Listen to Jay-Z's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" inspired new song, "Holy Grail"

by Tyler Munro

Jay-Z’s new album Magna Carta Holy Grail dropped early this morning, and while it’s not technically available to non-Samsung users until July 9th… come on.

One of the big stories behind the album, aside from its million free copies, is word that Hova paid to use lyrics from Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Here’s “Holy Grail,” and the lyrics in question pop-up about 2 minutes in. It’s kind of a non-issue once you hear it, honestly.

The real draw to this is basically every part not featuring Jay-Z. Justin Timberlake guests on the hook and steals the spotlight here.
