G.O.A.T.

FIRST!!wow that shit was nice. It seem like he was touchin his RD/Blueprint roots there. Lotta coke talk too.

This nigga’s finished. Give it up.

Eh. I’m glad he’s not doing the whisper-flow anymore — that shit was downright lazy on Kingdom Come. Not that great, but at least it seems like he’s trying.

featuring flex drops, as if that doesnt suck balls? and next week, featured artist, dj drama, yelling “dramatic!”

and, the entire kingdom come album = “been there, done that”. obviously this is a response to this perception, either that or it’s an old track. sounds like a track from after the “un” incident to me. what the fuck?

Damn Jay went back on this ish. Ish is Fire

Jay-Z with the 80s type flow is soso but not great. beat is ok, but not great. this track is straight but nothin special. its not getting me real excited about the album

HOV is backk

this was a pharell produced throwaway from the blueprint era. it has to be. the content is vague which is why they are trying to give it to us as new product. bullshit i say. i don’t believe it.

WEAKSAUCE.

the best ever that did it

IT’S COOL he took it back but the song is boring but is still cool at the same time?

Blue Magic Bitches

umimsorrywhat.blogspot.com

1st

1ST BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL crackin all the way frm Africa big shout out to ya’ll in the states but yeah its a hot track hov carry some mad heat!

weak lyrics + good production = average song

What is Jay-z is even talkin bout. This will fall way short of his 1st album

real good. definitely a step up from kingdom come.

hov carrying mad heat

this is kinda weak.

second!

the flows just a little boring, but Im hoping the album is dope, Jigga wont go out with nothing less than a classic to officially end his career.I mean Kingdom Come prolly wouldve been the last, but it sucked so hes gotta kill it now

How disappointing……

Oh firsts

Id like it better without that FUNKMASTER FLEX bullshit. It’s good doesent seem like a lead single.

I’d much rather hear Clipse on this Neptunes beat.

wack - how dare he compare himself to Rakim circa 87

Can’t wait for the movie.

Album, not so much.

Not impressed with the beat, but overall the song is koo.

Hovi’s home…

WEAK!!!!

its super lame unlyrical and boring.I hope its on his next album so it can get a extra smedium in xxl and his overating will be done wit so we can get back to rappers who have some type of connection with the listeners of this generation.

stop the hate it’s fire

Sound quality is too poor to judge the beat. The rhymes are aite, but Jay doesn’t utilize his great rap voice and instead raps in a monotone flow which hurts the track. After one listen, it seems boring, but further listens are warranted.

josh lame

for some reason, i didn’t expect much from the camel. and with this single, he proved me right. november 6th huh? can’t wait til the 13th!

This song is nothing compared to old Jay Z classics, but this is far better than anything on Kingdom Come. Had some good lines in there.

This is what I’m talkin about. Hov brought that hungry flow. Everybody hatin because its Jay but this is bangin. Only if Flex wasn’t messin up the song

im from da boot(louisiana) but i do like that 80’s style flow. jay z is one of only reasons i listen to east coast music.

RIDE THE GOAT

Wow, what song did you guys listen to? Flow is smooth as ever, wordplay is tight, he sounds heated and hungry, and this is the nicest Neptunes track I’ve heard in a minute. If the rest of the album is on this level, he gets his spot back.

agreed, thoreauly. “we don’t believe you. you need more people.”

YOU NIGGAS ARE HATERRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSS STOP IT!!!
STOP IT ALREADY!!

U DUDES THAT’S SAYING THIS IS WACK HAVE TO BE 90′S BABY’S THAT DON’T EVEN UNERSTAND THAT HE TOOK IT BACK TO A ERA THAT YALL WOULDN’T EVEN EVEN KNOW ABOUT CUZ U WASNT BORN YET. AND THE FLOW WAS HIS WAY OF GIVING PROPS TO RAHKIM FOR CHANGING THE GAME TO WHAT IT IS. SO BEFOR YALL START TALKIN ABOUT MUSIC DO YA HOME WORK CUZ THE BILLY G.O.A.T JUST GAVE YALL A HISTORY LESSON

BY THE WAY THE EAST COAST IS BACK !!!!!!

I agree that upon multiple listens it’s pretty nice, it grows on you

Yo, this song is cool. I think Jay is better on other’s people shit though. He had fire on that T.I. joint and on the “Big Spender” shit with Freeway.

