"Dammmmn negro WTF Hov?"
"Smarten up Esco, I can release shit on a stick and go plat. And look who I'm fucking. btw where yo girl negro?"
"..."
"Damn Nas...you lost LOLZ"
But seriously, I heard Kingdom Come yesterday in its entirety, and I must say...ugh. 14 songs, and not one song is on the level of some of the best stuff from the freaking Black Album (which I liked btw). The production is hit and miss, which is unheard of for a Jay Z album; he usually picks killer beats. Just Blaze has a some very good production on the album, but most of the other stuff is very lackluster; Kanye's song is rather meh. And Hov brags about how mature he is and then starts going after
Dipset?
Jim Jones? Wow
Here's one of Blaze's best beats on the album. The song is ok just because of the beat though; Hov's verses are rather weak and behind the music.
http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=6124Fucking Chris Martin from Coldplay produced a song on it; it's not bad!
http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=6120To make matters worse, Jay Z gets a bunch of Dr Dre beats and barely does anything with them. Lost Ones is nice, and this one isn't bad. It's about Katrina
http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=6128Overall it's not terrible, but it's
very lackluster considering this is Jay's "comeback" album. This is not the album that the "greatest rapper ever" would release. It comes off like Jay is extremely lazy on nearly all the tracks, and his once rapid fire flow is gone on most of tracks. So far I've heard stupid ass Lil Wayne and Game rap over some of the beats on this album and kill them WAY better than Hov. WTF?
First Jurassic 5 releases a rather sub par album (by their standards, which are VERY high) this year, Lupe releases an album mixed with briliance and weak songs, Game (lol) releases an album full of repetitive bullshit, and now Hov drops a stinker.
Only Nas can save us lolz. And Common will be back next year. And
MAYBE Dr Dre will finally release Detox next year...
