6/26/2023 0 Comments Jay z albums magna carta![]() ![]() As with a significant portion of Magna Carta.Holy Grail, it has a dashed-off, created between business engagements quality - maybe there wasn't enough time to ask Timberlake who translated his version of the Hebrew Bible ("Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over"). ![]() He doesn't enter until the 80-second mark, preceded by a theatrical verse and hook from summer 2013 tour partner Justin Timberlake. The first of a few early-'90s references is made - the chorus of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is quoted - and Jay-Z is as triumphant and as troubled as ever. It's a vigorous if not particularly moving track, principally produced by Timbaland and J-Roc, which expresses bewilderment and conflicting emotions about rising from poverty to opulence. Like few other album openers, "Holy Grail" encapsulates what follows it and reflects a particular point in an artist's career.
