Jay-Z's Vol 2 is a tragedy

[Skilltastrophy]

Aged terribly and Things That U Do and S. Carter are worse than anything on Vol. 2.

we clearly aren't going to agree

but I'll take those three tracks I mentioned over anything he did on Volume 2

 

[Mr.Black]

nikka stop fukking with my childhood

that, ryde or die vol 1, and we are the streets was ALL that got played in my hood in 99

 

[DANJ!]

I actually didn't think "Things That U Do" was that bad....take away the weak beat and Mariah's vocals, lyrically it was nice.

"I felt caged in but kept roaming
Prayed for the Day of Atonement
Married to the streets no date of annulment
It seems every time it comes up
They postpone it
So I kept my chrome at the waist
Waiting for the omen
Savoring the moment and now you know
The reason that I flow the way I flow baby"

"Could've been lost in the system
Instead I'm involved with the rhythm
I dodged prison, came out unscathed from car collisions
I know I must be part of some mission"

"Whether you big or bossy, jig or flossy
Dusty or musty, sober or saucy
Broker than Todd Bridges, richer than Bill Cosby
Forgive me for my arrogance or you still salty?
Past on to the next life and you still haunt me
I'mma keep doing me unfortunately"

So it's not a bad song once you take away two of the three components of it?



shyt is weak... he spit on it, but he basically wasted them bars.

I don't know why people never include

Jay Z - 12 Its Like That - Vol.2 Hard Knock Life - YouTube

Probably my favorite track of the album, every single bar, everything is ice cold about that joint.

[director_of_bands]

[Hammer]

vol 2 was very solid

vol 3 was kinda weak

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Listening to vol 2 now and never understood ppl callin it "weak".

[Ace2306]

Vol. 3 is the best out of all 3.

Vol. 1 has classic songs but some weird/awful production on it

Thanks to your boy
