All I'm gonna say is Jigga is back. It's like he released this just to spank Kanye and tell him to sit down. This blows Yeezus out of the water....not even on the same level.

I didnt like it, most tracks sounded too similar for me. The only song I really cared for was "Somewhere in America."

I don't listen to Kanye West but I got a laugh out of this. And unless Em releases a new record this year, MCHG will be the best rap album of 2013. |

For me, it's between Wale and Jay Z so far |

I honestly thought Yeezus was much much better than Hov's new album.

Look, I'm a huge Jay-Z fan. Reasonable Doubt and the original Blueprint are easily in my top 5. However, Yeezus took risks, for better or for worse. Its sounds unlike anything else in Kanye's catalog or mainstream hip-hop as a whole. Magna Carta Holy Grail sounds like...another Jay-Z album. If you tried to imagine what a Jay-Z album in 2013 would sound like, that's exactly what it is. Some of the tracks even sound like they were intricately crafted in a lab specifically to cater to today's trends and interests. Still great flows and wordplay from Jay, still some great tracks, but very little done to further the genre or Jay-Z as an artist.

Not sure if i can even compare the two of them jayzs album is great but just a rap album kanyes while recieving mixed feelings is a differant animal and as the insane eminem fan i am dont know how he could surpass recovery but i cant wait to see him try and that will no doubt be a classic regardless and hopefully album of the year

This album sucked, like most of Jay Z's stuff over the last 10 years. Tough to rap when you are married to the most beautiful woman in music, part owner of the Nets and now an agent for Kevin Durant. You arent gangster anymore bud.
Yeezus sucked too. Both albums are terrible. Not surprised either.

Holy Grail, Oceans, and Heaven were the only tracks that really stood out to me. Everything else is subpar and nowhere near the level of Yeezus, which was a disappointment in and of itself. I think Jay-Z has reached that point in his career where pretty much everything he releases is bad except to his real diehard fans, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that, for how much it was hyped, this album is pretty lackluster and below average. Nothing special at all.

"Used to rock a throw back, ballin' on the corner. Now I rock a teller suit, lookin' like a owner". Educate before you bash, my friend. Educate before you bash. |

I've enjoyed it on the first couple of listens through, but I think Yeezus has me wanting to come back far more often. Then again, I think it's almost silly to compare the two. Kanye is moving in a totally different direction.
With that being said, though, "Holy Grail" is one of my favorite tracks of the year thus far.

Eminem's next album is supposed to be out late fall. I expect to see Slim crush all.

Oh yeah, we're talking about MCHG! Almost forgot.
The album is solid pretty much all the way through, so far I've been through it about 25x since it leaked last week, but with the low quality rip I had, plus all the songs being in the wrong order really didn't help me get a clear picture of it as one whole cd. I do have to say Picasso Baby is the hardest track on the album.

Em is my favorite rapper, and Recovery blew my expectations away. So that may be a little premature to say an Em album will immediately be better than MCHG but I'm gonna go in with very high expectations for it. |

My point still stands, the album sucks, and Jay Z is getting tired rapping about the same stuff. Educate myself? You probably arent even old enough to remember when Jay Z was actually good. This album is terrible, his last bunch have been terrible. He is bored. He has nothing to "strive" for. Just because he has one line about how amazing he is doesnt change the fact that you can not be a hardcore struggling down and out rapper when you are a part owner of the Nets. Educated. |

First of all, I grew up on Jay. The hungry Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint Jay. So you can miss me with that "not old enough" crap just because most of the members here are kids. My point was that his raps aren't about being hardcore, struggling or being down and out. He's a millionaire boss these days and for the most part that's what he raps about. His lyrics have evolved with his lifestyle. Now it's okay to not like that but to say that "you can't be a struggling hardcore rapper" when it's not even what he trying to come across as makes you sound uneducated on what you're speaking about. And lots of his current songs are to the tune of that "one line", so it's not like I pulled it out of my a** or something. |
