It’s more like Hov said “hey, I think the world needs to hear you now and I’ll do whatever it takes for you to get your message out”

Man this shit is just cool to me. I was expecting 12 tracks of exhibit a and c type shit.
If this mfer woulda dropped 10 years ago, i think we woulda got that.
And contrary to the jokes, I still think Jay E was spitting but his pen game is nowhere near what it was. Shit his verse on shiny suit theory might be his best verse on the album and that shit 10 years old.
I cant even fully enjoy Jay Z on this cause I expected a whole different album for 10+ years.

That's him being humble but me personally by his standards he's a grandmaster too.

Why does Flux Capacitor seem off beat and not finished? That song is doing too much at once.
They didn't do my city right on that one.

I got this shit on right now and clearly this mfer shoulda re recorded some of his verses. @Mister B. was right as fuck. this some lazy ass shit. Like fam you made mfers wait 10+ years and couldnt even make sure your verses were crisp? Mfer mumbling here and there.
Ima have to run up on this mfer.

Why is old ass Shiny Suit Theory on the album though? That song is 10 years old.

Man wtf is this album??? Saw Ghost Of Soulja Slim and was like well shit if anything this shit about to slap....nah. referencing BG I Want It track was the only take away. Tried half the songs but this production wack and tf is Jay spitting random few seconds on multiple tracks like he got to hold Electronica's hand through it. Never was a fan of dude but this didnt help create a new eye on him at all.

Because it’s a dope song
Well for the record, I also released an album this week. It has 22 tracks and I'm rapping solo on every song.
So if you have to be a rapper to judge another rapper's album, I'm a rapper and I released an album in the exact same week as Jay E.
It's beyond comprehension why he released so little so late. Just to compare and contrast,
Paid In Full - Eric B & Rakim
Eric B Is President and My Melody came out on the same 12" single in the summer of 1986. I Know You Got Soul came out in the spring of 87, with the album, Paid In Full coming out in the summer of 87. Those 3 songs were old by the time the album dropped. We skipped past them because we were sick of hearing them. There were also 3 instrumental tracks on Paid In Full; Chinese Arithmetic, Eric B Is On The Cut (which had the same beat as Chinese Arithmetic) and Extended Beat, which was the instrumental for one of the songs on the album (Move The Crowd). When it was all said and done, Paid In Full only had 4 new songs; I Ain't No Joke, Move The Crowd, As The Rhyme Goes On and Paid In Full. Think over that, the Paid In Full LP only had 4 new songs. But people still call it a 5 mic classic.
Illmatic - Nas
Illmatic was only 10 tracks, one of the songs was an intro (The Genesis) and another song (Halftime) was two years old when the album dropped. There was also a feature (AZ on Life's A B!tch) So it was really 8 new songs, with one of the songs having a feature. But Illmatic took 2 years from the time Halftime came out to when Illmatic dropped. We were satisfied but I would have appreciated a few more songs on the album.
A Written Testimony
A Written Testimony doesn't get the pass that Illmatic gets. Yeah there's 10 songs, but half of them contain features. The music is dope, the rapping is dope, but there's something fundamentally flawed about the finished product. I'd like to see him release a real album in 2021.
Anyway, I'll give him 4 mics all things considered. It's really a 5 mic album, but for the reasons I explained, I'm only giving him 4 mics.
Anyway, here's a link to my album, which was released this week
