And the thing with the lyrics is...Kanye can't make Jay-Z rap better. From a purely rapping standpoint, he doesn't push Jay. At all. And Jay has these moments on this album where he zones completely and it's like "whoa"...but then he has these lazy Kanye-like moments where he's just rapping for a while and you can kinda tune him out. That's partly to him being naturally better than Kanye. So he's never going to have to go in crazy to better over the course of an album. It's easy.
That and it really isn't *that* personal. Even the "introspective" things lack a personal touch. It doesn't do anything for me emotionally. Sounds good. Nice millionaire music. But...we get it.
But...Jay snapped on Welcome To The Jungle. My lord.

Rather listen to this than College Dropout, I don't relate to poor rap anymore
