The “Swagger Like Us” sequel has been CONFIRMED. Verses from Jeezy, Nas, and Andre 3000 have already been recorded. However, 50’s efforts were excluded from the track because, well, he was never asked. I guess Fif’s swagger just wasn’t good enough, lol!

do you think i can be in the big hat club

Would be better if that was mediocre 2005 UK rapper Lowkey, tbh.

The best song Oasis never wrote.

I like D.O.A. It's not so great lyrically, but nice No I.D sampling, as usual. It's a bit weird for a 40 year old dude to care so much...not sure whether it's just a Flex-pleasing excuse for a minor headline, or something more substantial.

yeah funnier still is this was produced by a dude who just recorded an entire album using autotune

^remarkable insight

He isn't saying anything new. Initially I was all ready to jump on board with Jay-Z and his wacky "Death Of Auto-Tune" idea, but after actually hearing the track, in which he bemoans not only the use of "T-Paining it" but tight jeans and bright colors on a track co-produced by Kanye West, I can't help but wonder if this approach isn't just little passive-aggressive. Here you have a man that has no doubt benefited financially from many of his friends going the Auto-Tune route, and he opts to "kill" it on a song instead of just, I dunno, not using it or even referring to it at all.

This is a gimmick. Just like "Hip Hop is Dead." People have been over Auto-Tune for a while now, but I suppose if Jay-Z gets other rap artists to stop using it, he can just sit back and take credit for starting a movement or saving Hip-Hop or whatever. I beseech anyone reading this not to fall for that shit.

soulbounce otm for once

that fake tracklist was pretty hilarious, btw. "The Audacity Of Dope"!

amazingly someone used an even worse version of that idea in total seriousness:

i almost wish jay'd delay B3 another year so this thread can get even loopier and snarkier

i wish he'd drop "Big Hat Club" already

^^^

really feeling some gratitude that "swagga like us part 2" never happened

It leaked.

excited about the beats, i heard timbo's great on all of his

can't even tell if you're kidding

no really!

ok...i like a couple of the Tim songs but people in general seemed to be pretty negative on all of them.

i don't know if i have the heart to listen to this.

i know right? i've basically had the same experience w/ this as with the last 2 Jay records, where i really want to find a leak of the whole thing to download, not so much cause i'm eager to hear it as that i don't want to feel any temptation to buy it on the release date and wanna just get my disappointment out of the way now.

i'm happy to report that most of what i've heard of this is at the very least "pretty darn good"

take it with a grain of salt - i loved american gangster

The beat for Venus vs. Mars is kinda cool i suppose. The album is a total mess though.

An interesting mess?