I don’t know if it’s the crazy money or the hot bitches the old legends got, but one of the two is definetly fucking they swag up, I mean I just don’t see how a billionaire can relate to street/low class kids that hip-hop started from, I mean they made it and their lives and families lives are set till the world blows up, but please if your not gonna bring hot shit that takes time and effort just drive around in your spaceship and fuck hot bitches, but don’t rap if your heart ain’t in it anymore, I always respected Jay but I think his time has come to set that mic down, the street is no longer in him, thats fine he made it, but I’m not feelin him anymore, that swag/style/flow/lyrics all came from the hunger he use to have, he done lost that shit it seems like.

Jay Z . . Stay retired yo. .it’s a young southern countryboy’s game right about now big homie. Pharrel came off ‘dats about it.
SolutionsGlobalMedia.com aka SGM7.com
Love it or Hate it, Tell a Friend.

get off his old shit and stop comparing. his new shit will never be his old shit … so love it or leave it but don’t compare it.
i’m feeling it. i guess if you don’t like old school or you not from that era then you won’t know nothing about it.

another sub-par track from now a sub-par artist.

HEAT….

that is all

All you 90’s babies can eat a dick!!! What the fuck is wrong with ya’ll, this shit is straight FIRE!!!! You ignorant bastards can’t appreciate what Hov did on this track and that’s pay respect to the architect of all these artists….Rakim the God. But I’m sure some dumb ass on here is gonna say Rakim is wack, washed up and not relevant but that would just show how little you fuckers understand or respect this hip hop game. Without Ra there would have never been B.I.G., Nas, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, etc…..think about that before you start trying to get your little internet thug on. Most of you ignorant bastards are the real reason that hip hop is in such a sad state cause you don’t respect the history of it.

lmao..some of these comments kill me…some of you don’t have no talent but is saying this dude should give it up*blank stare* why ya’ll got some hot shit that ya’ll dropping..man just enjoy the best at this RAP shit ever you’ll all get it sooner or later ,later for alot of ya’ll

Read his interview! You people are crazy you have to see the movie to understand what he’s doing. Hello he said he was inspired by the movie!!!

AINT NOONE TRYNA HEAR JAY Z THE FAGGOTS WACK ASS SHIT
STOP POSTING WACK SHIT AND LEARN TO READ AND WRITE, BITCH.

yo for real all you lil gay i mean lil wayne lovers need to respect the GOD MC for real… you young fucks all need to be put in a hole and blown to pieces cause all yall wanna do is snap your wack ass fingers and rock out like a gay ass rockstar… i am tired of all these wack ass southern artists puttin out trash and callin it hip hop… we need more jay-z’s and nas’s…. cause if that rockstar bullshit and that WACK ASS ay bay bay shit is the best yall got hip hop is in big trouble… but its really just these young stupid ass cats who think that shit is cool… you young fucks kill me with all that bullshit… but at least jay is back… ITS YA BOY!!!!!!!!!!! HOVA DA GOD!!!!!!!!!

Yo anything JAY spit about crack and money is ill. You haterz don’t listen you want some diddy bop Bow Wow rythmes then go buy Solja Boy. Maybe the flow will be more “exciting”. When he said, “I got to dumb down my audicnce to double my dough”, he was talking to you fools…

Damn Jay, you let us down with this one. Your A&R should be fired. Listen to Reasonable Doubt and Black Gangsta and then holla back at your public. We’re trying to give you love but we need that real. Wayne would smash you if this is your lead single.

Jay took it back to the old school… I’d rather hear this then most of the wack stuff that’s on the radio like Ay Bay Bay…

I’d much rather hear Clipse rap over this Neptunes beat.

I wouldn’t expect lil kids to understand a 80’s concept. These comments just go over my head because I’m supposed to believe kids that listen to Jeezy and Lil Boosie and think they hot?! “I’m afraid of the future yall respect the one who got shot I respect the shooter.”

HUHHHHHHHHHHHH whoever said this song has no lyrics is an idiooooooooot…..more times all you know is basic english and u cannot comprehend what hes sayin… go to school and listen to your young joc ..faggot

this shit is not hot and the album has nothing to do with the movie he is trying to market this trash off the movie buzz i cant knock his hustle for trying make some quick millions from some of you suckers that cant wait to buy his album.

