First, it was Lil Jon going "Yeeeeeeaahhh, Whaaaaaaat!", then you had TI and Jeezy throwing out the "Aaayyyyyyyyyy!" now JayZ is going off with the "Uggh Uggh"WTF
Jay-Z's "Aaah" >>> Young Jeezy's "Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah/That's riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight/Eeeeeeeeyyyyy/Ooooohhh/HaaaaHaaaaa/Daaaaaaaamn" any day.. Still annoying though, lol.
I dig it. The album doesn't feel as mature as his past two releases but the subject material is pretty consistent even if it's not insanely lyrical.

In my opinion, American Gangster was just as mature. Though, it felt like a man's reflection on his past. It was deeper than Kingdom Come which was him just producing mature music for his age. To be honest, if Jay's Kingdom Come is an example of mature hip-hop shit doesn't even go that deep. It's one of my favorite albums by him but hip-hop listeners that are older need to grow up.Note: I'm not looking for a debate on whether he's a fraud or not. At this point in his career it really doesn't matter to me. This effort feels like he's going back to the pre black-album jay-z where he,Quote The music I be makingI dumb down for my audienceand doubled my dollarsThey criticize me for itYet they all yell "Holla"If skills sold, truth be toldI'd probably be lyrically Talib KweliTruthfully, I wanna rhyme like Common Sense(But I did five Mil)I ain't been rhyming like Common sinceWhen your sense got that much in commonAnd you been hosteling sinceYour inception,Fuck perceptionGo with what makes senseSince I know what I'm up againstWe as rappers must decide what's most importantAnd I can't help the poor if I'm one of themSo I got rich and gave backTo me that's the win, winHe's dumbing down his lyrics but his subject material is still consistent. People complaining about the lack of Beanie or Freeway need to move on. He put them on enough.
