What was lacking with Magna Carta Holy Grail

[theflyest]

Jay-Z's music is catered towards white people. It's been that way for years.

 

[FuckAllY'all77]

That album was

 

[USSInsiders]

All I know is that one half of the GOAT hip-hop duo is dropping a better album on the 8th

 

[Crakface]

The first thing i noticed was it didnt have any good songs. The album isnt complete Trash but its far from good. Jay should just retire off this one. His whole career as a theme tells you that the only thing waiting for you at the top of success are dusty ass cacs and swaglessness. Holy Grail of shyt.

 

[Suspicious Dingo]

One word: Substance.

 

[Vertigo_Black]

SOUL....that's it.

Jay been lost that a long time ago.

 

[Cloud McFly]

"Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it"

 

[OG Talk]

What you guys always complain about regarding a Jay-Z album. Y'all are waiting for the emotional heartfelt song that's never coming from him.


Get over it.

True but his strength used to be his sarcasm and wit... Now he's not even good at that anymore.. I think the criticism is deeper than him not rapping like Dead Prez... He not even rapping like Jay-Z anymore...

Andre 3k is finally dropping or is it Mos Def

SOUL....that's it.

Has he ever had a soul? His highly regarded albums were Chinese like replicates. These classic albums, contain a noticeable amount of skippers. His only good album, Vol. 2, is only good because he gets outshined on every single track.

It sucks

Nas been around longer and can still put out historical verses and albums

 

[Reggie]

Nothing was missing. This is just a typical Jay-Z release now with strong beats ok but not great lyrics and a lot of references to fashion. After this long in the game we should not expect anymore from him.

 

[Versa]

but you're forced to listen to the rest of the song just to get to the hook.

The Blueprint has 3 or 4 questionable tracks on it.

The Black Album has 4 or 5 questionable tracks on it.

Reasonable Doubt has ... You guessed it.

The few tolerable tracks are mere copies of something monumental.
