Kanye West is having a change of heart. The hip-hop superstar has renamed his fiery track “Theraflu” to “Way Too Cold.”
“I changed the name of the song THERAFLU to WAY TOO COLD,” announced ‘Ye, who professes his love for Kim Kardashian and lashes out at her ex Kris Humphries on the DJ Khaled-assisted song.
The change could have been a result of pressure from Theraflu, the cold and flu medicine. “We in no way endorse or approve of the references or use of the image and likeness of Theraflu in this manner,” the drugmaker previously told TMZ. “Theraflu is an over-the-counter product used to help relieve cold and flu symptoms that millions of consumers rely on.”
He also removed the Theraflu-branded packaging from the illustrated artwork, replacing it with a simple white bottle.
The retitled track can be purchased through Kanye’s website for $1.29.

WARNING: THE LYRICS OF THIS SONG THAT DOES CONTAINS EXPLICIT CONTENT.
[Hook]
Lamborghini Mercy, your chick, she so thirsty
I’m in that two seat Lambo with your girl, she tryna jerk me
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
Drop it to the floor, make that ass shake
Whoa, make the ground move, that’s an ass quake
Built a house up on that ass, that’s an ass state
Roll my weed on it, that’s an ass tray
Say Ye, say Ye, don’t we do this every day-day? (Huh!)
I work them long nights, long nights to get a pay day (Huh!)
Finally got paid, now I need shade and a vacay
(And niggas still hating) so much hate I need an AK
Now we out in Paris, yeah I’m Perriering
White girls politicing that’s that Sarah Palin
Gettin’ high, Californicating
I give her that D, cause that’s where I was born and raised in
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Pusha T]
It’s prime time, my top back, this pimp game, ho
I’m red leather, this cocaine, I’m Rick James, ho
I’m bill droppin’, Ms. Pacman is pill popping, ho
I’m poppin’ too, these blue dolphins need two coffins
All she want is some heel money, all she need is some bill money
He take his time, he counts it out, I weighs it up, that’s real money
Check the neck check the wrist, them heads turnin’, that’s exorcist
My Audemar like Mardi Gras, that’s Swiss time and that’s excellence
Two door preference, roof gone George Jefferson
That white frost on that pound cake so your Duncan Heinz is irrelevant
Lambo, Mercy-lago, she go wherever I go wherever we go we do it pronto
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Let the suicide doors up
I threw suicides on the tour bus
I threw suicides on the private jet
You know what that mean, I’m fly to death
I step in Def Jam building like I’m the shit
Tell ‘em, “Give me fifty million or I’mma quit”
Most rappers taste level ain’t at my waist level
Turn up the bass ’til it’s up-in-your-face level
Don’t do no press but I get the most press, kid
Plus my bitch, make your bitch look like Precious
Something about Mary, she gone off that Molly
Now the whole party is melted like Dali
Now everybody is movin’ they body
Don’t sell me apartment, I’ll move in the lobby
Niggas is loiterin’ just to feel important
You gon’ see lawyers and niggas in Jordan’s
[Verse 4: 2 Chainz]
Ok, now ketchup to my campaign, coupe the color of mayonnaise
I’m drunk and high at the same time drinkin’ champagne on the airplane
Spit rounds like the gun range, beat it up like Rampage
100 bands, cut your girl, now your girl need a bandaid
Grade A, A1, chain the color of Akon
Black diamonds backpack rhymin, co-signed by Louis Vuitton (Yup!)
Horse power, horse power, all this Polo on I got horse power
Pound of this cost four thousand, I make it rain, she want more showers
Rain pourin’, all my cars is foreign
All my broads is foreign, money tall like Jordan
[Hook]

[Intro: Blades of Glory sample]
We’re going to skate to one song, one song only
[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
So I ball so hard mothaf**kas wanna fine me, first ni**as gotta find me
What’s 50 grand to a mothaf**ka like me, can you please remind me
(Ball so hard) This s*** crazy, y’all don’t know that don’t s*** faze me
The Nets could go 0 for 82 and I’d look at you like this s*** gravy
(Ball so hard) This s*** weird, we ain’t even spose to be here
(Ball so hard) Since we here, it’s only right that we’d be fair
Psycho: I’m liable to go Michael, take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
(Ball so hard) Got a broken clock, Rolleys that don’t tick tock
Audemars that’s losing time, hidden behind all these big rocks
(Ball so hard) I’m shocked too, I’m supposed to be locked up too
If you escaped what I’ve escaped, you’d be in Paris getting f**ked up too
(Ball so hard) Let’s get faded, Le Meurice for like 6 days
Gold bottles, scold models, spillin’ Ace on my sick J’s
(Ball so hard) B****, behave, just might let you meet ‘Ye
Chi town’s D. Rose, I’m moving the Nets to BK
[Hook]
Ball so hard mothaf**kas want to fine me
(That s*** cray, that s*** cray, that s*** cray)
[Verse 2: Kanye]
She said, ‘Ye can we get married at the mall
I said, “Look, you need to crawl ‘fore you ball
Come and meet me in the bathroom stall
And show me why you deserve to have it all
That s*** cray, ain’t it Jay? What she order, fish filet?
Your whip so cold–this old thing?
Act like you’ll ever be around mothaf**kas like this again
Bourgie girl, grab her hand, f*** that b**** she don’t wanna dance
Excuse my French but I’m in France, I’m just sayin’
Prince Williams ain’t do it right if you ask me
Cause I was him, I would have married Kate and Ashley
What’s Gucci, my n****? What’s Louis, my killa?
What’s drugs, my dealer? What’s that jacket, Margiela?
Doctors say I’m the illest, cause I’m suffering from realness
Got my n***** in Paris and they going gorillas, huh
[Interlude]
I don’t even know what that means
(No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative)
No it’s not, it’s gross (Gets the people going)
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Kanye]
You are now watching the throne, don’t let me get in my zone
Don’t let me get in my zone, don’t let me get in my zone
These other ni**as is lyin, actin’ like the summer ain’t mine
(I got that hot b**** in my home) You know how many hot b****** I own
Don’t let me get in my zone, don’t let me get in my zone
Don’t let me get in my zone, don’t let me get in my zone
The stars is in the building, they hands is to the ceiling
I know I’m ’bout to kill it, how you know? I got that feeling
You are now watching the throne, don’t let me into my zone
Don’t let me into my zone (I’m definitely in my zone)
Jay-Z, Kanye West Settle Watch The Throne Sample Suit

All samples cleared! TMZ reports that Jay-Z and Kanye West have settled a federal lawsuit in which soul singer Syl Johnson claimed that Jay and Kanye illegally lifted a portion of his 1967 record “Different Strokes” for “The Joy,” off of their Watch the Throne album.
“The Joy,” which was produced by Pete Rock with West, Mike Dean and Jeff Bhasker listed as co-producers, first surfaced in 2010 as a free digital download as part of Yeezy’s G.O.O.D. Fridays viral campaign.
The suit claimed that ‘Ye attempted to clear the “Different Strokes” sample for his Grammy Award-winning My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy but couldn’t get the necessary agreement in place before releasing his LP.
The song was later included as a bonus track on the deluxe version of Kanye and Jay’s tag-team Watch the Throne LP, but the duo failed to clear the sample, according to Johnson. This isn’t the first time “Different Strokes” has been sampled in hip-hop before: Wu-Tang Clan (“Shame On a N—a”) and Public Enemy (“Fight the Power”) are among the most notable acts to use the record.
Johnson filed his complaint in Illinois federal court in October after archival record label and publisher the Numero Uno Group initially threatened a lawsuit on his behalf. The lawsuit was dismissed last week because the two sides have reached a settlement. No details on the agreement have been made available, however.

With Jay-Z already coming in at number 6, it’s only right that Mr. West makes the list as well and he comes in at number 3.
“Jay-Z has really stood alone over the course of his career and he never really let somebody else get in the front,” said Rahman Dukes, MTV News’ director of hip-hop news, about the collaboration.
