Jay-z career is done. Dude has grey hairs, his credibility is out the window. Dude is a camel

I'm sorry but I dont see how this album is as good as some of y'all are making it seem.

3/5

 

[kicks off]

2 or 3 solid joints, but overall... IMO this album is weak. Jay's goin' senile, and seems not to remember if he's from the BK or the UK. he'spast his prime, time to hang up the MIC.

This one of the more insightful reviews of this thread thus far.

I thought I heard he was suppose to release a longer version though..

 

[kingtre]

i take nt reviews with a grain of salt...so i will be tuning in and am anticipating good music like i've gotten every trip from Jay-

one thing i do notice is the camel type remarks in every thread

like do yall really like some rappers or dislike others based on how "cute" they are?

thats some stuff for freud to look into - i mean not liking his music is one thing but it seems dudes always bring up his camel looks, lips or the way hedresses in threads

 

[we get live]

Def co-signing [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Master Zik[/color] on "Already Home" being the best track on here, shh is justtoooo smooth!

His best album sense The Blueprint

surely you jest...

Black Album and American Gangster are infinitely better.

This album as a whole is very forgettable.

That's probably my biggest gripe with rap music in general nowadays... it's just like pop music, dudes care way more about the looks of a rapper thanhis actual talent. They are basically the equivalent of Hillary Duff and Miley Cyrus fans in their own silly ways.

Rap in general has been dead for the longest..

 

[you go boy]

i dont know what yall are talkin about... this album is solid... i can easily play the whole cd and probably skip 2 tracks at most which would be the swizzybeat and the song with drake... other than that this album is crazy... i think its the best jay did since black album...

You guys.

I swear there's nothing like a Jay-Z thread.

I'll rock with this cd for now because it's something new. Nothing on it gives me that

"bring that back" factor...but there several cuts thatare pretty decent.

The camel jokes are just jokes. I don't think there suppose to be taken seriously. It's used to take a shot. Who's really saying"Jay-Z looks like a camel I can't listen to his music"????!

But about that line on Already Home I took it as a subliminal at Cam'ron

Now these %*+%+# is mad? Oh they call me a camel

 

[tommy wong]

this album made me laugh on more than a few occasions

How old are you?

lol

 

[incredibleev]

as ive stated before i love horns on the beat, and therefore, Thank You is really a problem

this is definitely a cool album, i wouldn't put it ahead of TBA or AG as far as his albums that have come out since TBA, but it definitely seems to havereplay value

I swear to you, if you're a person that has a picky ear, give it a couple more listens.

Just swap the entire album onto your iPod or burn it onto a CD, play it in the whip and just drive

. I PROMISE you will grow to like every song becausethere's really nothing wrong with the album. It's more than solid. Those that dislike it, I'm not exactly sure what you were expecting at thispoint.

 

[gone in 60 seconds]

Thought Wale said they had some songs in the stash?. Does any think Wale could of fit on any of these tracks?

 

[jose cansec0]

yo illionaire you hang out with jay and celebrities on the daily right?

next time you chill with hov ask him what happened to dead presidents 3....

that beat was insane.

 

[th0mas cr0wn]

Listened to this all the way through in the car, and I've come to the conclusion that this is a hot album(save for 2-3 songs)


On to the next one is THAT DEAL in the whip

seriously

the album definitely does get a little weak toward the end, but everything else is nice. Has a nice smooth vibe for the most part

Stand out tracks;

Empire
Thank You
Real as it gets
On to the next
A Star is born
Venus/Mars


I gotta give it to Old man hova, the album is good

Oh yeah on my CD i don't like to waste space so I added Brooklyn, History, & Jockin' lol

and the songs that leaked are actually growing on me a little
