What the fuck was he thinking? Seriously this album is so fucking bad, its beyond garbage. I've never heard beats as bad as these in my life before. Album didn't even sound Hip Hop.Like I said beats were on some 2900 shit and the hooks like Tash pointed out, were just retarded. Wtf happened to the days when rappers used RAP BEATS?
1-4/10 at max and I'm a Jay-Z fan.
Can't believe the reviews some of you gave this O_O
Are you sure you guys have heard Jay-Z before?
I wouldn't probably go as low, but this the closest review to my feelings. This had some highlights, but seemed so lazy and passionless. Like he was like "I'm Jay Z, i can try whatever in my music, and get slow my flow a bit, people will still call me the GOAT and by the CD". Not impressed overall.
For real man that's exactly what he was doing on this album.matz wrote:Xray wrote: Wtf happened to the days when rappers used RAP BEATS?
u want all rappers to stick to the old tried forumla for rap/hip hop beats? nah i want people to try new things and expand
That's like saying fuck using a kick, its getting old, lets start using toms and replace it altogether. Tradition is tradition and you can't fuck with that. Try new things? what if they succeed critically and we start looking at rappers changing the style of rap, making it sound more pop just for the fuck of sales. Cause that's what's happening right now, there not trying new things in favor for the fans to keep things fresh, no there trying new things to sell. And I bet every real Jay-Z fan is disappointed from this album, because neither does it put it above anything he has done before, it also fails at making a Blueprint 3 after the first 2 classical Jay-Z albums. And right now nothing matters but the fact this album failed at attempting a Blueprint 3.
word
After a quick listen it has a few ight songs but I actually liked the Jockin Jay-z/Dope Boy Fresh song more than any of the songs on this, and was dissapointed with overall feel of the album
Kanye should of formed a group with the martian man lil wayne and use these beats for it instead
Where was the dead presidents, brooklyns finest, aint no nigga, 99 problems, justify my thug, dirt off ya shoulder, etc. type shit?? Gonna give it a few more listens.. i'll post again if i change my mind.
