Magna Carta Holy Grail will either be amazing or trash

Jay doesn't do average albums... they're either wack, classic, or great

He sounds inspired and focused on this one, but I'm not sure about the production. He's made classics with Timbo, Swizz, and Pharrell, but they have a history of making wack shyt together as well.

There's 3 major things that go into a successful Jay album: The right delivery, un-lazy songwriting, and top-notch production. Jay had good moments lyrically on BP3 but his delivery was and the production was for the better part of the album.

Just hope this time his delivery is more on track with "Open Letter" and less with "Suit & Tie"

But if you're following the pattern of Jay's albums (wack-great-wack-great, etc) this album lands on wack (BP3 - wack, WTT - great) It remains to be seen until July 4th. Hov needs to reassert himself into the #1 GOAT MC talk.

It won't look good for Jay dropping a dud after Nas dropped that classic last year...

 

[L. Deezy]

nas will save MCHG regardless...

 

[DStyles]

[Canada Goose]

Nas verse is gonna be the best on the whole album, Nas is gonna renegade that camel

 

[MrGovan]

Life Is Good was not a classic. Good album but seriously what replay value does it have outside of a Nas Stan's world

It was a great album, but people gotta come to terms with the fact that Jay & Nas will never drop another classic You only release classic albums in your prime, that's how it works, no matter how good it is.

Here on the coli it will be both... Amazing and Trash


The Jay stans will come in celebration and talk about how incredible it is(whether it actually is or not), while the jay haters and die hard nas fans will enter the thread and try and make the thread about Nas

(thus evident in this thread already)

Murder to Excellence is a dope song as well.


Same goes for Made in America but then again that song is dope mainly for Frank Ocean's hook
