Wow, I am on the other side of the fence with most of these comments, first of all, to answer. Jay is the best MC's because he is the most consistent in the most categories. The things that he has accomplished in the music industry, I’m not even talking business or any of that stuff, is phenomenal. He has the best flows, voice, and wittiness’, most of his lyrics have double or even triple meanings. There is really no one close in the MC world.
Secondly, this album sounds fresh to me; he made a new Blueprint for a new generation. The beats sound super nice, like an updated soul to them something new and fresh on BP3. No lyrics? He expands upon what is going on his life; don’t tell me your one of those fans that never wants an artist to grow? If anything this is one of Jay’s riskiest albums, if anything he shows a great deal of vulnerability on this album.
Thirdly with that other poster, tying in my last point, a great example of that vulnerability is “Forever Young”, great song.
