You know the funny thing about this album is it is unapologetically not for white people. Like I couldn't see myself as a white person not liking this album, a few tracks here and there but over all. :ld:



If this album doesn't do numbers and pushed and supported by us as a people then....man nothing will. The album is real on many different levels and speaks to a generation of black men and women.

Heads are incapable of not being a prisoner of the moment. Let the album breathe.

Man fukk all that let the album breath bullshyt:what:

What classic or great album did anybody let breath :stopitslime:

Every classic from any genre from thriller, illmatic, purple rain, blueprint had extremely high rave reviews & people calling those albums classics upon release

People know greatness when they hear it nobody needs to wait 2 months down the line to make a decision especially when the majority agree

If Adnis, ManyFacedGod, & ? are bangers then it may be hard to dispute this as a classic.

break it down :lupe:

"Y'all think it's bougie, I'm like, it's fine
But I'm tryin' to give you a million dollars worth of game for $9.99"

1. That's the line on the surface level...

2. Most albums be costing $10 and Jay saying he's giving you a million dollars worth of game on this album. In the words of J Cole "An album cost $10 you act like it cost 10gs".

3. A million dollars is basically $999,000

4."Y'all think it's bougie, I'm like, it's fine
But I'm tryin' to give you a million dollars worth of game for $9.99" - The word fine has a double meaning here too. He basically saying the fine (the fee) for this amount of game he's giving is a million dollars but he's giving you a discount price of $9.99. This obviously ties into #2 up above.

Hov be on some other shyt :picard:

Edit: Wait just realized it's a quadruple entendre, Jesus Jay :picard:
Quadruple entendre :gucci:

Finally had a few full listens..this is a solid 4.5/5. Probably his most personal and honest album..kinda like Pacs MATW. Light years ahead of Magna Trash album..makes you wonder why he dropped that garbage.

Salute Jay !
