Jay-Z - 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'

[CoolJoe]

IMO, I have always thought Kingdom Come was better....

KC just falls off at the later part of the album.

Trouble, Minority Report, Beach Chair are three of the last four songs, and are all ill.

JayZ's last hot album is [/i]The Black Album[/i]. I agree with @NahSon .. .

Personally I think American Gangster is overrated (on here). A good album nonetheless.

Anytime 'PSA' comes on in any arena or club, shit gets loose. There's no song of his post-'retirement' that is even memorable or classic.

Tim definitely turned in some garbage for BP3, but he only did three songs. Kanye co-produced most of the album and co-executive produced the album. Two of the worst songs on the albums were the ones he produced by himself ("Hate", "Young Forever"). As co-executive producer of the album, he also had a hand in what was kept and what was left on the cutting room floor.

If one considers BP3 to be a wack album, who's mostly at fault for the quality of the album (or lack thereof)?

KanYe

There was Pharell, Tim, Swizz .. His normal collaborators who were more miss than hit with their input

Only my nigga No ID did justice on that album IMO . .

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

well that's not true since Empire State of Mind is his biggest record ever.

So were just going to ignore all of the other tracks he did co produce that were dope ... (Cos that don't count right?) and were also going to ignore that verse he gave jay on his single right?

It all counts, my point is that Kanye had a major hand in what many consider to be a wack album. Remove the Timbo cuts, and by your own admission, there's 9 dope songs left. Well, Tim only did three songs. Who's responsible for the three remaining songs that aren't dope? Two of them belong to Kanye.

Even Timbo agrees. look at him

He's like "Yeah you like that Terminator soundtrack shit?! This what they play in the year 3000, I got a beat I made for the homies on Cybertron too! I'm so fuckin futuristic even Daft Punk say I've gone too techno!"

Album aint Wack ...timbos contribution however definately Wack ...album ...no

And By my own admission ...I actually like those " kanye songs" ...where did I say anything about those songs not being dope? Haters was funny and that beat knocked reminded me of "the bounce" off BP2... And I included "forever young" on the 10 songs I would keep list

So I don't know what you talkin bout b...

BP3 was ok, nothing memorable other than Empire State of mind cuz it will be played at NY sporting events

BP3 is like Vol 2, to you hard core nerds it's probably trash but to the rest of the world and ''buying'' public it's the albums that took Jay-z career to another level.

If ya'll haven't notice by now, Jay has a pattern. He drops a album that pleases the nerds then he drops something extremely commercial to expand his brand. When you make niche music to your core you will fall off commercial (see Nas, DMX,etc), the reason why Kanye and Jay remains relevant commercially is because they break up the direction of their music every other album.

If history serves us right, Jay will drop an album for you nerds with this album.
