Jay-Z "Thank You"

Just to say in a few words that others haven't already said, Jay-Z is the living legend that we have in front of us. The ongoing criticism of his work by other hip hop artists only tells us that he is relevant, and will be for some time. I've listened to his new album, which is a classic, I mean how many albums have so many hot joints, that you can keep in rotation as you ride and relate to his lyrical essence. "Thank You", which is now my favorite track on the album, says it all, from the fans to the haters. "This is just how my suit is stitchedI'm cut from a different cloth, I'm just who the shoe fitsFor the Color Of Money like a Tom Cruise flick'Cept I put 8-balls in corners without using pool sticks". To put it short a lyrical genius that should be more recognized than any other hip hop artist out there, not to say some of my other favorites don't have the lyrical talent or skills, but give respect when it's due.
