i even tried listening again on Friday after taking several months off to see if maybe itw as a "just wasn't in the mood for it at the time" but nope. the flow sucks, the lyrics suck. and yet it got fairly good reviews, which surprised me.
Even "Run This Town" is a bit neutered - kinda pop rap like T.I. (whom I like btw), but it would have been a lesser song on The Blueprint.
ohw ell, guess I'll stick with listening to Freeway and Tech N9ne...

I dunno if it's a staple of every tour, but last summer w/ Justin they closed with it as a dedication to Trayvon which was very oh fuck you're trying to make me feel bad about hating this song now

the other day i was listening to Shaq songs on YouTube and a one with an old school Jay guest spot came up and sometimes it's shocking now to hear old Jay, he was SO GOOD, like he fell off so incredibly hard

not gonna deny dude got worse and the fact that RD/BP/Black Album are cited like they're his only dope albums '96-'03 is irritating but I always dug this the most out of post-retirement Jay. then again I haven't listened to it in forever

I take a little while...Bought this a year ago used, got around to playing most of it in the car a month ago, finished yesterday. Didn't get much of anything out of it, except for "Already Home," which I played a few time today. Pretty music, and when you're married to Marilyn Monroe and hang around the president, "They want me to go/I'm already gone" would ideally be the last line you ever write. But I guess he kept going.
