"OK OK oK so now the guys working for Jay-Z. Any problems he can call Kanye, trouble writing a song he can call Kanye, beef with any award shows he can call Kanye, but now Kanye has to come up with good beats no matter what." lol Some of yall might not agree with me but i feel like i just watched Jordan come back with the 45, get crossed by AI, and play for the wizards all in one album. Nah im just kidding, its not that bad but maybe Jay should have let diddy produce his LP again (cant believe i said that but American Gangsta was crack) instead of having Kanye's blown head, walking on the moon, futuristic, sci-fi ass do the bulk of it. im convinced Kanye is "On yay" anyway...
The verses are well above average Of course. With lines I had to say woooooh to (H.O.V I got my own lane already). However the hooks are ass chips (Reminder??? is that Auto tune?). Sad to hear Kanye chew HOV on "Run this town," and, and... say it aint so Jay... Did u really bite Drakes/Kanyes flow on "Hater" ::tear tear:: and I know you guys heard "LL-Cool Jay-Z" on "Venus vs Mars"...back to Sean Carter the hustler Jay Z is D.O.A....
...Or maybe not. Jays flow is always awesome but what makes him great is his ability to mix that flow with clever metaphors over any beat and come up with songs like "Forever Young." Jay Z, who also goes by the name of "Young" or "Young HOV" cleverly addresses his critics that say hes an old head. Jay-Z says "Youngs" music will last forever so he will be forever young. At the end of the day no matter the production or the hook Jay-Zs lyrics over shadow all. The flow biting is a new one to me but this album should still go Platinum at the end of the day.
