Just started listening to this.... so far the beats are straight, but his lyrics are VERY bad... Lyrically this might be on some Kingdom Come BP3 shyt.... WOW

American Gangsta was probably the last real lyrical album he did....

"No Church In the Wild" shows he can still spit, but damn if he ain't phone this album in

This nikka jay is so much a shell of his former self that its not even funny. Got damn this nikka sounds :flabbynsick: Thank god for spotify. Jesus christ I'm four songs in...wtf is this? I'm listening to tom ford now...man...These beats r terrible.

nikkas hate on bp3 but got damn that album blows this album out the world. Ye and jay have to be trollin with this shyt...

Man not to bring up the comparisons but Nas killed life is good lyrically. If I were nas, listening to this mchg album I'd be :shaq:. nikka gotta know he the goat now.

I don't trust none of u coli nikkas on ur opinions on hip hop anymore. This shyt is garbage.

I thought some of the beats were good like Picasso Baby, Somewhere In America, fukkwithmeyouknowigotit, even BBC beat I thought was cool. Weren't impresssed with the lyrical performances though.

I finally get why so many nikkas hate this album now. This thread made me finally get it.

Jay doesn't sound like he put 100% into the recordings and the beats sound something your favorite college rapper would get on and now all of a sudden the hate flows in.

It's really not that serious. It's a modern album from a 43 year old rapper. I have no idea what you nikkas thought this shyt was supposed to sound like. :mindblown:

Imagine Pink Floyd dropping an album now that would rival Dark Side or R. Kelly making another 12 Play or even a Chocolate Factory. Hell, imagine LL making another Radio or Mama Said Knock You Out. shyt just wouldn't happen. :manny:

The EW review addressed this


My big problem with legacy artists (and 25 years and 12 albums in, Jay is totally a legacy artist — don’t let anybody tell you otherwise) is that they are given too much leeway in the media when they trot out new projects. Just as the Rolling Stones’ later work will forever be blessed and cursed by the fact that they made Exile on Main St., Jay can't help but be overrated at this point — as the man says, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. Jay-Z's music has always been about class, and now that he's the overseer of an empire, he's rapping from the wrong side of history. It would be one thing if this album was simply musically bankrupt, but the way it has been presented as a capital-I Important piece of art about ''duality'' (Jay's word, not mine), delivered to us via the power of corporate marketing and Samsung-sponsored data-mining, I find absolutely putrid. But would this be a better album without the rollout, or is the rollout the whole point? It's hard to divorce yourself from the whole experience

You can't present yourself as a game changer thats releasing the event album of the summer and then just fall back on some "I'm just a old man yall take it easy on me"

Hip hop is way more competitive than classic rock...You should know that folks aren't just gonna sit back and watch a rapper run a 7 year victory lap without asking for more...

:leostare:

Rock bands, especially ones back in the day, used to go at it all the time. Always beefing with each other. In interviews, doing subliminal stuff at live shows, even a few of the lyrics were jabs at each other. Just because rock bands don't typically make diss records doesn't mean that the competition was any less aggressive. Those dudes were always fighting for the top spot.

When I mentioned Pink Floyd, I meant competing with their own catalog. There will never be another Pink Floyd or "Dark Side." Just like it will never be another R. Kelly or "12 Play." These artists have no one to answer to.

There's a stickied thread up top doing Meek Mill numbers dedicated to this album yet you fukk nikkas continue to crowd the rest of the forum with MCHG threads?:stunnadahell: None of y'all is posting anything enlightening enough to warrant starting new threads. Nobody gives a fukk if you personally think it's classic or trash after two tracks:aicmon: Nobody wants to go along on your damn fantastic voyage of listening to the album. Give it a fukking rest.
