Jay-Z records song with two-day-old daughter

This is just too cute not to post... With echoes of Stevie Wonder's Isn't She Lovely, Jay-Z has recorded a song that practically bursts with joy of becoming a father.

Uploaded to his Life And Times website last night - just two days after Beyoncé gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter - it's likely that the rap was at least partially freestyled, which only makes it all the more impressive. Jay-Z reveals that the baby was conceived in Paris, the day before Beyoncé shot the cover shoot for her latest album, and says it'll be "hard not to spoil you rotten, looking like a little me".

On a sadder note, he mentions that Beyoncé suffered a miscarriage the first time they tried for a baby (this is surprisingly common - something like a third of first pregnancies end in miscarriage).

The song's called Glory and it even contains a few guest vocals from Jay-Z's "child of a child from Destiny's Child". Which makes her the real Lady Gaga, right? RIGHT? Right. [you're fired - ed].
