Lol at lucifer using rap (album covers,clothing etc) to execute his master plan
Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil to be great at playing the blues. Jay did the same to be great at rap, why do you think it took him like 8 years to blow up? He didnt sell his soul til then

I'm really hoping that Jay finds his footing again, as far as lyrics are concerned. He's been actin' like MJ on the Wizards. Glimpses of greatness that remind us of his former status, but only slightly better than the rest of the field.

Not worried about 'Ye. Ol' boy has yet to let me down.

The room tonight featured studio set up, including mics. At least one song played tonight recorded at Tribeca Grand Hotel. #WTT

Kanye and Jay-z recorded whole album together, in same rooms. Didn't want to mail verses back and forth. #WTT

Jay-Z said began recording in england last year, then australia, NY, LA, Paris and NY again. Often in hotel rooms. #WTT

Jay-z said Kanye told him not to release BP3's "run this town" - kanye initially convinced it wasn't a hit based on reaction at bbq. #WTT

Jay-z talked about the collaborative process. Said it's always difficult, but respects Kanye's passion.

Jay-z, who recently passed elvis as male solo artist w/ most no 1 albums (he has 11), joked about going after the beatles record. #WTT

Jay-z said although he would prefer to release the album w/o a single, they would probably shoot a vid for song w/ beyonce, "lift off" #WTT

Quote from: carreralu112 on 2 hours ago

in general... the only way to describe this is castle music... imagine taking the swag of waka flocka.. mixing it with college drop out soul sampling... taking graduation synths and then giving it crack... holy **** my mind is blown... frank ocean songs were amazing.. yes songs... probably my favorite song was the first frank ocean song i think it was no church in a while or something... any questions u guys want answered?

EDIT REVIEW: (the songs are not in order jay says he is still doing the tracklist and stuff)

1) NO CHURCH IN A WHILE-sick beat with heavy drums... frank ocean sings a hypnotizing melodic hook ... jay-z has a great verse... idk if u guys want me to ruin the subject matter its pretty sick though ... theres a sick bridge with sorta distortiony like effects... sounds like what kanye did with bon iver on monster sort of... there were animal noises in the outro too... probably my favorite song on the album it was ****ing amazing

2) LIFT OFF- really good synths beyonce has a killer hook and kanye and jay both had pretty good verses on it i dont really remember them though... should be a mainstream success... all the ****es in the room when nuts when it was playing hahah

3) THAT **** CRAZY... HIT BOY PRODUCED its a ridiculous beat sorta like a better version of drop the world and more swagged out... samples blades of glory in one part quoting will ferrel at the beginning and goes "there is one song we will skate too... and one song only..." then the song starts... pretty dope verses from what i could tell should be a favorite its an absolute banger

4) OTIS REDDING... probably my other favorite song from the album... **** was amazing... soul sample for hook and chopped up the sample for the beat and it just builds up really well and is amazing... kanye has an ill verse and it is top 3 on the album

5) not sure of the name... mentions RZA in it so i think it was produced by him... there is a piano/sample driven beat... the sample is weird at first but it meshes really well ... its sorta a weird vocal effect (the sample) and i dont really know what it was but the beat turned out very well... one of the deeper songs on the album and kanye reflects on his wrongs in life and how he wants his kids to grow up ego free and loved by everyone and jay reflects on teh drug game

6) LIVING SO ITALIAN... ****ing amazinggggg... samples POR TI VOLARE!!!! no dj pauly d ... its just a really laid back fun song and its super good i really really liked it they just rap over por ti volare basically

7) WHO GON STOP ME ... (?)...This is where i got confused two songs were played in a row and i didnt know if it was two songs or just a beat change but i think it might jsut be one super long song... the first part is a cool soul sampke and ye and jay bounce off eachother... then the second part (possibly new song?) is a ridiculous club banger sounds like lex luger but refined and sophisticated and it just gets you so hyped and kanye has distortion when he says "who gon stop me" again and again ... really great jay verse on this song

8) MURDER TO EXCELLENCE ... sorta an african soul sample i would describe it as and it talks about black on black violence and talks about the murders in chi town and the violence in iraq... the beat switches up part way through i remember ... dont remember what the second part sounds like tho

9) SWEET BABY JESUS ... drum baseed beat with sorta airy zoned out synths layered over it ... frank ocean sings the hook talking about jesus and what not ... kanye has amazing verses on this song and has some good lines

10)WHY I LOVE YOU SO... least favorite song for me... mike dean said it needs work hahahha ... the beat is sick but the hook is kinda annoying ... jay and ye have good verses though its very mediocre to me...

BONUS TRACKS/POSSIBLE ALBUM CUTS

11) PRIMETIME ... sick piano beat kinda like a homecoming type thing... jay has an INSANE verse ... thats all i remmeber tho

12) he just played a bit of this one and it was a synth driven beat but thats all i got on it ...

(these titles are not all the actual titles i just took what i could figure out )

there may have been a song or two that i missed because i stopped writing **** down after the first time through cuz i just wanted to take it all in... one song had swizz on it thought i remember he was shouting **** out for a bit but it wasnt that bad

jay said they remade the album 3 times because "it was too crazy and we had to bring it down to a human level"

TMB is being mastered by q-tip as we speak
