JAY Z - Magna Carta… Holy Grail (OUT NOW)

[LIL_B]

White girls cannot twerk brother

[Mr Change]

Is Holy Grail hip-hop song of the year so far? What else is even close? Tennessee Love?
Am I missing anything that can even be mentioned in the same breath?

Holy Grail is definitely song of the year so far for me

However Tech's album is on its way

I find Tennessee Love to be a great song, but idk about hip-hop song of the year

I love the hook. Yela's singing is fantastic, and the beat is great. It's not even close to being the best on the mixtape, though.

@Miller It's a love song, nothing creative. Nothing new. No exceptional imagery, no storytelling, no exceptional lyricism. Even his flow is boring.

EDIT: I am a Yelawolf fan, and I'd rather listen to Daddy's Lambo than Tennessee Love.

First listen to the whole album I can honestly say that lyrically this is terrible. Production is really good but wtf is happening in hip hop, Yeezus as well is quite bad lyrically. If Em's new album has great production we know he'll kill them lyrically.

A couple of songs are good but can't get past Jay's terrible lyrics, you know how he doesn't write any lyrics down? I think he should start.

I'm a Jay and Ye fan too, I like Yeezus but where is the lyricism!?

EDIT: Was a bit premature, wrote before listening to "Nickels and Dimes", I like this track a lot. Definitely have to give the album a few more listens but wasn't overly impressed.

325 K max 1st week...I'll change my avi to Kanye if I'm wrong.

He already pre-sold 1 million copies to Samsung, technically.

But why is that getting counted as don't retailers effectively buy copies currently anyway

So that's just a different form of retailer.

That'd be like counting a few mil that Target got from the label to stock lmao. They're not people buying the album, it's a retailer / or a company doing so for business purposes.

I love Holy Grail but I have to admit Jay was kinda week on it. JT saved that song, his verse and hook is this best thing I've heard all year, better than his album (and I think it's a classic).

[Fleka]

Listened to the song. I don`t like it.

[slimshadylappin]

Not sure what I was expecting :/

I did like Holy Grail but SOTY? Nah

[Kill You]

Just listened to this shit again, it's even worse now.

Holy Grail.....worst song of the year so far?

I usually agree with you but...no lol it's not even the worst song on the album. Actually my favorite.

[Trimss]

It's about as mediocre as Mirrors, Lighters and Guns N Roses

Only difference is that JT actually made an effort and took it to another level.

Wtffff Guns N Roses is dope. and Holy Grail is cool. Mirrors has an amazing hook though.

Anyway, Jay only did this samsung deal so he can say he never had a non-platinum album.. Right?

[PAINKILLƎR]

Jay ruined Holy Grail, JT did his thang doe.

[Mathers]

A+ to whoever produced Somewhere In America.

[SG.]

That would be Hit-Boy and Mike Dean.
