The title of this thread 
though. My thoughts on the album:
- Justin Timberlake shouldn't have been the first voice heard. It's Jay's album and it's the first song. I could understand if it was some sort of intro/interlude where Jay doesn't drop a verse, but it's a full song and there's more JT than Jay Z. Cool song, but shouldn't have been the first song especially since the featured artist is more prominent than the main performer. Dope beat, but sounded crazier in the commercial. That little part where the beat switches is stillthough.
- Jay Z wasted some of the production. "Tom Ford" screamed banger, but Jay never really shows up on the song. As is, it sounds like an interlude. Probably would've been more interesting if Beyonce as Third Ward Trill (that's who she's credited as) would've dropped a verse instead of ab-libbing. "Beach Is Better" sounded epic, but it's too short. "Versus" is another song that's short.
- "BBC" looked epic on paper, but was sounded more like a commercial for Pharrell's clothing line. There's several songs on the album that would've made a dope Nas/Jay collabo, but a Nas verse is wasted on this song. "FUTW", "Heaven", "Oceans",both parts of "Picasso Baby", and even the "Holy Grail" beat are tracks that would've been more suitable.
- Nothing classic on the album, but there were several good, even great songs on the album. I never expected the Jay/Beyonce collabo to be one of the best, if not best songs on the album given their previous track record. "Heaven", "Picasso Baby", the played out by radio "Holy Grail", "Oceans", "Jay Z Blue", "Somewhere In America", "La Familia", "Beach Is Better", "FWitMeUKnowIGotIt" and "Nickels and Dimes" were all dope IMO.
I see you still found the time to quote it though and dig up a gif just to say something you could've just typed.

What's the verdict one year later? Does anybody still play it? I liked it a lot...for about 4 or 5 days. It got tired real quick though. The only songs I still wanted to hear later on are Fukwitmeuknowigotit and Heaven. A mediocre effort. 3/5.
