Jay - Z Magna Carta Holy Grail


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

I didn't love this album at first, like many people, but it's grown on me.  Outside of 2-3 songs, I think it's really good.  I'm dying to see what Third Man does with the vinyl release... hoping it's not too crazy (read: expensive)  though.

I'm in the same boat, first few times I heard the album I didn't care for it all outside 1-2 songs, now it's been on steady rotation since, enjoy a lot of the tracks

Kanye's garbage is more interesting than Lay-Z's new album.

 

They're really REALLY different albums, but I like both.  They each serve a roll and have a certain place in music.  Kanye's is more of an artistic statement, more honest maybe, more creative.  Jay's is more accessible, more "fun", much easier to listen to, better for parties, etc.  Jay has always lived within the space of commercial mainstream rap and that will never change.  It doesn't make him lazy, most people don't get too far out of the box with their music.  Kanye, on the other hand, experiments like crazy and ends up being polarizing.  I think it's really important to have both.
