[aloebeats]

I was expectin way more from the guy that gave us exhibit c.
This album is acceptable ,but not worth the wait

I went from barely liking to this to thinking that it might be a classic lol


I really wish y’all would go back and research the shyt they are saying. It adds so many layers to the album.

Even the background noises and chants.

Some of the best lyricism and content from two of the best emcees on the planet and cats still find a way to hate

And it was well produced.

What do you call hating

and no this is not well produced

 

[erker]

it actually is

you don’t have to agree with it, but it definitely is the consensus

No, I don't agree with you that that is the consensus. Lots of people are saying Jay Electronica held his own. Not consensus at all.

What do you call hating

and no this is now well produced

Yes, it is now well produced. Glad you agree.

Listened to it a few more times these past few days and I stand by my initial review. This like a 3.5 out of 5 album. Good effort but should've been better.

played this for a second time. Jay Elect is so much nicer than Jay Z at this moment. Album is still 3.5 mics at best.

Jay Z as a Muslim is flat out preposterous. The man is shameless.

Yeah I went on rapgenius and read all the lyrics. This might be one for the Books honestly. Hov shining on this though. I was def underwhelmed at first and this is still not worth a 10+ year wait but I like it

Hov is using Arabic sayings and referencing Islamic things but hes a 5 percenter not a Muslim

Hov is a flodgin ass hyper capitalist bozo with a terrible haircut, a weird old face and swaggerless outfits. Get this guy outta here with these yearly makeovers.

he's not 5 percent

 

[Suspicions]

he's not 5 percent

Pretty sure since magna carta hes been repping the nation spitting that god body shyt. Some people have questioned his association like lord jamar and justice allah on the source youtube page but hov even wears the nation gods earths chain.
