Once you get passed kanye's *****ing, the sound of the album is amazing. The influence of that album has already begun, trust me.

Gotta co-sign this... Gotta.

Especially them first 2 sentences.

I'm surprised Jay ain't hitting up NY radio shows...I'm assuming he hasn't since NT hasn't mentioned it

LASERS PEW PEW PEW
is my favorite part of the song
along with the beat
Kanye invoked the [living] spirit of Timbaland on that one

[kobe jordan]

got it for $10.00 at best buy but i havent had a chance to listen to it yet

 

[rico x hood]

Copped the $13.98 Deluxe Edition from Target today...been runnin it all day.

The bonus DVD with the interview was

. But I'm glad I got it though.

I didn't know he wrote the majority of the songs for BP1 in a weekend though, %%#+ bugged me out

Also, anyone peep the "IV" he had tatted on his finger? Wonder what the relevance is...

 

[dmv is rnb]

^has nothing to do with there being a 4th one or anything.

Him and beyonce are both born on the 4th. And got married on the 4th. That's the tat

 

[Hahahaha]

Hate....

what the hell kind of beat is that???

 

[superblytrife]

This album just isn't that good.

Definitely some great cuts sprinkled in there, but overall as an ALBUM, I'll probably never listen to it again the entire way through. Way too many"meh" tracks, IMO.

And I'm tired of the excuse of Jay's age, too. American Gangster dropped less than 2 years ago and that !%!$ was pure flames. This? Not so much. I'm glad I didn't spend money on this.

That 'IV' he has tattooed is a tribute to Beyonce.

It has something to do with him and her being born on the 4th day of the month they were born in, and also being married on the 4th day of the month they weremarried in....

[mco85]

After one listen album is solid, no reasonable doubt or blueprint, but still a good album

 

[sensaciondelbloque]

[lbj23navo]

You want BP, BA, BP2, RD, etc lyricism go back and listen to them. Sure it's a subpar album for Jay....but it's still a good album. You clearly didn't listen to Run This Town....because the references were pretty

worthy. Nor venus vs mars....pretty slick wordplay. The reason half of the people on here get disappointed by albums....is because they go in expecting a classic everytime. When it's just not gonna happen. Heck how many classic albums have come out in the last 5 years? Like 10? That's not a high number and it shows the lunacy of constantly expecting a classic.

I'm upset the limited edition wasn't at the Target I went to, but I saw three people walking out the store with the album before I even got past theshopping carts, at 5:20 pm. I bought that sum *+#$! anyway and a copy for my sister.

I been staying out this thread because of all the hateful and/or stan-filled responses that come with a Jay-Z thread.

Am I the only one REALLY feeling So Ambitious?
