that might be the first hov album i got on release. i was too young to understand anything he was talking about but i felt like he preaching to me the entire time and i hated it. i've grown to love it but man, i just couldn't understand why he was so bitter and disappointed in us at the time
He felt left out lol
50/Cam was running NY, Wayne was telling him he was coming for his spot, south got more popular
S*** I feel like that’s why he came back. He knew his legacy was in jeopardy. He ain’t wanna be forgotten imo
T pain run had started buzzing around then. Forgot 50 was still huge too. Pretty sure crunk rap and trap played a part too in it
you're right. idk why but i associate t-pain so much with 2008

We pretty much said the same thing lol
Yea Hov knew what was up

i guess he was as insecure as nas made it seem. i know he went for cam but he never fully addressed 50, outside of a few cheap shots on 30 something. that would've been an interesting back and forth
It was decent
Not straight up garbage but not a good comeback album at all, lowkey f***ed up his return. Bro was sounding sluggish lmao
I feel like American Gangster would be considered a classic if that was his first release after retirement. That was a return to form. He knew he owed us that one lol
Yea American Gangster>>>>>>>>>>
Imagine if he came back like that then WTT instead of BP3. I still like BP3 kinda because I was in 6th grade learning bout Jay z so it was my first album with him
We pretty much said the same thing lol
Yea Hov knew what was up
After Carter 2 Wayne knew it was his game. Em wasn’t as active and HOV gone lol he had to scramble some type of idea

Yea bruh
He was able to shift the narrative with each release and prove himself. He went out with Black Album which was a great album. He was on top of his game when he “retired” so it was all love at first (Best rapper alive since the best rapper retired)
Once the changing of the guard was clear he came back lol

It’s crazy Em didn’t want smoke either lol
Rappers were legitimately afraid of Wayne bc he was known for barring niggas up. But he was killing s*** in a new way. They knew they couldn’t do what they were doing before
Ye was one of the only artists that was keeping it 100 about Wayne
What a time lol
you could pick almost any ye verse from last year tbh. aside from wash us in the blood and go2damoon he sounds dreadful on every song he appears on.
this might be the worst he has ever sounded on record.

That’s why I f*** with Ye. Now look at them. The 2 most influential
so disappointing
kanye west and brent faiyaz should be fire just off those two names alone

Man wtf is he talking about
this thread is a reminder of how questionable ye is as a rapper. i'm gonna have to listen to LR or WTT to wash away the disappointment

never fully heard his feature
it sounds so bad holy s***
Most washed Jay-Z verse I've ever heard
his cool demeanor makes up for it
Ye post 2012
TLOP had some good focused verses from him
same with KSG as short as those verses were
but everything else...
his cool demeanor makes up for it
Sorry, that's another beat
Haters still ain't recover from the other beat
That's a double beat
Now that's a triple beat can't forget about the other beat
Heyyyyyyyyyy...........
Nas asking future how he got out of all that child support when nas paying like 8,000 a month
Lmfao 💀
