I think sometimes hov does this on purpose, just to get the people talking and what better way than to just come in lukewarm on purpose. So that way when he does have a decent verse it's over hyped. Ya boy playing Chess not checkers
Cope.
At the small rate that Jay has been dropping music since 4:44, he should be slaying features at 3 Stacks or Black Thought level consistency. Hell, even Wayne level consistency.
In hindsight, that God Did verse was a bit of a fluke from Jay that made people think he was still in his rapping prime because I don't remember his other features like Love All, Neck & Wrist, and Jail getting all that much love. And those songs he did with Pharrell and Nipsey came and went.
I still would like to see a "victory lap" album from Jay before he retires for good but he's gonna need to bring back that 96-03 level of flow and emceeing back and limit the spoken word shyt.
