Jay Z Released His Worst Album 16 Years Ago Today

[Peter Parker]

Magna Carta Holy Grail is probably the only solo Jay Z album that I straight up hate, if you count collabs Roc La Familia easily by 100000 miles

Yea I anytime people mention Timbaland as one of the goats. Impossible. Mans is about 30-40% responsible for all jays worst songs/albums.

Kanye/Just/Bink gave us Blueprint. No ID gave us 4:44. Puff/Sean C & LV have American Gangster. Timbaland has Magna Carta Holy Grail …and Off That…and Ghetto Techno

Timbaland is still a GOAT. Name a GOAT that ain't made trash. And Jay Z had some garbage songs before he ever worked with Timbo. Tim ain't responsible for "I Know What Girls Like" or "Sunshine" and those are easily the worst Jay Z songs of the 90's.

Timbaland has also given Jay Z some of his most classic songs. So there's that.

I knew the general population and average person was stupid as fukk and would fall for any marketing ploy at a young age because of this album. Dude "retired" for like 2 seconds and marketed this as the "come back"

Drake first mixtape came out 2006 same year as Kingdom Come dropped, and he blew up in 2009, he from that era, he not a new artist

 

[Artfull Dodger]

Breh I remember literally forcing myself to like the damn album. I never done anything like that, because if its ass its ass. BP3 went off the damn rails after Thank You. The whole album just felt like I was the bad guy for not owning famous painting. Like fukk me for not going on vacations and island resorts. You broke fukking koala, we popping champagne while you eating poisonous leaves.

Delta How>>>>>Spirit Airlines Hov>>>>>Etihad Airlines Hov

I ain't say all of that... Timbo has hits for days, he always seemed to give Hov the scraps though.
He did give him Big Pimpin' so not everything was bad, just a huge chunk...

An the moment Best of Both Worlds was on that poll, that should win. I hate MCHG and BP3, but come on. Who the fukk has ever played that album?

Maybe it’s just me but I play best of both worlds allll the time. Great upbeat summer type album








Beeeeeeest ooooof booooooth woooooorlds uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

If were talking about solos. Magna Carter is the worst. Jay talking about his paintings and name dropping Basquiat like it was a new thing

The Linkin park mash-up were horrible. But they still got played heavy on streaming services so more money for him I guess

 

[EastsideRio]

Said no one ever

Story of OJ, Mercy Me and Family Fued were the only tracks I fukked with breh

Atleast MCHG had Picasso Baby, On the Run 2, Tom Ford, F wit me you know I got it, Beach is Better, FUTW

Just my opinion breh

 

[EastsideRio]

How is Vol 3 not an option but gift and the curse is?

 

[DonRe]

Whatever album forever young is on. Cot damn i hate that song and easily dropped jay in my top 10 list.

That whole era had a lot of basura. Some good shyt. Very good. But damn the misses are strong.

 

[Braman]

How is Vol 3 not an option but gift and the curse is?

Vol 3 is so hard to rate. Some absolutely atrocious tracks…but also Hova song intro and outro Dope Man, there’s been a murder …. NYMP

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I legitimately don’t remember anything off Kingdom Come, don’t think I played it after first listen. But BP3 and MCHG were peak gentrification Euro hov, amazes me how nikkas bought that “pro black” “kicking knowledge” steeze of 4:44 when the nikka only released music like that once it became safe to speak on issues. He’s like Lebron in that sense, people applaud lebron for groupthink tweets after speaking up about social issues became acceptable

Anyway, jay been trash outside of American gangster for 15 years now

 

[EastsideRio]

4:44 was so fukking wack.

I’m not tryna hear pro-black Jay discussing his politics, marital affairs he felt guilty about and him being proud of his gay mama for coming out the closet.

I didn’t want to hear or know that shyt at all
