Jay-Z - 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'

Little over a year ago I was in bondage / And now I'm back out here reaping the blessings / And getting the benefits that go along with it / Everything that's out here for kings like us / The reason why we like this this jewelry and these diamonds and stuff / They don't understand is because we really from Africa / And that's where all this stuff come from / And we originated from kings, you know what I'm saying / So don't look down on the youngsters / Because they wanna have shiny things / It's in our genes, know what I'm saying / We just don't all know our history so...

Oceans is that shit but album is a whole is average to me. Cant really relate to this billionaire baller shit Jay been talking bout for years now.

ok, but you can relate to the countless rappers who talk about living in the hood, dealing drugs, and killing people, right?

relating to music is a bonus...it's not a measure of how GOOD the music is.

Its a very exciting album on the first listen might even be up there with watch the throne

on the second listen it stumbles and you realize its kinda average

3rd listen okay I'm only listening to like 4 songs status

"I see elephant tusk on the boar of a sailing lady

Docked on the Ivory Coast

Mercedes in a row winding down the road

I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo

Before the Basquait show and if so

Well fuck it, fuck it

Because this water drown my family

This water mixed my blood

This water tells my story

This water knows it all

Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water

Go ahead and watch the sun blaze

On the waves

Of the ocean"

not a fan of frank but that hook is something else

I caught on to that shit midway thru first listen. One thing about 96-03 Jay, and even on AG, he'll leave some gems in his verses it takes a few listens to get, plus his flow was GOAT. The best thing he'll give you now is a metaphor here and there, which is cute at best. Like, "I don't even like 'Washing'tons in my pocket" or some shit like that in Oceans. Decent, but whatever. Shame too, cuz the production is stellar.

Most of the people you quoted were the ones who always critiquing jay.... Well lebong and elzho always is lol.

Bruh even my phone has cooled off. I can feel it lol Like i posted before, its SOUL AND LYRICS that make albums 'stick to ur ribs'. W/out that, no matr how 'dope' it is, it WILL wear off

I.e. Stay, Wouldnt Understand, Sing about me..those are not 'dope' songs, they are soulful, emotional records that u go back to time n time again.

Just fyi.
