"The Morning" is a song by recording artists Raekwon, Pusha T, Common, 2 Chainz, Cyhi the Prynce, Kid Cudi and D'banj from the 2012 GOOD Music album Cruel Summer, which features uncredited vocals from Kanye West. The song was produced by West, !llmind, Jeff Bhasker and Travis Scott. A remix was released by 2 Chainz titled "G.O.O.D. Morning".

Composition and lyrics

The song contains elements of 1956 recording Get Me to the Church on Time".

Pusha took to the online site Genius to annotate his lines: "Some claim God body, blame Illuminati/All cause his pockets now knotty as his hair, yeah". The inspiration behind the label and its name was explained by West with the lines: "I treat the label like money from my shows/G.O.O.D. would have been God, but I added more O's".

Critical reception

The track was listed as an example on the album by Consequence of Sound of when "the songs become too jammed-up with so many moving parts that it sounds like they're actually immobile", but praise was published for Raekwon's verse. Pitchfork described the verses of Raekwon, Common, Pusha, 2 Chainz and Cyhi as being "hurled at you like a handful of action figures".

Commercial performance

On October 6, 2012, "The Morning" debuted at number 19 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and never charted on it again. However, it did manage to enter the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number 49 two weeks later.
