Mayhs said:people who say jay-z has dropped off need to listen more...he just did a 5 minute freestyle yesterday and slayed it...hes back!
but i think kingdom come will be another commercial album and then hopefully hell get his grind on and do another RD (reasonable doubt) for his true fans
Longbow said:I thought he (Jay-Z) retired, was it just a publicity stunt then?
Mayhs said:he retired then decided to come back after 3 years...i dont think it was for publicity because he became the President of Def Jam and he was always around music and seeing as thats his passion he probably wanted to do it again
friddela said:Yeh, thats what he said in an interview, because hes still always in the studio he realised that he wanted to be an artist again. I wouldn't be surprised if Eminem did this, after Proof's death i think he will be planning a come back, lets hope so to be honest.
Big Chris said:Things have changed a lot since Illmatic sadly, It Was Written had some decent tracks on it but he's gone way downhill since.
If you like that early 90's sound though check out Pete Rock & CL Smooth - The Main Ingredient and Mecca and the Soul Brother, both top notch Hip Hop albums and way different to the crap that passes as Hip Hop these days.
Mayhs said:im glad jays coming back but ive never warmed too much to eminem even though he is a good lyricist...i dont know why though he hasnt appealed to me

all the early 90s stuff is great
this thread made me get illmatic out for a listen and its still amazing![]()
friddela said:Yeh, my friend is like that, he thinks Eminem has amazing talent and understands why most people like him but he "just" doesn't.
