crack tastic.
I was listening to “Jockin’” a few days ago.
LOL my boy from BK just texted me about this jawn.
Sweet Jesus! This song is dope…
What do you expect? Fucking sick
yo check out the new AZ album
joint is ILL
Why don’t they play music like this on the radio here in DC? WTF?!
“Swag Surfin’” has probably been played like 45 times today alone.
:/
this song is calculated & strategic….Jay’s on some Sun Tzu shit
Drake on the next single?
Releasing on 9/11?
Yeah, he’s calculating like a mofo lol.
Saul Goode though. It’s Jay. Let’s hope he knocks another one out the park.
It’s funny, cuz instead of aiming for one specific individual to take the bait, like he did with Nas, he waited for ALL THE ROACHES to crawl into the roach motel known as Autotune, and just casually picked it up & discarded of it. In one fell swoop, he has dismissed a trend.
Yeah, his influence might be diminished at this point, but this is an important record. He’s drawn a line in the sand & said, “Enough’s enough”.
I approve of this record.
ironically, Mary J. Blige’s song featuring Autotune & Drake leaked today as well.
I hope the music biz takes this joint seriously in so many levels:
1) leave Autotune, rap/singing & ringtone gimmicks alone
2) you can have a serious single and not have a hook
3) you can be a major artist and not release girly music
4) 90′s producers can still bring heat
5) songs are soooo much more entertaining with lyricism
^ I was just thinking that. lol
This shit rocks.
This joint begs for NaS. Jeezy too for that matter.
Brooklyn>>>>>
Just thought I’d put that out there.
I really do not like his voice at all; never have, never will…got the instrumental?
this is the same type of shit Fifty pulled with Ja Rule, lol
this is such a major power play by Jay, it ain’t even funny…
Some of the biggest records this year, last year & the year before were from proponents of Autotune, for example, Lil Wayne, Kanye, & Drake…he’s goin’ after THEIR market share (for those who are easily converted & quick to jump ship)
“I might wear black for a year straight”
Yeah. Me too.
^ see what I mean? lol, j/k
Teef I have no idea what about this song indicates that he’s going after their fanbase. This is like “Takeover” part 2. All Jay.
@ tres – what I meant was, he’s pretty much gonna force kids to pick a side. for those who pledged allegiance to that whole hipster ethos, he’s creating an opportunity for a “buy-in”.
It’s pretty much hype to generate interest in his new album, & he did it in a grand fashion
This.
And it’s going to be like that all weekend.
Tres, you’re right though…this is another “Takeover”, right on down to the sonic aesthetics. Same producer too. Ironic, again.
He is gonna have mutherfuckas that like all this bullshit in rap revolting and singing along!!
“This isn’t a hit record, its practically assault with a deadly weapon!”
Someone had to say it.
This is fire… a bullet with a message.
And I am tired of these kids (dudes) rockin’ jeans that are so tight only a chick should be wearing ‘em (case in point – the New Boyz vid – the chicks jeans are looser than the dudes).
*Sigh*
And they jacked our whole eras swag too.
It is an Evelyn “Champagne” King.
[Shame]
I HEARD THE TRACT at http://bit.ly/trendz and that thang is SMOOOKIN’ Cant wait for the album! GO JayZ
Saul Goode is back
Song is kool but it aint no “Do It Again” or “Hard Knock Life”. The head nod factor isn’t really there. Can’t really bump this in the club…hmmm
Whaddup Gotty
As always…RMF!!!
Saul Goode.
“Jeans to tight Colors too bright
Is it dope? Yes. But, it also smacks of an older generation, looking down with disapproval on the youngsters’ new styles. “You know you’re old when” you start criticizing the new trends, and pining for a return to your perception of what’s classic.
If there’s a side to pick, I’ll side with Jay. But hey; that’s ’cause I’m old, too. ;)
HO-VA

“Song is kool but it aint no “Do It Again” or “Hard Knock Life”. The head nod factor isn’t really there. Can’t really bump this in the club…hmmm”
I wish I could find what Jay said about the song earlier today… basically, it is not the first single and its purpose is not to try and be.
I will continue to look.
^ ^ This the street single. The “official single” with Drake won’t drop till July.. allegedly.
THAT SONG SUCKS
going going gone……… again… home run king….. Jay.. ( Kanye pitching beach balls)……. H.O.F. shit
That concept could’ve been done by thousands of rappers, but it would never mean as much as that just did.
Hov wins.
with all the extra Instrumental at the end I wouldn’t be surprised if Kanye showed up on the final version.
isnt kanye kind of like a hypocrite for this??!

