Maybe it's because I'm not a Jay Z fan, but I found it kind of disappointing.

Honestly sounds like the same commercial bullshit mainstream nonsense that every rapper spews out all the time. Nothing revolutionary, nothing new, worst Jay-Z album 5/10.
Seriously, almost 80% of the MC's out now have succumbed to the same shit techno beats, gasping after every bar, and flowless style of music that it's ridiculous.(J.Cole and Kendrick Excluded) Even Snoop dogg has turned into a reggae artist who collaborates with Miley Cyrus and shit. I'm black, but I'm really hoping someone like Eminem comes out and shows the mainstream how to rap again.

Has Jay-Z ever written any lyrics that any 8th grader could just as easily have written? This whole "businessman, business, man" brilliance can only be described as embarrassing idolatry. Seriously? This placement of a comma is treated by kiss-up music critics if it was of Shakespearean quality. Please!
Look, let's be honest. This guy can't play an instrument, can't read music, can't sing, and doesn't even write the "music' to the stuff he puts out (as with all rap performers, he buys "beats" written by others). His lyrics are clever in the elementary school sense. In short, this emperor has not a stitch of clothes on and yet he has made millions by those who pay to admire his latest fashion. What exactly is this fella's talent? Somebody please explain.

Massive Jay-Z fan, Thought it was shit.
I don't give a fuck about how hard his life is being a billionare father, there's no need to have a verse about the baby cunt every track.
Born Sinner is a way better album!

the production went hard as fuck though, still a sub-par album though but i'm glad jay is still putting out music.
"tom ford" is a banger

Agree with all of these so far. I normally listen to Jay-Z because he stays away from the annoying beats that most rappers have adapted to these days, and the annoying lyrics. (If you dont know what I mean listen to lil wayne, meek mill, etc.) This was completely different from what I expected. I am disappointed. The Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt are amazing and not one song from Magna carta fits in with those.

I guess you missed his last 2-3 albums.

All of these albums get so much hype, and turn out to be shit. Meanwhile, artists like R.A. The Rugged Man are releasing revolutionary albums (Legends Never Die) and you never hear a word about them. I understand that separates the underground from the mainstream, but it's just sad imo.

I'm aware of Relapse and Recovery, but I'm saying this because it seems hip-hop has reached the peak point of the shitty beats and mediocre lyrics, and the genre needs something like the best selling artist to create something that stands out and so to speak "snap everyone out of their senses".
