His ghostwriters couldn't relate so he had to write it himself. Swizz's knockoff yack yacks are terrible too.
That Jay track isn't really a track to be dissected/replayed. Its more like a response to all the recent controversy, he only recorded it last night. Just like the track he did after the birth of his daughter. Jay doesn't release statements, he just speaks over beats.
Still a bad song, but it needs the context- it isnt like a single or anything

pretty much
The track with his daughter was awful and it was planned well in advance. Pharrell was asked to prepare a beat and they figured out the duration she was required to be on, to be listed as a feature. Just like that this was a planned move by Jay, you can call it an old-school freestyle response to beef but at the end of the day it sucks.

Its almost like your a Nas stan or something...
Oh I'm not saying this one wasn't planned or had thought put in- look at who produced. Just saying that hes not trying to make a great "song"; instead, its just a vehicle for him to set out his thoughts.
Still not good.

ok where is this from and I am not surprised at all Pusha Ghost writes for Jay.... He's been hinting at it for a while now.
Isn't this just Malik Yusef's next project?

don't be so dramatic man I not saying skill wise i am saying career wise as where they are now. None of the acts I mentioned get major burn outside of their dedicated fanbases and deep rap fans.

No way.
For the vinyl heads out there:
...Is now back in print.
I'm supposed to be cutting back on my vinyl purchases.... FFUUUUUUCCKKKK
Wait Jay has ghostwriters? And if he does why would they speak up against him all of a sudden?
Shame on whoever, Jay or his writers, decided to use "dweeb" in an actual song.
They better not release some dusty lupe shit on us with this album title

I hope Wu is off the live instrument production, whether it's Black Keys, BBNG or Adrian Younge the shit just doesn't bang like it should do.
I want my cheap, dirty, dusty shit back.
Nah. If anything the title has me picturing gutter shit.

CuDi talks a bunch of things:
- CuDi didn't find a lot of tracks on Cruel Summer was fit for his style and that's why he was only on one record. On Mercy: "This record is raw, but I wouldn't want to hear CuDi on it."
- Talks Kanye's reaction to him leaving
- CuDi asked Kanye if he could take the G.O.O.D. Music logo off of his future albums
- First 200k Indicud albums (confirmed that's how much he's shipping I guess) will have the G.O.O.D. Music logo on it, rest won't.
White House gets asked about Jay's lines in Open Letter. Holy shit you guys have to watch this.
Ab-Soul XXL Freshman freestyle. This is the worst out of all of them so far, holy shit. Ab-Soul, how are you gonna let Travis Scott drop a better verse than you and you're supposed to be the lyricist? This is embarrassing.

Nah, not a stupid reason at all.
From all accounts, not really.
KiD CuDi became self-sufficient and has been rocking solo for a while, especially throughout his abuse issues. I think CuDi just wants that independent money and I bet the label doesn't want his ass much longer either. Not only that, but he wants to build his own brand now that he's made a footprint and King Chip is ever so slowly gaining ground.
Plus Kanye still fucks with Theolonius London and shit like that, Kanye really hasn't gone all trap if you've heard stuff outside of Mercy he's done recently.

Kanye seen Cudi wasn't shit so he had no problem letting him go.
Cudi is the dude in that meme posted a page or two ago that doesn't like modern music. Kanye was doing shit like Mercy so Cudi stormed off cause he didn't wanna rock with it.
Good riddance.

Cudi will do real well in the independent scene anyway. Although I would love to hear Cudi on more GOOD related stuff, I guess we'll see where this takes him.
Just making an argument that has actual supports instead of blank conjectures, that's all.
I haven't stanned for CuDi in a long time, he's not exactly the most consistent.
FUCK RELEASE DATES

You always go out of your way to type his name with that goofy capital D's, lemonade stand shit.

he does have a point, enzo

Hahahahaha.
That's all he has because the rest of his grammar game is disappointing.
Except you're wrong. Cudi would've been self sufficient without GOOD anyway, but he is quickly becoming irrelevant. Compare the hype for his next album (complete with dumb title and dumb album art) to MOTM2? There is no hype. He'll be lucky to sell 100k, probably more likely 80k. His fanbase in shrinking because they are growing up and he isn't relevant in any hypebeast scene any more. WZRD was a critical bomb and bad worth of mouth stopped it from selling more than peanuts after release (still, it was indie, he made his guap but at what long term cost?). The dude is a critical failure and his new album probably won't be taken lightly by critics either (though I think it's ok and I like the singles).
Chip isn't gaining jack fucking shit. Outside of knowing him through Cudi I have no idea who the fuck he is. No one gives a fuck about what boils down to Kid Cudi's hype man and no one will. If Cudi wanted to put him on, he'd stay on GOOD and get him involved on an actual platform.
And even if Ye does fuck with Theo London, what kind of back packer is he? He's a SoHo jacker loser whose most popular song is Big Spender, a typical rap song about Givenchy with ASAP Rocky (though a good song). The dude has his fingers in all sorts of fashion Ye admires (40oz van, Pyrex).
If Ye fucks with Theo London so much, why isn't he on GOOD? The same reason Cudi isn't.
I'm sure Ye and Cudi are fine and friendly, and GOOD has always been somewhat diverse, but Ye and his close crew of GOOD dudes (Pusha, Sean, Hitboy, Hudson) who are in the spotlight right now don't have a spot for Cudi. And I think Cudi is butt hurt over it.
All Cudi needs to do is sell 20k on his albums and tour for the rest of his life and he will eat but the dude is about to fade into irrelevance.
ps Theo London is horrible and a complete toy.
