The closest you will get is american gangster, and that is only because he was inspired by what he saw when he previewed the flick. No one is going to hustle on the block all their life and write about it, unless your behind bars. btw american gangster was a great album. You could picture every moment as if it was a movie playing inside your head.

People grow over time so why wouldn't their music ? People's expectations are set so high, that the face value of the music is gone un-noticed. Just because something does not surpass it's predecessor does not mean that it is wack.

And you can save that "he is old and washed up bull shhh" ! Back when i was growing up " and you could say im old and washed up because im almost 32" none of my era ever dissed one of the hip hop heads because they were old ! WE RESPECTED OUR ELDERS ! without them there would be no hip hop or rap ! They learned from the best and became better.

What are these folks doing now days ?

Thats all fine and dandy, but if even if your music grows along with self, shouldnt it still be creative? and somewhat witty? Where the !%#! isthat part of his music at? On "Off That" he wasnt saying a damn thing, he was just rhyming words.

And Im tired of the "he doesnt push weight or stay in the hood anymore so why rap about it?" arguement. Scarface lives in the burbs and still keepsit 100.

So with that said, Jay is 0/3 so far and BP3 will his worst album.

First verse, yes. Beat, amazing. The rest is name dropping and trying to hard to impress new Jay listeners.

Not my cup of tea. Especially since I still bump his old $$#% on the daily.

Vol 1 =

 

[jumpman2314]

Disappointment...

Beat turned me off from the beginning...

 

[illionaire]

Hmmm, I wonder if anyone knew The Blueprint was going to be a classic after they heard "Izzo."

Exactly, you didn't.

 

[cragmatic]

This song sucks .....

Yeah, you didnt know it would be a classic. But you didnt think it would be trash.

For one, Izzo is actually an amazing song. Were the nice lyrics covered up with a commercial beat/hook? Yes. But the point is, he was still spitting.

Plus, we heard Takeover before Blueprint was released as well. Your point really isnt even the same type of comparasing at all. These last 3 songs, plus thelast handful of features or remix' he has been on have all been sub par or trash Jay. The way he raps, his flow, his lack of creativity, he constantstruggle with trying to stay hip rather then just doing what always worked, him, is a dead give away that this cd will be hot garbage.

Thats some very ignorant logic you have there.

We dont know what ANY of these rappers actually do or did. So if you like drug music or gangsta music, whos to say if its real or not? It's entertainmentyoung man.

I'd rather listen to Scarface or Jay or Nas rapping about drugs or murder or just being "hood" period, with a complex, witty, un matched flow andlyrics we could never even think of then listening to someone who actually kills people and actually pushed weight but cant rap better then solja boy.Understand?

But that isnt the point. Jay doesnt have to do that. I'd actually perfer him rapping like he did on "Go Crazy" or "Diamonds are forver"then anything else.
