almost certainly a new all-time low for Jay

1) I thought Jay-Z was against autotune.

Rihanna might not be using that same effect T-Pain uses, where it sounds like he’s a computer, but there’s probably some sort of correction on her vocals. It’s just hard to tell, because you hardly ever hear her real singing voice, which probably sounds like crap. [...] Anyway, this just goes back to what I was saying about Jay-Z not being in any position to act as the great defender of real hip-hop.

4) Kanye murdered Jay on his own shit.

I’d suggest Kanye start writing rhymes for Jay, but I’m not sure if Kanye’s writing his own shit. [...]  it’s not that Kanye’s verse is particularly good, it’s that Jay-Z’s verse is so bad. It’s almost certainly a new all-time low for Jay. It’s like he’s just talking out of his ass. Even more so than usual.

Byron Crawford из XXl в пух и прах разбивает вчера представленный сингл Джигги. Причем даже не упоминая ни разу самого главного: песня-то просто банально так себе.
The more you ride it out, the better it gets. Later is greater.

I’ma keep this brief. First off, congrats to Kelis and Nas on the birth of their son Knight. It’s not in my character to speak on other people’s b.i., but for real yo, Nas, Kelis, ya’ll gotta clean that shit up. Trust, I know what the eff I’m talking bout. 12 years in the game with wifey. In the music business. 4 kids. Ya’ll think that shit is easy? Eff the alleged sex tapes and rumors of infidelity. Them things is SUPPOSED to come your way, supposed to test the mettle that your union is made up of. You think married couples before you ain’t have to deal with and handle any kinds of that b.s?

 

For the record, I am not at all advocating that marriage is the end all be all, but if you man enough to put a ring on it, man enough to plant that seed, be man enough to ride through the effin storms that marriage and family brings. Paulie from Goodfellas ain’t lie. You need to go back home God’s Son. Especially since you rappers talk about how gangster ya’ll are. Niggas is on Twitter joking about how you choose women like you choose beats. Keeping a family is truly some gangster shit. Unless your chick is very 7:30. Then you got a valid reason to bounce. I’m talking real crazy though. Because after 12 years in, I realize all women are crazy.  Especially when they’re pregnant. Real crazy is if Kelis is stark raving mad, drooling, hair all wild, rocking a Billionaire’s Boy’s Club tee and eating raw bloody chicken in the living room talking about how she’s coming back hard on her next record. Insanity of a spouse might could be a valid reason for divorce.

Небесспорно, но занимательно. (Вообще, чисто себе на память линк, конечно же.)
