In hindsight Hov's Beach Chair was an awkward ass song

[Bone$]

Got demons in my past, so I got daughters on the way, if the prophecies correct then the child should have to pay.. For the sins of a father, so I barter my tommorrows.. hova slayed this ish

 

[Vandelay]

I loved that record.

Grown man reflective shyt.

 

[Cladyclad]

Classic Jay record breh

 

[GunRanger]

beat is great


jay's voice is just horrible. He doesnt sound good over certain beats

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

I love psychoanalyses of people you don't know based on what you see on TMZ.
As if Jay-z can't be introduced to new things, can't explore new things musically and on.
He's human kids..

Hip hop is the only place where people want you stay one way your entire career.

Once you make a statement or an opinion on something never can you change your view point years later even if you further educated yourself on it or feel it no longer applies to you.

It ain't that bad..... let the Camel cook......he expanded his musical boundaries with one song on one album.

 

[MrPentatonic]

Jays best shyt recently is when he ain't trynna run with that artsy shyt, I fully understand why he has to do that though

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

beach chair is Hov's most underrated song

 

[re'up]

I liked that beat and hook, and the first verse...but whenever I go past the first verse, I remember why I always cut it off, awkward flow, bad lines, just awful verses. Maybe the worst example of the dreaded whisper flow.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

Really good song

Some guys are rappers and others are artists

 

[CM_Burns]

I thought it was goofball rap from the beginning.

 

[Piffery]

I told Jay I did a song with Coldplay...next thing you know he got a song with Coldplay - Kanye West


This pretty much summed it all up

Just to be clear:

"Jay-Z explained the situation with Coldplay, while praising West for following his creative instincts.



“[With] Coldplay – I introduced him!” Jay-Z revealed. “I gave him the number. I made the song happen. I did that. [Mimicking a phone call] ‘Coldplay, here’s Kanye. Here. [Passing phone to imaginary Kanye].’ Its great though, because its his truth. That’s what’s brilliant about him. It wasn’t no bulls**t – it was the way he felt.”

You know, Jay being friends with Chris Martin and all.

 

[Blackout]

Jay is known to jump on whats popular to try and jump start his career to try and get back to like how popular he was back in the day.

I'm guessing he will jump on Drake next now that he is done with Kanye

 

[DontEemTry]

That last verse is incredible to me.

Life is but a dream
Can't mimic my life
I'm the thinnest cut slice
Intercut, the winner's cup
With winters rough enough to interrupt life
That's why I'm both saint and sinner, nice
This is Jay everyday, no compromise
No compass comes with this life just eyes
So to map it out you must look inside
Sure books can guide you but your heart defines you, chica
Your corazón is what brought us home
In great shape like Heidi Klum, Maricón, I am on
Permanent vacay, life is but a beach chair
This song is like a Hallmark card until you reach here
So 'til she's here, and she's declared
The heir, I will prepare
A blueprint for you to print
A map for you to get back
A guide for your eyes, and so you won't lose scent
I'll make a stink for you to think
I ink these verses full of prose
So you won't get conned out of two cent
My last will and testament I leave my heir
My share of Roc-A-Fella Records and a shiny new beach chair

I mean fukk what you think about this nikka but that's just really good writing, period, a great verse.

The song itself is whatever though, never liked that beat much.
