Then you have the R. Kelly albums, the Linkin Park album and The Carters album. Duds for days.
I’m cool with the Linkin Park album
Hov gotta a few really bad albums.
If A Written Testimony counts as a Jay-Z album it's probably his 7th or 8th best.
Yea it aint great. This the case for lots of his projects tho. But when he is great he is great
But he still did it all without a pen
No I.D. on the track let the story begin
it's like Jay Z doing watch the throne without kanye, thats why it's so boring. the album sounds like a ye album but i was surprised to know he had no credit on this one
Hated it at first, revisited it a few weeks ago and I kinda liked it
I like it bro. Never got the hate nor will I ever. Just Hov tryna do some different s***
idk bro I actually rly fux with it, it has some mid no doubt but it's a solid album imo
Vol 3 and Kingdom Come are worse imo but its definitely in the bottom half of his discography
You guys are tripping Vol 1-3 and BP3 are all good albums
Vol 2 was even considered a classic upon release for its impact
It’s def a bottom tier Hov album
All his average albums got the same structure though, half amazing/half unlistenable
BP3, MCHG, and Kingdom Come around the same level of quality imo
I never understood the production appeal either. S*** sounds so 2013
What sounds/production on MCHG sound of their time
Curious to know bc it’s been 7 years since then and we can look back at the production trends of the time and notice the patterns that didn’t seem as obvious back then
The production is decent but his rapping and subject matter is so boring and lacklustre. Listening back to it after all these years, it should be vilified the way Kingdom Come is because it's much worse. Nickels and Dimes is a great f***ing song tho
Heaven, Crown, JayZ Blue all subject matter that Jay had vulnerably dipped into and got praised for on 444. Yes, there were about 6-7 tracks that should be removed. But half of this album is very good JayZ incites. But you prolly already knew that.
