A Jay Z and Nas song has leaked itself- its called Black Republican

I just got that album and I'm listening to it atm. It sounds great. I like Jay-Z's music much. "Black Album" and "Reasonable Doubt" were great also.

I listen the all album and after that I'll listen the better songs with lyrics also.

Chris Martin from Coldplay and Jay-Z do a song together? Or was what I was reading completely false? Jay-Z is one of the few rappers I listen to (Lupe Fiasco being the other). . Show Me What You Got has a pretty cool video, and Kingdom Come is a nice song. I should check out the others.

Yes he did a song with the Coldplay dude, called Beach Chair, and its probably the best song on the album.

CD is 4/5

I got this bad boy today. When I first listened to it I didnt really feel it, then I listened to it again and I honestly think this is a badass album. "Beach Chair" is the best song on this for sure I could listen to it all day. Also "Dig a Hole" "Kingdom Come" "Lost Ones" those are also really good. I have to give HOVA a 9/10 for this one.

This album is disappointing, what happened to Jay Z's flow? His pace sounds more like 50 Cent, than the change up rhythms Jigga normally spits.

I've only listened through it twice, but so far I can only praise the beats, everything else is subpar.

I think it takes a couple of listens becauses its different from other Jay albums. It grew on me a lot.

The self-proclaimed "best rapper alive" should not produce an album that has to grow on you to enjoy it. This album is a gimmick album and I don't think JayZ put the usual effort into making it an instant classic.

I prefer JayZ rapping over raw beats and blowing me away with his lyrics. This album has too, much pop appeal for my taste.

I don't think his come back was gimmick; the media made it out for something it wasn't. Its obvious Jay has a different direction on this album from past albums. The reason I say it grows on you is because it takes a minute to adjust from such a different approach from Jay. I listen to a lot of hip hop, Kingdom Come is nice because it comes from such a different standpoint, and is different from todays average album.

I could understand why somebody wouldn't like the album for the reasons you stated.
