Ghost will have songs stashed that he can use.

‘Holla’ from Pretty Tony was recorded 3 years before the album was released, for instance.

If Jay can put the sample clearance numbers up for whatever Ghost couldn’t use before, it could be a decent album.

Yo.

I would say that Volume 1 and the Blueprint 2 were Jay’s weakest CD’s, and the I feel that Volume 1 definitively trumps Snoop’s No Limit days, definetly on beats, and I have to say lyrics. If you’re taking this stance because Snoop is your personal favorite then I’m sorry to sorry the general consenus is going to side against you. Critically, and commercially (maybe not Volume 1, I’d have to get exact numbers as of now on it) both of those Jay albums trump any two of snoop’s no limit releases.

Beanie didn’t surpass Jay on that. He just got featured on a million songs. and the reason he wasn’t as featured as much afterwards was because originally the Dynasty was compilation album, not a Jay-Z record. When he got back to making his own albums the guests per song went down. The Blueprint had more guests than ever needed, but it also had way more songs than needed, so it evened out.
I mean honestly take the best 5 Bean’s songs and put them up against the best 5 Hov songs, that shit don’t even out. I say take 5 because he doesn’t have as large a catalog as Jay. But if you went more songs Beans still loses. It’s cool to have your opinion, but generally there is going to be a small percentage, if any that agree with you.

It’s just the facts son.

On a side note I just compared Snoop and Jay’s album’s side to side…and umm No limit catalog = huge overwhelming loss
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That’s definitely a matter of your opinion. I’ll take those 2 Snoop CDs over whatever you feel are Jay-Z’s 2 weakest. Maybe over some you feel are his strongest.
For my listening pleasure, there are only 2 Jay-Z CDs where I seriously like more than 5 songs. Seriously

And I felt like Beanie surpassed Jay-Z as soon as he stole THE DYNASTY CD from Jay-Z and Jay-Z stopped letting him guest appear on his shit after that

YN, if that new “Ghost is Back” track is an example of whats gonna be on his “rushed” album then maybe we need more “rushed” albums by Ghost. That type of track is exactly what hip hop needs a steady stream of.

Funny as hell and wait for it……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………sad but true My vote for next to get a hair cut is ether wyclef or snoop dogg. Oh btw the game murderd snoop on his own shit ala eminem with fiddy snoop ain’t the best lyrical mc in the world to begin with. Ying Yang will make noise even if they brick. 3000 was the shit on UNK remix song jim jones ain’t sleeping on him ether. cool and dre eh they are so last year. just like the runners are already. And as for the game Reusing his ghost raps on diddys why not he wrote it diddn’t he???? And for talking out Baby againg why not he’s a bad rapper. internet nerds need to do that to other shitty rapper albums ala p diddy and others I may add….
Dr Dre will be on games album if not under a alias. wink 6 times. Ghost will brick only for the fact that downloading rules everything around me can I get a D.R.E.A.M y’all. word to wu tang. Peace Im out

As far as Ghost it’s gonna be interesting. He has such a nosensical style of rhyme it’s not like he’s ever going to be lacking for subject matter. I just wonder how he has enough material for another album this quickly but squandered all that bookdeal money because he wrote nothing down.

As for Free Max B., free him for what the chance to pull off the biggest fuck up all over again. His crew has arguably the biggest hit of the summer, definetly the biggest hit in New York, and he tries to rob some dudes, with the help of a hooker, the most trustworthy of professions? Kid can sing a mean hook, but before we start trying to free Max B. let’s keep Slick Rick out.

And some shit that’s on my mind, where’s this Saigon video that supposedly was shot? I’ll believe it when I see it. 80′s Baby where are you I need this album post haste. And to YN I can’t wait to see this alleged Nas cover get bumped for the Shady records cover…..tell me it won’t happen…..but then again, tell me it won’t either.

it’s far to early to put Wayne above Jay..for what two good albums?

and Beans, dude is just not better than Jay. He’s real nice with it, but as far as hooks and song structure go..Beans isn’t a hit maker.

i don’t think Dre did 6 songs… i think he did like 3-4 (intro definitely)

Marsha ain’t commercially viable, unless she pulls some “Jill Scott up in the club” type shit…

JD left Virgin cause they’re a sinking ship… Plus he gets bonus points with wifey- on some “…i quit my job for you boo…” shit. Fuck that lil’ nigga!

“Like Father Like Son” woulda been good minus Baby, so i think that was a good move on the “net nerds” part…

Don’t u really think Fat Joe is mad cuz he can’t even get radio/video rotation with a Scott Storch beat???

Or better yet that Lil’ Wayne has a version he does at live shoes where he spits a 16 on “make It Rain” and it’s WAY better that Fat Joe’s song…

Hmmmmmmmm…

And Nas’ new song is dope…

The trick with Nas, is u gotta “hear” the beat, but “listen” to the rhymes…

Case in point, the 2 singles he’s dropped have had suspect beats. But the verses were crack:

“…grind and hittin Brazilian dimes from behind…”

“…that’s why the God- parties with Juice models, they mob me- the gnarly Charlie Luciano…”

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

“…bitches want my chipped tooth back, still mack- so my kufi never gets smacked…”

LOL

Lil’ Wayne’s taking notes as we speak!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Dre never left this album. Jelly Roll? Urban EP Pope? Reefa? DJ Khalil? Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem? Who the hell are these cats and why do their (bangin’) beats have an undeniable Dre aesthetic? I don’t know exactly whats going on here but methinks some shady business (or great marketing) is decieving us into thinking the doc disappeared.

btw: the album knocks.
