I was really listening to it this morning and it felt like I was listening to an old ? reading raps off a paper. You cant tell me freed that. Alicia keyes really made it a hit.

lol well congrats on finally figuring out after all these years that jigga bars from 2009 were mediocre/weak. I didn't think we would ever ? that code before this thread

Yeah to critize jay flow on one song sayin its weak is jus nitpickin.what u think bout his flow on the tracks from his catalogue?

Is it nitpicking or making an observation? Why cant I just state a stance and have discussion around it?
I was just thinking to myself as im listening like, I know jay says he frees everything but the song dead was sounding like he was reading lines off a paper especially when he got to the punchlines. I just thought it was intresting.
I think when jay is on, he is goat but being that this was his biggest hit it and I felt alica really made it pop it just was something I wanted to talk about n see if ppl made the same observation.
-
I felt like the song was overrated.

Relax, I KNO u not getting this worked up off a thread. -
So ur sayin it was obvious his flow was weak and it sounds like a written when he states he never writes? Ok...
-

Lol a fan saying somethin sounds written has no bearing whatever on whether it was or not.thats insane
Whether jay says he never writes and if he does is another issue -
Im not really following wat ur saying fam?
-
your sayin jay dont write his lyrics cos a fan sed it sounds like a written no?
-
Fail thread.....
-
Same flow he used on Beach Chair.
-

I think calling it overrated is kind. I didn't like it and I'm from NYC.
-
Song got old quick.

No lol
I said THIS song sounds like a written, where as he often is noted for never writting. The flow and energy sounds like he was sitting at his desk reading the newspaper lol.
-
I can't relate to the subject matter of the lyrics to this song, therefore I can't decipher it's authenticity or lyrical strength.
-
I'm a Jay fan, but I have to agree. Camel's flow was off and he sounded out of breath on some parts. It's still a great song though. Alicia came through w/ the save.
-
He shoulda switched it up halfway through the song. At a certain point it sounds like he just babbling...
Keys def. saved the song tho. -
Terribly overrated not the best NYC or BK anthem Hov made. I actually hate the song.
-
As a fan I didnt really ? with the song it was cool but whatever not his best work obviously and aimed at the mainstream
It is what it is. My girl loved the ? tho
That being said, the amount of hate Jay gets on the IC has always been high but its even stronger than usual these days lol
