Well, do I stick with this #livejayzreview or do I get my proverbial arse down the CD library to get more tunes out?
Jay-Z track 11: unlike on Wings records, having the missus on board singing actually makes Mr Carter sound woefully off-key. #livejayzreview
Jay-Z track 10: the last track cribbed lines from REM, this one from ATCQ. Hope royalties distributed accordingly #livejayzreview
Jay-Z track 9: "Do you know how heaven tastes" line is his interpretation of "que huelen las nubes" from Spanish Kotex* ad. #livejayzreview
Jay-Z track 9: it's not a Psychedelic Furs cover. #livejayzreview
Jay-Z track 8: by now I've worked out Jay has a lot of money & a God complex second to Kanye. Dawkins won't be buying this. #livejayzreview
Jay-Z track 7: where he calls Miley Cyrus a twerp (maybe a Turk?) and flaunts his numerical prowess over a top-dollar loop #livejayzreview
Jay-Z track 6 (2nd listen): the "f-up the squirrel" one, in his distinct *googles* Brooklyn accent. Also mentions his organ #livejayzreview
Jay-Z track 5:"On holiday playing Strange Fruit".. Now this MUST mean that Jay has stash of old Peel Session albums. SURELY #livejayzreview
Wonder if Billy was standing by in case Frank was too busy? #livejayzreview
5th Jay-Z track (2nd listen): just checked what this track with Frank Ocean is called. It's called "Oceans" #livejayzreview
4th Jay-Z track (2nd listen): even by Scottish standards, that Ricky Ross swears A LOT now. Didn't do that in Deacon Blue. #livejayzreview
3rd Jay-Z album track (2nd listen): Googled "pop molly". It's what another famous Shaun would call a "disco biscuit" #livejayzreview
Shock! - That line about never copulating with the species vulpes vulpes actually is at the end of track two, not on track 3 #livejayzreview
2nd Jay-Z album track (2nd listen). Everyone reporting Nirvana quotes on track one, no-one spot the Irene Cara lift here? #livejayzreview
2nd Jay-Z album track (2nd listen). Jay considers Beyoncé to be a modern Mona Lisa with better features. Cuter nose, maybe? #livejayzreview
And I never thought I'd here Jay-Z shoehorn a reference to the Tate Modern into a track of his #livejayzreview #MCHG
On a 2nd listen to 2nd track on this Jay-Z album you can see his true appreciation of both contemporary & renaissance art.. #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track. Still waiting for the Knights Who Say "Ni" sample on this. It's not happening. #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track. If you don't like profuse repetition of the N-word this album is NOT for you #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track. Reference to "Michael Jackson's Thriller" makes me realise 2013 Jay-Z whoop = 1982 MJ whoop #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track: Influences! Line about parental privacy cribbed from Eminem, repetition of song / LP title inspired by KLF #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track. Reference to K. Cobain, followed by "lame" SLTS rendition. Credit To The Nation did it so much better. #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track. No, think he said "Dyson". Must be a ref. to vacuum manufacturer getting famous & outsourcing to Malaysia #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track. When "Hova" comes in, song changes into something else. References MC Hammer & Neneh Cherry's sprog Tyson. #livejayzreview
1st Jay-Z track. Loop in the back saying "warning". Either the anticipated Monty Python sample or stream not entirely legal. #livejayzreview
So, back to the #livejayzreview, but with the two tracks I oddly skipped before. You have been warned. #MCHG #MagnaCartaHolyGrail #jayz
Eager to find out what the new #JayZ album #MagnaCartaHolyGrail sounds like (Python samples? Puns?) I'll resume #livejayzreview 4pm UK time!
#livejayzreview on hold for lunch. Normal service resumed later.
9th Jay-Z track. Another reference to heaven. "Do you know how heaven tastes" almost plagiarises Spanish sanitary towel ad. #livejayzreview
