Jay z was cringe worthy around this time with cacs

[rbksNgirbauds]

Dude is a sociopathic weirdo. His obsession with Nas to the point of fukking his baby mother is proof of such.

LMAO right. And then that picture of him tryna shoot gang signs with Snoop

Dude just weird. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, it’s just funny

 

[Greenhornet]

loved the album ... its good to show your versatility
the lady is pretty interesting too

name a Jay-z album that wasnt based off an overall gimmick ... realistically blueprint?

Reasonable doubt - mafioso
The Volumes - volume 1 carried over from that, volume 2 - rapping over annie, I'm in the struggle and not mafioso don, volume 3 we saw a flashier Hov
Black album - I'm retiring
AG - tried to be a sound track
444 - these are my confessions
MCHG - 808s and art show
Dynasty - This is my group who I will destroy immediately after
Kingdom Come - I'm old and still cool
Linkin Park Album - I want ICPs fans now
Watch The Throne - Kanye wants credit for being a rapper now so I have to include him on it


love them all besides that Linkin Park bullshyt

he such an obvious follower of Robert Greenes 48LAWS his just re-inventing himself.

he follows all the key aspects of power plays ... especially your absence being used for power moves.

thats why he seems bigger because he doesnt do interviews and media engagements like that, personally its too obvious and his so boring.

someone like 50 you couldnt tell he is a student of robert greenes, his moves are more natural and illusive.

jay said his the black brad pitt ...

What?! Man, hell naw. It's WAY more obvious with 50. Not even close IMO.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Is that Who He Cheated on Beyonce with?

I was just gonna say “fukk cacs” but this is a much more accurate description of the negative feelings I had toward the vid

the gentrification rap era (wasn't just hov, jesus christ) was hella cringe and the picasso baby video typifies that. it's so pretentious i wanna throw a maltov cocktail at hov, the white hipsters, and all the shea butters in attendance. it's that bad to me son lol. but what was interesting about that era was how it coincided with hov and beyonce's buddy buddy relationship with chris martin and gwyneth paltrow. yall remember this nikka hov wearing an alan alda sweater, and horn rimmed glasses while holding hands with that white bytch and skipping down the beach like a lame? i was like wtf is this nonsense, c'mon man, not errol flynn hot like heroine. even when rich damn near wealthy, white validation is still a reality for some of our brothers and sistas

wish i could find the video, but i'm gonna say.... maybe around 2011 or so? there's a video of hov and beyonce doing white hipster cosplay. hov is sitting at a bar on a stool with super slow depressing acoustic cac music playing (perhaps a coldplay record? maybe not, i would have probably know it but anyways...) and while staring into hov's eyes, beyonce is standing & singing along with the record smiling while swaying side to side like a soul-less non-rhythm having cac chick. the head goes from side to side and the hair flops on either side as she sings, lol yall know what i'm talking about right? her hands are on hov's knees the whole time and he's looking at her like a mayosapien male with an expression of bemusement and feigned embarrassment like, "aww c'mon kirsten, not now. not here. lemme just enjoy my micro-brew in peace..." *as he chuckles and shakes head at his wacky girlfriend kirsten knowles*

doggie it was so white hipster cosplay i wanted to throw up. i immediately clicked out of the youtube video and threw on 7 day theory to cleanse and nourish my soul

This was around the time he was riding the wave of Justin Timberlake's long-awaited album. Folks try to sweep the cringeworthy MCHG era under the rug. Need to be reminded of it every now and then

 

[Playaz Eyez]

That Tom Ford song was so ass

 

[Sad Bunny]

European Hov

The black Brad Pitt

 

[kevm3]

who is that lady

A high ranking witch who performs her ritual under the guise of 'performance art'. She was the one on that video painting animal blood all over the wall. She was also in a commercial for Microsoft, which promptly got removed.

Hiphop where dudes can complain more about 45 year old nikkas shooting videos at art shows in their city more than if they would wave guns and make soft porno videos.

It's only sad that it takes dudes from the hood so long to find zen and do whatever the fukk they like whether it's art shows, speaking properly or doing yoga on a fukking beach, not cause broke boys with nothing but their worthless opinion think that it's cool. He made a song with references to his favorite artists, brought out NYs contemporary artists including rappers and did it at an art exhibition. Dope concept unless you only enjoy black people when they mean mug, don't like people and wear clothes from when you were 20, 20 years ago.

Dope video, wack song

[RennisDeynolds]

Might be the reason we wearing masks now

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Is this classified as Euro Hov or Art Deco Hov

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Whole thread got me

Definitely the worst era of Jay-z.
