been listening to music from the internet a long time bruh. None of those are better than itunes. At all.

First off, sound quality is consistent in itunes. The music is portable. It doesnt take up space on your computer. and its way more convenient. You can say what you want about apple, but iTunes is the reason everything else exist bruh. lol. It sucking doesnt even make logical sense. You just being stubborn.

Why even go through downloading music from the internet. looking for it. Looking for a better copy of it. downloading it. Opening the folder. Opening the winamp. keeping all the music organized. lol. Why. Just pay 99. and get a official version from itunes and support the exchange of creative genius.

I do admit to being stubborn but who said I didn't buy my music lol. But most of those reasons you listed are the opposite of every experience I've had with it. I can respect that they legitimized online music but it doesn't go far past that :ld:

I have nothing against the iTunes store but the iTunes program for Windows is awful. There are better listening/library/management options out there. It's good for updating iDevices, tho.

Edit: But you know what, ima download it again and give it a thorough try just cause you seem to praise it. Maybe I'm missing something.

Soul. shyt was soulless... was all the worst things about pop music poorly wrapped in hip hop. It was also just poorly rapped.

I agree with people that say the album feels like a lot of singles. "Blueprint 3" felt like that too. "American Gangster" was his last cohesive project post-retirement. Here's how I rate Jay's album Post-Retirement:

American Gangster - 4.5 MICS
Magna Carta Holy Grail - 4 MICS
Blueprint III - 3.5 MICS
Kingdom Come - 3 MICS

So Yes, Jay has been hit or miss but he still dropped a lot of bangers and he's still going strong commercially after all these years in the game. But even with "Magna Carta" inconsistency's, it's still a solid album and proves Jay Legacy as one of the greatest is cemented. But @Napoleon is right. Jay has basically done it all and some of you still want him to walk on water this late in his career. Let's see other rappers make it this far 1st to be still selling this many albums deep in their career.
