>"Fuck wrong with everybody?" is what you sayin'
>But if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane
I think this line sounded alot smarter in Jay Z's head than it actually is. It doesn't make much sense at all.

It's a stupid line that he think is so deep but it does make sense? If you think everyone but you is crazy then you are the one who is crazy.

dude, the bars above your comment completely disprove your comment. It's REALLY fucking good! how can you not see it?

Literally, the only way to make sense of it would be for him to be only sane one in the world.
Must have been an oversight lol

there's no way this many people sub to tidal

Correct. That's why torrents exist.

you're a stupid hynotized bitchmade dicksmoker

fuck this guy. its some of his best work

"some of his best work"
>guys a great judge of art and probably works as a fuckin accountant
just keep buying all this useless shit and burning your money away bitch

thanks for the laugh dude

no problem

You really can't think of a simple insult huh?

>Kanye: I hit the gym all chest, no legs - 30 Hours

>Jay Z: Niggas is skipping leg days just to run they mouth - Bam

Before streaming services, people got most of their media through piracy. And it still exists

yeah and I bet you're a fkn genius

>Don't big bro me, no big homie,
I've seen pure aberration become rivals,
I've been to Paris at least two times,
I've seen a Eifel, I've seen a eyeful

Is a full-blown beef between Ye and Jay about to happen?

is he still rapping like he's out of breath about paintings and statues?

>what passes for hot hip hop beef bars
>keep eating sausages

NAS BODIED THE TAE BO CORPORATE HO

with those sloppy dad raps and kanye's sloppy dad raps i hope not

>jay z
>2017

Jay-Z's never sounded more desperate to stay relevant ever.

His is off beat in almost every song.

He still thinks we care about his drug deals or art collection.

He takes shots at the new rappers but at the same time says they are good too lol what the fuck.

He has got so much disdain for "the culture" yet he still talks about how he created all of it. He thinks he's actually a god and he sucks and this album sucks with some of the weakest rapping I have heard in my life.

And that jamaican song is probably the worst song he's made in his entire career.

You can't be talking about how awesome you are for having real guns and then apologizing to your wife for an entire fucking track that is just a bitch move. This album is full of bitch moves. He basically made a Drake album.

And Drake himself has never spent an entire track apologizing to just one woman. What a terrible album.

Jay Z should just quit music altogether, he's going to be very fucking upset when he sees his new tour sells wayyyyyy less than he expects. He better hope Beyonce co-headlines because he's not selling out any stadiums.

And dissing Kanye was one of the most lowdown disgusting bitch moves he's ever done in his life.

sorry im not a child

so fucking hard wow man some real shit

Niggas reaching straight into the sunken place

I agree with everything you said besides what you said about Kanye, nigga had it coming

>listening to Gay-Z

Where?

y'all tripping this is one of the best hip hop albums i've heard in a long time, the production is amazing. no pop singles or stupid shit like that this is real hip hop. When people say that hip hop has become shit since the 90s you can show them this album.

these aren't bad lyrics at all wtf? you listen to strictly immortal technique and aesop rock or something u fucking backpacker?

>listening to Jay-Z post Black Album.

read a fucking book, you brainlet

u want a reply so badly, huh?

It's bizarre. This is such simple lyrics over a simple topic and themes, and yet people wank it off so hard.

just like the new generation jay z is rapping shittily on hot ass beats.
what a disappointment.

>Kill Jay-Z is literally the only track on here with any replay value
>No Adnis (the only track I was actually looking forward to)
>Nigga can't ride the beat worth a fuck

4/10 and I'm being generous

This album is so bad that I was hoping for a Big Sean feature to save it.

No, you don't seem to get it.
By "if everybody's crazy", Jay is saying that Kanye thinks everybody else is crazy, but in reality, since he thinks that, it's him (Kanye) that is the insane one

>kim burrell
no one cares about the gays or what she said about them

Anyone have a DL link?

Jay Z is such trash

>nigga had it coming
How Sway?

>Wow Jay Z is using family drama to sell records
nobody should be surprised, turtle man has only ever been in it for money

Should I listen to this if I think the last listenable album was The Black Album or is it the same low effort diarrhea he's put out since then?

>I've been to Paris at least two times,
>I've seen a Eifel, I've seen a eyeful

American Gangster is pretty good tho

>Niggas bustin' off through the curtains 'cause she hurtin'
>Can't losin' the babies 'cause their future's uncertain

>these aren't bad lyrics at all wtf?

jay-z can't make a good album

confirms amount of people who care

It's like 40 minutes long. Just fucking listen to it.

Who's gonna bite the bullet and do a lossless rip? I would, but I've already used the free trial on Tidal before.

>Name one genius that ain't crazy!
>Kanye, on the song feedback
>Jay z decides to diss Kanye
>Says Kanye's crazy
>Jay z calls himself and everyone else sane
>Kanye was so ahead of his time he managed to make Jay z admit he isn't a genius and that Kanye is
>In a fucking rap diss

It's either Jay z is just stupid as fuck, or that Kanye's playing 7D checkers.

