Watch The Throne - Why I Love You

the ones where the guests rap more than jigga does

Truthfully, I want to rhyme like Common Sense, but I did 5 mil, I ain't been rhyming like Common Since



jay himself more or less admits that he's shit, i'd listen to like water for chocolate fifty times before putting on some jay garbage :)

I've always loved that line.

But I don't think it's admitting he's shit.

But whatver.

what's your problem?

Like Water For Chocolate is good. I like Resurrection waaay more though. And I like One Day more too.

then it costs you nothing
pay him no mind

awesome plz do!

thx

oh good. I was hoping for yr sympathy.

note to self: This is why you don't come here anymore.

those albums are sick too. i'm gonna be on the show hell on wheels and i hope i get to see common there

Be is wonderful.
Common doesn't really see Jay though. and i love both.

Reasonable Doubt - Dead Presidents II. he took a hot line and made it a HOT song. ;)
In my Lifetime Vol 1 - (Always Be My) Sunshine.
Vol 2 Hard Knock Life - Hard Knock Life.
Streets Is Watching - It's Alright.
Vol 3 Life And Times of S. Carter - Big Pimpin'.
The Dynasty - Soon You'll Understand.
The Blueprint - Never Change. this one always gets me. "i'm still fuckin' with crime 'cause crime pays".
The Blueprint 2 - Fuck All Nite.
The Best of Both Worlds - never heard this one, always assumed it's shit.
The Black Album - Threat. good call, NR.
Unfinished Business - see Best of Both Worlds.
Kingdom Come - Lost One.
American Gangster - Success. Jay & Nas on the same track. each one doing his best not to get killed and embarass himself. hah.
The Blueprint 3 - Death of Auto-Tune. people who call BP3 a sellout album forget hip-hop heads loved D.O.A, Thank You and Run This Town when it just came out.
Watch The Throne - Who Gon Stop Me. THAT OUTRO WHERE JAY STARTS SPAZZING! SOMEBODY CALL THE COPS.

admittedly i haven't spent much time with his "smaller" albums to really be familiar with much more than the singles.

should i rank my top 5 fav Hov albums now? RD > BP > AG > BA > Vol.2

and i shall not forget to mention i'm a big fan of Roc-A-Fella's early days, with Dame Dash and all.
Jay, Kanye, solo Killa Cam (Come Home with Me & Purple Haze), f'kn Diplomatic Immunity, Santana the Great, Freeway, The Dynasty, Bleek, Sigel, etc.
some of my fav music ever!

the albums with R. Kelly are mostly shit. Yes. But there's at least a handful of tracks between them worth hearing haha.

I actually really liked Blueprint 3 honestly. I mean "NY State of Mind" got kind of too much. And "Venus Vs Mars" and "Everyday a Star is Born" are kind of embarrassingly throwaway lyrics. But the rest of that record is pretty incredible.

oh and good call on "Success." What an opening: "I used to give a fuck / now I give a fuck less / what do I think of success? / it sucks, too much stress."

American Gangster is so probably my favorite Jay album so it's hard for me to really decide on a favorite track there.

oh and as far as Cam goes, Purple Haze is a total masterpiece.

BP3 would've been praised a lot more if it was released by any other rapper, it just pales in comparsion to AG & WTT.
and i already know Jay's next solo album is gonna be his best shit in a while. he saved all the best verses and beats from the WTT recordings for that album.

American Gangster has been growing on me a lot lately.
the vibe reminds me of Ross' last two albums (AG is clearly a lot better tho), Party Life makes me completely delusional for 5 mins every time.
"she's used to one million dollar vacations, fuck y'all gonna do with that?". :)
Jay's music always motivates me to do something with my life.
the part on Who Gon Stop Me where the beat changes and Jay starts doing that fast flow pretty much sums up why i love him.

have you heard Diplomatic Immunity? it's my fav Dipset/Cam'ron related album.
the production sounds like the Blueprint. Cam'ron is the best rapper in Dipset by miles, but Juelz manages to keep up with a lot of emotion and charisma.
"Who Am I" almost reminds me of one of those emotional Ghost tracks.

yeah I've heard Diplomatic Immunity, but I don't have it. "Ground Zero" is one of the best Dipset songs ever. I do have the 2nd volume. Which I think is excellent. That might be my favorite Dipset album.

fav song on every Kanye album?

College Dropout - Never Let Me Down
Late Registration - We Major
Graduation - Flashing Lights
808's & Heartbreak - Robocop
G.O.O.D Fridays - Christian Dior Denim Flow
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Runaway

College Dropout - Two Words
Late Registration - Drive Slow
Graduation - Can't Tell Me Nothing (or Stronger or Good Morning hahaha)
808's & Heartbreak - Amazing
G.O.O.D Fridays - So Apalled
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Power

"So Appalled" is so epic. that and "Devil in a New Dress" made it so hard for me to choose.
Pusha's performance on the album was unbelievable, dude even outshined Jay-Z, but his tape/EP were just OK in comparsion.
i hope he will step it up for his debut album.

other than that, the GOOD Music collab album is one of my most anticipated projects of the year.
this group has such a promising roster - Kanye, Pusha, Q-Tip, Mos, Common, Cudi, etc.
i will be amazed if Kanye will top Watch the Throne. this guy never stops, year after year.
