Your arguments don’t sound like you love it either

live your truth if you like that sort of s***

It's a fun album

Never understood the hate

Same

People thought his lyrics were uninspired and lazy. The beats were carrying him. I personally like tho, but when you compare it to his rapping on his other projects…it’s a weak album

Nobody goes to Jay for fun music most of the time

It sucks

It's a phoned in Jay-Z album

we hate it because it went platinum day 1 via samsung galaxy preorders

I guess we were looking for a different sound back then, I remember when it dropped but it still sounds good 10 years later

Jay just wasn’t really trying on the album.
No true standout verses, and the subject matter is repetitive

It’s a shame because the production is phenomenal, and the album is super polished.
If you have those beats to an inspired Jay Z, it could’ve been a top tier Jay album. He would’ve glided over the whole album

The promotion for it was lame, I remember those Samsung commercials lol. MCHG was basically used to advertise Samsung products. One of the reasons it gets so much hate.

Great project

It's just a forgettable album, way below Jay's level

I just hope Jay keeps his discography to end on 4:44. That’s a perfect album to end a career on

The internet told us to hate a bunch of albums post his come back from retirement. Only one that I think is valid to hate on is maybe BP3 but even then it’s joints on there I like.

Probably because it's jayz but it's not super lyrical

Yes we do

So that’s why 4:44 is considered a classic and MCHG isn’t with very different subject matters and song approaches? I respectfully disagree that’s what people go into Jay albums wanting/expecting

underrated

I think MCHG and Yeezus are very interesting as a double feature. Reveals a lot about Ye and Jay's different approaches as artists

You're right, his only two albums. How could I forget

Just skimmed through it again and damn it really was well produced

Going to Jay-Z for “fun” music is just new to me but you got it lmfao. I listen to Jay to get inspired and for his bars
