Honestly, rough love sounds completely out of place on this project lol. That’s the one song I feel could be removed and the project wouldn’t miss a beat

Patents of Nobility is a braggadocious track

Jay ain't spittin on Dinner at Tiffany's and 1,000 Lotus Pearls

Then you also have

New Illuminati
Bonnie & Clyde
Letter to Falon (in a creative way)
Road to Perdition
Welcome to Knightsbridge

That's a pretty big portion of the album

And some other tracks have at least similar parts in em too. Most of the other songs you mentioned have been out for ages and I've already overplayed them

Idk lines like "I walk on water like the ghost of Darth Vader" get old at some point tbh.. like, we get it

I think the fact that this was done in 2012 and sounds extremely fresh in 2020 is a great example of what timeless music is. This could’ve leaked in 2027 and not sound like a 15 year old album.

Think about how crazy of a 1/2 punch dropping this officially instead of AWT and then dropping that not long after. Because I feel like most of the hate for AWT is just the fact that it isn’t ACT 2.

I feel like moments impact our listening experience as much as the music itself does. So just imagining the hype I felt finding out AWT was a real thing.. I know it would’ve been 10 fold if it was ACT 2 instead. Especially after the initial “this s*** ain’t f***ing coming out, stfu” feeling. Because I got goosebumps listening to AWT the first time just off the spectacle alone. It didn’t feel real.

So I still haven’t really wrapped my head around this being real. Because even though it’s only 8 years old, it reminds me of the spectacle around those moments in music where it feels like the world just kinda stops for a second and pays attention. And I miss that s*** because it feels like it never happens anymore.

tl;dr - Nigga I can’t believe this s*** actually exists

You mentioned Jay not spitting on two songs but Jay produced these songs and they are part of the vision he wanted so you have to include them.

Letter to falon isnt braggadocious, even though I get what your trying but I disagree imo. But even if you include that songs its 5 out of 16 songs which is far from most of the album. And 5 out of 14 if you take out 10k lotus petals and Dinner at Tiffany's . Still very far from most of the album. That's why I said your factually incorrect, a lot has to be at least half or nearly half

It's been nice to listen to it at last but this is really just 6 new Jay songs 2 of which aren't finished.

Part of this is on me thinking this would never drop and overplaying every crumb but Real Magic and Bonnie & Clyde are the only things I'm walking away with from this.
