anyone download the other collab tracks? theres dirt of ya shoulder/lying from you and 99 problems/one step closer... i suspect theyre not the actual ones though, they dont sound nearly as good as numb-encore... not nearly as polished. sounds like someone just put jayz lyrics over a loop of a guitar riff.... didnt jay rerecord for the collab? :| if this is it, im disappointed. maybe its just that i didnt like the original encore that much and i loved the other two...

Rap is just... stupid. A bunch of uneducated black guys who can't speak the english language correctly to save their lives (oh, and one scrawny white guy) make millions for talking into a microphone about girls, drugs and shooting people, and acting like thugs.

Only in America...

Edit: the REALLY successful ones rip other people's songs and slap in some stupid lyrics.

personally, i enjoyed that one song
not a lp fan really at all, but think jay-z is one of the few rappers that has talent and an auctual musical ability, even if he weren't rapping

Way to generalize. Not all rap is about girls, drugs, and money.

I think its great. The Jay-Z part is the best. I almost never buy CDs and I've never bought a LP cd or Jay-Z cd but I'm gonna get the collaboration.

There's a MTV special showing a concert of the two performing on this week..
