JORDAN IN THE WIZARD'S JERSEY! STELLAR!
Stellar🤣
@@jaedencruz1002 oh thats u baby
Myke had me crackin up during this whole video. Especially when he was straight up trolling Rod lmaooo
Mike gives the best views because of his explanations and evidence
Modest Media is making shit up to defend this bullshit album. I´m a JayZ fan but this album sounded like a better produced, more sophisticated Rick Ross project. Shit, this was more boring than Rick Ross shit
Can we all just agree that mikes sammich was better than Magna Carta
Facts
I think Jay could poop in a bucket and there would be at least TWO deluxe versions sold...
I'm dead.
Watch the Porcelain Throne
Rod - "I didn't get this on Reasonable Doubt."
Myke - "Lucky You Didn't."
😂😂😂😂😂
Y'all niggas cuss Eminem for working with pop artists, all the time, but if Jay Z does it with Justin Timberlake , its brilliant.
lmao "let me get the tracklist up...cuz i didnt memorize this bullshit"- myke
The thing Jay and Em have in common with they new albums is that both really lacked on what the other didn't. Em killed lyrics but SUCKED with production while Jay had the dope production but lazy lyrics.
if eminem used the mchg beats with the same lyrics, mmlp2 would be a CLASSIC. em needs to do something with timbaland, pharell, kanye, etc. I feel like they would really re amp his career
I agree, but Jay has one of the most consistent discography of all time, a few weak links but he's more apt at creating a consistent and enjoyable project than Eminem. Eminem has 2 genuinely great albums (all this is my opinion, it's cool if you disagree) and those are MMLP and The Eminem Show. SSLP is a solid album but less cohesive in comparison to the other 2, so to compare Jay to Eminem doesn't make sense to me. It's more surprising when Jay drops a weak project than Eminem, because in my honest opinion Eminem hasn't been on his A game for a while, in terms of creating a solid album- not lyrically! Anyway, peace.
Yessirr you right on that. Jays has some bad albums but there still some joints you can fuck with.
I agree.
And that's why MMLP 2 to me is a better album...because you can have mediocre beats and it still be a dope album...but if you have mediocre lyrics, it really loses luster for me at least. And as for the comparison between Jay and Em's discography I feel like it's closer than you think at least to me because the only wack Eminem album was Encore...I like relapse and Recovery, and MMLP 2 all are pretty good albums but both have 3 classics and Eminem's being MMLP, SSLP, and ES and Jay Z's being Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album...but this is all just subjective
the thumbnail look like beezy in prison

Modest media dude lost all relevance when he said the nirvana sample in holy grail was dope are FUCKING KDDING ME
austin215 uhm, I think it was. I was sort of like ''DAMN!'' when I heard Justin singing it. It was a cool touch
+Batman _ BECAUSE YOURE BATMAN
DistantProjects BECAUSE I'M BATMAN
Yeah, I thought that was a weird sample.
***** I love Pusha T too, he's fantastic
I gotta say. Megan did an amazing job behind the camera. Very well done. She really captured the emotions of all the members simultaneously and effortlessly. Nice job Megan.
Nice production, lazy lyrics.
Yeah sad but true but going back & listening to Magna Carta Holy Grail it's not trash but at the same time it's not his best either!
haha at 13:30, Myke would make an awesome Hypeman
lmfaoooo
Beezy kinda look like pac
Thought I was the only one man lol
Feefo at 15:37 "why are you holding him to this standard?"
Because its Jay-Z...i expect the guy who gave me Reasonable Doubt, Vol 1, Black Album, Blueprint and American Gangster to make a good album
MMLP2 shits on MCHG
Both aren't very good.
MrOverlordGiygas
MMLP2 is way better then MCHG imo. You cant even compare them lyrically.
Edge Lyrically sure. Musically neither thrill me.
Both booty
Rod is a Jay-Z Stan plain and simple. Jay was extremely lazy on this album.
Lol what did ya'll "learn" from Blueprint?? That album wasn't all that deep it just sounded great really.
Georgiaboy2016 exactly.. That's my favorite HOV album
"Your idols are really losing their flair, aren't they?" - Myke
😆😆
I haven't enjoyed a whole Jay Z album since The Black Album. Do you really want to hear my opinion? Ok....2/10.
Didn't like American Gangster?
