New Jay Album...

is absolutely disgusting. I know critics have been quite mixed on their assessment but it is one of the most complete albums he has put out in quite some time. Jay somehow manages to stay true to himself, incorporate some new up and comers (Drake, Cudi, Mr. Hudson) praise some of the game's finest in "A Star is Born" (Dre, Em, Mase, Puff, Biggie, etc.) rip on some of the recent trends in rap (the most memorable lyric probably being: "get back to rap you T-Pain'in too much" in Death of Auto-Tune), take on the Reublican party: "This ain't black vs white my... we off that, please tell Bill O'Reilly to fall back, tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my balls, it's 2010 not 1864" in "We Off That" and produce a few chart bangers as well.

In my opinion (humble as it may be) this is easily Jay's best album since The Black Album and nothing short of a masterpiece given the sort of stuff that's been coming out lately.
