Been listening all morning. Moved the needle from 'cool' to 'smooth af'

I like the bars for Ye in the opening but I don't see them as a diss tho. Neither do I see No ID being the producer as a diss. Literally the only one in the game that could have captured this sound outside of Just Blaze. Ye gotta prove he can do it again solo in my opinion

I see Tidal got military and student discount but does it have same extensive catalog as Google and Apple?

Cuz i mean switchin streamin services is almost as inconvenient AF. Gotta redo playlists, libraries, radios, it's just not worth it especially if the interface isn't really anything innovative.... i think niggas need more than a couple of exclusive albums to make the jump.

I can get pretty much whatever I want on Tidal. Beyonce, Rihanna, Kanye, and Jay-Z are exclusive to Tidal, and those are big artists. The music quality is also higher quality. And it's blacked owned. I'd rather give my money to hip-hop than Apple. Jay's using that argument now, but he should've been using it a long time ago, since that's why a lot of niggas signed up early on.

Apple music sounds like shit. If I wasn't on Tidal, I'd be on Spotify, which has good HQ stream. Making new playlists and libraries isn't very hard.

Apple music is shit bruh.. U ain't missing anything

Apple music is the best streaming format if you use i-tunes/have an iphone. I understand cats who own Android devices not wanting apple music. But Between apple music/itunes/my i phone i can easily have access to my music library, podcats, and my apple music streaming access seamlessly. Not to mention they have access to shit like ovo radio and more artists that have weekly radio content/playlists than tidal does. And if i want to purchase any album outside of 4:44 in a digital copy i can with apple music via the i tunes store.
 
Albums good not great, some of y'all boosting

Smile is the highlight - 2nd and 3rd verse

Far as draft picks, my name did not get called

Bet before I go I put a billion on the board

Hall of Fame Hov, I did it all without a pen

Y'all knew that was comin', I had to remind y'all again, huh?

Flyin' paper planes through the projects

Now the whole projects on my jet

Now you see the real in the front row

In every one of y'all televised shows

Super facts

Niggas switched sides, traded pride, we don't do all that

A loss ain’t a loss, it’s a lesson

Appreciate the pain, it’s a blessin'

I mastered my aesthetics

I know you often heard me wax poetic

'Bout bein' back in the Lexus

But trust me, that was nothin'

A nigga up in the hundreds of millions

I have no ceilings, ah, this that feelin', I'm that boy

Anita Baker's "You Bring Me Joy"

Slappin' out of the toy, the separation is clear

In my rear-view mirror, objects is further than they appear

Oh yeah, I was born with a pair

Playin' for high stakes

Norman Cake, he looked up and out of the Lear

How niggas can't relate?

Fuck a slice of the apple pie, want my own cake

Chargin' my own fate

Respect Jimmy Iovine

But he gotta respect the Elohim as a whole new regime

And niggas playin' for power, huh

So our music is ours

Niggas only own houses

Ours was, "Fuck you, pay me"

Now it's, "Fuck payin' me, I pay you

Put the rest away for Blue"

That blood money, I giggle at it

Can't even support my misses' habit

Jewelry shoppin' in Paris

All y'all jewelers should be embarrassed, huh

Blood diamonds drippin', we cute

I still ain't trippin', that's life, winners and losers

Drug dealers and abusers, America likes me ruthless

My therapist said I relapsed

I said, "Prehaps I Freudian slipped in European whips"

God sent me to break the chain

I'm the true and livin'

God in the flesh, the rest of these niggas is vain

A stain on the white suit, inferior IQ

Niggas'll rip your shit off TIDAL just to spite you

Ahhhh, what did I do?

'Cept try to free you

Niggas'll love you but hate you 'cause they can't be you

Dump 'em all in the bayou, uh

Everybody wave bye to the guy you thought you could lie to

This was meant to be a haiku, huh

But my story's too wide to fit inside the line

And too old, these that drugs

Heroin flow, I spaz on the stove

This is Hov, no flex zone, nigga, who lied to you?

Look, you a pedestrian

Don't ever question the security I provided you

Oh y'all thought I was washed?

I'm at the cleaners

Launderin' dirty money like the Teamsters, huh

Shout out to Hoffa back home, he in the church

When I heard you got booked, that shit hurt

Feared for you, bro, we know the system don't work

Take a young niggas freedom over some dirt

Yet it's legal in Colorado

Yeah, we deny

Black entrepreneurs, free enterprise

That's why it's a black market, that's why it's called "the trap"

That's why it's called "the projects" 'cause it's exactly that!

All these people was gon' kill me, heh

'Cause the more I reveal me, the more they 'fraid of the real me

Welcome back Carter, smile

4/5 for me. Easily the best joint he's done since AG

Even ma'ma Carter had some hot bars.

GREAT, AN OPINION I CAN TRUST...

I'LL GIVE THIS A LISTEN TONIGHT...

I HAVE SPRINT, SO I'LL BE ALRIGHT :+1:
 


i only listened once.....

not giving my review til after the weekend.

all i can say is that the album sounds like how the original Black Album was supposed to be; no singles, no features, no videos...just raps.
 
If this album is Jay doing his best version of Kobe and dropping the mic after Mamba out and legacy is the last I hear of Jay on the mic I'd be completely satisfied with this being what he retires off of
