Young Forever :wub:

 

Best on the album imo.

Why do all these artists lack orginality and do lame cover versions like this? I hope it never makes the top 10...

So over this song now.

Love this. :wub:

Yuk! What a horrendous cover :puke:

I echo my last comment, not keen on any jay-z rapping. not even mr. hudson can save this.

Oh. I somehow didn't even know this song existed.

 

How bizarre. I remember listening to Forever Young about 15 years ago on some Happy Hardcore album I had. How embarrassing :unsure:

 

Edit: This is terrible.

I still don;t know what to make of this :unsure:

This is soooooo boring!

Just vile, 2 earrapes after each other... I'm compiling it as I go along as I can't stand Reggie and mates... I am tempted to skip these.

Alicias bits in this song :wub:

Two Jay-Z songs in a row ;o

 

I still can't decide if I prefer YF to ESoM or not.

Third time in the top40 for Alicia. :)

Considered one of the best lyricists to emerge in the wake of the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac's deaths, Jay-Z has since carried the flag of hip-hop narrative skill. His Roc-A-Fella family had already created a solid reputation based on Jay-Z's 1997 debut. As his fame has grown, so has his tendency to bring more R&B production elements into his work, creating a club-friendly, danceable version of east coast gangsta hip-hop that hasn't diminished his reputation as a preeminent force in rap. Perhaps even more importantly, Jay-Z has become a powerful music impresario. In his role as president/CEO of Def Jam in the early 2000s, he fostered the careers of popular R&B singers Rihanna and Ne-Yo, and enjoyed a high profile as a co-owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team. His long relationship and eventual marriage to superstar Beyonce has further endeared him to fans - HMV

Discussion Thread Here

Ha ha! Two versions of Empire State Of Mind in the top 40, and two Jay-Z songs back to back. :lol:

 

Forever Young grows on me every time I hear it.

oh great, more jay-z rapping. can't understand a word of what he's saying.

Please noooooo! Reg, show some mercy fore your listeners! :puke:

Back to back Jay-Z :lol: ..ugh this is so boring now, sounds even worse after listening to Young Forever.

I really wish this would bugger off, it's so lame.

Alicia's part is the only saving grace for me. I just don't get the appeal of this song.
