Heard this about a week ago and liked the beat.

I kind of like it; the beat is sick to me.

I love the beat, but this sounds like something Kanye would rock, but its aight.

TIMERLAND GAVE HIM A LEFT OVER TRACK >>>>WACK

DIDNT JAY RETIRE ????
HE NEEDS TOO HIM N HIS WIFE
THEY BOF UGLY

Yea Kanye would rock this…this album is gonna be sick…He should have included HIS WIFE in the lineup like come on she include you in everything…The beat is hot him on it aint all that though…

lol @ CL deleting my orignal comment……..lol
well, jayz needs to go sit down somewhere
yes him and beyonce ~
yes!

alot of ppl dnt liek dis song..idk..
i like it!
its smoothhhh,..& i like da beat
the best i heard so far

This song is so stupid LOL I was dying the whole time cause Jay be sounding like the boogie man “Who shot ya” LOL WACCCKKK ugh lol He needs to sit down and rest. He to old to be acting like that smh

Yo I love this track… Timberland awww I love when he comes wit teh hiphop beats. This beat goes so hard

yea…i’m not feelin this song.

the beat is sick tho.

Didn’t hear it yet but I wanted to leave a comment. Jay do need to retire though. I mean…Damn. What more do he want???

why is she at the bottom of the list…… and he forgot to put rhi rhi on the list…..jk lol.,

I like it!
Beat is proper still.

i like this song

but i do not like jay z ….at all

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

let me re phrase that

i like the beat of the song

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.

#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

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

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….

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

THE BEAT IS SICK…FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER= Sucka4love0

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.

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

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.

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

Joe Camel for real!

@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.

jigga jigga that nigga jigga!!!!!!!!!!!

heehee

I’m on the fence about this album and I’m a Jay Z fan….so far I like “Run This Town”, “DOA” and the lyrics of the song he did with Drake….but the other two leaks….meh….sigh! This is why we shouldn’t brag…Best of Luck though….

:(JAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!! ok… *sniffles* i’m done

go away! and Kanye been wore that Jesus piece so it’s too old for a cover…too old kinda like you.

LOL @ PAUZE!!!

JIGGA DOESN’T NEED TO RETIRE. HE IS STILL BETTER THAN 99.999% OF THESE OTHER “RAPPERS” OUT HERE TODAY.

ALSO WHY IS J. DAKAR SO F’ING SEXY?? I’M JUST SAYING.

screw the haters that track is hott.

OK….September 11th ain’t coming quick enough!! That track was sick…

“all black everything”

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

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!

PLEASE RETIRE YOUR LIKE WHAT 50?!!!!

DUMPSTA JUICE…..NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!

YALL NEED TO STOP B!TCHEN SERIOUSLY,I LIKE THE TRACK ITS WITTY IT GOES WITH THE TITTLE.AND WHY SHOULD HOV MAKE ROOM FOR NEW ARTIST NOBODY MADE ROOM FOR HIM WHEN HE WAS COMING UP IN THE GAME,SEE THATS THE PROMBLEM WIT SOME OF YALL YOU THINK WHEN A ARTIST REACH A CERTAIN AGE HE SHOULD STOP RAPPIN,FUK THAT HIP HOP HAS NO AGE LIMIT IF YOU STILL HAVE THE TALENT AND THE LOVE WHY NOT DO IT,DO YOU REALLY THINK JAY NEEDS TO RAP DUDE IS WORTH MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HE DOSENT NEED TO RAP,BUT HE DOES IT CAUSE HE HAS LOVE FOR THE GAME,HIS MUSIC IS ALOT BETTER THAN THESE NO TALENT SKINNY JEANS AUTOTUNE NO SUBSTANCE ASS MOTH@FUCK@S OUT HERE,BUT ALOT OF YALL GONNA DISAGREE CAUSE YALL SO USE TO LISTINING TO THAT BULL OUT THERE YOU FORGOT WHAT GOOD MUSIC SOUND LIKE.

beat is sick, jay raps smooth on this rack.. too many haters saying negative sh*%, that dont understand real rap.. they probably think soldier boy is the illest. lol

hot shyt!

Go away Jigga,

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

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

Gotta love Jayonce!!!

…oh yeah co-sign@SOSOFRESH

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.

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.

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

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!

CO-SIGN WITH SOSOFRESH AND 2MUCHTALENT

JAY IS THE BEST AT WHAT HE DOES. THOSE THAT DON’T KNOW REAL HIP HOP DON’T GET IT.

I like it! And hmm….. is that Cassie on the hook?

Love the cover!

Kanye cannot rap..dude is very mediocre if that (ugghhh) ….this is by far the hottest song I’ve heard so far from Bp3, this one I love……

@ Keep it !00…EXACTLY

nice cover, they shouldn’t of listed Beyoncé last though…. smh.

the song is really good too

HIS WORD PLAY IS JUST CRAZY! THIS IS JUST THE THIRD VERSE, CATCH UP PEOPLE.

