Listening to that album with him and Bey and although I didn't love some of the songs, it had nothing to do with the rapping

Jay was flowing his ASS off and even lyrically, it's miles ahead of what nikkas are spittin today.

His flow on "Nice" :wow:
Lol.

That was the particular song I was on when I created this thread.

shyt was :scusthov:

The subject matter may different than 98-02 but his skills are all still there.

Listening to 4:44 and Everything is Love and this dude still super raw with it. Lyrically and flowise.

Beat selection is still great as well ...


Is he gon ever fall off??:lupe:

Jay is the not same rapper at all

I'm glad, he sounded HORRIBLE on Magna Carts outside maybe FuTW

I was having KC flashbacks

The album was so bad I thought an unfinished version leaked

Plenty of rappers came into the game with kids....that shouldn’t affect your lyrics.

Wayne was his most gutter while making babies, lol. Wayne had kids at his 07/08 peak.

Center self, inner self
He's been washed for many years now, but he can still put together a solid to good effort when he wants to. 444 was a fantastic album. I wouldn't say it's a classic, but it's definitely a staple in his catalog, along with RD, BP, BA, AG.

I remember hearing "I got the keys" for the first time on the radio and thinking how refreshing it was to hear REAL RAPPING.

Dude is damn near 50 and sounding sharper and wittier than anybody.
Indeed. And that's a terrible song were it not for the raps.

If these new artists actually put words together with their flows they'd be goats
