Would that make Jay-Z fans "J-HOVA Witnesses?"
Word.
You have no frame of reference, Donny. You're like a child who walks into the middle of a movie...
I have heard it as well, and am kind of disappointed. I may have expected too much, but it seems like his flow isn't as good anymore. And with him telling us how he's made it and has nothing to worry about anymore on every song, it kind of gets old. There are a few sweet beats , though. For a couple sweet current hip-hop albums though, I would definately check out The Game's Doctor's Advocate, as well as Nas' Hip Hop is Dead...The N coming out in december and Talib Kweli's Eardrum coming in January.
He did say he was going "to come back like Jordan, wearing the four-five..." He also explained that "It ain't to play games witchu. It's to aim at you, probably maim you..." He needs to remember one thing, one thing he came, he saw, he conquered.

I can't wait for the Nas album and especially the Talib Kweli album.

I like Nas...I don't konw much Talib Kweli though.
I really hope Nas stays back with his style and doesn't try to be these no talent rappers that keep popping up.
