I agree with King Comma Splice aka The Artful Dodger aka Art Barr the goat I was so disappointed with hollow ass cornball album. Hardest fukking beat is basically an iTunes snippet? :what:

That pissed me off :stopitslime:

i refuse to conform
Its weird

To me Jay is at his best when he is not trying

Granted, back in his "Original Flavor" days he had a funny little wave. But him biting IWW Nas & OB4CL Rae's whole aura was the best thing for his music. He absolutely mastered the effortless flow. When I think Jay I think his verse on "What You Think Of That"

Since Ether he has all but abandoned that effortlessness, pursuing these strange Euro Gilbert Godfrey inflection "hey new hot nikka can I borrow your flow + inflections" to try and reinvent himself, and dissociate himself from the streets... the streets that gave him the content and flows that got him where he is



It's so fukking bizarre

I do need to say tho, Bey on Part II....


yup i totally agree he is forgetting what got him here which is that gutter music.

*subs for later*

Not going to read this until after I listen to the album so it doesn't bias my opinion. Will check back in tomorrow to peep what The Legendary Art Barr has to say.

Judging from the review if the OP didn't take away points for petty personal reason's this would be a highly graded album :leon:
