I think the emphasis is on just dropping it all together rather than letting a few singles out before the whole album.

but it does sound dumb

Not saying I disagree with your opinion, since I don't when it comes to those two, but it's not really your call to make about what's horrible and what isn't.

If you think of a good album, chances are Rick Rubin had a hand in it. This list is crazy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin_production_discography

Pumped for this, those beats sounded awesome.

Also, I fucking loved your post in the "Why do parents drop so much money on their kid's cars" thread where you quoted Heart of the City, I just had got done listening to it when I saw it.

Jay Z sucks at life, and so does his wife. Cocky, obnoxious people. He's way past his time and is using Obama to gain popularity these days. That is all.

I'm normally not a big Jay-Z fan but those beats sounded dope. Hopefully his lyrics can keep up.

Am I the only one who actually dislikes this? it's just boring me for some reason, maybe it's just my mood.

putting out a commercial like this was kind of bad for the album because now everybody is hype and thinks it is gonna be amazing and if it isnt an instant classing like Blueprint or Reasonable doubt then everybody is gonna think it is way worse than maybe it actually is. However, the initial sales will explode due to this. Also not sure if naming it Magna Carta Holy Grail was a good thing for the expectations either, I mean the two things arent even related.
