I just watched deadendhiphop's review. **** was comedy.
On Hot97 it sounded like he was supporting her ratchetness.

I do think his last verse in Holy Grail was to Kanye. He's talking about himself, as well...but, I think he's really speaking to Kanye.
He even references Illest ****** Alive.

The song is about fame bro. The ups and downs and how they aren't ups and downs as well
Could be talking to celebs as a whole

i think the performances are meant as actual art installations that will serve as the videos

I think im lookin too far into that twerk miley line..I took it as he has a major influence on pop culture still so miley (white folks) are jammin his music, then on party in the usa she says "the jay-z song was on" so she's dancin to his music, and her obession with twerking...im probably reachin with two of them

Sometimes new releases are as low as $7, but I guess since Samsung had Jay go variant platinum, Jay said F a special price for the physical release

You're def not reaching. Thats the whole underlying concept of the song/line.

I honestly don't know if I should be offended as a fan that he's finally opening up now.
I don't know if it's just marketing, or just plain too late, but it's damn near rubbing me the wrong way

I thought it was an obvious double. Pretty sure it was pointed out earlier in the thread how he set that up a few bars prior:
When I was talking insta gram, last thing you wanted was your picture snapped

No one has really ever asked him the tough questions before if you think about it.
Been about 15 years of Angie, Flex, Clue, Elliot Wilson, etc. slurping.
Charlemagne has the ability to disarm you with humor and sneak in the tough question.
The internet and his family life has humanized him more plus he doesn't have to keep up that God MC aura that kept people off his back in the 90s/00s.

ok. just so im not crazy. i was like
when i heard the line (mainly because i did not know about miley cyrus's real life twerk video)

The point of the Miley line (besides the fact that she's literally obsessed with twerking/twerk videos) is that she's a white girl and represents white america, but she's not afraid of Black culture. In fact she's even fascinated with and wants to embrace it even though she doesn't really "get" it yet.
As Jay said yesterday on twitter: "Miley Cyrus is the scariest thing to the old world. Because they have a Black neighbor and their daughter doesn't see color."
Young white kids getting down and embracing urban culture is scary to the old white establishment.

Yeah Holy Grail is about fame. The Dream helped with the writing of the song and he mentioned it's about fame in that video a few pages back.
