The fact that we know theres TONS of loosies that didnt make this got me hype. Album solid back to front we know he Jay keep a couple in the holster those Jus Tracks coming.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SAK SAK SAK that tag is H A R D LOL

Tjhis is spot on.
Sorry KTT, sorry Jay. at the moment this is how I feel as well.

Memories and Merlot
Better in Tune

all the other Act II leaks. Were more 'Universal'. Don't need a recruitment tape for NOI from him. Jay's most poignant moments are the personal ones. Prob why APDTA is the best on this 'album'.

Also, I'm not a fan of Jigga.

Anyways, I'm grateful and in awe that Jay is finally mainstream, and even more that he got a collab album with Jigga as his debut (so its not actually a debut solo, but it has mass appeal).

But I can't pretend I still dont want Act II. Rough drafts finished, final tracks recorded, mixed, mastered and mainstream released.

Pretty much how I'm feeling. It's great, I won't deny it. The album is pretty solid, the production is incredible - but it's still missing that Jay Elect "spark" some of the other Act II stuff had. It does feel like I'm left still hungry for the real Act II...

Great album, but not what I was waiting for. Plays too much like a Jay-Z collab album, with too much Jay-Z influence.

it is actually a debut solo...

IE: Raekwons OB4CL and Ghostfaces IRONMAN

Yeah, officially it IS a solo project, isn't it? Just heavily featuring Jay-Z, lololol. @HipHopNumbers on Twitter broke it down:

Jay Elec
11 Verses
2,530 Words & 266 Bars
52% of the words on the album

Jay-Z
6 Verses
1,735 Words (35%) & 186 Bars

Other Guests/Samples: 13%

WE GON SEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEEeeeeeEEEEE

Is there a difference between this Shiny Suit Theory and the OG version from years ago?

Sounds exactly the same to me

Hope we get some music videos from this album, but I doubt it

Told y'all Earl would tweet about the album

@beflygelt

Ktt engineers are the worst lool

Enjoyed the album.

The Travis part is so trash

Love the whole thing. The only iffy part for me is that first beat on The Blinding, idk why Swizz thought that was a good snare

@pneumonia I know you glowed up when Hov said "The gift that keeps givin' like Babushka, kush crushed up in the studio, rollin' Kate Bush up"

Put the biggest smile on my face.

The legacy lives on

Should’ve kept that in the vault.

You like the use of the Rihanna sample? It sounds so off to me but the verses are great. Love everything else.

Big Sean invented Quagmire rap

I love that sample. The first time I heard it was on really bad speakers with zero bass and I couldn't even recognize the time signature of the beat or anything I thought the loop starts on every rihanna sound/bass hit, so all verses sounded off to me for a few bars

But then I heard it on headphones and was like it's probably my favorite track on the album now tbh

It’s kinda overbearing after a while and I can’t stand the chorus. Hope it grows on me because the verses are brilliant and hovs delivery is on point.

I feel you, it's overproduced af esp with those sound effects all the time

Can't wait to listen to LUVTW2 today

You know I wasn’t the biggest fan of EA but he really delivered with this one. Outside of No Auto, I love all the songs. Vintage uzi with amazing production and features.

Yeah I saw you showing love to this one and it got me hype

Let me know what you think ❤️

Can't listen to anything else atm, I'm locked
