    Beat is proper still.

  14. undiscovered dream

    i like this song

    but i do not like jay z ….at all

  15. JoJoJam

    for some reason i feel that putting beyonce’ on the list kind of cheapens their relationship…like they are trying to say she is one of his accomplishments instead of the fact that they are genuinely in love…i dont know thats just how it came off to me

  16. undiscovered dream

    let me re phrase that

    i like the beat of the song

  17. D.Marie

    It’s okay but it will have to grow on me maybe after another listen or two. But I haven’t really liked anything that has leaked from BP3.

  18. Kyla

    #11 BROWNOCEAN,

    He’s not retiring because he’s doing something he loves.
    I don’t think it’s about wanting anything ’cause money wise he’s set for life – but he loves rapping so obviously he’s going to continue rapping!

    Rapper Jay Z covers the most recent issue of XXl magazine, according to a loyal reader who sent this cover. This reminds me that I promised another loyal reader to post the definition of a narcissist:

    According to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), narcissism is defined as “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.”

    The narcissist is described as turning inward for gratification rather than depending on others and as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, and prestige. Narcissistic personality disorder is closely linked to self-centeredness. It is also colloquially referred to as “the God complex.”

    True narcissists (like Barack Obama, Jay Z, Jermaine Dupri and Sean Combs, for example) will display 5 or more of the following behaviors and character traits:

    * Has a grandiose sense of self-importance

    * Requires excessive admiration

    * Has a sense of entitlement

    * Is interpersonally exploitative

    * Lacks empathy

    * Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her

    * Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

    * Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love (megalomania)

    * Believes they are “special” and can only be understood by, or should associate with, people (or institutions) who are also “special” or of high status

  20. Court

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAY….CONGRAT’S TO YOU AND ALL YOUR SUCCESS:-) LOVIN’ THE NEW JOINT TOO!!!!!

  21. Damn TIM

    I know Jay is pissed…. All of his tracks were suppose to be top secret and all the ones that were leaked were Timberland produced…… Humm…. Damn Tim…. It’s like that….

  22. MONICA

    Jay you forgot to tell folks how you acquired so much wealth, how many celebs were sacrificed for you .I really don’t know how you sleep at night folks you tube The Industry parts 33-40

  23. A&E girl

    Not knocking Jay’s talent because he is talented(and super successful) but every song i’ve heard from the album so far is beyond wack. I hate them all. Maybe next time… all the hype is NOT worth it.

  24. tweet

    OMG WACKEST SHIT EVER, HO GO SIT DOWN!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. H-Town Chic

    It would be funny all these leaked song aren’t on the cd lol! I don’t know if that would be good or bad marketing.

  26. GATECH'09

    I wonder will his label drop him like Omarion was dropped from Young Money after his track was leaked lol. Jigga, just please so sit down and keep letting Rihanna bounce on your lap..opps I mean Beyonce :)

  27. Jrizzel

    HELL NO!…NO ONE…(NO ONE)….is larger than Hip Hop who is living on this earth. Not even our fallen hip hop greats like Pac and Biggie. But Jay-Z is tired. He can still make good music but he should make room for new artists….which means STOP dowing auto-tune…if it’s hot then just make an auto-tune track!! He would have a hit if he woulda just used auto-tune! lol

  28. county50

    OK seriously yall need to STOP hating on jay & bey i mean seriously? it’s really none of your buisness when jay retires if he chooses to retire & then comeback that’s his perogative NOT YOURS! anyhoo ilike this song :)

  29. ~Sucka4love0~

    THE BEAT IS SICK…FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER= Sucka4love0

  30. PYTMissyouMichael

    Hmmmm I don’t know I just I just like the old Jay Blueprint and older this Idk can’t get with it. Like the beat and that’s it I think.

  31. Mistah Zee

    this is smooth, i like this allot! still like off that with drake the most!

  32. JStreet

    Damn… tough crowd. I thought the song was genius. Full of thoughtful metaphors. @19 so is a narcissist bad? Who cares? If no one believes in your potential, believe in yourself.

  33. Holleywood

    Thanks J. Dakar. I am not sure about this one. :) I guess it will just have to grow on me too. :)

  34. AutumnJones

    @JoJoJam, Thats the same thing i was about to say. Which once again to me proves they are just a business relationship. They songs cool, but Jay-z keeps taking shots at Beyonce on tracks. But if she loves it i like it!

    “Caught her bumping Ether”–Beyonce used to f*ck with Nas.. lol, She’s in one of his older videos with his chain on.

    I was expecting a lot from Jay this album. I’m A HUGE fan. But it doesn’t look that way. I have every album, may not have this one.

  35. kvirgo

  45. Boogie

    “all black everything”

    Beyonce is no more than jay’s trophy wife…. puting her at the bottom of the list just proves that…

  46. YOU

    Take away everything “Hip-Hop” he’s ever done in his entire life and ask that question again.

    Way to hit your target demographic XXL, showing your readers that you think Hip Hop isn’t significant enough to have GROOMED a world-class businessman is definitely the way to go!

  47. ??

    PLEASE RETIRE YOUR LIKE WHAT 50?!!!!

  48. kinghandsome

    DUMPSTA JUICE…..NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. pms

    Go away Jigga,

    take your washed up fighting to stay relevant so called wife with you.

    Just don’t go to another country where you are not welcome. LOL!

  52. B REAL

    SOSO FRESH SAID IT BEST!!!! I DON”T NEED TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE!!!!

  53. dopest_chick

    Gotta love Jayonce!!! :)

  54. Boss Lady

    The song is cool but… *silence* I just dont know what to say. I always LOVE Timbo’s beats ( I’m still listening to J.T ” My Love” that beat is sick!) I’m bean its just ok nothing to get all excited over. but I will say this if you bump this in the club like 5 minutes before it shuts down you might get a reaction.

  55. FallBackHaters

    At this rate we’ll hear all the songs on the album before it’s actually released.

    Nice song though, one of my favourites I’ve heard so far.

  56. LULU

    @ 58 exactly. There’s a damn leak like twice a week.

  57. SmythnWesson

    like seriously …
    i mean seriously ..
    is it THAT serious?
    people hatin on B .. now u know that chic go HARD !
    Jig used to go hard 2 … till his head got big
    and he started thinking he God
    man please …
    yea he so-called retired like once or twice
    then other folks started callin him out so he acted like he had to come back to prove a point
    and still dont be talkin about nothin
    remember “Reasonable Doubt” .. his first album from 1996?
    maaaan … that was FIRE!
    he wish he could go back in time ..
    all he do is talk about B & how much $$ he got
    and he supposed to be teaching these younger kats coming up in the game how its done
    chile booo!
