About Otis

"Otis" is a song by American rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West from their collaborative studio album, Watch the Throne (2011). The song samples late soul singer Otis Redding's version of "Try a Little Tenderness". The production was covered solely by West. Redding is credited as a featured artist and the namesake of the song on streaming platforms due to his work being sampled. The track was premiered by Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show and was released onto the Internet the day afterward. Lyrically, the song has the two rappers sharing lines discussing wealth, decadence and fame. The track received widespread critical acclaim from music critics who lauded the trading off of verses by the two rappers and the Redding-sampled beat, which was compared to the style heard on West's The College Dropout. Several publications placed the song amongst the best of the year.
