    Or do we need to wait another 7 years. Album way too ahead of it's time

    It's conceptually a mess and Jay's still a bum for that Samsung s--- (although good for his wallets). Unlike in other Hov albums where his focused rapping often redeems the missteps, felt like this was some of his most bland performances since BP3, although it still had some nice moments on that A-side.

    Sure wish there was a full version of Beach Is Better, Mike Will a fool for that one.

    MCHG doesn’t have the lows of say Kingdom Come or Blueprint 3, but it doesn’t have the highs of either of those albums either. It’s mid throughout, and I’d rather sit through a collection of songs ranging from 3-8/10 than sixteen 5/10’s.
