I dunno, if I own an album I expect at least 320. I wasn't expecting FLAC but options would have been nice. I honestly expected a Play store token, would have been a better option.
Yeah can't complain. Any music aficionado was going to have to get it separate either way I guess.

Almost done with my first listen... enjoying it more than Yeezus under first impression.
If this was on HTC devices we would have got dat Boomsound and Beats Audio. Damn you Samsung! ;p

La Familia is weak. so really, only bout 3 or 4 tracks that wont get much play from me. From the first listen, this shit better than BP3, easily. but that aint no high standard. I need time and more listens to think bout how it compares to American Gangster.

I think the album's good enough that it was a good move. Haven't heard too much hype for the album from my personal circle of friends though.

To me it's BP3 volume 2.
The beats are far stronger IMO. Heaven > everything on BP3.

I unno, DOA is fuckin fire. Same with Empire State. BP3, as a complete album tho, is whack.

Depends on what you're looking for, if you're looking for amazing ass beats, then it's got Born Sinner beat. If you're looking for some semblance of lyrical prowess, at this point in life Jay-Z couldn't wipe J.Cole's ass. =\
Comparing to Yeezus depends on what you're looking for in an album, if you're looking for something different from nearly everything else out there. You'll prefer Yeezus, if you want to hear an album in which has great beats over straight poo bars that's a more traditional hip hop album, then MCHG would be something you'd like.

That's besides the point, much like BP3 this is nothing more than a showcase for producers with some random ninja spittin over it. Much like BP3, Jay is being carried by the beats. Hell carry is an understatement, the dude is being airlifted.
Lol, can't argue with that.

Not sure how I feel about it overall. Production is on point to put it lightly, but I feel some of the lyrics were made by Gaffers channeling Jay.
Maybe Sammys shenanigans left a bad taste in my mouth to begin with.
Easily better experience than Yeezus on the first listen, but that was the safest prediction anyone could make.
Beach is better is criminally short. I'm legit annoyed by this.

Pretty much. I don't understand why so many people are kinda hating on Yeezus though. I mean, at least Kanye raised the bar re
roduction, and on a lot of those songs there's some legit social commentary going on. Yeah, Kanye's lyrics on some of those tracks aren't too hot, but at the same time this album is all over the place, and Jay's lyrics are ass, and IMO are easily worse than Yeezus. Sooo...I guess Yeezus is just too experimental and out there re:beats for too many people? That shit makes me go way harder than this. Also, at least on that shit Kanye can rap on the beat. -.-

Born Sinner, Yeezus and MCHG aint about nothin lyrically. tho who the fuck would ever listen to Ye for lyrics. Ninja has always been garbage with that.
