Anyone else find it ironic that Jay disses Kanye on a song that basically borrows its concept from "I Love Kanye"?
At work and can't listen so instead I'm just going through the twitter reaction and it's great. Love when an artist is so big that any album release is just a huge online event lmao
Yeah this is good. Feels as intimate as a Jay-Z record could feel. Certainly better than whatever he's been tossing at us since American Gangster
"This guy had 'Slave' on his face. You think he wanted the masters with his masters? You greedy bastards sold tickets to walk through his house. I'm surprised you ain't auction off the casket." Talk that shit Jay. More realness in those four bars than some rappers' entire discography.
This is sounding great. Jay has been my favorite rapper since I started listening to hip hop around The Black Album so it's great that this is a major release (and vastly better than MCHG)
This is pretty cool lyrically but the delivery and flow sounds so unenthused Also "You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America?" C'mon Jay... don't know why this kind of anti-Semitism is so common
Ripped it off of Tidal just to spite him. Not really, I'm giving him money for this ish as soon as I can.
I know we're all offering opinions, but here's mine: anyone saying Jay's delivery is off or sounds unenthused is straight wrong.
No, my opinion is that his delivery is incredible and he sounds more personally invested on this than on anything else I can think of in the past decade of music he's put out.
strange that we can hear such different things, I truly feel like a lot of this sounds like he's bored when delivering the lyrics
