Amazing album, really love the “rough” aesthetic this has. Caught Their Eyes is my favorite on this
overplayed the f*** out of this when it dropped, revisited and its still so so good. Title track is probably my favorite hov performance, the way he pauses between lines and the conversational style just wow
I wanted to hear Kill Jay Z so bad when Sprint dropped that ad. It lived up to the expectations too
Top 5 Hov album. Looking back this might be AOTY that year. It’s def between this, Flower Boy, and Saturation
Modern Jay Z Classic
Incredible album. Kind of hope rappers follow this trajectory towards the tail end of their career just thinking about their past and how they're mellowing out/maturing

I’d love Kanye to do this. He has tons to reflect on but I think he’s too focused on remaining “cool” and wanting to let the antics speak louder than the music to do this.