Cookin Soul remixed “DOA” already! Here’s Cookin Soul’s “R.O.A (Rebirth of Autotune)” mashup!

funny, I was just thinking to myself wouldn’t it be funny if he re-did this with Autotuned vocals
Unedited CDQ:

any word on when lupe’s track shining down is leaking high quality…i’m sick of that shitty quality stream that he leaked
^ actually, it is edited, my bad. Green Lantern said it was edited. oh well. it IS another link, so there.
pretty muh the comments above me speak what I feel on this one….bananas!
also…Common should take notes…this is what happens when you continue to collab with No I.D…haha.
Good riddance!
Awesome!
Jeans too tight, Colors too bright!
Carter, just slayed em!
Sibling bullying…
Kinda harsh on Kanye?
Waiting for the Response featuring T-Pain, Ron Browz and Kanye. This is done by NO I.D. right?
Love it. on replay.
Love it. On replay

I’m back..hehe
UH, huh uh, lets go get ‘em’ © Show Me What You Got
I love it – in one felled swoop, Jay dismisses auto-tune (thank goodness) – I see tracklistings being swiftly amended – HA!
classic Jay
*Coming back for thirds*
You just know there is going to be the one puppy that thinks he can bark back at the dog.
“I’m going to use auto-tune JUST because Jay said not to. F@#% Jay-Z!”
©Some wannabe singing/always out of pitch/ rapping idiot.
But that will be a mistake of course. Jay murdered this record.
They would be advised to steer clear.
(And the man is only speaking the truth)
I have to say, if you want to be a rapper AND singer… be a Lauryn Hill (i.e. do it well and do it right).
*Cannot remember the others who have done it and are actually ILL at both*
I was actually thinking about this the other day while driving/listening to some Weezy guest spot (cannot remember the record right now). I just shook my head. I am sure the artist who had him hop on the song did it in hopes of him bringing some of his old fire to it…
Well, all they received in return was a dude singing some nonsense.
Wayne ‘was’ on his way to becoming a very dope emcee (some might say that he already was – I might be one of those people… might not).
But what is it with these guys who “think” that they have done just about all that they could in Hip-Hop… so they turn to “attempting” to make R&B or Rock records?
One or two above average albums and they swear they have to become the Warhol’s of music.
Enh. I shall pass.
(FTR – I liked the majority of what Kanye did with 808′s – however, he hopped on that train when it was rather fresh. Now… now it just is.)
…and dang beyonce looks good in that pic
Little Known Black History Fact:
This song didn’t really do a good job of “dissing” Auto-Tune.
Most of the rappers I’ve heard using Auto-Tune were T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Kanye West (Full Album), Ron Brows, Yung Berg.
Think about that for a sec…
T-Pain,Lil Wayne, Kanye West… it’s okay… Because they are actually good at being ARTISTS
Ron Brows, Yung Berg… NO, because THEY SUCK at being ARTISTS!
Think about this for a second..
If a painter revives a brush stroke from the past and uses it to gain millions only to have other opproTUNistic painters want a piece of the pie, should this brush stroke be eliminated altogether?
wow this jawn is fire no I.D. an kanye went in on this and jay sounded very hungry on that
This is that shit. Ill lyrics and the Beat is bonkers. That is all….
Jay has gotten his name back in people’s mouths…(thats a pause btw) and minds with one fell swoop. When this gets played on the radio, and it will, anyone who has ever liked a Jay-Z song is going to have to make a choice. He gave a hint of this w/ the Put On Remix (murdered that shit). I haven’t heard him this hard on a song in a minute. Dude has his blue Yankee fitted on again finally. Can’t wait to see what he’s cooked up since this may be his last time to grab this generations ear.
Thank you Jay, I really hopes this ends the autotune b/s.
