MCHG by Jay-Z was a huge letdown. The sampling, edits, beats and rhymes are all forced and don't gather any traction. The album is lifeless and a disappointment. Blueprint 3 had some great stuff and before that American Gangster was stunning, if not one of his best works.
Also, it was funny the deal with Samsung and the App released the music DRM free and it was available on the net almost instantly. I am sure that it was great marketing to go platinum before the album was even released and it made Samsung kind of cool for 2 minutes, but it sure is annoying when artists get in the way of the customers from purchasing their music.
For the record I did make the purchase.
