The rapper's also imprinted his unique style on the book's marketing campaign.

 

All 305 pages were hidden, in a scavenger hunt style, around 200 locations important to his life story.

 

The person who eventually pieces together all the clues will get entry to every Jay-Z show on earth for the rest of their lives.

 

interesting! wonder if anyone will succeed?

I wanna get his new book. The man's incredibly talented, should be good. :D

been hooked on all the mashups he has been involved in. JayZ/Beatles, JayZ/ Radiohead and JayZ/ Linkin Park.

 

im seeing him with U2 in a couple of weeks so im getting his new greatest hits collection too asap.

double post

I like Jay-Z a lot. One of the few rap artists that I dig.

So excited for that Watch The Throne album!

Edit: posted in the wrong thread. :|

Watch The Throne out today, kids!

 

 

It's pretty good. Not as good as I expected to be honest but I enjoy what I'm hearing.

2 of Hip Hop's worst rappers collaborating? awesome!

ugh

 

i seem to be known on this forum for loving hip hop but Jay Z is fucking awful. can't stand him.

 

 

edit: as for Kanye, he's a terrible rapper, but his production is good. I don't know if he's doing any on the album?

Sounds like Kanye's last album but with more Jay-Z on it.:P

Most of it is quite good, some of it is even spectaculr I think. Not disappointed!

I will forever hate Jay-Z for ruining Lost!.

He only peed in a pool that Coldplay took a shit in.

He made that song a hell of a lot more interesting than it was before.

I am a Jay Z fan but Coldplay and Jay Z don't work!

Lost? > all other versions of Lost. The end.

I just listened to Lost+ again. Jay Z's verse is just...wow...how is he so famous? so terrible :(

 

A good idea to do it on Lost! though. That song's beat is pretty much a standard hip hop beat.

Magna Carta... Holy Grail -- JAY Z

 

So in Jay's new album, there's a track called Heaven. In this song Jay Z samples R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion..... Remember when Chris performed with Michael Stipe at the 12 12 12 Concert?

 

Coincidence??? I think NOT!

This album is so uninspired.

Yeah its pretty pedestrian. I have to agree.

ehhh i love some of the songs and the beats are great mostly but other than that it's the usual jay-z

Exactly. And that's the problem.

The telling sign that this album was going to be average at best was when Rick Rubin said, ""I liked what I heard, but it was a little difficult-- after just coming from the Kanye sessions-- to listen to Jay's album, because they're so different. I was in a very alternative and progressive headspace, and Jay's record is a more traditional hip-hop record."

All I know is that it's being advertised in Salisbury next to the real magna carta
