I didn't say it was bad. By Jigga's standards it's amongst his worst releases down there in the smelly end with Watch The Throne, Kingdom Come and Best of Both Worlds.

I would rather listen to Tony Yayo's Thoughts of a Predicate Felon 10x on repeat than hear 4:44 again.

Jay is like your boring uncle trying to school you on basic topics that are common sense. "Listen here young blood" type of old ass.


Bruh how could you not like WTT. It was the last great/epic moment in the genre, imo

I only gave this one spin. I was really put off by him releasing it right after Prodigy died, then when I finally got around to it, the off beat flow put me off even more :yeshrug:

At least he didn’t do anything crazy like drop a joint album with Beyoncé now that Nas finally dropped an abum after six years :mjlit:
4:44 is amazing when you listen to it and RIP Prodigy but breh he released this album 10 days after breh died:stopitslime: and what correlation do Jay and Prodigy have outside the feud .. They wasn’t homies

Story of OJ easily one of the most overrated Jay tracks. Was expecting some social commentary about avoiding being exploited and blacks seeking white acceptance. shyt rang hollow to me.


Smile last verse was verse of the year.

This album is great.

Too bad the videos were trash
Trash? I thought they were dope as fukk. I enjoyed seeing something different. Specially Story of OJ one of the best videos ever. Of course it would be cool to see Jay instead of actors but still. I get what you are saying about them not being repeat worthy just like movies. That works for me.

Story of OJ is a goat video...

The rest we don't have to see again.

I feel like that diminished the albums impact