Jay Romeo Now that you say that, I guess like it, but no where near old Jay Z
Replace BP2 with AG and u have the perfect pre-retirement Jay-Z discography; Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, The Blueprint, American Gangster, and The Black Album.
I wanna hear what you saying after 4.44 ????
@@ogbmt FACTS!!!
Rod was in reverse cowgirl the whole video
YOOOOO!!!!!!
Modest media trys his hardest to damage control Jay Z LMAO, if this album didn't have the Jay z name you would b trashing this LOL.
The album was trash.. It sounds like what new artists rap, all beats nothing really crazy about it honestly...
Mike at 13:17 lolololol
17:03 started off the best opinion on Jay
God y'all are so funny
Myke trolling his ass off 😂
My favourite DEHH quote of all time “I think that my sandwich was better than this album”
Jay Z fans are so bad
CHILL OUT BRO!!! 😒
At this point Jay-Z's MCHG is motivation and role model shit.
I could care less about his topics and lyricism because there too
repetitive/ kind of lazy.
Fast forward to 2017 and Ken was right about Jay Z
Ken is right most of the time but people won’t admit it 🤷🏻♂️
modest media is such a stan whenever he made an excuse for Jay-z i had to role my eyes
man we need more modest media, he's a neat devil's advocate
Kinge's review was too funny haha
Modest Media , Jay Z's number one Stan.
I still listen to LIFE IS GOOD..
13:15 This nigga Myke trapping though xD lmfao much love
Hah, y'all are right in front of my parking deck. I was like 2 buildings away from y'all that day
Modest definitely would die for Jay Z
That guy on the right seems to have some creepish obsession for Jay-Z.
You mean the cameraman/editor for damn near every DEHH review? Yeah, "that guy on the right"
This album was fucking wack but Jay-Z blind lovers love it
Pretty disappointing album. Not a lot of replay value. Jay better than this lyrically.
DJG2287 not a HOV fan but this album is amazing. Especially the beats they're so amazing
Elie Bomana Exactly! The beats are cool. Jay's rapping is pathetic. It seems like he has run out of lyrics.
Burg Skeletal nope 4:44 proved you wrong
@@myname8635 FACTS!!! 💯
Thank you Kinge and Myke, you guys nailed it. I'm sick of people letting Jay get away with not even being creative with what he puts out or being skillful/meaningful with his lyrics. I always consider what MCs like El-P, R.A the Rugged Man or Aesop Rock would be thinking when Jay gets called "lyrical".....
Is Modest Media rocking a fucking calculator watch?
I listend to the album but didnt remember any of lyrics becuase i fell asleep, cause Its soooo BORING
Kinge gave a "What I learned in Boating School is" list at the start lol
Yeezus watch the throne maga cater holy grail all trash
whyd you add kanye in there in a video about jay lol
Only one of them even comes close to being "trash". And we all know it's not the one talked about in this video
Hater
Daniel Hill I was not in my right mind when I wrote that. American Gangster is definitely better than Yeezus.
LMAO Maga cater
I’m a little late but goddamn Myke is right Tom Ford is so terrible😂😂
so u not clappin for a nigga with his rappin ass?
This album is jay z at like 10 % I wanna hear blueprint jay at least
About 2 good tracks and the others tracks just sound drowned out by the beats and what the fuck is all this art talk where not at a fucking art gallery.
What were the tracks?
the guy with the blue shirt and the beard is a TOTAL jay-z stan
Rod AKA Modest Media & i'm also a Jay-Z stan!
I wish people would back off lyrics and actually just enjoy the music cuz at the end of the day its art and you don't have to listen to it if you don't know
Music is art just like any other artforms. it can be different things, though.
there are movies like the avengers which are fun and flashy and awesome.
but movies like clockwork orange which are deep and thought provoking.
same with music. why do we have to choose? we can have both.
I think this is my favorite DEHH review. Being in some random public location, Myke running around in the background, the sandwich, Rod acting like Riley w/ Thugnificient from Boondocks, it's just perfect.
I miss when they were just in random ass locations, it makes me feel like they’re just in their normal days and then they randomly just pause and are like “shit, we gotta record a review” it’s great
Myke felt like he was the only one who made sense.