Thi shit is so sad… It’s not even about coming up in the 80’s or 90’s period. Good music is good music and Blue Magic is mos definetly a step up from Kingdom Come which I’m sure any Jay-Z fan appreciates. All this negative feedback is unwarranted. Jay-Z on his worst day would body any of these southern cats (minus ‘Kast, face, and a few others) and their further degradation of hip-hop with a bar or two. Stop lying to yourselves.

Purple Hulk…..Ok, let me get this straight…you use that words “ain’t” and “tryna” and you have the fucking audacity to say people need to learn to read and write?! Oh, I’m sorry was audacity too big a word for you? Do I need to dumb myself down for you, like Jay-Z does for you ignorant bastards? You are a perfect example of why the future of this country is so fucked up. Little kids like you would rather spend their time trying to be internet gangsters than trying to pick up a book and actually learning something. Here’s a little bit of advice, before you telling others to learn how to read and write I suggest you pick up a dictionary yourself. Hell you might even learn something that will ensure that you won’t have to say “would you like fries with that?” for the rest of your life….

stop hating the GOAT…you young fucks don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground. Finally hip hop comes the fuck back….he should be number one on everybody list. Any Jay track is better than all the bullshit that comes out these days. Rewind that shit listen to the lyrics, the intracit rhyme flow, the juxtaposition shit kids the nigga on top of his game. Nov.6,2008 you mutherfuckers will be on the KING OF NEW YORK’s balls. so cocksuckers take one for your team.

[...] Also here is XXLmag.com’s breakdown of “Blue Magic” and its musical inspirations, lol… [...]

U KNOW RAPPERS READ THEIR BLOGS RIGHT? JAY JUST POSTED UNDER THE NAMES NIGGARACI, PUERTO ROCK AND BROOKLYN. THE OLD HEAD IS CALLIN YALL YOUNGINS. SORRY JAY, BEYONCE USHY-WHIPPED U, U AINT WHIPPIN NOTHIN IN NO KITCHEN HOMEBOY. GIVE IT UP MJ ON THE WIZARDS

I’m a huge Jay-Z fan but I’m not really feeling the song, not that it’s bad, it’s just not good. With all the hype surrounding this track and project the last couple of days I think Jay fans expected a little more, but Jay-Z is imfamous for putting out bland lead singles so I’m not that worried. By the way, to all the people dissing Kingdom Come, that was a really good “Grown” up album! Stop hating on it! I thought the only problem with that album was Jay had some rust and it showed because sometimes he sounded like he couldn’t catch with the beat and the other problem being the production and flow of the album was off, but the writing was great and very grown wich I appreciated. If your between 14 and 21 then I don’t expext you to understand alot of the things on that album, I wouldn’t either at those ages nor would I want to, but don’t diss it because you don’t understand a fuckin thing he’s saying.

Sounds like some old LL Cool J. Not hot at all.

jay jay jay what the hell is wrong wit u!!!! no big homie time to take your ass back in the booth and give me a jay z track because this right here is death not def. d.e.a.t.h !! dont do this to us u a go getta now give us our shit or nigga give it up

I’m fuckin’ with it!

Wow, what track did most of you guys listen to? Flow is smooth as ever, wordplay is tight, he sounds mean and hungry, and this is the nicest Neptunes beat I’ve heard in a minute. If the whole album is on this level, he gets his spot back. Remember when he announced that “Black Album” was going to be him going back to his pre-”Reasonable Doubt” state of mind — that album didn’t turn out that way, but this song delivers on that.

No, it’s not only those darn youngn’s that don’t like Jay’s new material. If anything, it’s the kids that only know the name and not the material that would think this is something fresh and above par. And no, this isn’t better than even HALF of what’s coming out currently. Jay is a legend, but that’s just how it goes folks.

There’s never been a nigga this good for this long
This hood, or this pop, this hot, or this strong
With so many different flows there’s one for this song
The next one I switch up, this one will get bit up
These fucks, too lazy to make up shit, they crazy
They don’t, paint pictures, they just, trace me
You know what? Soon they forget where they plucked
they whole style from, they try to reverse the outcome
I’m like - TOUGH!

