After my first listen....

Say what you want. Personally, I think this is a GREAT album. First two beats are so laid back.

There's actually no doubt in my mind that the album with Damien Marley is gonna be leaps and bounds better than this.

You said you thought Nas would be mentioned more in this thread in response to all this Eminem/Relapse talk. There aint no Nas album out tocompare BP3 to, since ppl were comparing Untitled to AG only other album Nas got coming is the joint with Damian.

Unless you meant just random posts about Nas > Jay

Jockin Jay-Z was scrapped a long time ago, and Brooklyn We Go Hard was never even supposed to be on BP3, it was for the Notorious soundtrack

Jay-Z: Obama wanted to end the campaign 'Jordan-style'

Posted: September 11th, 2009 04:22 PM ET


From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

Jay-Z: Obama wanted to end the campaign 'Jordan-style'.

(CNN) - Superstar rapper Jay-Z recalls that in the closing days of the presidential race, Barack Obama asked the rapper for help on the campaign trail and told him: "We need to end this game Jordan-style."

"He was calling me saying it was the fourth quarter and how we need to end this game Jordan-style," Jay-Z told New York radio station Hot 97 on Tuesday. "He was joking. He has a good sense of humor."

Jay-Z held several concerts for Obama during the presidential race to help the campaign register voters, and during inauguration week in January, he treated Obama campaign staffers to a private performance at the D.C. Armory in Washington.

Asked if their friendly relationship has cooled since Obama entered the White House, Jay-Z said, "Everything's cool."

During the sit-down, the radio hosts argued that the criticism over the president's nationally broadcast address to school students on Tuesday was racist - but the hip-hop artist had a slightly different take.

"I don't think it's straight racism, but they're talking to a racist audience, which is dangerous," he said of the President's critics. "But they're doing it for ratings. It's sensationalism, right? They're doing it for this type of attention."

The dude has made a few classic records, and constantly compares himself to legendary artists like Bigand Pac...so I think he's partially responsible for setting these high (and maybe in some cases) unrealistic expectations. Basically it's the gift andthe curse...

I didn't really care for all that much at first, but after several listens it kinda grew on me. I'm putting it in my flavor of the monthcategory...gonna have it in rotation now because it's new.

Time will tell how much replay value this joint really has...and that's me giving it to you straight without any hint of haterism.
