Jay-Z continues his new album marketing blitz by releasing two more lyrics sheets from Magna Carta Holy Grail. Today's releases include high-fashion ode "Tom Ford" and the quick "Beach Is Better."

"Tom Ford" is mostly a luxury rap song, but it contains several interesting lines namely this one chunk toward the end of the song:

"Hands down, got the best flow/ Sound I'm so special/ Sound boy burial/ This is my Wayne Perry flow/ y'all know nothing bout Wayne Perry, though/ District of The Columbia/s**t on your tumblrs/f**k hashtags and retweets/ 140 characters is in these streets."

God, that gives me hope for the new album. It's classic HOV. Start with a boast and back it up with a dense, killer verse.

(Breakdown: "Sound boy" is an inexperienced rapper or DJ, Jay-Z says his flow will bury lesser rappers. This is also a shoutout to the Smif-N-Wessun song "Sound Bwoy Burriel."

Since he's talking about killing, he brings up infamous-in certain circles- DC gangster/killer Wayne Perry. This both alludes to the way he's "killing" other rappers and backs up his flow as smooth because Perry's nickname was "Silk."

The tumblr line is just awesome and I can't wait to hear Jigga say this out loud. Also, the play on words with the characters line is choice).

On the other end we have the sparse, quick song "Beach Is Better"...which seems to be a play on how the word "beach" sounds like "b**ch." Like Jay needed a song so he stared at a rack of novelty coffee mugs.

What do you think of "Tom Ford" and "Beach Is Better?"