THOUGHT SHORTY WAS THE TRUTH
FOUND OUT SHE WAS A CHEATER
WE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKEOVER
I CAUGHT HER BUMPING ETHER

SHORTY GOT FED UP
SHORTY GOT BRITNEY(CRAZY)
SHAVED HER WHOLE HEAD UP
WE USED TO MAKE OUT
KISSING EACH OTHERS FACEOFF
FELL FOR THE FOR THE PONZI SCHEME
DAMN SHORTY JUST MADOFF

Why should he RETIRE? Idiots! Where in the rules does it say a musican should retire if he’s the only man standing and can sell out an arena?? He’a still relavent! no need to retire. Keep pushing out hot ish Jay! who else is going to???

The song is stupid (meaning hot), I know folks have their preference but Jay is the best that’s ever done it!!! Stop hatin cuz you don’t understand!

Sidebar: I wonder how many of you do what you love and what would you say if other people told you to stop doing what you love becuz they think you to old. Hmmmm…ponder that. I’m glad Jay aint lettin alot of these clowns dictate his moves.

GET IT JAY! HOW MANY RAPPERS DO YOU KNOW THAT CAN SELL OUT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN?
JIGGA IS THE TRUTH.

His whole album leaked.

He sound like LL Cool J on this one! I like it!

Is sad when you have individuals actually hating on good music. You have rappers (Game, Jim Jones) who are upset that a man is making music and getting money. People keep saying “he needs to move out of the way and let the new generation do their thing”. That’s wack. If other artist music was good then he wouldn’t be relevant and what he says wouldn’t matter. People trip me out when they blame other people for their music not doing well. Musical artist are not like atheletes. Atheletes stop playing their sport because their bodies will not allow them to do the things that they use to do. If rappers stop worrying about what Jay does and do them maybe they can make a album worth buying. I don’t understand Game. He has talented, why is he focusing his time on Jay at his concert!! He’s giving him free promotion. Even if he is saying negative things toward him. True hustler can’t knock Jay. Jay keep doing you. Obviously you’re killing them. LOL!!!!!!! Their mad!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!! Games new name should be the mad Rapper. “Tell them why you mad son!!!!! Tell them why you mad!!!!!!! Hilarious.

I love me some Jay and all…I just wish he would’ve came out with something a little bit different…he should’ve used the same style that he did for the other Blueprints..I love the older Jay….this just sounds watered down and thrown together to me…sorry…don’t get me wrong the man can rap his ass off….and it’s better than all this bubble gum music these days…I just wish he would’ve came harder….with a comeback like this you have to come extra hard….I would’ve liked for him to have had Bun B on a track….or Jill Scott…or Aundre 3000….he should’ve thought a little bit more outside the box….and had some old school going on….loved American Gangster…this not so much!!!!

People have to unbderstand Hip hop is still in the infancy stage as it compares to other genres of music…we have two generations in the genre now, its like the yuonger group doesn;t understand this…you’ve never heard of young rock bands asking older groups to retire..why because theres room enough to make a name and attract an audience for your paticualar brand, sound, age group,,know your audience… etc…..like the sh*t these youngins listen to I cannot stand, makes very little sense to me, half these youngins I don’t even know nor do I want to …but best believe I will be getting that OBFCL2 and BP3, the audience, my generation primarily is still there for HOV and Rae and Ghost and De LA and Mos etc and will be life long

I hope that he does a video for this song, just to see the treatment that he puts to this. The song is addressing his paganistic belief in the divinity of the planets as deities, which is a staple of his cabbala teachings. Venus is the goddess of love and Mars is the god of war. That is why he mentioned the yin/yang principle somewhere in his song. It has to do, once again, with the masonic principle of equilibrium or celestial balance. That is why he said that she left him, Mars, for the “Heat”, meaning the sun….or the so-called “sun god”, Lucifer.

Jigga, the only thing that’s bigger than Hip Hop is your lips! LOL

Oh yeah, and your EGO!

I listened again and I think next time he should use T-Pain. Maybe he can help him with a hit. Don’t knock autotune Jayz. You need it.

Some of you really are dumb, its okay for people to think he should retire. We are consumers he is marketing to us which means we have a say in his career. Jay is not a doctor who can heal until they’re 65, he is a rapper spitting the same lame lyrics about wealth, drugs, and ho’s at 40.

76.

NO, THE YING TO THE THE YANG WAS A REFERENCE TO THE YING YANG TWINS…..STARTED AT THE WINDOW
IN THE BACK THE WALL
THE YING TO MY YANG
I SKEET SKEET OFF
IN THE SALT AND PEPPERED BACH
BUT SHORTY LIKE TO FRONT
BONNIE TO MY CLYDE
BOTH RIDING SHOTGUN
BOTH COVERED IN GOLD LIKE C3PO
JAMES AND FLORIDA EVANS
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

@Cheryl

Sis, he speaks in doube-speak, or helter skelter language. It means one thing to regular people (the “profane” as they say), but it means another thing to the learned. Even his photo at the top is an allusion to his godhood. That is why they have him stationed in between two high rise building with pinnacles at the top. Those buildings are modeled after the Egyptian obelisks, and are phallic (sexually regenerative) symbols. He represents the god Osiris in physical form. To a regular person, they’ll look at the photo and think it’s just saying that he is a mighty entertainer. He said she’s the “yin to my yang” because, again, the occult deals in balance. He referenced the Yin Yang twins to throw off the average listener and also to introduce the semen reference, which is integral to masonic teaching. For that matter, the Yin Yang twins are occultists as well. Even when he said “covered in gold like C3PO”, that’s referring to the robotic agenda, and the mechanization of the masses. Watch Beyonce’s “Diva” or “Sweet Dreams” video when she morphs into the robot. Her outfit is reminiscient of C3PO. Again, the reason why albums take all that time to come out is because these witches need time to effectively work out in their mind how they will communicate the message of the elite in proper code.

