Jay-Z - 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'

[Jabu_Rule]

You do all know that Britain was part of Rome right?

U mean the Roman Empire?

Some interesting things about the actual Magna Carta (dunno if this was already discussed in the thread, sorry if I'm late)

- It was made by barons to free the citizens from the king's oppressive rule

- It was not officially signed by the king it was placed upon

- It was annulled almost immediately

- It took other revised documents to create an effective "magna carta"

So... to me this sounds like Jay just named the album that cuz it sounded cool, cuz an actual magna carta in Jay's case would mean rules would have to be placed on him, since he is the "king" and all. Or, his "new rules" that he's writing would be rendered useless to, for and by the people he wrote them for. This is a whole album equivalent of ".38 revolve like the sun around the earth" in terms of its dumbassery. But props to Jay for inspiring me to dust off my old art history book.

[1of1]

Usually you have this much taste you're European

 

[Maximilyan]

Lyrics look promising, and im sure I havent picked up on all the double entendres etc yet.

So amped for this album. If the music is on point shit could be a classic. Gunna get my free download when I land in london tomorrow morning. Or might check how much the wifi cost on the virgin flight.

1. This guy is almost namedropping as much as The Game as this point...

2. Does he use a "knock, knock" joke in the second song..?

I think its generally understood that in the analogy the king is the record lables/music industry etc...

I dont see why thats so difficult to understand...

[nj2089]

thats one the beats on the album at the end ?

 

[Maximilyan]

I've heard that beat on more than one of these mini documantaries. So that leads me to believe that it is on the album.

By the way, what track is raekwon meant to be on?

@Maximilyan they're books with the MCHG tracklist printed in them. Roc Nation held a scavenger hunt that had searchers trying to find them. Some people found some, others didn't.
