The honest truth is,Jay is an opportunist,when it was fashionable to work with Preemo he did,I love Just Blaze,but I hate when a new producer or artist comes out and Fans start calling them”the new so-an-so,the fact that you have to measure them by previous talent,means they lack their own staying power.As for Marley,it pains me that he gets the thumbs down today,when he mentored(Pete Rock)”broke”a lot of the underground records by many of “our”mid-late 90′s favorites,and influenced all of”our”favorite late 80-early-mid-90′s producers.Forget what he’s doing right now,respect his conributions.As for Jay-Z,he does not need any new production from anyone,he needs to officially retire,and let the crop of new talent(good or bad)have their shine,instead of using his veteran knowledge as an advantage in his commercial records he calls”HipHop”.THAT SHIT IS NOT HIPHOP!!!! It’s not even rap!!!!!-Roger Jones

BR, a legion of hip-hop fans disagree with you on the Jay/Primo note…Jay and Primo together has always equaled a great song: So Ghetto, D’Evils, A Million and One Questions (!!!), you name it, when Primo and Jay work together they make magic…on that note, Jay needs to get back with Ski too…Ski + Jay = classic material…word to ‘Where I’m From’…

Unfortunately for MOP, they only have that ill chemistry with Primo. I love MOP, there isn’t a group in Hip Hop like them, but they’ve gotta put out some product, what is going on with them?

………all this talk about dj’s and beats just lets real motherfuckas know that hip hop is dying right now….atleast the rap portion of it is, because at one time it was the lyrics that mattered the most in a rap song, not the beat. If a emcee can not move the crowd with just his lyrics alone, then he or she is not a rapper. they are just someone who accommodates the beat, to accentuate the dj and the music. a real rapper is either a crowd representitive, a crowd exponent, or a crowd compeller……but the very best of them are a little bit of all three………but then agan, the great emcees are mostly compellers, because they move the crowd with nothing more than the sheer force of their personalities…

i think the problem with Jay right now, is he has nobody to tell him ‘NO’. No, this album should be marketing as an Shawn Carter album, he built this great alter ego, ‘Jay-Z and people expect certain things from that character. The tracks on this album are really the man, put out two albums, leave Jay-Z for party/bling/slicktalk, on another album. Dame Dash did serve a purpose. As for him taking tracks from Marley, I don’t think that was the reason for the call, don’t close your circle. When you close ranks, and your shit ain’t tight, problems. You got crazy producers sitting on heat all over the US, open up the, take a track from Premo, he still has a lot to prove.

You know we put Jay on this super high status, that when he put out something aight we ready to tear it apart.. Kingdome is know Black album but its solid… My first round with Kingdom come I wa like meh.. Kinda boring, but the I listen to a little later and its really dope. I’d take an okay Jay album over a dope Jim Jones or Diddy album any day.( Don’t even front)

I know what you mean by the chemistry part, but I still think Jay can hold his own

he was good… but Jay-Z is really one of the last people I think of when I think of people who sound good over Premier. who I really think of are people like Guru, MOP, Nas, Big L… when these artists drop a song with Premier it’s not just like a song, it’s really like some other shit, like DJ Premier’s beats make them go into a completely different mindstate and their shit just suddenly sounds different. they just have real chemistry with the beats. When Jay-Z raps over a Primo beat it’s always just like another good Jay-Z song to me, there’s not that special chemistry, it’s just like Premier doing a beat to Jay-Z rapping. Jay-Z has real chamistry DJ Clark Kent, their chemistry is amazing, I can’t believe they didn’t have a Clark Kent beat on an album with a superman-theme.

@neil nice:

You’re absolutely right. But I talked to Preem in late 2004, and he told me back then that he squashed the whole situation with Jay at the BET awards. So I don’t really know what’s going on these days between those dudes. But I suppose Preem is too busy making records for Christina Aguilera right now. Even Fat Joe wanted to get a beat for his new record, and Preem did not manage to come thru.

So Ghetto is aite… but its not even that great. for what I’d expect from two giants like Jay and Primo to collab, I would expect much more than a song that, at best, is another cool Primo song.
