jay z been riding really weird pockets and when it works it sounds crazy but sometimes it doesn't go perfectly like that commission line

Amateurs rappers in 2022 are saying a whole lot of nothing so of course they're never going to have to cleverly fill out syllables for flows lol

Did you listen to Marcy Me?

Always felt like he was talking on a lot of the records

True he did amazing on this

sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t but it always works on projects (444, a written testimony)

he was able to ride this one

He is old

he does ride the beat he actually gettin creative with his flows now and not still rapping like its 2001

I know wym

Feel like he loosened up the flow a lil bit but it works. Like people itt said, it’s like he’s talking

At times it may sound like he’s stumbling over his words or trying to fit too many words in a bar. He can still get in pocket though

You can hear a difference when you listen to Shiny Suit Theory imo. He sounds a lil bit more in pocket and fits a lot of words/rhymes in a bar without going “off beat”. Not saying he sounds better but it doesn’t sound as scattered as some of the other flows on AWT or other verses he did throughout the years

end of transmission

He was but there’s songs where he’s flowing too

I was gonna say....Nas still slaying beats the traditional way and he's almost 50.

But Hov's new flow is cool to me though. He's really pushing the spoken word and quotables angle. I f***ed with his verse from "What's Free?" which had that approach.

Some of y'all really going over the top with this it sounds like HOV should be in a retirement home

best flow in a while

Shiny Suit Theory came out in 2010

just listened to the song, I see what y'all mean

that delivery on that commission line

what's up with you son

dude spilled his enitre soul on 4:44 and mf crying cause he wasn't on beat like the 2000s
the funniest part of the s*** is that he was literally on beat that whole album son lmaooo

Hot take

Denial

I get it, it’s just hard to follow sometimes
