Jay Z Released His Worst Album 16 Years Ago Today

[JustCKing]

I never really got "Pro Black" Jay from 4:44. He touched on some of these subjects on American Gangster, but AG was an overall better album. 4:44 sounded like an updated Vol. 1 to me minus the misfires on Vol. 1. A lot of it sounded like "You Must Love Me" where he was more so confessional and the music had the feel of that song too. For me, it had the same feel throughout, which led to it being an overall boring album for me. The songs below were nice though:

Kill Jay Z
Family Feud
Moonlight
the song with Damian Marley
the bonus songs

I remember being disappointed with rap in general around the time this album dropped lol

 

[maxamusa]

this was the best thing to result in that LP

 

[melraH]

Them grammy pictures let us know that ether still burn slow

KC has a couple joints on it that I can go back to. Hell even BP3. MCHG on the other hand is downright horrendous. That shyt aged SO fukking horribly.

 

[The G.O.D II]

BP3 and it’s not even close.

 

[The G.O.D II]

I don’t get the hate for MCHG. Sure it had some cornball shyt like Tom ford and basic bytch anthem like on the run. But shyt like crown and somewhere in America slapped. Can’t say the same for BP3

Reasonable doubt, Vol 2, Blueprint and Black Album are great. Everything else is mediocre/trash.

 

[The G.O.D II]

The problem with kingdom come is its sandwiched between arguable his two best albums(BA and AG) Nothing is bad but nothing really really stand out. It’s just a nice solid album

Damm

 

[Anti-Anime]

Worst album really? Album had bangers

 

[Playaz Eyez]

MCHG was worse

Yea avant-garde I just discovered paintings Hov was awful

 

[up in here]

That intro fire though

Intro had me thinking we was about to get some dope shyt.

 

[Trajan]

BP3 has to be the worst

I still haven't heard it in its entirety

MCHG is also really bad. 2 maybe 3 songs on there which are listenable

Blue told me remind you nikkas
fukk that shyt y’all talking bout
I'm the nikka, uh




Kingdom has 3 good tracks and 1 ok one

Glad to see that Nas stans keep Jays name ringing in this site.

With that said, Jay only has one album that isn’t dope or even remotely mediocre. That’s MCHG.
