    My current favourites... I don't care for the other songs

    4:44 might be the best produced HipHop song I've heard this year. No ID was right when he said that he used samples as instruments...

    Marcy Me does remind me of some of the old NY nostalgia on Life Is Good. Back When or Queens Story (lyrically.)

    444 and LIG are different of course but the comparisons are pretty legit. I get it.

    Come to a realization that I don't like "? Jayz" or "Legacy". Flow is bad and production is meh. Skips

    I feel like his flow was bad to so/so throughout the album. That's the only part of the album that I feel is weak. I never thought Jay had the best flow, but his flow was always consistently good. This album kinda confuses me. It's like he didn't know what to do with these kinda beats or something.

    maybe its lost on me or im not a pure hip hop head or whatever, but i dont get the complaints about the lazy flow

    i mean, ? Jay Z and 4:44 literally sound like "one take Hov" after he's heard the beat in his head for a few hours then pieced together words and went in the booth. I dont think it's bad, but actually makes me like the song for what it is

    Others take it into consideration more than some I'm sure and I know I'm one of them. Like @the lonious monk said he's been consistently good with the flow for the most part but definitely not on this album. Could just be him gettin older.

    Song to me where he flowed best on the whole was 'Smile' but I thought the Stevie sample was too blatant...


    On some songs like 'O. J' he seems to be talking over the beat =)

    Why does JayZ say
    "new homies the reason I stopped drinking dos equis" ?

    He always mentioned he didn't drink beer. So what's the connection?

    I just tried some dos equis last night. was good

    Anything Tidal related you go on these tireless rants.

    From one CT brethren to the next.


    Shut the ? up.

    I hope Carter 5 is a Tidal exclusive so he can get a double fix on his favorite things: Wayne and Tidal.

    His head will probably explode

    The production has that same vibe. Those are my favorite joints off their albums too. Goatness.

    That's why i don't get why he is using the cheat code when pre MCHG he got all his joints to gold then plat without having to cook the books.
