Initially I felt Jay wanted to drop another project and was using JE as a way to do it and still sound refreshing. Maybe that's apart of it.
But now I'm feeling like Jay wanted JE to have a body of work and held his hand through it so it got done. Son had album fright and this was the only way he Jay Z could help him get over it. I feel like JayZ played the background on the presentation of this (listening party, tracklist etc.)
"40 days, 40 nights, tryna live up to the hype
It's the road less traveled, it's the one who missed the flights
Hov hit me up like, 'What, you scared of heights?
Know your sister tired of workin', gotta do her something nice' "

wild to sayI mean it's mostly funny to me, it seems to me that all that 5%er **** is pure crack pottery,
its hard to imagine risking getting branded an anti Semite
in service of a religion for kooks.

This album takes me back to the 90s. Songs/beats with so many layers, so much to digest, so much to understand. Multiple spins are needed to get a good conclusion. You can tell it took time to make this.

One thing I I think engineers now do it for earbuds/headphones and not cars or house systems.
I don't hear the problems hearing their lyrics listening that some have complained about.

well I hate to break it to you, they not anymore.
race is a social classification, not a biological one, so naturally who is or isn't black or white shifts with over time.

We have a black man calling other black men kooks for not subscribing to a fraudulent set of history. He is so afraid of what his master may brand him as, that he is willing to toss away his identity and deny his lineage. Sad.

Not sure if it's been discussed but take it for it's worth: This is actually Jay-Z's album and this album is Jay-Z's written Testimony as to why Jay Elect is the best to ever do it. His written testimony falls in line with the Exhibit series and explains the intro with Farrakhan discussing the lawyer. Supposedly Jay Elec has another album coming out. From what I've gathered this album was really a shot at Drake and this is Jay-z/e letting drake know they're ready to catch a body. This also explains Drake's song "War" and him trying to upstage Hov by shooting a video in Marcy.

Don’t forget the tie-in of “A Raisin in the Sun” later on in the line champ. One of the movies Lou Gossett was in.
