Caught their eyes is a big one man. I hated Frank Ocean's voice on the hook but it grew on me. Really soulful!

that song is my shyt....soon as it came on, my ears perked up more, and i ended up listening to that shyt for like an hour straight lol.....

the catchiness of the beat + jay's lyrics/flow over it = a hell of a song....

:mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown:

I'm just hearing the 2nd verse of Bam clearly man!!!

LOL. This nikka don't let you digest a metaphor or entendre or scheme or a clever wordplay before he hits you with another one...

Thats how come you gotta listen to these shyts over and over...

"Put that Drum to your Ear don't ger Sremmumd...., etc.

The scheme about hair !!!! :mindblown::mindblown::mindblown::mindblown:


I ain't typin all that shyt but gotdammit man:banderas:
The wordplay and entendres are off the charts on this album.

I'm not saying this is Jay's BEST album, but as a whole it's his SLICKEST, most clever album lyrically.

It's not as ICONIC but it is lyrically superior to the likes of the Blueprint.

Jay really shines within the confines of the album. It's incredibly minimal so it's like boxing a puncher in a phone booth

He mentions the Sharpton selfie which happened a few weeks ago :krs:

very slick mention of Calabasas (quick shot at Drake)
The future bar is packed tightly and neatly
Family Feud is filled with lines (acting like Tupac aint have a nosering is subtle but deep in the vein of "let them be kids")

It's just :wow:

You see my father, son of a preacher man
Who's daughter couldn't escape the reach of the preacher's hand
That charge of energy set all of the Carter's back
It took all the years to get to zero infact, I...
hated religion 'cause... here was this Christian he was...
Preaching on Sundays versus/verses how he was living Monday

The way he delivered those lines in the bolded sent chills down my spine :wow:
