I know some devout Jay Hovah witnesses who still sleep on Trouble. Joint is tough as hellI actually liked the album
Prelude
Kingdom come
Lost ones
Do u wanna ride
Trouble
Beach Chair
You're making no sense.
Let me break it down for you. If I buy a product that I'm not happy with. I have a right to criticize that product and whoever put it out.
By your logic, if I get bad service at a restaurant I can't complain because I don't work at a restaurant all day.
Maybe these new nikkas don't know, but you'd be lying to say you don't have a questionable reputation as a pedo nikka.
Album's saving graceLost Ones is still![]()


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.

Album ain't wack to me, I'd take it over American Gangster never understood the love for that album honestly.
AG might be his best album since blueprintNo 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.

dont let your legendary hate cloud your judgmentThat's the specific song that I had good reaction from as opposed to everybody else
Matter of fact sometimes I think i'm the only person that loves that song. And I know you hate that nikka but see if you can see the method in my madness here.
To me that shyt was fly as fukk and bouncy, he was flowing his ass off and giving some insight even if it's surface level...another thing is the versatility of the record. It sounded more like runway music than a rap song..which is ironic because that moment/album kinda signfied the point where the whole "i'm not a rapper" shyt stopped being just talk...
Another interesting thing to me is...the fact that HHID and this album didn't drop that far apart from each other, you go and listen to a song like "blunt ashes" from that album and then listen to this and you get a good glimpse of how Jay and Nas would take the same song topic/outline in completely two different directions...the ills of fame...one nikka sits in solitude with an erie backdrop almost telling ghost stories and the other is spitting from you from in front of the camera.
And I love both those songs but the contrast is amazing. Easily the best song Jay and Bey have not named on the run. I just don't think the people who grew up on Jay were ready for something that "hollywood" from him.

Never thought of it that way. Great breakdown.
