jay-z[1]

Jay-Z had the Internet in a frenzy at the stroke of midnight July 4th when the Brooklyn MC dropped his twelfth solo album “Magna Carta Holy Grail.”

With production from super-producers Timbaland, and Pharrell, Mr. Carter talks his usual sh*t, comparing himself to Jean-Michel, boasting about his twin Bugatti’s parked outside and telling Hublot he’s the one they need to watch out for. But in rare moments of humility, Hovie-Hov digs deeper and spits about his fears, including his worry he may not merit the same success he’s had in hip-hop and business with his daughter Blue Ivy.

After a full listen, here are Jay’s most provocative and telling lines from MCHG.
