I hope Brooklyn Girl is a bonus track and that it leaks soon.

The album needed at least one more Neptunes beat.

basically. cut off the half the album

i still cant get over how atrocious "hate" and "venus vs mars" are. i thought he was gonna go in on "venus" since i like thebeat, and the first 2 lines made me skip the track....

this cd needed some hitmen backed tracks, the production on AG was smooth as @#$%

lol which song did he say this on

edit: he said it in already home, lmao
 
laugh.gif



He said a line in one of the songs about "if you like the old him then go cop one of his old albums". I'm really at a loss of words on how badthis album turned out to be. Kanye and Jay-Z should never ever work together again while Ye' is in this whole minimal/808 stage. The results are hilarious.And sad.




1. What We Talkin Bout

I really like this beat. Jay-Z ruins it talking about people in the past. If you have so many great things going for you, why are these cats being name checkedon your album?
3/5

2. Thank You

Instantly forgettable.
2/5

3. D.O.A.

This beat no longer belongs to Jay-Z.
3/5

4. Run This Town

laugh.gif

0/5

5. Empire State Of Mind

Shame on him for ruining such a ill song title with this track. I expected something much, much darker. It's sill alright tho'.
3/5

6. Real As It Gets

Nope.
2/5

7. On The Next One

I ignored Jay's verses the entire song....that beat is INSANE
eek.gif
. Never ever thought i would say that about a Swizz Beatz track.

8. Off That

alien.gif
Jay-Z/Blueprint 3? We off that...
0/5

9. Star Is Born

He mentioned Illmatic so that's automatically a +1 point.
smh.gif
@ dissing Prodigy again knowing he can't defend hisself behind bars. This sounds like adiscussion in the NT music forum tho'.
3/5

10. Venus VS Mars

sick.gif

0/5

11. Already Home

Eh...it's ok.
3/5

12. Hate

Horrible, horrible song. Maybe Ye's worst to date.
alien.gif

-2/5

13. Reminder

NOPE.
0/5

14. So Ambitious

I ride wit Star Trak/Neptunes to the death but this song is horrible.
sick.gif

15. Young Forever

That beat is really, really nice. Dude is having an identity crisis.
2.5/5

Song is nice

I'll say though i wasn't really listening too hard to the lyrics etc the first time through, just the beats/musical feel of the album since I was doingsomething else while listening

About to listen for a 2nd time though and see how i feel about the album as a whole

Not even trying to be a hater, but WHAT incredible *!$$ is he saying on this album? Honestly.
 
Yo is it me or after looking back at some of the tracks on this a lot of the songs lyric wise are about the same similar random shhh? Outside of songs withsome type of topic like Venus vs. Mars, A Star Is Born and a few others these other tracks consist of many verses in the same lane. Revolving around him notgoing back to his old style, taking shots at dudes he had w/e problem with, talk about him being grown and all that. This goes for the good and bad songs.

Now that I dwell on them songs like Thank You, Already Home, Hate, On To The Next One, As Real As It Gets, etc. just are on the same shhh topic wise.

Nothing really creative on this joint.

Maybe it'd make more sense if you put the lyrics to these songs next to each other.
