    I guess everyone has their own opinion cause I feel the opposite.

    I just never could get into most of what NAS has done for some reason.

    You added words to my quote...i did not say Jay sucks...i know you were playing around but I like Jay. I just don't think he is the G.O.A.T. and rap's savior like the critics and fans make him out to be.

    Nas is really good but has too much so so material that takes away from that greatness.

    Yeah I'm the same way. I personally think Jay-Z is certainly the best rapper alive, as he correctly proclaims. Plus, he is at the top of the music industry with Def Jam and Roc-a-Fella.

    Jay Z's best song in years was "99 Problems" and this is far from that. I would have expected something a little bit better with a comeback. Hoping there is another Rick Rubin produced track on this album.

    down with jay-z. as someone noted previously... his lyrics are becomming recylced. total bore...

    what yal gotta get is the new Hi-Tek album. $hit is HOT!!!
    also check out j dilla's(RIP) final album The Shinning. he is easily the best producer/dj in all of hiphop. i believe anyone in the industry would agree likewise.
    holla

    Did you know Jay-Z doesn't write his songs? He does every strong straight from memory. That's pretty amazing IMO because there lots of written raps that couldn't hold anything to Jay. I'm sure if he wanted to do a "lyrical" album, he could. But it's all about making money now and everyone knows that lyrics do not sell albums.

    Jay even says, "Let's go get'em Chuck!" in the beginning and there is a Flav sample in the song.

    But I am loving this song. That track is so classy and complex. Jay is working the track well, but he isn't really saying anything. The song just sounds damned good.
