Some chill shit....he better keep featuring muthafuckas because by himself... he's boring as shit!

Definitely a Hov beat! Some grown up shit...

Jay just sounds soo natural on beats like this. I dont think anyone but Nas can fuck with him in this "element".

6 outta 10...mainly because of the beginning!

wut jay z is sayin is real stupid nigga why would dis nigga rap about all dat old wut u call real he rap real shit
BUT WAYNE GONE BE DAT NIGGA DIS SUMMER

CARTER 3 ALBUM

DEDICATION 3 ALBUM

I CANT FEEL MY FACE: THE ABLUM

HE GOTTA R&B ALBUM COMIN OUT CALLED LUV SWANGZ

>> “Lollipop”
“I’m not a lollipop rapper,” Wayne told us, by way of introducing this song as the radio single, “but this track is cold.” It’s one of many new Wayne songs to feature T-Pain/Roger Troutman vocoder singing effects and it transcends its boner-as-blow-pop conceit on the force of its strangeness: Wayne’s singing isn’t just a run through the T-Wayne ProTools patch, it’s chopped up and layered over itself in a dense, alien collage. It actually de-naturalizes the vocoder gimmick, which is as common as high-hats nowadays. “Dudes are gonna hate this one,” he said. “Ugly dudes, that is.”

>> “Beat the Block”
Hollowed-out and bleepy. The percussion approximates African hand drums, which is why Wayne refers to the track as “Kunte Kinte” at one point; he rides the Alex Haley reference, rapping that he eats “Roots for dinner,” before adding that he’s “In the garden, feeding fruits to sinners.” He also tells us about a girl who likes “the Weezy F — I bad-grade her.”

>> “Eat You Alive” [ft. Ludacris]
The T-Wayne effect is back and pushed to an avant-garde extreme: multitracked, demonic, paired with pained female vocals that intone “he’s gonna eat you aliiiiiive.” Wayne likes food, and this is about comparing rappers to food and then going Audrey II on them. The math here is simple: Wayne makes any track he’s on better + Ludacris makes any track he’s on better = A Möbius strip continuum of WTF?!

>> “I’m Illi”
This “street single” produced by “Bossy” beatsmith Bangladesh should be released to radio next week. There is no hook — just non-stop rhymes over a thunderously spare backdrop: a screwed-down vocal sample repeating “I’m Illi,” pounding 808 drums and claps.

>> “Let the Beat Build”
Drums by longtime Wayne producer/engineer Deezle, ethereal soul sample by Kanye West. Structured something like Coldplay’s “The Scientist,” which is to say we start with nothing but melody for about 8 bars, and then 808 drum sounds are introduced glacially: high hats for four bars, high hats and snares for the next four, and so on, so that the song revs up in an excitingly disjointed, slow motion way.

You don't even need to pay attention to ross he proves everyone right one every track he drops....he's garbage and the album will flop no doubt about it

But on the upper hand, Mr.Carter hasn't lost his touch not one bit he basically murdered this track and was the focal point of the whole song besides a nice mellow beat

All in all this should've been jay's track without ross aboard truthfully speaking and i'm sure alot of people will agree

Oh wait, you sittin' at home, no deal, no money.To all the "garbage ass rappers" out there on the air "Make that paper, spend that money, and let every fuckin body else hate it. I luv it and I got the six figure record deal to prove signing bonus to prove. I am sure there will be kats that think I am garbage.

Everybody isn't Nas, Dre 3000 and Common. You gotta work with what you got, and make the better out of it. Ross makes street bangers. Thats him. Thats what he does. He might not be the best lyricist, but he can make good songs and good albums (ex. Jeezy, 50, Snoop etc.) Stick to the script, stay in your lane, and do what works for you.

this is one of the best instrumentals of the year.
up there with "art of storytelling" which i guess was last year but anyway ...

i would love to see a video for this. jay-z uses mad imagery, so it's perfect
for a video.

it's funny though ... out of my favorite songs from rick ross ... 2 were featuring jay-z. this, and that hustlin' remix.

"maybach is bananas ... peel back." classic.