No such thing as real hip hop. The genre is evolving

I love it.
In my opinon the first grown man hiphop album.

Here's your reply

>Jay-Z's never sounded more desperate to stay relevant ever.
He's always relevant

>His is off beat in almost every song.
No he isnt.

>He still thinks we care about his drug deals or art collection.
Lmao he's literally making fun of you people that dont listen to what he's really saying.

>He takes shots at the new rappers but at the same time says they are good too lol what the fuck.
Not really.

>He has got so much disdain for "the culture" yet he still talks about how he created all of it. He thinks he's actually a god and he sucks and this album sucks with some of the weakest rapping I have heard in my life.
Ok 12 year old joe.

>And that jamaican song is probably the worst song he's made in his entire career.
What

>You can't be talking about how awesome you are for having real guns and then apologizing to your wife for an entire fucking track that is just a bitch move. This album is full of bitch moves. He basically made a Drake album.
He doesnt even talk about ratchet shit, while drake cries over strippers, jay dedicated to a powerful independent rich woman that happens to be the mother of his children. if you cant see the difference i dont know what to say.

>And Drake himself has never spent an entire track apologizing to just one woman. What a terrible album.
Yeah he spent albums and a mixtape.

>Jay Z should just quit music altogether, he's going to be very fucking upset when he sees his new tour sells wayyyyyy less than he expects. He better hope Beyonce co-headlines because he's not selling out any stadiums.
>And dissing Kanye was one of the most lowdown disgusting bitch moves he's ever done in his life.
Fuck kanye.

The JIDF is here

It's tough, I'm so torn on this album.

The beats are incredible except maybe 2 of them.
But Jay-Z is sometimes off beat or his flow switch up is not good
Sometimes the lyrics are pretty good
Othertimes I'm cringing like did you really just say that nigga

The black pride themes are ok, family feud is smart, the Ye diss could've been better.
Idk it's like a 6 dawg

are these seriously lyrics from the album??? I hope the beats make up for it because that's fucking awful

Seconding

I was actually going to sign up to Tidal just for this album, but it turns out, you can't listen to it unless you sigbed up before June 26th. What the fuck

Kek

title track is stunning
No ID is a genius

He praised the Jews. This album should do well in all the reviews.

>Jay sucking up to his cunt wife

Disappointing tbqh

This is one of the most lyrically uninteresting rap albums I've ever heard, Jesus Christ

>niggas will rip your shit off tidal just to spite you

Bullshit I signed up last night and listened

I despise you faggots. All of you are going to dick ride this album when fantanhov gives it an 8. This album is waaaay better than it should be. It's like a waaaay better version of nas' life is good.

Story of OJ is the best song on the album

>waaaay better version of nas' life is good.
settle down la

Here's an early review

Subject Matter : 8/10
Delivery: 6/10
Length: 7/10
Production Quality: 8/10

Best Track: Story of OJ

>I bought some artwork for 1 million
>2 years later, that shit worth 2 million
>Few years later, that shit worth 8 million

A true lyrical genius

That's honestly something worth bragging about though. Not buying a fucking Lambo

Nice meme.

loljzwannabgangsta

This

He's preaching to the black community. It might sound simple but niggas in the ghetto are really bad at comprehending that shit. The story of oj is almost an educational psa for stupid hood niggas. It's pretty great

Marcy Me and Story of OJ are pretty quality tracks

Dad rap nostalgia trip that means nothing to me or my draco.

OJ was a real nigga

Do u nigga. I'm about to go buy some art

>"my mom's a lesbian"
>twitter and tumbler call it a masterpiece

people are so easy to please nowadays

Story of OJ Music Vid:

streamable.com/frvxd

Ima go buy me a draco. These IG thots are not believing that I have one. Gotta show up with two and smoke em.

lyrics 2/10
beats 7/10
pretty worthless tbqh

I'm not listening to a fucking Jay-Z album LMAO

Jesus Christ Jay, why

Damn, her mom's goddamn Beyonce, but she gets all of her dad's features. That's brutal. At least she has money.

Every rapper will circlejerk about how good it is because they were told to like Jay-Z 18 years ago and hip hop is full of special little princesses that have never ever put out a bad LP.

I don't wanna sound like an asshole and I understand kids are off limit but shit man, that kid is fucking ugly, no wonder they got relationship problems

jesus, tough luck kid. at least you don't have to lift a finger for the rest of your life

444.tidal.com

Code is sprint

Free flac

4:44 > DAMN.

Anyone who disagrees is a Kendrick Stan. And I'm not even a big Jay-Z fan, his best album is and will always be Reasonable Doubt. It was a relief to not get some hot garbage like Magna Carter.

But rest assured, this album was better than Kendricks. It is more consistent, has higher production quality, and actually achieves its intentions rather than underwhelming the listener with unfulfilled ambition. Th execution is better is every way, regardless of how you immediately feel about the subject matter.

I don't care about either of these albums. Fuck hip hop in 2017, when is that Sean Price album dropping?
