Jay-Z - 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'

[StillFaggyAF]

i hope timbo and pharrell produce most of it

So we're just going to act like Chad Hugo doesn't exist? If Chad of The Neptune's isn't working on the beat with Pharrell, then no. The Neptune's beats don't sound the same without Chad 's influence.

i didn't see Chad Hugo in the video........................i hope you know that they recently have been producing under their names not "The Neptunes"

c/s...Actually they havent produced as 'The Neptunes' in damn near a decade Lol

idk if thats true but yeah

This is the future of rap music, less time between annoucements and release, digital release prior to physical release and increased corporate inputs at the expense of record labels, you already see Google, Samsung and Scion enter the rap game, soon I bet reebok and nike and addidas will start directly signing artist/brand ambassadors

@ first bolded:

Name me another rapper other than Jay-Z that could pull this off...keeping in mind the #1 selling point for companies to do this is guaranteed return on investment (in a climate where A list rappers are happy to sell gold)

@ the underlined, thats basically a mixtape

@ The 2nd bolded, you mean like Jay z did in 2006 w/ Budweiser, for Kingdom Come? Ross had a deal w/ Reebok...better yet Jay Z and 50 was workin w/ Reebok in 2002...soooo, yea

Wait so this won't be sold in stores?

when you release an album in a short span you'll lessen the likelihood of a leak...plus labels aren't really making money off album sales anyway. mixtapes are doing better than albums right now so why wouldn't the music industry try to adapt

about the companies........there's a difference between a deal and and for example Busta Rhymes's last album which came out on Google and Harry Fraud's EP that was distributed by Scion

fact is the record companies are finally starting to adapt to the internet and album sales issue

when i say future.....................i mean future......not the rapper.........the noun

I wrote an article on this Samsung deal. Check it out leave your thoughts

Jay-Z's surprise announcement of his new album has been coupled with a possibly revolutionary deal. Could it be the way forward for music sales?

Yesterday saw Jay-Z make the surprise announcement of his new album “Magna Carta Holy Grail” during half time of game 5 of the NBA Finals between Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs. This was no ordinary announcement. It was made via a 3 minute advertisement featuring Hov in the studio with Rick Rubin, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell Williams and Timbaland, all working on the upcoming album. The release date of July 4th and the fact it was announced at the NBA Finals would usually be the big talking points of the news. However, the biggest surprise of the announcement is the fact that Jay-Z has struck a rather interesting deal with electronics giant Samsung.

Jay-Z is a stat stuffer. Why is he so concerned what gets reported? Aren't you happy with the money you made and the quality of music?

I forgot Jay is just obsessed with "#1 albums" and his manipulated legacy.

Fuck Jay-Z.
