Its cool not bad but not special either

Jay Z verse on Ghost of Soulja Slim ethered the whole project

That would be the best avy you've ever had.

One of my favourite of the decade. Top 10 maybe top 5

APIDTA is a classic

my avy tough as s*** lil boy

You are a 17 year old white boy from the Netherlands calling me a lil boy

These the only tracks I go back to

u dont like ghost of soulja slim??

Classic. Jays verses on Ezekiel wheel are great

some of hov best rapping on this project. jay elect was ass on it tho

The crib look like Zaha Hadid did it, nahah he different

you wish that were true

Man, look at my name in here. Solid work. A lot of people misunderstood the concept and let their expectations mislead them but listening to this with a clean mind and fresh ears can show you how skilled Jay Elec is. He’s a great MC. It also serves as a new phase for HOV and I love it.

Both verses are elite ngl but hov sounded so f***ing real is crazy. It felt like he was speaking directly to someone. Jay elec did crazy wordplay like try to rap it along with him and you’ll get what I’m saying

one of the best rap albums of the decade, that has aged better with time

Disagree completely cause when it came out I was not fw it but a couple years later I think it’s a masterpiece

I wish they didn’t include shiny suit theory even though it’s an amazing track and I wish they kept the cut Mach and Travis features but it’s still excellent regardless

APIDTA is one of the best rap songs ever

its as much of a collab album as only built 4 cuban linx

It's ok but it don't got replay value to me

Almost I feel like what helps B4CL is it’s longer and has more solo Raekwon tracks. AWT literally has 1 track without JayZ, but it is a shorter album so

Yeah.

Jay even veered from the topic on certain songs.

production & APIDTA are the highlights. jay z also washes elec all over it.. which is embarrassing for a comeback tape. the NOI s*** deflates most of the attempts at conscious rap and there's definitely merit to the claims that they just stole mach's steez for the project instead of featuring him on it.

Stole mach steez, how so ?

Also don't think the NOI point valid tbh
