I’m talking its first week. And besides the album is 3x plat 17 years into his career. MJ the only other black male artist that successful late into their career.

Also RIAA is shipped not sold

Nobody denying he extremely successful and got great longevity

But that shyt ain't go triple off actual sales and streams, a third of that is the Samsung deal

LL Cool J would like a word with you. Prince would like a word with you. Luther Vandross would also like a word with you. There's Kanye. I could go on.

What’s the hardest line from those nas albums

Or a super crazy verse

No one ever responds when I ask

Breh you was just calling Take It In Blood an average track. So either you disingenuous or don't like dude's music. Nobody gonna engage you on a serious level. You gonna throw the cape on for Jay and post verses for someone who tell you Can't Knock The Hustle or Imaginary Players is mediocre? Everyone know you gonna dismiss anything they post

So with that said :mjlol:

Listen to this from 1:30 on and if you don't feel that I don't believe you was a fan to begin with

Once again I like my verses and songs to mean something. Take it in blood is just rambling

And that WTF song is ok. Nothing special

As people have said, theres a few good songs but also a lot of pretentious song concepts and hollow bars.

Jay-Z in his prime was incredible - deep, disrespectful, conceptual, funny. Just an amazing performer that had you glued to the speakers. I really think something changed after the 'retirement'. Yeah he still has his moments (AG mostly) but when I listen to his music post TBA, its like he stopped having fun with it. He wants to prove how smart he is in every song, where previously the song themselves were smart.
