I'm enjoying this rollout

But if I'm being honest

Leaflets was really good pretty much the whole way thru, and the last two didn't really do much for me... Maybe 1 song on each, stuck with me

Still anxious to hear the remaining 16 projects assuming that's the plan lol

Act I" and "Act II" are conceptual projects based on the three-act structure of a magic trick.

Yea but he told us that nearly 20 years ago. If not for those leaks a few years ago, we would have first heard Act II last weekend. With Act III still pending. The waiting and mystery of it all may have been interesting to me in 2009 but now? No.

Feels more like The Talented Mr. Ripley than The Prestige. And I'm not mainly referring to the fraud aspect...I'm talking about falling love with a certain lifestyle that isn't yours, to the point where everything you do is about maintaining it as long as possible. Which in Jay's case means ghostwriting or being a fun enough guy to be around that rich people (Jay, Nas, Rothschild chick, Diddy, record execs, producers, artists, etc) pay to take you places. I remember about 10-12 years ago when he was just traveling through Europe going to nice restaurants, drinking the finest wines, etc. Then there was the era where he'd get drunk on twitter once a month and say wild shyt. As of last year (during the beef) he was seemingly begging Drake for placement on the OVO ghostwriter bus.

What any of this has to do with NOI, I don't know. But it's just weird that someone as contemplative as he was never really addressed any of this. Maybe that's what Act III is.

You typing essays to say what? You sound bitter :mjlol:

“He’s moving in elite circles but he doesn’t deserve to be there, he hasn’t put in the work “ 😡

All he fukkin talks about is the Noi but u asking what this has to do with the Noi :gucci:

That "Candace Owens" joint could have been hard if he didn't add that layer of echoed vocals over every single bar, shyt is mad distracting and just takes away from the song.

Jay Elect gotta cut it out with having 2-3 minute speeches from politicians and excerpts from movie clips. It's getting ridiculous having those as tracks. Just rap, nikka :dahell: :mjtf:
reason i won't listen anymore

no one got time for that shyt

this should released 15 years ago