-Jay Z “What More Can I Say?”

do u niggas listen to the words or just skim through it.
get wack ass pharrell out your songs Jay thats played out.(fuk the haters let em bump there piss poor weezy fucks baby in the ass music)Jay Z the best rapper alive maybe not the hottest right now but the muthafucking best fuk the rest

this song is just a teaser,it’s real oldschool with that swag that only jay could put on it. you have to listen to the lyrics,have we forgotten that hip hop is about lyrics. ol boy shatters any rapper with just a few lines of a song. can u name 3 rappers that are better than him,more succesful or more talented. NO. he is the GOAT. he has changed the game so much that u can only compare him to himself. How real is that. listen to the lyrics. the kingdom come album was not his best,but the lyrics are on point. he has nothing left to provemhe is just expressing himself. love it or leave it alone.

“This shit is straight crack!!!.. ya’ll lil niggas dont kno shit… ya favorite rapper looks up to hov… ya lil shits wouldn’t be bump’n NO lil homo( Wayne) if it wasn’t for JAY… nigga bottom line its a Rap HOV IS BACK”

Most people that are Weezy fans are also Hova fans..

the people upset with this track are Jay’s overly fickle fans, and the haters that always come out to shit on anything Jigga does.

The track is nice. It could be better. I’ll wait for a CDQ release.

NO MATTER WHAT JAY IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE PERIOD. NOBODY CAN TOUCH HIM…THERE IS NO RAPPER OUT THAT CAN GO ALBUM FOR ALBUM WITH JAY…COMPARE JAYS CATALOG TO ANY RAPPER OUT AND JAY WINS HANDS DOWN. NONE OF THESE WACK SOUTHERN CLOWNS OR THESE FAKE NYC HOMO THUGS CAN’T EVEN HOLD JAYS MIC. FUCK YOUR RINGTONE SALES!

Jay is a legend, we all know that.

Still, that doesn’t take away from the fact that this track is underwhelming. I mean, I see what he was going for with the 80’s type steez, but this one will have to grow on the kid.

I’ve been fuckin wit Hov since the start, and this shit is dope!! It got a old school feel 2 it!! And jay was spittin that shit!! American gangster will go hard! Kingdom come was dope 2 I guess niggaz didn’t like it cuz it actually had substance 2 it!!

Okay… i have listened to this 3 times now… im listening to it now… i can see how one wouldn’t like the song but i can also clearly see the reason why one would. And thats what concerns me. Hot shit is hot shit… wack shit is wack shit. Its easy to see whats what. However when you have a lukewarm response to the music thats the worst of all. People instantly forget you even exist. Now thats impossible for the best rapper alive but - he better wake up! In this time in hip hop you HAVE to connect with the listeners (no matter the ignorance which is rampant right now) I dont think he completely does that with the new audience. Of course im from a different era of hip hop so i can connect with this and of course im a hova fan so this song makes me happy to hear it. 8/10 for me

THIS IS SUPER TRASH AND ALL OF YA’LL KNOW IT.

It’s a narrative of the movie you dumb asses, You have to see the movie to see what he is talking about. The Movie takes place in the 70’s. You guy kill me first you said Kingdom Come was over ya head then he comes with the street flow and now he coming another way. You guys must really dig the new music to not hear lyrics been spit. Once the movie come then compare the cd to the movie. The begining and the end of the song is all from the movie Original Gangster. STUPIDS

BIG UP JAY

ITS THE ROC

BASICLY WHAT IM SAYING IS THAT ALL THIS MAINSTREAM CREWS ARE DYING(G-UNIT,DIPSET,THE INC)AND ROCAFELLA STILL GOT THAT FIRE 1ST KANYE, NOW WATCH JIGGA SPIDER MAN CLIMB THE CHARTS AGAIN, AND HE DOESN’T HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING DOPE OUT COS IS AVERAGE HIS AVERAGE IS SICK AND HIS SICK IS CRACK.

PEACE

Ya’ll niggas is unbelievable! Shit is a cool 1st look at the American Gangster CD and ya’ll niglets is just lining up around the block to hate. Maybe it’s cause you might not be able to relate to the old school flow like an OG like me but, um, please tell me whose dropping shit today that’s witty wit the wordplay like this? I give up on ya’ll, fer real!

Im not a Jay fan but that Retro flow Is hot. Everyone sayin this song Is boring had to be born like 98-99. You just don’t get the concept. Hot song Camel man.

I didn’t listen to the Jay track…

I’d rather listen to Rakim… or even En Vogue

Not The old Jay but the dude is still iller than any other ni99a out. Who’s really spittin right now NOBOBY! Pay homage bitch ni99az So to the haters DIG A HOLE FUCKAZ!

Word Dig a big hole!!

