This song is what started my hatred of Jay-Z

[FreshAIG]

that Picasso Baby vid is still one of the worst things I've ever seen

I hate that video so much lol

 

[Womb Raider]

But he got lot of filler on his albums besides Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint 1, and the Black Album, it is what it is, he had joints for different crowds on all his album and it lowered the quality of the album

Even Big Pimpin don't hit like that no more, and sound kinda of corny, as well as that I just wanna love you by Pharrell, neptunes beats age like milk except for grinding

Nah son you cappin

Big Pimpin still slaps

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This song was really just over exposed and not actually bad. Kingdom Come and BP3 did have some horrific songs though

 

[OfTheCross]

Damn Picasso baby is GARBAGE Jesus christ we sure do give Hov a lot of passes as a culture I forgot how bad that first verse is and the hook omg

it has its place

Looking back, a lot of Jay Zs music is lowkey mediocre/ trash.

You're just reinforcing my dislike for it by equating it with Basel

It was Big Pimpin for me

 

[Ukbrotha]

Imagine liking hip hop and hating JayZ. Smh

Imagine liking hip hop and hating JayZ. Smh

And had to wait for Nas to give them the green light to it

 

[Master Teacher]

Nah son you cappin

Big Pimpin still slaps

None of jay club singles really slap anymore, you can tell they was trendy when he release them because they don't hold up, people gonna look at you like womp womp

Jay is good at arena music not club music, they don't play none of jay shyt in the club not even some throwback shyt, Hard Knock Life does not slap anymore, the beat sound to weak now, but You Don't Know get played in sports in Arena, PSA slap, not Change Clothes and Go, that Blue Magic song is trash, I can go one for days, Jay best cuts are album cuts, his best singles are shyt from Reasonable Doubt Volume 1, blueprint, American Gangsta Roc Boys is probably the only single from that album that still slap, he got nikkaz in paris that type of music will still resonate, not any of his old club singles, like that throw ya hands up, Jay verse was cold, but that beat sound like trash now

Cmon breh, can you honestly say you could sit through the whole Picasso Baby video without turning that shyt off?

 

[JustCKing]

Cmon breh, can you honestly say you could sit through the whole Picasso Baby video without turning that shyt off?

Why would you even be watching the video in the first place? I get watching it when it first premiered, but it's like some people here put themselves through it. Like, "let me see if this video is as wack as I remember" and being mad that it's still wack or worse than when they first saw it. Hating Jay for "Empire State of Mind" I get. That song was played everywhere ad nauseum. That song was near inescapable. The video for "Picasso Baby", I forgot existed and the only time I'm reminded of it is listening to the song.

 

[Heelish]

For me it was his fake crying/extra whispering flow on Minority Report that killed me It just comes across as forced.


Edit: almost forgot about A Ballad For The Fallen Soldier off BP2

 

[papertrail08]

Jay hasn't been the same since he came out of retirement

 

[BulletProof]

He redeemed himself somewhat after "I Know What Girls Like."

But he entered the back ten of my top.

Blueprint 2 with all his begging for validation and the line " I dumbed down my lyrics just to double my dollars," cemented that.

This mid life crisis wannabe Basquit phase isn't helping matters.
