Forgot about farrakhan

That's what I'm saying, why I don't really believe the theory about him not being able to clear samples for act 2, this man has connections

oh yea of course or Jay-Z or somebody in his circle would've took care of the sample clearance. one thing people gotta realize about Jay is that he don't really operate on a normal plane of existence, he does things when it "feels" right so if the time don't feel right for him, he won't proceed

Yeah I think he just had a feeling that he wouldn't not been able to live up to the 10 year hype of act 2 if he drop act 2 so he just switched up

People have been quoting lines left and right what are you talking about? Also, who cares if Hov had the first verse lol

Right I dont know why it's that serious that jay ain't have the first verse

hope he does what Dre should have after Compton and just drop the other s*** within a few months

The Hov “Sir” verse on Blinding

Deadass he needs to do this no one would be expecting a second album
And I'm still tryna figure out what angela yee meant by he has more coming and things to do when his album comes out

listen to the intro of just blaze/erykah on act 1 lol they talk about this

gotta relisten, I always skip it lol

his bio on twitter is still "I got two things that'll move you" which makes me think he might do just that

I could be wrong but isn't Just Blaze like nowhere to be found on this? Makes me think he's saving his stuff with him for Act 2

I think some said it was always like that, but who knows, what if the magic trick was that he made act 2 disappear for 10 years and then reappear after another album would be goat but sounds more like a fanfic

In oldschool rap rappers usually have the first and the last verse in their song cuz its THEIR song. Nobody wants to get owned in their own song but jay aint worrying about that we can see with this album lol

Naaah, just knowledge of russian language

Thank You:D

I have a lot of different feelings about it.

will be glad to read them when you'll post them

you're the og fam of Jay E here

I'm not the only one, this is everybody's moment.

This really all i can listen to. I really love this s*** through and through and i hope Jay knows he has fans that love and support him. 10 tracks 40 mins is probably the most addictng length and format to replay over and over and still feel fully fleshed out

didn’t know this but i was trying to find when the guitar loops and i couldn’t . love how unique it is, reminds me of the randomness of jazz , especially with jay z’s broken hook. 10/10

didn’t want to be the one who said it. first verse alright. 2nd verse actually might be the worst jay elect verse i’ve ever heard

Except my favourite songs
But yeah anyway, is it just me or Ezekiel's wheel has a campfire 'vibe' to it ? Idk lol

not even close lol

compared to trolley stop that verse is a masterpiece
