[Soymuscle Mike]

It's hard to say this

Moonlight >>>> Nas Album Done

And I hate super recognizable sample

Nah.

nikkas is nursery
nikkas impersonatin', rehearsin' me
Nothin' like me, I'm the first of me
And that's quite certainly

 

[KiD WavE]

The album has legit taken on a life of its own..


The view had a segment about it

I'm still catching some stuff


"Generational wealth is the key my parents didn't have shyt so the shift started with me"

On your keyboards the "shift" key is for the capitalization of letters

Capital is used to help generate wealth


That was really slick


Also another I didn't connect was the Steve Harvey line just the subliminal version


"My stash(mustache) couldn't fit in a Steve Harvey suit"

That's a double we all caught

Then I realized the song is called family feud

The host of family feud is Steve Harvey

Lol

Your first is a reach.

But the second is legit, though you missed that "nobody wins when the family feuds" also references the fact that "family feud" is a game show where you either win or lose

 

[DaPresident]

Bump this everyday since it came out.


Hov the GOAT for real

Reminds me

"I caught smaller cases tryin to get capital"

I'm not sure if this been posted already


but Jay did an entire album with the person that was Kanye's mentor .......No ID




then said this on caught their eyes





'Don't big bro me, don't big homie
I've seen pure admiration become rivals
I've been to Paris at least two times
I've seen the Eiffel, I've seen a eyeful'

 

[bucks3115]

Still bump this album and its still sound great

 

[J-Fire]

Finally listened to since I got a free week of Pandora.

People really feeling this? He only flowing on smile after the 2min mark until caught their eye (1 & 1/2 tracks)....Bam was aight... Moonlight was aight too. But This sound like kingdom come part 2. Jay-Z coming out of retirement is not good again. Sounds like a shell of himself. What are these bloggers hearing? Maybe I need to check for the bonus tracks online. Hell 4:44 is a low grade remake of soon you'll understand from 2000, lol.

MCHG was waaaaay better than this. I had the CD in my car 6 months straight day it dropped. Hopefully we get American Gangsta part 2 next year.

Jay-Z was in cruise control. Jay is at his best with a chip on his shoulder and attacking the beat.

Jay is at his best slipping in deep quotables on hustling songs & comparing the streets to hip-hop or business to hip hop.

Jay spent too much time with jargon. On MCHG telling blu to lean on it you own it summed up what took entire tracks to do on 4:44.

I had high hopes with I got the keys on khlad joint! That kinda track is what makes Jay-Z Jay-Z!
