No fucks were given.

8/8/2011 4:28:22 PM

THANK YOU!!!!!

I'm pretty pumped about this album

8/8/2011 4:31:39 PM

i am underwhelmed

it will take me a couple listens to decide

8/8/2011 4:49:35 PM

I was sad the 2nd damn song had fucking Beyonce on it

I did like Niggas in Paris & Gotta Have It

8/8/2011 4:50:33 PM

It hasn't blown me off my feet the way Kanye's last album did.

Feels more like a mixtape than a studio album.

8/8/2011 5:26:49 PM

I'll agree with you on that....but like settledown said, I'll have to listen to it a few times

like Otis took a few listens before I got on its train

No Church in the Wild has grown on me already

8/8/2011 5:30:12 PM

it looks like there are a couple tracks missing from that grooveshark playlist

8/8/2011 5:34:07 PM

I'm not digging it.

8/8/2011 5:34:51 PM

at least it's fairly misogyny free

it has that going for it

8/8/2011 5:36:29 PM

just downloaded it.

so far it seems like it should be better. i bet in a week i will be jamming the shit out of it

8/8/2011 5:39:18 PM

But then again...

*braces for impact*

... I never really liked Jay-Z all that much.

8/8/2011 6:05:59 PM

haha no worries man

i'm kinda in the same boat

it isnt getting better yet. time will tell

8/8/2011 6:10:10 PM

6.5/10 not too impressed .feels like it shoulda been called 808s and hov outtakes...

8/8/2011 6:27:50 PM

jay-z + beyonce tracks are like the "joint couple" facebook profiles of hip-hop

8/8/2011 6:54:00 PM

totally agreeing on the mix tape feel of this thing

there's no overall theme/vision to the production

and beyonce almost ruins it for me

8/8/2011 6:56:48 PM

it underdelivered for what i thought it was going to be. id say im kind of regretting that im going to see them in baltimore in november now, but they both put on amazing shows live, so i think that will redeem.

8/8/2011 6:59:22 PM

thank you...glad someone else agrees about Beyonce

8/8/2011 7:09:49 PM

I miss old Jay-Z.

pretty much all of his verses these days are either terrible (Monster) or boring (most stuff on this album)

8/8/2011 7:25:04 PM

it will grow on me, but its alright. it was hyped up so much there is no way it could live up to the expectations, but its decent.


i love jay's second verse on "why i love you"

Haha, I totally agree.

And I haven't had a chance to check this album out yet, but I'm really excited for it. I've been a fan of most of the work Ye and Jay Z have done together (the "Power" remix, a GOOD Friday track, is one of my favorites) so hopefully I'll enjoy the album.

8/8/2011 9:58:22 PM

that's my bitch
why i love you

these two tracks are really growing on me

8/8/2011 11:40:15 PM

Listening to it now, hmmm.

8/8/2011 11:56:53 PM

Only song i like so far is "who gon stop me now"

8/9/2011 12:28:54 AM

yeah i'm liking that one too

Not the album I was hoping it would be, but there's plenty of solid tracks.

"No Church in the Wild"
"Otis"
"Gotta Have It" (BEAST of a song)
"Murder to Excellence"
"Why I Love You" (probably my favorite)
"Primetime"
