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.
Someone wrote this:
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.
