ah, i can see that in his top 3, yeah - and having come around on Ross, Teflon Don is a good album too. besides favoring Jay Elec though, i opt for my track cause i feel like he's on that late 90's RR era flow of his, which ive missed the shit out of personally. back when i bought him being hungry & bodying any kinda beat you threw at him...the Teflon verse is like his modern flow but doing it right, id love to hear an album of that Jay. your American Gangster vote was the closest ive got to that.

 

honestly i don't mean to harp on it but modern jay makes me sad...he came back like Jordan, all right. that Takeover bar "one hot album every 10 years" feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy these days.

 

you hyped for Em on MMLP2? Nov 5th isn't far off, hoping we get something that fits better than Berzerk between now & then.

Jay-Z or, excuse me... Jay Z (no more hyphen) is a weird creature. I generally like everything he's on, but I don't know if he's dialin it in half the time, bored or I don't know. Sometimes he brings hot fiyah, but mostly it's eh. It's funny, though, even those "eh" verses are better than half the chumps out there. As far as his flow, he definitely has his eras. Three or four, probably, but I don't want to hear his old shit, to be honest. While not better, I'd rather just hear his CEO flow. It just sounds cooler. You can't deny, while there's been better albums, everything he did with MCHG, from the commercial to the Samsung release and getting those super-producers, it was pretty awesome how he did it.

 

I'm always hyped for Em. And Berserk is kinda growin on me. We'll see though.

it's too all over the place for me - i love Rubin bringing back that Beastie sound but it doesn't really fit Em. his flow though, that's the best it's been for me in a minute.

shit leaked tonight (think its on Spotify soon?)...damn, some fire here. first playthrough, im digging it more than XXX which got tons of love. Schoolboy Q was great on it too, hope his shit finally makes it out the door.

 

Anyway, top 3 2013 release for me so far.

Run the Jewels 2 is so far shaping up to be one of my top 5 albums of the year, cannot wait. since Kendrick kinda dropped the ball with his last single, here's Jay Rock from his team:

this just in: Snoop has given a grand total of zero fucks since roughly 1996

 

for real though: he took a shot at her, she tried to son him, he fired back. moot point now since TI handled it, but: dude's a legend, and she's garbage tier. he's also not the only one known to say reckless shit online
