vocals now. They are a show business family! Two sides to a coin. I see it, but it’s their baby and the public is SALIVATING for the infant like wild wolves.

    • Julien

      I wonder why he never acknowledges his son. Poor kid.

    • kris

      Beyonce revealed her pregnancy at the MTV awards, spoke about it in every interview, jayz made this song and they are doing a mtv special about the child. Girrrrll….this baby is just another product to them

    • Simone

      I’m not even a fan of that thief beyonce, but trnt this was uncalled for and mean

    • Carter Houston

      I understand that you have your own viewpoint and opinion, but come on. This song is clearly coming from an emotional place. This man is happy about the birth of his daughter. If you follow Jay-Z at all then you know that he constantly uses his music as an outlet to tell his story. This song is no different. Also, numerous other artists have done the same, so why should Jay come under fire for it? Again, you have your right to an opinion, but at least let this family just be happy about their new arrival however they want to be. No need to question anyone motives behind anything.

    • HBFLY

      waiiiiiiiiiiiit why are people attacking Mariah’s babies? You people are such hypocritesssssssssss!!

      Mariah’s website is completely dedicated to charity and NOT her personal gain. When was the last time Beyonce did anything for charity? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

    • Big O

      I don’t Trent meant any harm. He just showed the possible reasoning behind the track. People, it’s not that serious.

    • Simone

      how are they gonna bebefit, is jay releasing a new album? NO
      Is the song on itunes? NO, so how the hell are they gonna profit? Wasn’t Eminem’s daughter on his song ‘my dad’s gone crazy’, I guess he was launching his career too right?. This is the man first let him share his joy and be happy, this is what hip hop music telling a story and this is exactly what this song is doing.

    • Simone

      ‘benefit’

    • plain & simple

      Trent why did you use that picture? It’s looks horrible.

    • Ariana

      I’m not defending anyone but Trent clearly stated that it was for YOU to decide whether this was actually a good idea or mere mercantilism/opportunism.

      I think it’s cute & unique.
      I don’t see anything wrong with Jay-Z showing off her little girl’s “vocals” :)

    • Destined

      #OTIS

    • shammyoko

      If you don’t have kids of your own you shouldn’t speak on how someone should or shouldn’t act after experiencing the birth of their first child. The only opportunist I see here is you tbh

    • AJ

      Maybe this post is opportunistic to get hits to your little site. Bloggers should have open, honest opinions but yours reflect the lowest form of ethics–Sandra Rose would be proud of you! You changed the look of your site, but not the sad, pathetic whoring for hits (negative Beyonce and Jay-Z posts). We were all hoping 2012 would be a positive turnaround for you. Still waiting…

    • Ms. Boss

      What’s so funny about this is that Trent didn’t diss Jay-Z. He asked for YOU THE READER to decide if Jay was being a git. The stans use every opportunity to attack Trent

    • Shea Butter

      Hmmmmmm,

      You girls seem really pressed. I re-read Trents entry a few times and I have to say beyond a little shade that was thrown Trent was pretty real about it. I mean releasing a song hours after your children is born would lead many to ask the same question that Trent posed. Hell I thought the same thing just from reading the title New Song: Jay-Z – ‘Glory (Ft. Blue Ivy Carter)’….. Anyway if your a stan, please be able to take someone asking questions or even shading your fav every now and again.

    • R

      Personally I don’t see anything wrong with it. I liked the song it was cute, I don’t see why people are mad about the article because it was clearly neutral. You brought up a good debate and people are getting personal for no reason. Clearly not everyone is mature enough to discuss both sides of a topic because I can see how some would see this as opportunistic.

    • scooby snackw

      Good lawd stans. I AGREE with Trent. This is exploitation to the nth degree.and I rake issue with the fact they kept other parents from seeing their babies when they blocked off or bought off the entire floor

    • http://q Rolex

      Oh please trent, this is heart breaking to read, he’s become a father after a long time, your like sandra rose, sorry mariah milked out her pregnency, as soon as she peed on the stick she announced her pregnancy, releaved she had several miscarriages, revealed she has been taking injections, she covered that magazine with this horrid pictures, interview with barbra waLters and did a website. SO STFU BIATCH!!!

