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!

fukk the haters. you're right.

This Album man..

"One family, I don't believe in half Sisters."

I don't want nikkas having my name... on no internet forum!
You know what I'm saying?
For real cause I'mma approach a nikka man
For real man, I don't want nobody wit a name like me man
For real son, you know
No doubt
Bad enough nikka, I don't want nobody wit a name like nobody from my TPC Clan, man
Keep it real, get your own shyt man, and be original

This and the adnis one are the best footnotes. Real talk on both of them.

I now see why Jay took that shot at future on the album. I had forgot that future tried to discredit jay z and say he didn't have a buzz till after Big and Pac died.

Manyfacedgod finally got released on YouTube. What a video and very intresting though I wish they incorporated the whole song into it. Lupita is so beautiful.

In the rap radar interview he just said it was wordplay

Shout out to Hoffa back home, he in the church
When I heard you got booked, that shyt hurt
Fear for you, bro, we know the system don't work
Take a young nikka's freedom over some dirt
Yet it's legal in Colorado
Yeah, we deny
Black entrepreneurs, FREE ENTERPRISE
That's why it's a BLACK MARKET, that's why it's called the trap
That's why it's called the projects, 'cause it's exactly that
All these people was gon' kill me, heh
'Cause the more I reveal me, the more they 'fraid of the real me
Welcome back Carter, smile - JAY-Z (SMILE)
