Red Mosquito

I havent formed an opinion about this album yet but want to hear others thoughts. You all digging?

Fuck Jay-Z

Im downloading this one now, but im not a big fan of Jay anyway.

I downloaded this morning. Only heard the first 2 tracks. No opinion yet.

Why does HOV catch such bad flac from hip hop heads? I love his stuff.

I think this whole album was produced by No ID

Jay dissing Ye while copping his aesthetic. What a hack. The only reason anyone even still pays attention to him is because his wife is a megastar and Ye saved his career.

Yeah jay z has pretty much always been a joke

See I think his wife is overrated big time

And I guess ye saved Jay but then again Jay basically put him in the spotlight in the first place

Reasonable doubt is a classic.. he has a few other really good albums (blueprint 1, Vol 1, black, Vol 3) and a ton of good singles scattered through the others.. now if I get an album with a good song or 2 from him that's an added plus I guess

I don't like Beyoncé, but that's not the point. She has kept him in the spotlight.

Jay has been a dick to Kanye for a long time. He doesn't deserve credit for discovering him.

No arguments about Reasonable Doubt, though. That's a classic album.

Isn't a basic part of rap culture being a dick, though? Everyone is a dick to everyone else. Kanye has been a bigger dick to other artists than just about anybody. I'm not sure why that aspect of Jay-Z turns you off. Unless, you're just being loyal to Kanye. If it's just you have a friend and some dude is shitting on your friend and so you chose to defend your friend because that's just what good friends do. If that's what's happening, then I totally get it.

Jay-Z has had a handful of songs in the past that I've enjoyed well enough. I really liked that Unplugged album he did. Other than that, I could take or leave him. I have no interest in this new record. Unless you guys tell me it's fucking amazing. I might check it out in that case. Maybe.

I don't fuck with basics, Joey

Respect

I'm so sorry. That was really inappropriate. Please, forgive me.

Honestly though, not every rapper is a dick, and I think whenever Kanye has been "a dick," he's been coming from a place of good intentions. He was speaking up for what he thought was right, even if it was rude or improper. That's a big difference from the mean-spirited dick moves Jay or Taylor Swift have pulled.

Fair enough. I really don't pay attention to most of it. Just seems like this kind of thing is always happening. It's mostly PR, right? Like the WWE?

Ehh, not really. Jay actually just seems to be a dick.

I've never met the man. I was talking more about the Taylor Swift/Kanye stunt.

Man LV takes this shit way too personally.

Kanye is my spouse