"Oceans" has the most meaning
I think this album is dope idk where yall coming off with "decent", these beats are amazing
FACTS!!! 💯
Jus the production was good overall this album is wack
1st off let's try to break down & understand the meaning of this album from Jay-Z every single song on magna carta holy grail had a purpose #1 holy grail set the tone for the entire project with his nickname being (hov) pretty much anything you do is of holy grail status #2 picasso baby he tells you how you can come from nothing & make something of yourself & eventually be able to afford something like historic piece of art like a painting from Pablo Picasso #3 fuckwitmeyouknowigotit is just a song you can bang out while you are in your car cruisin down the block in the hood or if your in a nightclub somewhere in america watching miley cyrus twerk #4 oceans it explains how like when jay says only in Christopher we acknowledge is wallace referring to biggie smalls to the rap game & chris columbus thats why jay calls it magna carta #5 f.u.t.w. talks about a individual person having so much power in thier posession you can be the next president of the united states & fuck up the world like bush did #6 crown just plain & simple everyone gunning for the top spot in the game jay is clearly saying that if you want my crown come take it #7 heaven is religion based listen to his lyrics decide for yourself people #8 he takes shots at lil wayne the truth in my verses verses your metaphors about what your networth is #9 on the run part II with beyonce is a sequel to 03' bonnie & clyde #10 beach is better is just a little somethin' he jammed into the mix #11 tom ford I bet if you didn't know who that is you know now #12 bbc is a well deserved celebration first album to ever sell a million before it even hit the shelves #13 Jay-Z Blue speaks between his relationship withe him & his newborn daughter being a parent is full time job it ain't easy what so ever #14 la familia once again he's taking shots at lil wayne it's about time coming from a Jay-Z fan #15 nickels & dimes very very deep song is encouraging people to do whats right out the kindness of their heart whether it be giving donations to a charity or whatever the case!
Love this conversation because it's same one rock n roll fans of The Stones or Springsteen had years ago. Jay isn't vital in hip hops musically anymore, but his discography makes it hard at first for fans to realize it. Still, like the Stones he can sell out venues and have successful tours..but you don't go to hear new shit. Honestly it's a credit to him to have reached that level. .The 1st in rap history to do it.
Honestly, I can't hate on these dudes opinions, however the general consensus will be that the album was actually pretty good and will be in competition with GKMC for best rap album at the grammys. In any settting whether it be rap music, video games, or technology, nerds will always have a way more sticklerish opinion about the subject than the general opinion. The truth of the matter is it's not that serious lol.
Just let this man hold the camera. This video have to be as long as it had to be just because he doesnt know how to listen to people. He talks around himself.
Magna Carta Holy Grail album was mediocre at best. It resembled too much of watch the throne. It was recycled lyrics of I got money, pity me party for being famous, I party a lot rap. I have no need to hear this after so many rappers have done the same thing. Forgettable.
blue shirt guy is delusional
I like how Nas matured as an artist and did the "Life is Good". Jay Z tries to stay relevant by using sounds rather than being confident enough to mature as an artist and make grown man music. That's what Kin is saying.
Give Nas this level of production and we will have the modern classic we are hungry for.
I partially agree with Kinge. Being in a different place might excuse your different subject matter, but that doesn't mean you can get away with doing it weakly.
Jay-Z is better than any nigga rappin today you can have your own opinion. My thing is I wish people stop with the "should of would of could of" and always sayin "It aint like his old shit" Well no shit there a thing in music as well in life called evolution
On the real, I appreciate the love in the comments. Felt like it was me against the world in this review, lol. Feefo had my back...at first...until Myke did some Jedi Mind Trick shit on him.
I've never liked Jay-Z ever. And this album just made me dislike his music even more. By the way that dude Modest Media is such a Jay-Z homer.
Magna Carta Holy Grail wasn't one of his best overall project's but he does have one of the greatest musical catalogs in music history don't be disrespectful!
You fellas remind me of this:
I'm from where niggas pull your card, and argue all day about
Who's the best MCs, Biggie, Jay-Z, or Nas?
:)
"It's like watching Michael Jordan in a Wizard's jersey." Sums up current Jay perfectly
"lemme get the track list up, cuz you know I didn't memorize this bullshit" HAHAHAHAHA
blueprint 1 is best jigga album
Wheel Smith Reasonable Doubt is his best album.
