Such a powerful first page to this thread
I actually haven't heard Magna Carter. I haven't listen to a full Jay album since BP2 which I thought was a dope album.
I just know any dope tracks and dope verses will be aired throughout the culture. Never bought the fake TBA hype and retirement.
He has like so many records since TBA lol and dont forget all the collabo LP's with Beyonce, Kelly, J electronica. It's watered down his product.
If you haven't listened to his whole LP's since TBA I don't think you have missed much. (Empire State of Mind was his last banger to me, dope beat dope verses and Alicia was not needed on the hook it was too much).
The Damian Marley record was alright too but not a banger. Jay-Z is the Alex Mack of rap dude can literally transform into anything to get by anyone.
I guess now he is on his God sh1t not long ago it was 'Life starts when the church ends' 'Jesus can't save you' 'I don't pray to God I pray to Gotti' but last we heard from him he was on the Khaled track talking about 'God blessed him'. As soon as Gwyneth and Chris and them left his side for some new BFF's he transformed again.
