Jay bit 50 "Baltimore Love thing" on this album with "I know"

With 50 biting Ali Vegas before that. -
Great (concept) album.
Party Life and Say Hello were/are my ? !! -
This album is better than black album
-
Jay's last classic and last good album before 4:44.
-
Funny cah Jay's erm let's call it 'spoken word' flow bothered me way more on this than 4:44.
I don't think it's as good as the IC does but it has some dope tracks -

What songs were this spoken word flow used on ? -
"No shame no sir Just big boats I'm tearin the coast up" -
The title track itself is still in rotation for me
-
Look... mind state of a gangster from the 40's
Meets the business mind of Motown's Berry Gordy
Turned ? rock into a chain of 40/40's
Sorry my jewelry’s so gaudy
Slid into the party with my new pair of Mauris
America, meet the gangster Shawn Corey
Hey young world, wanna hear a story?
Close your eyes and you can pretend you're me -
I keep trying to keep that album out of being a classic but I might have to just give in becuz it's hard to argue against it

Party life (as a matter of fact the whole album) reminds me of my last year of college. Most importantly of an Ex girlfriend who was a big Jay-Z fan. Great times! -

Sweet is the worst offender but Say Hello and Blue Magic have it too.

Give in like I did. . This album is a classic -
This was my freshman year in college. This, the cool and graduation got heavy play in my room
-
The end of "Jigga" and his last great album. Could low key consider this Vol. 4
As far as I'm concerned nothing in his catalogue past it even exists. American Dreamin is one of the best rap songs of the past decade and Pray is just vivid as ? . Dope way to set off an album. -

That American dreaming song had me in a daze everytime I put it on for like a month. Nothing like when jay is fully in the pocket song/flow wise. ? just comes off smooth n effortless when he in the zone -

Great way to open a song up -
Not sure if it's underrated, hip hop heads tend to give this album it's proper respect. I still don't know who the ? thought it was a good idea to put that ? "hello brooklyn" song on there. Probably top 10 misplaced songs on a album, any genre. Hands down. The album is top heavy, minus that one song. Pray, American dreaming, no hook, roc boys

survive the droughts i wish you well
-
great album.
another reason why Hov is the GOAT. -
"I'm on her bra strap she's on my ? /aint nothing wrong with that that's my biiiiiitch"

Great party song. Smooth muthafucka. Can't believe Puff did that. -
Overrated

This was Puffy's redemption for ? up Vol. 1
