Jay-Z, "Oh My God," meanspeed=83.1 beats per minute, meanemotion=Loneliness


Jay-Z released his new album Kingdom Come last week, and we at Meanspeed Music Trust purchased the album in its entirety on iTunes. The second track is called "Oh My God" and was written by Gregg Allman, J. Smith & Shawn Carter and sounds like a sample from Whippin' Post for the Allman Brothers band was used as the harmonic base of Jay-Z's song.

The speed frequencies of "Oh My God" by Jay-Z are:
meanspeed=83.1 beats per minute.
meanemotion=Loneliness.
meanphase= 1.385 beats per second.
meanspace=722 milliseconds between beats.
meanpitch=354.512 Hertz, 25 cents above F4=349.228 Hertz, 75 cents below Gb4/F#4=369.994 Hertz.
