How Jay-Z’s ‘Vol. 3’ Explained Rap Music in 1999—and Predicted Its Future

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

See how things work?

A bad Jay album gets a Ringer write up (who aren’t exactly versed in this department) then people who weren’t around get the wrong impression

 

[semicko82]

I thought this album was dope flaws and all.
This is last album we got "Marcy Projects Jay-Z" .
Even the lesser songs we got some gems.

 

[Iceson Beckford]

I don’t see how what oldheads see in this album

The production is weird as fukk. Jay is good lyrically though.

Snoopy Track?

Things That U Do?

Jay’s worst album up to that point.
Jay’s albums consistently got worse up to Dynasty.

Inclined to agree

Decided to take time out today and actually do my history on certain albums and this one I’ve always skimmed.

Currently listening to Street Disciple & not a fan of that either so far

I love SD. But yeah it’s bloated and should have been a single disc. Nas’ worst ever song is on there also. Making of A Perfect bytch. Where he literally raps about surgically combining parts of living women to create the perfect woman, on some Frankenstein shyt.

Was just listening to Remember The Times & Makings Of A Perfect bytch

Not feeling this album at all


All I have to say is this thread is on point:

I love Remember The Times.

I love Remember The Times.

Yeah the beat is dope, hes flowing but some of the lyrics are a bit weird

 

[Surreal]

His best album lyrically

Hoevengers live in another world.

Here's the 1993 - non wack version

 

[O.Red]

Didn't find out till I was grown that nikkas don't like that album but I loved it

It's a perfect time capsule of 99

 

[semicko82]

His best album lyrically

Exactly no matter what you think about the production you have to admit Hov was spittin on this shyt

 

[papa pimp]

So the beats can be wack, songs unfocused, but if the lyrics are hot its good

I wonder if the hoevengers will keep the same energy in other threads where this position might not be convenient
