Jay's album only got the rating because of the hype it generated. The whole "Jordan" Story, about him coming back, made fans go crazy when they heard he was back. I got the album, and only a few tracks are decent. It's clear that his time is basically up, but he's still got some quotes left in him. I think he didn't want to release an album, but wanted to put a couple of tracks out(Show Me What You Got, Lost Ones, Kingdom Come, and Oh My God). And he knew if he put an album out while Dip-Set was dissing him, he'd get alot of attention to respond to them. The more attention, the more records you sell. He sort of used the controversy theory just to sell.
