A lot of Twitter peeps and the entire web world have mixed feelings about Jay-Z's new track "Off That" featuring Drake.
"JAY-Z CLEARLY THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE... i wish he would have some better hits like he used to.... :/," says Twitter user ThaeBaeddest.
"Dammit...I was anticipating this album, but between this and "Run This Town"...shitty at best. Most verses are plain nonsense and songs sound as commercial as ever!! Minus D.O.A. anyways(NO ID's production complimented Jay beautifully) What was the point of even having Drake on that track? I was at least hoping he skewed my opinion of him and dropped some substance, rather than the watered down stuff i'd heard before this, " says Allhiphop.com user CaptainBackSlap.
Ouch!
Simmer down Twitter and All Hip Hop peeps, simmer down. I'm actually feeling this track. Music lovers what about evolution?
Everything in life has to evolve and that includes music people! I think we are so afraid of change that we can't appreciate growth and unique sounds, objects, and etc because we are so use to watered down artistry. If every track on this album sounded like Blueprint I or II folks would complain about Hov not stepping out of the box. Well, FYI Jay-Z is the box! And like his woman Bey he can do whatever the heck he pleases as long as his same remains Shawn Carter his true fans will still love him. I'm excited about September 11, which symbolizes change for America and Jay's album being dropped on that day symbolizes an attack (in a good way) and bold moves in the hip-hop industry. So, whether or not this track makes the final cut on Blueprint III one thing is for sure... Jay-Z's album is the most anticipated and probably will be one of the hottest albums of 2009.
So, leave your comments and let me know what you think about "Off That" featuring Canada's finest Drizzy.
Run This Town
