OH SHIT BABY.
Good luck to Nas in 2018 when he gives us his best shot at outdoing this album.

Yeah, that’s a great line. We’ve talked about it a few times now.
It’s weird that he song “4:44” is he track that’s up for the Best Song Grammy (which exists ostensibly to honor great songwriting), when there are so many better instances of actual lyrical awesomeness on that record.
I actually think “Marcy Me” is one of the most well-written songs Kay has ever made. Not only does it, like, make fucking sense and shit, but it also just flows off the tongue, it’s smart, it’s clever, it MEANS something.... and it really does feel like Jay’s lining up new rapper and just plugging them off one by one from a book depository somewhere.
Anyway, whatever. Grammy cares about celebrity and the Beyoncé/Jay dialogue is what they think is the important part. Dumbasses.
