Magna Carta: Holy Grail

[DStyles]

I guess Em didn't get that memo on Renegade.

Em's verse was already there when Jay heard the song. If I'm not mistake it was originally a Bad Meets Evil song but Jay liked it and had Em remove Royce's verse


Em never bodied Hov, Jay just didn't want to come hard, that's all :eliduh:

 

[infamousPKO]

Hov' wasn't competing with Kendrick on BDKMV...he just blessed the track.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

The album ain't even dropped yet and we filing papers

They're hoping he fails so bad, it's hilarious.

They've been desperately hoping for over a decade now

 

[Da King]

Jay hasn't been lyrical since the Black album, time to just give up on him putting out anything but radio pop rap

 

[NerdNash]

His verse on Suit and Tie was

You n*ggas are really insane here.

 

[blackslash]

Jay hasn't been lyrical since the Black album, time to just give up on him putting out anything but radio pop rap

DO u know what lyrical is??

nikka. Jay hasnt been lyrical since the black album but bp3 and AG and WTT were lyrically better than TBA?

nikka miss me..u jus sayin sht to say sht

Give me the most lyrical song on TBA and I'll name 3 songs off each of these albums that put the sht to shame

 

[Jayson_bourn]

If you're saying that he isn't what he once was. That's true without a doubt.

But we cant say that an album isn't lyrical when it isn't out yet.

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

+ =

he needs to retire hes killin his legacy


once magna bullshyt dont go plat its a wrap

My point has NOTHING to do w/ sales. It's more about his work. And it's not about JUST one album either. Arguably, he hasn't released a great album since AG which was 6 years ago. Lately, his guest verses have been ok but I can't say I've heard any like the way 3Stacks comes and kills features.

So I'm just calling out his diminishing skills over the last 5+ years.

If he keeps putting out subpar work...I'm gonna have to readjust my sig.

 

[Newark88]

The album hasn't even dropped yet....

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

The album hasn't even dropped yet....

Again...I'm admitting that I'm going off of snippets as it relates to this album. But my point is MUCH bigger...I'm referring to the last few years.

Jay will almost always have moments of being lyrical. His wordplay alone sh!ts on 90% of the game right now. But it's more than that...If Jordan played 3 more years. Trust he would have some games where he got off. But as we saw by his stats with the Wizards he just wasn't the same Jordan. At some point, you gotta know when it's time to get out the game.

And that point is when you can't consistently put out music like you used to.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Magna Carta was the first document forced onto a King of England by a group of his subjects, the feudal barons, in an attempt to limit his powers by law and protect their privileges.


Really Jay-z.

 

[BreezyH]

He is slippin in terms of lyrics and even his voice at times sounds but there are alot of other bad rappers making music. He can't do any worse than a Trinidad James, Gucci Mane, Papoose etc. he stil better than most at this stage of his career.

gucci's movie trilogy >> hov's bp trilogy

 

[Animal House]

the shyt didnt even drop. IMO its going to be dope but its hov so nikkaz will hate

 

[Hood Critic]

I can't wait for this album to sonically sound like Yeezus and watch the same nikkas start copping pleas.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

I literally have zero interest in this album. But then again I don't care much for Hov's music made after 'The Black Album'
