Wait, so they want to DISCOURAGE people signing up for Tidal and Sprint? I don't even remember the last time I heard of someone who waited on a new Jay-Z project unless it was someone recycling the same top 5 rappers' list over and over

It's the same marketing ploy he did last time, just another way to make it sound like he is selling more than he is.  Last time they said he sold a million because of the cellphone app he did with some cellphone company.  As long as the music is dope I guess

I lost faith in Jay around the Empire State of Mind days... when he was friends with Arod and had run out of ways to floss over beats, talking about art, etc.

This one is good tho. Best content yet, one producer sound and feel. Too many quotables to list here, for real. Short though. 10 tracks, 36 mins

Here's The Story Of OJ the only song Ive heard on twitter. Seeing all the bars being quoted and knowing I'll never hear the full album leaves me out the loop a bit but the video is a nod to racist era cartoonist impression of Blacks in the US and the hook is pretty deep. Seen comments about people knowing Jay a hustler so they aint getting hustled into buying the album and one person made a comment about this being Jays attempt to encourage Black Capitalism as a cure for Poverty which they dont agree with. Cant tell if anyone here actually bought the album. Suprised there hasnt been been more discussion.

Listen to and watch The Story Of OJ here https://twitter.com/unoriginaltrend/status/880887870759632896

This album is fire for what it is. No ID came with monster production.

Jay really impressed me. Jay gets deep, nothing commercial at all. Nigga just rhyming.

I heard 'Family Feud' playing on the radio yesterday, and was impressed by it, but mainly for the beat.
I've never been a big Jay-Z fan but I might just give this a listen.

This album is the shit! I bang'd it out on a hwy cruise today and enjoyed it from beginning to end. Production is nice and sounds like an album not a bunch of comercial gimmick singles smased together. Honestly I wasn't expecting anything from this so it was a surprise. Jay brought it back with this one.