Jay is so dry to me right now! Him and dame need to get back together and bring the roc back!

I MEAN HE AIRED HIS VIDEO @ 9:11 AM NOT ON DAT DATE.

“If rappers stop worrying about what Jay does and do them maybe they can make a album worth buying.”

************************************************8
This applies to GAY-Z as well. Just do you. What was the point of DOA other than to try to ruin another man’s finances? He’s a hater. He’s jealous of a brothers success-even though he’s the one leading the pack. Pathetic.

response to Halcyonc
The point of DOA was that everyone doesn’t need to do it. For example, as a fan, if I have 5 favorite artist and they are all doing autotune. I’m getting know variety. Everyone is sounding the same. Everyone being theirselves makes good music. Just because a couple of people make something hot doesn’t mean that everyone has to do it. It doesn’t sound like he’s hating on anyone. T-Pain is great at autotune. He shouldn’t stop what he’s doing. He made it poppin again, but if Game did an autotune song. That’s not his type of music. I wouldn’t want to hear it. Game has some underground music thats hard. Again it goes back to if an artist makes good music, what he says wouldn’t affect them. If someone says “they don’t like Jordans” and you do, will that stop you from buying them. No. The shoe speaks for itself. So therefore, theres no hate. The real issue is, other rappers are asking theirselves “how in the hell at 40 is he making music that is stilling getting everyones attention” and the answer is. The new artist need to start making good music and stop being followers of a trend. Being yourself last longer than any trend.

I definitely agree with Smooth…I don’t think Jay was knocking auto-tunes at all…I just think he was saying it’s really getting out of hand…I agree that it should have been left with T-Pain and T-Pain only….it takes away from creativity and gift hell I can make a song all I need is auto-tune….that’s all Jay is saying….and now you don’t know if it’s T-Pain or who because everybody using that damn auto-tune….does EVVERRYYY song we hear out now have to have autotune???? It’s getting played out, you don’t even know people voices anymore or the name of the person on the song cause it’s so many one hit wonders. Swag surfin, and fishin and shit, and swaggin out, and swag this swag that and do this, and do that (it jam in the clubs but I’m kind of gettin tired of it)….Just wish we could go back to the day when music was real and artists had their own style…Biggie, Pac, LL, Busta, Missy, Jay, Mary J….everybody had their own thing, if you heard their voice you automatically knew who it was…now you don’t know who the hell rapping these days….

Is there any way to UN-Leak a song? That was painful.

joint is bakery fresh…this some futuristic flow…true cipher beat…real art indeed

track is bakery fresh..futuristic flow…true cipher beat…great art..

JAY is that shhhh. All these people talkin about wack, are really showing their ignorance = a knowledge that should otherwise be there. Like shorty said earlier his word play better yet his s”words”play is “deadly”. It’s daunting how i read some of these comments of haters all of which are prolly afraid of broadening their horizons. The beat and flow if all else failed carried him over but the revelvancy and cohesiveness of the topic and body.

“The point of DOA was that everyone doesn’t need to do it.”
***************************************************
I still don’t understand what that has to do with him. Again,do you. Why speak on it at all?

” definitely agree with Smooth…I don’t think Jay was knocking auto-tunes at all…I just think he was saying it’s really getting out of hand…”

**************************************
Who is he to say so? GAY-Z isn’t as important or relevent as he seems to think he is. Who died and left him in charge? Please.

How does a person say, “Jay z isn’t as important or relevant as he seems” then with the same breath say, “even though he’s the one leading the pack”. Then gets upset when Jay states his opinion. DOA was Jay’s opinion. Now why does his opinion affect the industry? Because he’s relevant. I mean you said yourself that he’s leading the pack and that’s at 40. So if he’s leading the pack and he sees something is hurting the industry (every artist autotuning). Why not say something? I don’t think the majority of fans want all the music that they listen to auto tuned. As a fan I want to hear creativity. Again artist need to be creativity and don’t allow record companies to dictate how their music sounds and be theirselves. That’s when an artist truly express themselves and make great music. Reality is, Jay is still on top. Their are a lot of people and rappers who don’t want to see him there but he’s there. Jay has been a trailblazer. People need to be honest with theirselves and admit. Jay is a true hustler and no matter if you like him or not. Which is cool if you don’t. You never have met or heard about another rapper who has been this good for this long.

Didn’t he retire like three times already?
Stay there.
