I thought Allure was similar but much better.
Ballad wasn't bad though, but it's hard for me to listen to it without wanting to just play Allure instead.

Seriously one of the worst songs Jay-Z ever recorded.

Pooping on your head :umad:
I thought this song was dope, then again I love conscious Hip Hop.
It was my sixth favorite song on that album.
I'm shocked its getting so much hate in this thread, a song like "So many Hoes" was a much worse song IMO.
Then again "So many hoes" is kinda funny, as I can imagine Jay doing the
face while a inspiring rapper is bothering him in the club.

I like conscious Hip Hop as much as the next man.. The problem is, you have to be a conscious person for it to come out good. With Jay, it sounded too forced. It wasn't natural. It's like Nas making a song like "Bling Bling".... "So Many Hoes" was 10x better, you know why, because that was Jay's element at that time. It sounded natural

Jay-Z's main flaw if u ask me.
The nikka's raps don't have soul.
Even in the songs where he gets somewhat personal about his past like "You Must Love Me", "Where Have You Been", and "Still Got Love For U" sound contrived.

SOHH ICEY...WE EATIN
shyt is nice as fukk
Exactly, I do not know how u can be the undidputed GOAT and not have a conscious side. ALl the others do. Hell, even Biggie had some of that. THis nikka Jay be on that str* up c00n shyt. My fav song he ever did (changes every day) is Momma Loves Me. Even on that shyt u be like damn Jay is that really the deepest u can go

Beat was kinda nice, reminded me somehow of Chrono Trigger... haha.
I'm going to be honest, this song was the reason I became a Jay stan. Back then I was naive. 
Looking back, I realized, I liked the song more because of Pharrells beat, more than I like Jay's lyrics. The vibe of the song was hot, because back then, Pharrell was king of that melo shyt (See Frontin
)
That's the only reason I started following Jay.
Honestly, this gets me every time. This dude cannot be soulful. I knew I wasn't the only one who felt this way. He reminds me of a goofball tryin to be serious.
Ol'I got my mojo back, baby! Oh behave--ass nikka.
