This. But the 1st track is tight with JT. That piano sample is dirty.

I can't help but feel that jay is just past his prime. I wish he would use his time and money to support newer, up and comers rather than throw down ego trips that do more to change the way that music is purchased and acquired than change the genre itself. He used to be a pioneer and he can be again, if he just lets someone else take the mc then stand back and take credit for allowing that new talent to rise.

The only tracks I like on this album are Tom Ford and Crown. Not a good album.

while i agree with you that he's past his prime, look at what he's doing with rocnation sports. also, he has j cole, one of the best mainstream mc's right now, signed to his roc nation label. so he's trying

true true, I do love J. Cole... I mean "Lost Ones" is quite nearly a narrative masterpiece and maybe I'm just selfish but I want MORE of that and less of him, himself. Ya know?
