Jay-Z's new album leaked

[AlerG]

I didn't take any reviews into mind when listening for the first time. The production is solid at times, but the music just comes off as heartless, uninspiring, and forgetful. Mind you, there are a few bangers. It took me 3 sit downs to finish the album. It's alot of meh to digest in one sitting. I'm not really a fan of it. Ill probably listen to it again in a month after all the nonsense hype has passed. But i really wasn't feeling it all that much.

Symbolism is all over this album. Not that great to be honest, but then I'm from the 90's era

honestly im with you, and i think that if you aint from the newer school of hip hop where jay z is a god then you aint gonna feel this album and thats cause its not good enough to stand on its own merits imo

a few good songs but thats it

That's the problem. People think that it's because we are getting older, that we won't like what the kids like today, but I can debunk that by saying I like what my parents liked  I can listen to music from all genre's from all decades, but the music today is just too weak, too watered down. Buying an album today in the hopes to have 2-3 good songs with replay value on it is a disgrace but that is the regularity of where we're at today with the industry.

Snoop has a new album out....... (no one is really hyped or interested) I think Quik is probably the only one because he still provides quality material but all these others are done. The kids will buy it because it's fashionable to do so, whilst listening to it with their beats headphones on

[Leggy Hendrix]

lyrically Jays worst album...everything else about it is dope though

pretty much sums it up

[Blood$]

if you guys really think this is his worst album lyrically you never heard Blueprint 3

Lmao. In the last two Jay interviews Elano posted in the first of the two, about 3/4 of the way through they talk political and Jay says "the government is too big. We need to shrink it down to the people who matter". Lmfaooooo. Son is so blunt about his affiliations.

[Elano The One And Only]

"The Truth" heads to the Bronx for an interview with JAY Z. Sitting in the New York Yankees baseball museum at Yankee Stadium, JAY Z speaks on "Magna Carta... Holy Grail"; new rules in the music business; his philosophy on collaborations; the connection he has to New York; and the future of rap.

In Part 2 of the #FactsOnly interview, JAY Z gives Elliott Wilson a glimpse into his views on respect and competition within the music world; the shared stories between sports and hip hop; his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin ruling, and his perspective on parenting.

Let's lower the 1%  

Thing is the 1% is more like 0.0001 when you look at the super rich IE; 1000+ in the world. I wouldn't even class Obama and all these puppets in that category. They are simply here to manipulate and keep the agenda moving

Trying to confuse the masses by naming movies and albums after legitimate and currently relevant constitutions. The Magna Carta of 1215 is a declaration of sovereign governance and is the closest thing the UK has to a constitution. It precedes all current legislation and "made up" laws in parliament today. You know the ones? The ones that have us emptying our pockets more and more every year. Taxes for air, taxes for water, fines and penalties for walking the wrong way or putting the wrong rubbish into the wrong bucket etc etc. It's getting ridiculous!!!

They don't want people to to reassert THEIR Constitution and god given rights because it eliminates all these fake manipulative rules of society put in by these snakes and traitors that are passed off and accepted as laws but really aren't, so they create these mainstream BS products under the REAL laws and documentations to confuse the masses and mask them from the truth...... Ask a kid about the rule of law, their genuine 'human' rights, and the terms and conditions under which those elected must govern, be they a monarch, president or parliament, but more specifically ask them about the Magna Carta and they'll be like     "Isn't that a Jay Z album"??!! 

LOL. They're being clever. it's an age old tactic. How can you make something disappear that cannot be destroyed? Easy!!! It's done by replicating it under something different and re-marketing the new product so that it then becomes synonymous with that meaning or title to the point where it's true meaning is simply grayed out and forgotten.

Sorry for the long drivel but it's something that is serious. Jay Z is one of the biggest puppets out there. The less switched on won't understand, but some on here will

Totally on point with everything you said.

Jay said himself it's his 4th best album behind Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint and The Black Album. All of which are pretty widely considered to be classics.

LOL so u bought the hype.

LOL does he not sound like a pre-teen girl who just bought the new spice girls record?

just fuckin wit ya, beibs....i thought this album was solid. nothin great, but not whack either. the beats are the highlight. his flow tends to be very choppy and somewhat lazy on this 1, but he gets the job done.

[Will_B]

My initial view of the album was a 6 - 6.5/10 (which is about average for Jay)


7
Reasonable Doubt
The Blueprint

6.5
Vol 2 Hard Knock
Vol 3 Life & Times
The Black Album

6
In My Lifetime
The Dynasty
The Blueprint 2
Kingdom Come
The Blueprint 3

5.5

[Sccit]

REASONABLE DOUBT IS MORE THAN A 7...DIDNT U GIVE KENDRICK'S ALBUM A 7.5? LOLLL
