Not really big on this tbh.

No I.D. has produced far better stuff before, the samples are too obvious and some are poorly flipped imo.

It's hard for Jay to be personal or feel "authentic" and not like a brand, so a bit of the message does feel forced but the bars are far better than MCHG. Tom Ford and some others now are just :scust:
Some of his most appreciated work (by his fans) is when he's personal :what:. lol that's his whole fukking thing, he talks about his life and what he observes through his eyes.

Tracks like D'Evils, Regrets, Blueprint (momma loves me), Lucky me, Where is from, A week ago, Where have you been, this can't be life, Song Cry, Coming of Age, Real nikkaz etc.

Just because it was more street oriented doesn't mean that it wasn't personal :snoop:
