nikka brought the barz out for this one. This makes me more pissed off at Magna Carta Holy Grail, nikka just mailed it in on that one. But THIS...Jay really shines within the confines of the album. It's incredibly minimal so it's like boxing a puncher in a phone booth
He mentions the Sharpton selfie which happened a few weeks ago
very slick mention of Calabasas (quick shot at Drake)
The future bar is packed tightly and neatly
Family Feud is filled with lines (acting like Tupac aint have a nosering is subtle but deep in the vein of "let them be kids")
It's just

To pimp a butterfly changed the rap game.
Don't you ever try and give hov credit for the Age of the Woke .
I'm happy hov finally came around in his 13th album.
But don't you forgot Nas dropped hip hop is dead , untiltled, and distant relatives a long time ago. And he was kilt by you Jay Z Stan's.
Stay consistent or take heed to your ignorance.
If anything started this contemporary wave of 'conscious rap' (age of the woke? Stfu) it was 2014 Forest Hills Drive, which came out a year before TPAB and very famously went platinum (and now it's double platinum) with no features.
You're either a kdot stan or a fukking cac or BOTH cuz his main fan base atm is loser cacs, neg

Did brehs just forget Section.80 ? Cause that dropped a few years before FHD was even a thought.

I agree with people saying this is minimal.but so effective. Different sounds and I know that nobody will agree with Me but it reminds me of Blonde by Frank Ocean. Minimalist as far as the spectacle but so much depth in the words and personal aspects. I love it.

And you have to keep in mind that the album hasn't even gone out for wide release yet. That means we don't even really know the impact the songs will have when they're pushed. Bam, 4:44, OJ, and Moonlight could be big songs.
U Don't Know and Heart of The City took time to cook and become all time great Jay songs.
