So "Holy Grail" is clearly Jay-Z's best work?

[Mac Casper]

I believe I used the words "flawless" in my review

hell fukking no

The energy is there, but some of these songs fall flat as a whole and just sound weird to me. I don't know how to explain it honestly. Like La Familia for example. That song is fukking garbage.

This album is a good example of why I try really hard to like Jay-Z's work other than American Gangster and RD and I realize I just need to accept that oftentimes it's forced, hollow mediocrity.

The hardest fukking song on this album imo is Beach Is Better but it's only 57 seconds long come on b

 

[Two Stacks]

no way that this is his best work....

 

[PrinceDeeDer]

this n*gga will never top reasonable doubt....ever

 

[Bolzmark]

The vast majority of rappers' best work is their first album...hard to beat that because its an introduction to them and they are at their hungriest.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

these fvckin dikkriding reviewers. does this happen in other genres?

 

[phillycavsfan]

Off the top of my head, the only albums I'd put MCHG ahead of are Vol. 1 and maybe BP3.

It's just not that good. Jay's too unambitious on this record.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Negged....seriously

 

[AlphaOne]

Second or third best album.

*throws on Somewhereinamerica for the umpteenth time*

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

critics are critics. nothing more, nothing less. they exist to critique, not indulge.

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Second or third best album.
*throws on Somewhereinamerica for the umpteenth time*

how old are you?

 

[Consigliere]

Nah. Better than BP3 slightly better than KC cuz of the production. Lyrically he came harder on KC tho.

RD
Black Album
BP 1
Vol 1 & 3
AG

All superior to this.

Best thing about MCHG was the consistent production and lack of features.

 

[HideoKojima]

Yeah, its Jay-Z best album. No troll mo'.