NOPE
Oh hell yeah blue print 1 was bomb! So many great tracks. For reasonable doubt there's only dead presidents 2 and can't knock the hustle
I never liked Jay Z. I did like the Black Album though.
modest media: jay z
feefo: jay z
beezy: tribe called quest, black thought
kinge: ice cube
mike c town: ???
i got the sense that he likes em, biggie maybe big pun but is he anybody's stan?
El-P
+Waseem Jaas Atmosphere
Myke C-Town loves El-P.
Brother Ali & Aesop Rock too
Death grips
Lol you can't compare Jordan on the Wizards to Jay-Z right now. Basketball is a physical sport, and athletes losing their abilities in their early to mid thirties is a given. Making music isn't quite the same. Their are 40+ artists from various genres of music that can still make amazing albums regardless of their age.
I agree with my man in the blue shirt 100% while everybody tryna dissect and find something wrong
Dude in blue lovessss jayz
The album is trash
It's not that bad just average compared to the rest of his discography!
Nice camera work, intern. (better than modestmedia at some points xD)
Nice review as always guys.
"Meh... Meh... Meh..." -Beezy
I don't think the album itself is very bad, its just that young kids like Kendrick and Joey have raised the bar so high; they showed us what all can be done lyrically, sonically and production-wise. I don't think we hold jay to too high a standard I think l jay himself just doesn't realize that the bare has moved. Yes, dude is monster when he wants to be but.....
This forces you to have an opinion
100$ Bill is better than the whole Album besides crown and jayz blue the second half of picasso maybe oceans and heaven
Watching in 2020, anniversary of Biggie’s passing. “Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace”✊🏾
"I don't even like Washington's in my pocket" 🎤 🐐
He scaled back on this album! If he decided not to use heavy lyrics in this album fine. He could have tackled the album from a minimalist approach which would fit perfectly with the art concept. I enjoyed the album but I have to agree with Ken and Mike he has the ability to do better. I am upset that Feffo held JCole to that standard and not J. I appreciate your opinions but it just seemed like a double standard.
Always skip Feefo's part.
Heaven, Picasso Baby, Oceans, Jay Z Blue, and Open letter. Rest of the album is mediocre lazy Jay, and this is coming from a Jay fan
Modest Media can kind of be full of crap sometimes, with his overly-optimistic self.
lmfao “i think my sandwich is better than this album”
Jay Said He Would Come Back Rockin The 4-5.😂😂It was a Double entendre .He Was talking about a 4-5 pistol and a 45 jersey.So yeah he is like Mike in a Wizard Jersey."When I Come Back Rockin the 4-5 it's not to Play Games With You"
DAMN I'm a Jay-Z fan but i can't lie that was HILARIOUS! 😂😂😂
This is by far the most constructive review of this album that i've heard all year and i thank each and every one of your brothas for breaking it down to the people. Now, let me offer my take on it from the perspective of a sista and the responsibility of Hip Hop culture to its listeners. First, i have a MAJOR issue with a grown man (age 44 to be specific) attempting to maintain relevancy by showcasing little to no growth as an artist and STILL speaking about redundant issues(we know ya got money) akin to his 18 year old self (please view Reasonable Doubt). Second, i agree with the statement about Jay can actually do better than this attempt at an album that brings mediocrity to a whole new standard. Last but not least, i have a strong concern with the concepts, ideas and symbolism surrounding this album. To give you a gist of where i am going with this, the album title: Magna Carta. This is a document conceived by the British ruling class and would be the legal framework for Western imperialism. Need i say more...i do not have time for double talk. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. How can you speak of being from the streets and have no intent to evolve your art to represent where you came from? "With a gift comes responsibility which must be used wisely." Nuff said.
Well he's not the only 44 year rapper that does that because majority of our favorite rappers are in their 40s now. Eminem, Nas, Snoop, Wu-Tang, Scarface and a few others. I see what you're saying him being a 44 year old rapper and being on top of the mainstream. A lot of people aspect a rapper from the 90s to not be on top anymore.
I like these guys but Jay-Z doesn't care what they say cuz they opinion don't matter at the end of the day lets keep it 100
This album was fire. I'm not even a huge jay z fan. This shit is just good rap music. Jay z old af rich af nothing left to talk about but I'm gonna be quoting these bars for awhile. Can't say that about anyone else this year so far.
