I was listening to Young Forever and I like it a lot. That's huge to me since the original song is one of my FAVORITE songs ever. But I got goosebumps orsomething while listening to it and looking at the last couple pics that Cashmere posted. Kinda powerful when that song, original or not, and those picturesare put together.
Thanks for that Cashmere.

No, he isn't.
Track is overrated IMO, even though its the best track on the album.
The beat & hook out shines anything Jay spits on the track.

Yes. Run This Town seemed like a Rihanna track, but after listening to it a million times and seeing the video, I can now see it as a Jay track but with heavy,heavy features. After several listens, Real As It Gets still comes across as a Jeezy track. It's not a bad track, but it could fit on a Jeezy album morethan it could fit on a Jay album. Hell, that's why it was Jeezy's first single. If this track was released without knowing it was for BP3, cats wouldbe talking about how ill TM103 was going to be, NOT BP3. Just take out the BP3 shout out from Jeezy.
Hate sounds JUST like a Kanye track/bonus track for 808's. I like the track a lot, yet something in the track makes me sometimes hate it at the same time.Overall, I don't see how it fits. Then again, 75% of this album is Jay talking about how great he is. What tracks on the album do you hear and think"Damn, this is Jay %$#*. NO ONE ELSE could do it this ill BUT him"? I hear some, but not many. Throw in Venus vs Mars because like I said before, itsounds like an LL track ...
Renegade was so ill and just fit. Maybe I say that because I love the album, but even on first listen, I loved that song.

It's already been stated that Run This Town was suppose to be Rhianna's song til Jay jacked it, just like how he jacked As Real As It Gets & Hate.A true American Gangster

I;ll probably end up saying this at least 1000 times before I retire from the music forum in 2097, but this album just proves how versatile Jay really is.While no one can please everyone all the way, Jay usually delivers something for everybody, at least in some part. Some of ya'll hate the songs I LOVE onthat album. Para ejemplo, Venus Vs. Mars and Hate are DEFINITELY two of my favorite songs from Jay's whole catalog already. And I don't really care forsome of the stuff that others have gobbled up (like Forever Young, meh...). Jay's ability to moderately please everyone is remarkable. Just like with thefirst Blueprint, we'll probably never have a consensus on what the best and worst songs are. I'm just reading through this thread going, "Really?Really? REALLY?" at all the mixed reviews.

He made a Blueprint, fammo. It's supposed to be as diverse as tomorrow. I agree with your first paragraph. Thosesongs sound heavily influenced. But he's Jay-Z. He's had so many different flows
Spoiler [+]
this one's for this song, next one I switch up, this one will get bit up
Hate is crazy dope. Kanye jumped that !+$% off ALL THE WAY propper and Jay raped that track.
I WAS NOT ready for
King like TI but in the Chi...LARRY.
Hoover? Hova... both are, American Gangsters.
You chose who's, colder..
Rappers get nasty in the booth but I'm gross
I can't even stomach myself, ulcer
Hore realer cause I'm closer
Had girlies in girdles weighing more than they supposed'ta
Poser? Noi sir... My hustle? So Russle
I stretch work, YOGA!
You know I got it down dog, Al roker, I used to knock pounds off
So it ain't NOTHING for me to knock nouns off
At these MCs praying for my downfall
They just haters,
I wave at you I'm so player...
that song is too three damn dope man
I love that song too damn much

"Wayne did a millie, 50 did a millie,
Ye too, but what Em did was silly,
the white boy blossomed after Dre endorsed him,
his flow on Renegade, %@!*!+@ awesome,
Applaud him"
This line caught me off guard
