    I hope NaS does drop an album later this year... we can then compare that to this new Jay


    NaS last dropped an album in '12, Jay before this new one in '13. I think it's right you compare those 2... and I think Life Is Good was a whole different concept from 4:44... in terms of lyrical content

    please let that ? go. ? is like 50. they aint competing no more. they just trying to live

    Rap will always be competitive. Fact

    will it? what would be the reason for them to focus on being competitive now? if mj goes out and plays basketball is he being competitive?

    comparing is one thing. competing is another. dude compared a 2012 nas album to a 2017 jay z album because they had a beef in 02 and u agree with that huh?

    I compared Life is Good to this because both albums are seasoned vets doing grown man raps... Introspective & reflective... Heavily focused on their family lives with the lyrical content

    Was Jay or was he not taking numerous shots at others on this very album?

    That alone shows hes still being competitive

    Same way I feel about choosing Apple or Spotify over Tidal.

    If Jay would sale the damn album in physical or digital download form through tidal i would support the ? . ? this streaming exclusivity. Even when spotify and apple do that i think its stupid (like chance).

    Man ppl are way overrating this ?

    Some of its good, it has some whatever tracks but still searching for some stand out tracks

    Will keep listening to see if anything grows on me...right now it's a bit above average

    Smile,bam,Marcy me my favorite tracks so far

    There's no stand out tracks, no skip over tracks either

    I took the Puffy ciroc line as him saying if Puff has a Vodka line then why wouldnt he

    Doesnt he have armendale or whatever its called

    Sounds like they both racing to see who will reach a billion 1st

    but their lives don't mimic each other at all during the time that they dropped the albums. nas was divorced. jay talks about martial problems but focuses on wanting to be with his wife and be with his family. nas was saying bye baby. they both always been lyrical and lyrics are hard as hell to compare and its no way u can compare lyrically an album that hasn't even been out for 24 hours to one that has been out for 5 years. it takes time to catch everything they are saying. i mean realistically dawg these albums aint similar.

    Disagree....4:44 is terrible and I'm not a fan of legacy or moonlight

    was he or was he just talking? he was telling ? to look at themselves. we old heads often tell youngins to look at themselves but he also told us old heads to fall back a lil...don't act like tupac aint have a nose ring. so some stuff he sees as a bad thing and some stuff he is saying let the young boys live. no competition just spitting game

    Has nothin to do with their beef. Rap in general is a competitive sport so to speak, u want to be the best at your craft. They know their products will be compared to other top rappers.

    On track 3 now, who said some pages back that Jay wasn't bragging about money on this album? so far he has done a shitload of bragging.
