All this dude did was spit average rhymes with a theological, spiritual, black slant to it. I won't say his songs were bad, but the hype bestowed on him was way overdone.
Content & depth > rhyme schemes

Although my personal goats have both, I weigh the content more

it made no sense. i think it was because it sampled new orleans rappers like 'get the gat' and DJ Jimi...both jay and beyonce got on that new orleans vibe and i think gave them some type of bag

renaissance is part 1 of 3, so beyonce is doing act 3, is what he's saying

idk, jay probably thinks he needs to act a fool to see if he can finesse or finagle out of his record contract so he can start dropping music that he wants to make instead of the regiment of what the music industry corporate executives expect of him, but he's too much of an asset to jay and beyonce in terms of ideas for their projects for him to be let go, so he's kinda stuck with all these creative ideas to make as songs but have to express himself thru a cookie cutter, so he's probably keeping his best tracks on hold and the leftover stuff doesn't have enough support on roc nation, because the record industry is designed to monetize and wring you out of your best ideas by the time you hit your 5th album, etc...someone need to go suge knight/master p the situation and buy jay out of his contract, but that probably wont happen so we are just left just waiting around, especially when the teaching of NOI doesn't necessarily condone half the stuff he wants to rap about. and it's kinda nuts that he claims that he got special permission from the minister himself to keep rapping


The minister is taxing his ass.

His contract not keeping him from dropping music. He is keeping himself from dropping music.
