The Black Album is a personal classic, but this is easily the worst song on there

[Alvin]

I actually like Change Clothes

Sounds like adult contemporary rap

 

[King Kai]

I don't understand this opinion at all

At all

black album was a 5/5 classic when it dropped. these days i dont really want to hear most of it. i still get hype for Threats...I'm a Justify My Thug stan...but i dont care to listen to Dec 4th, Dirt on your shoulder, 99 Problems or none of that shyt ever again. I never liked Allure. Only the remix version on one of those Jay mixtsapes.

The crazy part about this whole thread is the defense of "Justify My Thug", which was looked at as a bottom tier Jay song from the jump and that song is only mentioned as anything worth talking about on here. Yet, a song that Jay Z STILL performs and is one of the most performed songs in his sets is the worst song on the album. The Booth stays having some of the worst takes ever.

I would say its the worst take ever, but some people have even ran with and co-signed the following:

2Pac "America's Most Wanted" has a wack beat

Biggie's "Juicy" has a wack beat

"Ether" has a wack beat

I will NEVER take this board's opinion on what passes for good production seriously. Posters stay clowning Nas's beat selection, I'm thinking this board is overrun with rhythm less, soul less posters who critique music more than they actually listen to and enjoy it. Basically, Pitchfork type white folk.

Breh who ever said that gotta be trolls both those samples are legit part of black culture and instantly recognized by old heads and millennials.

I refuse to believe that.

I will find the thread, but there were posts about it that even got dapped and co-signed.

Jay has some of corniest songs of all time if we’re being real. Nothing tops this

I love this damn song though.
Just Blaze is one of the GOAT's.

 

[I'm Blackman]

Rep. I never knew where TIm got the beat from.

 

[I'm Blackman]

Or am I tripping lol? It didnt come from this?

 

[Piff Perkins]

Dirt Off Your Shoulders is an undeniable classic record.

[CaughtInTWebb]

nikkas saying justify my thug? Was it the hook because the verses were fire

Has to be the chorus cause he spazzed on that song....the chorus ain’t even bad....song is fire...

 

[BO BARON]

yup
same here
u know two another timbaland beats i never liked?
the beats for "is that your chick" and "hey papi"
the drums on those beats always sounded weak to me

So you didn't like the most timbaland timbaland beats you nikkas are weird

 

[I love Latina women]

So you didn't like the most timberland timberland beats you nikkas are weird
