Jay Tee's Masterpiece
Alright here's whats the deal with A Cold Piece of Work
The lyrics are hard, definitely some deep thinking involved, true player ass shit. Real life situations and its just real talk in general. Takes a step into the life of Jay Tee. My favorite excerpt from a song is:
"I'm always up because it's hard to sleep / a million dollar spot is hard to keep "
Z did an amazing job on the beats, most of the songs sound like remixed jazz songs (or entirely new, i don't know) but the beats are like Young Dru's "The Streets are Talking" in my opinion. The jazz feel is definitely what i have been waiting for as far as rap goes, I can't believe I was able to hear it hardest from Jay Tee first. I wasn't expecting that at all, maybe I was thinking the beats would be more free agent-ish.
My favorite:
1) Track 08 - In the Game
2) Track 07 - Remind Me feat. Young Dru
3) Track 11 - Pimpin' feat. Young Dru
4) Track 03 - Can't Figure it Out
I like all the tracks but those ones are hardest to me.

Honestly, I didn't know if people would like this album because it was way different than anything else I have ever done, musically. The lyrics were still the same, maybe even a little harder, but the beats were a different direction. I knew people would either hate it or love it, and so far I haven't heard even 1 negative comment. Much love to everyone that has bought this album.....
For those of us that have been fans for many years.. I'll tell you, this album was surprising.... all the old school beats with you spittin' over'em... it was like "whoa"... props to you for bringing somethin' fresh to some classic shit. All the people that I have introduced to the album have been nothin' but impressed.. real talk.
"I hope you learned how to wash your cunt / That hoe shoulda been cool with a hundred a month"
My favorite line off song #5 (Hot Persuit), a remake of Nas' "If I Ruled The world" It's Playa Jay Tee at his finest, goin hard on a hoe and her mother,
The only thing the CD needed in my opinion was a couple hooks done by Fingazz. I love hearing old school classics with the talkbox.
@ Jay Tee, I know it said you produced most of the Cd. Did you remake the tracks by ear, use the MIDI method, or bring in a player??? Cause those beats were super clean!!!
....By the way you were talkin about Joe-Loc, has he ever gotten down on a track with you on a track

A remake of Nas? LOL. It's a remake of "Friends" by Whodini. "If I ruled the world" sampled "Friends".
Jay Tee, could you list the original songs you used for each track? I recognize most of them but can't quite put my finger on a couple of them.
And the only review you need is this is Jay Tee's best album IMO. With all the old school beats, the album has a feel to it. Some cool, laid back, go hard on a bitch type shit. I said it in another thread and I'll say it again, BEST ALBUM OUT THE BAY THIS YEAR!!! FUCK THAT, BEST ALBUM RELEASED PERIOD!!! This shit is already a classic IMO. Rating: 5 stars, mics, nutts....................