      @Rolex exactly, why didnt we get a post about is mariah milking her babies to regain some exposure?

    • SHITPOST

      Are you mad that Nick Cannon could never produce a great heartfelt song like this about your fave’s kids being born? Or are you mad that Mariah’s twins or pregnancy didn’t get half the attention Blue Ivy got. It’s understood that your life revolves around Mariah Carey, but this post was written in vain and I will no longer support this site by giving it hits. Gooodbye

    • goser

      i think we have become a very cynical world and we are very cynical towards those that are wealthy. we critique everything they do and we see ulterior motives behind every action. sometimes we need to put ourselves in their shoes how would an artist express his great joy at the birth of his daughter???

    • Bri

      While it is true that Trent left it up to the readers to decide, he did advise the readers to keep in mind of Jay’s OWS blunder. That was sheer persuasive technique. I don’t know about anyone else, but to me this implies that Trent either is trying to persuade the reader that Jay is opportunistic or that he, himself, really thinks that Jay is opportunistic due to Jay’s history of poor judgement.
      He could have left the OWS situation out of it. Or he could’ve left the opportunistic aspect out of the entire post because it’s absolutely unnecessary. But can a genuinely nice, shade-free Beyoncé-related post ever exist on this site? Nope.
      This post comes from a place of pure cynicism and ugliness.

    • Dre

      I don’t know why everybody is attacking Trent. He showed both sides & asked people to choose. Calm down people

    • BetteDavisEyes

      Trent didn’t do anything wrong…maybe I’m crazy but I don’t see it

    • cliff

      great song !!

    • Jalen

      That GIF!!!!!!

    • Bee

      It’s sad that some people stans feel the need to attack Mariah Carey and her family (even her babies for God’s sake) in a post specifically about Beyonce. No where did that post mention anything about Mariah. Also, if you’re going to try to insult somebody at least make the effort the gather all the facts as opposed to making a bunch of ignorant claims. Stop it. It’s pathetic and embarrassing.

    • Juewelz03

      I think this song is beautiful and shows real emotion in Jay not that Niggas in Paris BS

    • flossing

      I agree that Jay-Z was being opportunistic. 36 hours after the baby is born & he drops a song???? Nigga….

    • MuzikJunkie!

      Yall don’t say that when you have other celebrities in magazines showing off their pregnant stomach or showing off their babies so STFU!

    • whatever

      I seriously doubt he is trying to capitalize of his child, common now…he is elated about his new baby…SMH He his overwhelmed with joy, I see nothing wrong…people sit down…sigh

    • Phil

      I agree that this is gross. Anything to get attention

    • mimii

      However I will post again what I said before cause I want to put in my 2 cents on this post:

      Obviously Trent you didn’t really listen to the song before posting because he didn’t mention the lyrics at all but was so quick to question Jay-Z’s motives. Hell, after Beyonce’s VMA performance you can tell Jay-Z was just damn HAPPY.. He’s finally a father after they went through a miscarriage, why wouldn’t he be? This was a bad post, and the last sentence was especially tacky.

    • http://www.twitter.com/d0wj0nes D0wJ0nEs

      lets wait till they have a full hour special, website, and holiday cards… then we’ll tlak

    • whatever

      Yeah he drops a song, that is not even for sale…lol, go capitalisim

    • jane

      Yes @Trent, Blue Ivy is beginning to look more like a Jay-Z money making project to me! What I find interesting is all the BS JayZ has said about women. “Ma you really got to ride nice d***” and so on! Now just imagine Blue Ivy at 16 on her first date with a boy who has grown up ingesting and following Jay-Z’s degrading lyrics like a “BluePrint”! pun intended…LOL

    • Ni

      He is releasing as a single according defpenradio. Amazing just as I was going to give him the “benefit of doubt”. Its all about the money. The man is a hustler at any cost. Wow.

      tbqfh he isnt trying to bring his daughter into the industry already. he didnt even make this a single. this is a song he recorded for his daughter. it wasnt recorded so he cld make money off of it. it was released through the internet and you can see how that turned out. if he was really tryna make money he wld’ve put it on itunes by now. y’all always tryna make something out of nothing. he has no control on radio djs playing this song. this was jus his way of expressing how he feels about his daughter to her and the world.
