So after 2 days of listening I can live with the verdict that this is a decent album....
Not feeling: Hater and Young Forever
Really feeling: Almost Home and On to the Next One
As Real as it Gets seems more like a Jeezy record....
Empire State is smooth, but it doesn't make me go
Bout to go listen to this Raekwon now

I gotta agree with parts of this.Originally Posted by Fantastic4our
I don't know about yall, but none of the songs give me the "" face or make me run it back 3 times.
OG Blueprint, "U Don't Know" I had to hear consecutive times. "All I Need" I had to hear consecutive times.
There are no tracks like this on this album.
Production wise this is BY FAR his weakest album.
Jay is Brett Favre status right now. BP3 is a throw into triple coverage.
"If I don't like it I don't like it that don't mean that I'm hatin...."
First thing I thought when I finished listening. Like... where are the club bangers? Where's that Dirt Off My Shoulder, Do It Again (Up In The Club), UDon't Know, Takeover, etc. type tracks? Closest is the Swizzy joint or Off That. (D.O.A. has already had it's run).
Safe to say Flex ain't throwing no bombs this time around.
That's not to say this is a bad album though.....
That's what I was thinking too. Dynasty dropped in 2000. Hov ain't lie when he said Bleek will always be a millionaire somewhere...

I'm sorry but contrary to what people are saying that swizz joint goes in......
I know it's Hov on the cocky flow but that $%@+ is tough....
Empire State of Mind is dope....Alicia sounded beautiful
Already Home is coo...Cudi did his thing but why not John Legend?!?
Venus vs Mars is cool but it does sound like a Cool J track...ya'll +!%%+* crazy
Thank You is a good look...I wonder who he was talking bout in that last verse....Budden??
I'm diggin A Star is Born...more for J. Cole though his verse was tough...Hov did his thing though too
Young Forever wasn't bad....music right?? Different Direction? This the Hov you wanna hear?
Hate could have been so much better....just wasn't really feeling the rhyme scheme from either and Ye was a big
The intro was cool....no complaints....gave my review #!% backwards huh?!?
blame it on the haze
So Ambitious was listenable smooth #!% vibe....
Off That should have been just that....off that album
Reminder was just that a reminder to us once again
DOA, We Run This Town and the joint with Jeezy were meh
DOA I think cuzI heard it a million times though...when it first came out it was dope....
Looks like Jay took a different route as expected....not a horrible album and it's more enjoyable to listen to then KC....but I expected a lotbetter....it's good though 3.5/5

IMO, this is a great album, and his best since Black Album.
I feel like Jay came correct on this album compared to his past couple of outings. I'm getting the same feeling listening to this album, like when I heardBP or Black Album for the first time.
Not saying that his album is better or worse, only time will tell after its had heavy rotation. But tracks like, Already Home, Young Forever, Empire State OfMind, Thank You are excellent and take me back to a better time......... I guess you could say a pre-Beyonce time.

This #!$ been getting spins over and over again for the past two days.
MUCH MUCH better than Kingdom Come and BP2 but not as stacked as American Gangster.
I threw away Run This Town and Off That. Two horrible @!# tracks

jesus hov absolutely wrecks empire state of mind
Lights is blinding,
girls need blinders
so they can step out of bounds quick,
the side lines is blind with casualties,
who sipping life casually, then gradually become worse,
don't bite the apple Eve,
caught up in the in crowd,
now your in-style,
and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim,
good girls gone bad, the cities filled with them,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus can't save you life starts when the church ends,
came here for school, graduated to the high life,
ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,
MDMA got you feeling like a champion,
the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien
this man said that Hov is rapping like wayne
