An album being overlooked or forgotten doesn't mean it was wack. The genre is full of albums that "came and went" yet mattered. Are we interested in music that sales or music that's good?
It's a good album. Not what I expected. If there's any level of disappointment for me, as someone who waited over a decade for it, it's the fact that this is it. He's not dropping shyt after this.

not to mention he let Jay Z wash him on all of the features.

It's getting harder and hard to argue against Jay-z owning the #1 slot all time.
Rappers tend to fall off a cliff moving into their 40’s nonetheless their 50’s- but Hov is a different type of beast. I’m not saying he's the clear cut #1 but to effortlessly float on an album with depth at 50 is pretty damn impressive. The requiems of struggle are interlaced with a beautiful production tapestry created in large part by Jay Elec himself. He should get a lot of credit for the temperature of the album but certainly the fact that my first reaction was about Jay-Z is a bit of a shall we say “Gift and Curse” for this album? Sorry to hit the double entendre there.
Jay Elec took a little over 10 years to drop this project, but like they say better late than never, and it's a damn good project. There are no weak tracks here, this is an album that will get better and better with time. If you know about Gods and Earths and 5%er theory and belief this is a refreshing plate of theology in hip hop for you. Jay Elec mixes in the teachings of the Nation of Islam with muses on his current state and carerrer.
We had a debate about giving this album a 4.5, it stays at 4 for the minute but maybe the only real thing it's missing is time to marinate a little more. This is a real solid piece of work, do your ears a favor and enjoy the flavor of two Jay’s going bar for bar.
Oh and Shaun Corey Carter- Please let Alchemist do a whole album for you? Thanks
