THIS MOTHERFUCKER SAMPLED ZOMBIE? What the fucking hell.
Okay, a couple of real good tracks to end the album. Castles and Arose are easily the highlights of the album. But like 4-5 songs worth a shit are not an acceptable ratio. The ones where he's trying to be funny or political are garbage, but the tracks where he drops the bullshit and tells a story are good.
Jay had to learn how to drop the facade and just talk to the peoples on 4:44. Somebody in Em's camp, probably himself, didn't explain that the kids aren't going to relate to a 40 year old rapper no matter what and the ride-or-die fans aren't impressed with a lineup of crappy pop hooks or rewarmed raps about farts.
If this album was a 8-10 song EP with Em just talking about shit like Castles or Bad Husband, it'd be a pretty damn good album. But you have to go 7 tracks deep to find one that isn't complete trash. And sampling Zombie is goddamn unforgivable.
