Listening to this album again over the weekend I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed.

The Blueprint and this album accompany each other very well.

I'm kinda dissapointed in the album but that's mainly cause of the production.

No I.D. used some dope samples but some of them where very badly chopped. Sounding stuttering and shyt.
And i hate those 808s he used on all those beats. Like come on, back in the day you had good drums. Why not now? There's great free kits on the internet.

 

[H@LLOW]

it doesnt sound good.

Im suppose to like it because he's talking about passing down Wealth to your kids?

I didnt need Jay z to tell me how vital that is to community building.

Are you even black was the question?

This is clearly his most personal album since the Blueprint and he has managed to wash the the nasty taste I got in my mouth from The Blue print 3 and and Magna Carta.

After really riding around with this album in the whip all weekend, this is definitely the album of the summer. Jay spitting that sh*t on here. As others have said, I wish the drums could've knocked more on the beats. But Jay's lyrics overshadows that. The subject matter on this album is very personal, introspective, and a learning tool for those who are younger. As someone on here noted, it does give off the same vibe as Life Is Good, which I'm not complaining about because I remember 5 years ago I was bumpin that album all summer. This is the type of album you just zone out to while driving. Just listening to it on your earphones won't do it justice.

This and the "Perhaps I Freudian slipped in European whips" are my favorite lines

 

[Danie84]

also this further proves that rappers need to do full albums with just one producer

No.ID reverbed the singer on the hook with the sample over the drum kit
