Has Jay-Z truly lost it?

[45123]

Jay, in the twilight of his career, has been prone to making one horrifying verse after the other. This has led some to question whether he's lost it completely. However, he has shown great flashes of brilliance in recent memory that proves he still got it when he tries.

Already Home
Thank You
Reminder (1st verse)
Murder To Excellence
New Day
Primetime
Nickels & Dimes
Oceans
Heaven
So Appalled
Monster
Shiny Suit Theory
Brooklyn Go Hard
Pound Cake (Jay killed this, in my opinion)

Do you think Jay just bullshyts us with some of the verses he puts out, or he's truly lost it and that those verses are merely flittering uppercuts amidst a flurry of weak jabs?

Great metaphor.....

But I think he's lost it and this is coming from a huge Jay fan...
At times he drops a dope track but then he drops something that leaves me like

Monster
Pound Cake (Jay killed this, in my opinion)

I liked BP3, and I really liked MGHG.

Jay music will never be as good as his past work to me, just based of nostalgia, but whatever..

Fell off? Nah not at all. Phoning in verses? He'll yeah.

Same here it's hard to admit he falling off

 

[Big Mark]

yes

 

[Yoda]

dont tell @blackslash this tho

 

[Easy-E]

I'm convinced he has nothing left to rap about.

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

He showed promise in Justin Timberlake's Murder but for the most part he's done. Nothing he says is remotely inspiring or intriguing these days. He literally has the platform to spearhead new innovative ideas like Gates and others but his public moves to attain more wealth is off-putting. With age comes wisdom though and he's still a relatively young man in the world of "high rollers"..The book is unwritten for him.

 

[Bolzmark]

Lost it? No. Life gotten too comfy and gotten a little lazier? YES.

 

[Shadow King]

He's lost a step but not completely. He doesn't have to go off anymore, so...

On Monster he got outshined by a comedy rapper doing funny voices.

Jays been kinda crap since the fake retirement, I liked his last album but it is what it is.
