“I don’t smoke weed or pop molly I wear Tom Ford” - Magger Carter was so trash.

That whole 2009-2013 era was a low point for Jay.

He was making trendy pop rap albums that aged like milk. Even Watch The Throne is somewhat of a mixed bag despite being the best project he had in that era. The tour was better than the album.

He was heavy on the "Euro Hov" hipster/artsy vibe. He also was getting influenced by Kanye a lot during that era. Blueprint 3 was supposed to sound like Graduation and Magna Carta was supposed to sound like MBDTF. Of course, both albums were worse versions of them.

4:44 literally saved Jay's legacy. Prior to 4:44, he was becoming the "one hot album every 10 year average" rapper that he accused Nas of being on Takeover.

All the singles off both those albums get played to this day. So how did they age bad lol?

It was enjoyable at the time but it definitely aged poorly


I still love “somewhere in America” though.
