One of the first songs I ever bought on iTunes as a kid.

Not a hate thread but I really think this song has some of funniest lyrics ever. Still don’t know why Jay dissing autotune was gonna lead people to commit felonies / why it would offend his “political connects”

Production was excellent.

Jay Z stayed having delusions of influence though... the whole world went back to auto-tuning right after

Your colors too bright, your voice too light

Yeah the beat itself is sick lol. Real production gems on this album like (especially) Run This Town, also Young Forever and On To The Next One

Yupppp

BP3 - Magna Carta era for Hov is almost like a fever dream. Least he locked in for WTT but outside of that there were some gems but holy moly some of these were some stinkers

one of the worst songs ever

Thank god Wayne saved that beat

Classic

All it led too were all the auto tune users laughing Jay z off as an old man yelling at a cloud

Autotune still running s*** to this day I’m afraid

Wayne refused to let this amazing beat go to waste

Great song

People over exaggerate 09-13 Hov being bad like crazy lol

Maybe you just love mid?

No they don’t lol. Especially for MCHG, which I really enjoyed at the time but in retrospect the critiques of the lyrics were totally correct.

Some of the least effort an all time rapper has ever put in their work. Insane how he let beats like Somewhereinamerica / La Familia get wasted like that, his verses are demo tape tier

No Ceilings was such a moment in time man

that mixtape era never to be seen again

this song was the best thing to happen for autotune

Hot take: Empire State of Mind is actually a great song and compared to a lot of BP3/MCHG his bars are solid on it imo

Or maybe I have a different opinion

Its so exhausting talking music on here sometimes lol

I mean fair enough lol

MCHG is def the worst of the 3 albums I never liked it in real time but I went back and listened to it last week and even if its disappointing its not a terrible album

Its definitely listenable imo and has some good songs on it like Picasso Baby, F***withmeyouknowigotit, Beach Is Better

I actually dislike Picasso baby including beat but I think FWMYKIGI is hard af. Tom ford too tbh

Yeah I like Tom Ford too i forgot about that one

Run This Town (Wayne Version) is the greatest hip hop song OAT

streaming and clearance really killed the whole rapping over other niggas beats. wayne the only one keepin this type of s*** alive

need dedication 7
