"Chill baby girl, my girl is here!"

How people can still front on Jay, I don't understand. He never falls off for more than one album, and even if one album isn't as dope as the others, he's always good for some heaters. *BTW, Kingdom Come = most underrated album of his career, after Dynasty: Roc La Familia. It wasn't what we were used to production-wise, and his delivery was rusty at a few points, but songs like the "Prelude," "Lost Ones," "Trouble" and "Minority Report" are just as good as anything he's ever done.* Dude's flow is still one of the best in the game (right after youngsters like Ludacris, Lil Wayne and T.I.), and his lyrics continuously cause double-takes ("black Maybach, black seats, white piping/remind me when Paul McCartney and Mike fightin'"). He's no B.I.G. and Pac, but he's close/how's he supposed to win, when you've got him fighting ghosts? I know I go ape shit whenever new Jay shit comes out anyway, but dude's just undeniable to me.

*Audio/Video swagger jacked from NahRight.

P.S.: There's more actual writing on the way, don't worry. Working on a lengthy article right now, but I've got ideas in the vault.
