I don’t know what Jay-Z was doin on this album. i am well was a huge Jay fan but this album is worse than Beyonce’s, I think that maybe they (in some weird way) made a bet to see who could make the worst album and because of Jays history he has won hands down. I am so disappointed in this garbage. I am one of the many people who couldn’t wait for the Jay-Z album so I downloaded it and it is atrocious. This has to be one of his worst. Man he should’ve stayed retired. And were the hell were the infamous Timabaland and Jay-Z songs, what was he thinking, my bad clearly he wasn’t. Jay now is not the time to experiment, go with what works, and it is not this album.