This song would have been classic if this beat wasn’t terrible. Jay leave Pharrell alone. This is a leftover beat from the Clipse album.

this is an average song. jay-z keeps comin weak with it. he doesn’t have it in him anymore.

Oh yeah I could flip a couple words/three versus like the nerds/goes over ya brain makes haters insane/My rain from my anger, is bullets from a banger/Stop haters in they tracks then fly off the hanger/I’m gutter but a thinker since I took up chess/So the question is when he’s gonna take off next/In three steps I felt pain had a dream of pleasure, woke up now I’m out seeking gold buried treasure/None other than key call me key to the street/You tryna lock me out the game I’ma open the beef/Its not fair but hear me clear this year/beef is like a barbeque man I gotta be there/(don’t try to bite that one, give credit if you think its due) 1.

the realest dude to put in down fuck all the haters ya’ll used to these lil boosie shit and commercial shit listen to the lyricals man.

I genearlly don’t respond to blogs. But, after hearing this song on the radio I was excited to hear the praise for it on xxl. However, I was dismayed to see a lot of negative comments.

Not considering the overly negative comments, which generally just suggest an obvious bias, it seems that many of those comments ignore a few key points of this song: first range. This is generally outside of anything Jay-Z has ever done. The fact that he has such a natural 80s style flow generated by someone who created for Hip Hop in the late 80s what Nas, Biggie and the Wu did in the early 90s, suggest the full range of his talent and the tools at his disposal.

Blue Magic also illuminates the current battle being waged by hip hop artists and audiences. As a collective, hip hop heads can be stubborn and refuse to allow into their pantheon of stars or even the marketplace of ideas the motives of dudes that fall outside of their comfort zones. Old schoold purists (that probably are more appreciative of what Jay is doing on this song) are in many instances probably quick to criticize the southern movement. Newer kids, the authors of many of these negative comments, see Jay’s attempts as stodgy. But the track is actually recommending that we accept both. That is, despite where Jay generally falls on the spectrum, he appreciates where he came from. Its variation from his original flow shows the diversity of the genre and that both can be great, that hip hop encompasses Rakim, Jay and Wayne at the same time.

To suggest that it sounds boring is sort of like suggesting the point while also ignoring it.

I’m FEELING JAY’S TEMPO ON THIS TRACK.

IT REMINDS ME OF TOO SHORT WITH SOME INTELLEGANCE AND EAST COAST STYLE.

LISTEN TO THE TRACK AND CHECK JW’S LYRICS HE LACED.

FIRE

Jay u did it again…u make it christmas in november thanks

It plan an simple Jay can remake a Whole cd with primo spiting fire and people will still hate. You can’t please everyone. Dudes out here don’t know what they want new Jay old Jay or Jay period. A lot don’t like his music because he can adapt to any era. He brought you hits mainstream, Now he bring it back to the dope game based on a movie propective and you hate. He is giving you a movie narrative the title name speaks for itself and kids hate. I am going to buy the cd and play it and listen to words making sense to the movie. That is like NAS, Mos, or anyone who makes sense to the beat. Every Jay albums is different if I want the same cd I would get Jeezy, 50 etc… every Jay CD is different it’s called evolving. You simple minded people. Just like how everyone hate Lupe when he is the hottest MC That is from the new generation of so called rapper. HATERS. GO GET HOVI NOV> 6

Got to give it up!!! his ability to paint pictures is elegent!! Those that dont know this song is formatted for the movie American Gangster… So now listen again and give it up!!!

uhh ohh……..I feel the magic. Every year around the time when Jay drops you hear the hatred. Regardless of what you think of the song you know the album is gonna be crazy. I think the problem with jay now is that people wanna see him lose. Once the Patriots won so many rings we wanted to see them lose…then the Lakers, and let’s not forget the Bulls. All this hatin’ that yall are doing is just building more talk about the album which is gonna make people interested. Keep it up……and oh yeah, the track is bananas

That beat is basic as hell and why is Jigga flowin like Kanye???

That why he’s the best mc thats ever done it

Beat was pretty good until Pharell had to fucking sing like a bitch. Jay-Z is over the hill. Luda would have killed this track.

DAMN THIS FOOLS DONE. YOU JAY FANS DONT GOTTA PRETEND U FEEL THIS. YA SOUNDIN JUS LIKE YES MEN

Hov is a true legend. He can make anything hot either it’s old or new school.That’s the true definition of a super star who keeps creating and emulating real art. He said it right the great one HOVA. Respect greatness.

