Its A Lifestyle

"Oh...My...God...Hov"

Jay-Z is arguably the Greatest Rapper of All Time and he proves it from beginning to end on Kingdom Come An Instant Classic. Yes I Said it Instant Classic. Most would probably not agree with this because of all the hate in the air but to those of us that really love Hip-Hop its genius.

From track one "The Prelude," with the sample from what sounds like "The Mack," and a smooth violin and flute. Take a listen to all the little nuances in the beat, dope. While Hov spits like never before so much to catch in 1 verse. My favorite song on the album. He Flipped the numbers, I love the number 38, (game). "Ill beats dope rhymes what more do yall want."

"Oh My God" is definitely a hot song nice lead into Kingdom Come. Could not have come better first song. Just Blaze did his job crazy sample and crazy gospel like ending. Hov spit again of course.

Dont Skip The Next Three Songs, You Have Never Heard Them Like They are on the Album. (Kingdom Come, Show Me What You Got, Lost Ones)

The Kanye Produce "Do You Wanna Ride" is crazy, both kanye and Jay killed it another R.O.C. hit. Jay spits verses to a homie locked up. He spits a lot of real shit. Oh yeah John Legend kills it to.

"30 Something" is another hot song. Dr. Dre produced this one and he did his job. You Have to fucks with that combination. Jay raps about his life now.

"I Made It" is reminiscent of jay-z in the past with the beat. It sounds almost like something off Blueprint. Beat done by Dj Kalil. we can say we will be hearing from him soon.

Now lets give this next song "Anything" an chance. It took a couple of listens for me to really feel the direction of the song but in the end its another hot song. The Neptunes, Pharrell, Usher and of course Jay, did their thing.

"Hollywood" with Beyonce also took a couple of listens, but once again passed the heat test. Produced by Scyience, ill beat. Sounds like a radio joint but both at the same time. Cant explain it. Take a listen you'll hear what I mean.

Like I said earlier, Dr. Dre is on his job. So much heat on this album. Listen to Hov's flow, this guy only gets better with age. A real song and yes, we are all the same.

I only have two things to say about the Swizz Beats produced "Dig A Hole," hot beat and Cam'Ron who?

"Minority Report" is a straight up real song. Listen.

Hov didn't go wrong with "Beach Chair," it is a great closer to the album. As the homie young boy said its the ending to a movie. Also, its something new and different. "Open up your minds"

So out of 5 lights I give Kingdom Come 5 lights. Classic.

Peace,
