Jay gave Ye a whole album worth of material w/ WTT, wanted to move away from leaning on him so blatantly heavy while Ye was on the Yeezus vibe/era was really it. Plus, this was when they started floating out their “beef” to keep them in the media cycle convo.
Criminal that Ye wasn’t BUT FWMYKIGI verse WAS technically from Living So Italian and Trav prod/verse on Crown made up for it. So the fans at the time gave no f***s
GOAT SUMMER:
Good Kid, NWTS, MCHG, & Yeezys in a four month run, f***in ridiculous
Good kid was October 2022 but yeah
Also KRIT and currensy albums were fire and mac
Holy Grail is one of the cringiest songs ever.
Easily the worst song on there.
Holy Grail is one of the cringiest songs ever.
Definitely not my favorite but it’s kind of a classic song. Everyone knows that s***
1. Worst rapping of Jay's entire career.
2. Underwhelming production for half of the album even with the big names involved.
3. Not many interesting song concepts.
4. Tom Ford is one of the most dated/mid singles from Jay.
If it wasn't a Jay album but a Ross or 2Chainz one, people would rightfully call it out for being mid. But because it's Jay, niggas wanna make excuses and rewrite history to cement his GOAT status.
Underwhelming production?
the promotion was wack, the "art raps" gimmick he was on was wack, the little concert staring at that old c***was wack, the "miley twerk miley miley twerk" bars over one of his coldest beats was wack, the best track being criminally short was wack,
uhhhhh what else
the criticism telling jay z that mchg was wack is what got us 4:44
The only real art rap song was Picasso Baby and maybe Heaven
Why is this narrative being pushed?
Underwhelming production?
Hit or miss is probably more accurate.
But MCHG had some of the weakest beats in Timbo's career.
His rapping is pretty bad on it
I don't always need a lyrical masterpiece
Nothing wrong just a fan summer album
Hit or miss is probably more accurate.
But MCHG had some of the weakest beats in Timbo's career.
You didn't like Picasso and Tom Ford production?
You didn't like Picasso and Tom Ford production?
Definitely not Tom Ford. Picasso is just okay to me.
Holy Grail is one of the cringiest songs ever.
So glad Ye removed it from wtt to making no church as the intro