Anonymous!!!!!! Straight up, that shit was TIGHT!!

OFF THE HOOK!!
OFF THE CHAIN!!
SICK!! ILL!! DISGUSTING!!
FIRE!! HOTTER THAN THE DEVIL’S FART!!COLDER THAN GW’S HEART!!
CRACKIER THAN CRACK?!??

sorry ran out. That shit was crazy though. I almost thought that post was from Hov. For real.

Blame Oliver North for Iran-Contra. You dudes who don’t know your history would not get that line. As well as blame Regan for what he do. Reganomics. The dude is giving you a history lesson. Oliver North was that dude in the government he was a D-Boy of another level. Hovi the GOD.

not even so so, its just trash HOV give it up you dropped the ball for to long you forget your steps, im a big JAy fan so this is embarrasing please dude stop

The is how it is suppose to be done. Looks like we are returning to the roots of hip hop, which is different from “Rap”..Fire

Classic Hova

i understand what he tryna do its just not hot…the lyrics arent amazing…the beat soso…its great that he show respect but the song itself aint appealing

[...] Of course, less than 48 hours later, I found out that if anything, my wild hunch hadn’t gone far enough, when the New York Times broke the news that Jay had already secretly recorded most of an entire new album inspired by the upcoming Denzel Washington/Russell Crowe flick American Gangster. NYC’s venerable radio DJ Funkmaster Flex debuted Gangster’s lead single “Blue Magic” last night on Hot 97, and high-quality versions are already all over the ‘nets. So how is Hov’s first new cut since the last time he un-retired? [...]

where the drums
with big butts shakin
hip hop history in the makin
successful cowboy
call me troy aikmen
a eighties baby
virginity broken to
forever my lady
my flow is lazy
but i could change up
like shady
my bad marshall mathers
lyrics sooth my throat
like lathers
takin one step at a time
like ladders
and what you got to say
about my flow doesnt matter

Fire .. stop hating.. go to defsound.com to here a clean cdq version.

whoever is sayin that the track is weak lyrically is retarded. flow matches the beat perfectly.. and the beat is ok.. the beat is growing on me.

Hov is back

U KNOW RAPPERS READ THEIR BLOGS RIGHT? JAY JUST POSTED UNDER THE NAMES NIGGARACI, PUERTO ROCK AND BROOKLYN AND A BUNCH OF OTHA FAKE NAMES. THE OLD HEAD IS CALLIN YALL YOUNGINS. SORRY JAY, BEYONCE USHY-WHIPPED U, U AINT WHIPPIN NOTHIN IN NO KITCHEN HOMEBOY. GIVE IT UP, U MJ ON THE WIZARDS. AGAIN, ALOT OF THESE POSTS IS JAY HIMSELF, DEFENDIN HIMSELF. IF IM WRONG, HOLLA AT EM HOV

I like Jay-Z alot, but he kinda dissapointed me with this one and Kingdom Come. I actually think the beat is kinda lame. Its real mellow and it goes nice with Jay’s flow. I think he should retire after this album unless he comes up with another “Dead Presidents” type of song.

I cant listen to the song right now, but I predict the young protege GOAT, Lil Wayne rapin the instrumental. I would rock both versions though, because I been a fan of hiphop for over 25 years and I judge artists on their own merits, instead of dissin other artists and their regions to boost my favorite’s subpar attempts. What does Boosie, Jeezy or Soldier Boy have to do with Jay or this song? Oh yeah that pt guy above me sounds like a label rep or Pharrel, Bleek, JAY!!? LOL!

N Cred that was a dope verse, the soothin throat lathers line kind of makes me uneasy though, Bruh’mayne. LOL!

shit sucks

Oh yea I could
flip a couple rhymes
just put the beat behind it,
and bounce to this Brooklyn
talk then rewind this,
Lines is blue
like notebook paper,
Fresh outta school man
lets talk some green numbers,
The Son of a hussler,
got the summer to get it,
The force of the poverty
escorts me to spit it,
Take a pic in double 6 months
I’ll double my worth
enough to free Jena 6
and later the black curse uh,
Let that sink in
The black Lincoln
in the black Lincoln
its all syncin.
(Don’t bite that one neither)

BOO BOO—This what your body pushes out.

I wish he would promote other artist before himself though. I mean Beanie, Freeway, Chris, and Peedi gotta be looking like WTF?!? Seem like somebody not doing they job.

