You know, you've got this.. fantasy in yo' head about gettin outta the life and, settin the corporate world on its ear What the fukk you gonna do except hustle? Besides pimpin... and you really ain't got the stomach for that

The game's fukked up
nikka's beats is bangin, nikka your hooks did it
Your lyrics didn't, your gangster look did it
So I would write it if y'all could get it Bein intricate'll get you wood, critic On the internet, they like you should spit it I'm like you should buy it, nikka that's good business
Hehe, forget this rap shyt I need a new hustle
A little bit of everything, the new improved Russell
I say that reluctantly cause I do struggle
As you see I can't leave so I do love you
But I'm just a hustler disguised as a rapper
In fact you can't fit this hustle inside of a wrapper
Back when crack was
What these pills are, I was a real star Complete with real, cars, no video ones
You can come and set up a camera, let the video run
And my real life, complete with real, ice
VVS boulders oh they're visibly set Head and shoulders, my invisible neck
You see Hova, wasn't digital yet Befo' Steve Jobs, made the iPod Was gettin head, jobs, we call that intimate
Back when rappers wouldn't dare play lyrical roulette
With a automatic weapon I was reppin with a tec
+Fresh+ like +Mannie+ be, chain like anti-freeze
Shoebox full of cash, dealer man hand me ki's
Pantries full of Arm & Hammer, don't take Nancy Drew to see what it do, I'm a damn G
Just sent a million dollars through a hands free
That's big money talk, can you answer me?
Before the answer was a 3
I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, lawyer chick
Sure he's rich now cause he saw the shyt, all this shyt
That's why they call him Hov', cause he came before all this shyt
Bought a 6, quarter seven, skipped on them quarter eights
Bought a 9 for non-stop glock work all the time
Woo! Guess who's back?
Since this is a new era, got a fresh new hat
Ten year veteran, I've been set
I've been through with this bullshyt game but I never quit
I used to think rappin at 38 was ill But last year alone I grossed 38 mill' I know I ain't quite 38 but still
The flow so +Special+ got a +38+ feel
The real is back.



I got the album and heard The Prelude like, "Oh shyt! This nikka spitting. Jay still got it.:ooh:"

Then I heard the rest of the album. :francis:.

It had a few bright spots tho. That "Ride With Me" feat. John Legend is dope.

I'm forever inpressed with the way Just Blazed flipped that Super Freak sample. :whoo:


i felt like that Intro set us up for failure. I ain't seen a screw job like that since Montreal.:aicmon:

Word. I remember I was at work and put that shyt in the Whip. Lost my mind after the Intro and OMG Hov. Came in after my break tellin nikkas Hov had some new heat. Then after a couple days....nikkas was lookin at me like :stopitslime:

if you really want to keep it 100, outside of American Gangster... that's been Jay's whole thing.

sell you on an intro+hot track...then an album of bullshyt plus whatever new trendy thing he's into.

BP3, WTT, MCHG... all the same shyt.

No one in this thread could sell 10,000 records if they tried yet so easily they can critcize a man who conquered the cut throat record business on the Internet.
Put the camera on everyone in this thread for 19 years and lets nit pick at their life.

I was one the few that fukked with KC and HHID, still play them today.

Def had some duds on it but It got a lot of undue, but understandable hate because of the build up.

Breh, Just Blaze had nikkas thinking KC was gonna break the universe off of Oh My God and Show Me What You Got....

Then i heard this bullshyt on the album
