Versus was a waste of a spot on the album imo, 51 seconds for that shit? I can at least bob my head to La Familia.

 

[ohhhla]

LOL@ Tommy flaggin the hell out buttah_b's post.

 

[evoljeanyes]

Jay doesn't have a crazy vocabulary. He doesn't force corny ass metaphors and wordplay shit like coke Kendrick Drake and them. He'd just spits his verbiage with gems in between about whatever the fuck he decides to speak on.

I can tell he has a point to this album I am just kind of listening for it all to piece together.

He is flowing. He has beats. Oceans, blue, bbc, nickel and dime, heaven, they are all content based tracks that play to the theme of the titles. Everything else sans la familia is going to have to be assessed after you hear flow beat...then really pay attention to the lyrics. Its a good album.

The complaint with jay is always that he is so far beyond the snot shit so why won't he give us some more uplifting positive social analytical shit...but that shits for Shawn Carter that's not who he is as a rapper. This is where he gets to be that hood Nigga from Marcy who is telling off how far Ge came from moving bricks

La familia got expeditiously deleted last night.I couldn't tolerate that song that song is ghetto techno cringe worthy

Return this list back to sender. Tom Ford is FRESH. And Versus is a waste of time but Beach Is Better 8.5? Niggas is weird lol.