You ignorant bastards can’t appreciate what Hov did on this track and that’s pay respect to the architect of all these artists….Rakim the God. But I’m sure some dumb ass on here is gonna say Rakim is wack, washed up and not relevant but that would just show how little you fuckers understand or respect this hip hop game. Without Ra there would have never been B.I.G., Nas, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, etc…..think about that before you start trying to get your little internet thug on. Most of you ignorant bastards are the real reason that hip hop is in such a sad state cause you don’t respect the history of it.

Disapointing!!!!!!

Yo MAXWELL thanks. Yeah man, all I need is a booth and a mic. If you ever find out how to get that post it on here and I’m down. Here’s another 1.

Oh Yeah I could flip
a couple words
and get on to that money
Since I was born
late night my nickname
been sonny,
toothpick in the corner
of my wisdom tooth
my wisdom misused
while I chilled on my stoop
I gotta get up get out
and get somethin
and stop frontin,
and accept to get bucks
start buckin,
The cat is too lyrical
verbal myrical
And never fall on my
knees unless bein
spiritual,
I want the Nobel,
For flowin so well
for peace I’ll probably
get signed on double XL,
And i’m livin the life
I got the soldiers
Who like to pop
so much they throw away
the holsters,
I mean cmon
Its natural like Lebron
supposed to be on
the block but my word
is born like his handle is on
point, so is my song
and my slam dunk lines lookin
so dead wrong,

(Don’t Bite, Holla at me, What you think) Feelin Blue Magic. Its a hot radio joint. We’ll see what the real single turns out to be. 1.

what can i say but he getting it. but do we really need to know what he getting or how he getting it? keep yo dreams alive!

Blue Magic is hot because Jay is talking like the hussler he is/was. Its almost like Denzel Washington is spittin. Jay is killin it wit the metaphors in a way that ONLY he could do. You can’t imitate the history and the phrases that he’s giving. Thats why its untouchable, timeless, and rare to hear this piece of history that is never written. I’m interested in this cross marketing scheme. “Can’t you tell that I came from the dope game”, Thats a hot line with the echoes and all.

I guess it happens to everyone eventually. Jordan, Ali, Jerry Rice. Eventually all the greats reach that point where they just can’t bring heat anymore. Looks like Jigga might be at that point. This shit is so uninspired. I get the whole homage to Rakim thing, but that shit might be cool for a deep album track, not for a fuckin’ lead single.

I’m an old school cat but to suggest that something is dope simply because it evokes a bygone era is dumb. Hot lyrics+hot flow+hot beat=hot joint. That equation ain’t changed in 30 years of this shit and it never will change. If even one of the three elements is not up to par, you don’t have a dope song, plain and simple. The lyrics on “Blue Magic” are okay but nowhere near classic Jay. The beat is boring as fuck and this flow just ain’t what Jay does.

I was just listening to “State of Grace” by Raekwon and thinking how dope it would have been if Jay had come with some shit along those lines instead of letting Pharrell fuck up his studio session like this. Oh well.

I ain’t too excited about this album. Hopefully the nigga proves me wrong.

GOod lesson sir. I didnt like the track at 1st but I appreciated the concept. The track is growing on me now. Peace.

why you fucks saying this is weak yall the reason why hiphop dead a nigga spit some crack gives us some hard shit and yall hate on it but then you say hiphop is dead when a nigga spit then yall say its weak fuckin tasteless people fuck yall

WORST BEAT EVER.

why?

this song is awful awful!!

y0. this goes hard. so hard.

dumb ass kids don’t know real music to save their lives jay-z is tha goat of this rap shit y’all hater’s can eat a dick no knowledge having krack babies

If yall dont like it, it costs you nothing, pay him no mind. Jay-z doesn’t even write songs anymore, he writes his name in the history books.

I wouldn’t buy it, or pump it on the radio. I also wouldn’t shut it off if it was on the radio or on TV. Es Caka.

this retro take it back to the eighties shit is the very definition of bringing new york back.how else to bring back the city but with the very flow and topic that defined the city.

this shit proves the versatility that jay has always had and why he is the best.his uncanny ability to do it like any other great that came before and after

you know lil wayne is somewhere now with a team of ghost writing spending the next three months writing lyrics to counter this on the next freestyle he does over a jay-z beat.

ama reserve ma comment until i hear d LP.
