Official Jay-Z's "Allure" produced by Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo appreciation thread

[JQ Legend]

He said "Krissys of the world and Tiffany Lanes"

Krissy as in Jim Jones' Krissy

But yea this song was pure brilliance

And kind of appreciation thread doesn't have the track?

 

[KravenMorehead™]

I'm like a Russian mobster, drinking distilled vodka
Until I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's real..
Peel the top up like a toupée, mix the water with the soda
Turn the pot up, make a soufflé

*please blame on the son of the mornin, thanks again*

Soon as the bass drops and pharrell starts singin

The beat is so "fly" like I'm 30,000 feet in a jet, but Jay spittin so grimy on this shyt. It's bragging about the grimy shyt, yet he's remorseful. Like yeah, it's a fly lifestyle but it's emotional havy

It's in the same category as a "It's a Shame" by Kool G Rap



Don't mean to thread jack, but Kool G Rap's lisp had him flowwwwwwin on It's A Shame. nikka was so fly wit it

"This is the end of 'Carlito's Way'....." is the perfect description of this song

Big tune

The greatest hip hop has ALWAYS been cinematic. New hip hop aint cinematic. That's the problem.

Shooting expensive videos, hiring models, having artsy camera angles doesn't make your song cinematic. It's the beat, the emotion behind the voice, the aura of it all... that's cinema.

And guess who in modern rap is the most cinematic rapper?

Spoiler: let's a build a palace

That "explosion" sound on the beat

that is exactly what takes the beat to the next level

 

[Michael's Black Son]

 

[Formerly known as...]

[DreadBrown]

The allure of breaking the law
Was always too much fkr me to ever ignore



One of my fav lines of all times

 

[BROWARD]
