    I honestly think MCHG was way ahead of its time, just like Yeezus. I think I've mentioned this before too but nobody from his generation except maybe Juicy J can release something like that and make it sound good.

    I guess it was from the vault. Jay gave guru green light to release it a few years ago. But hearing his voice it can't be too old. Its dope af tho

    I don't know how I've never heard it, Jay is one of my favorite dust rappers.. Jokes lol, he is top 10 all time for me though.

    I love the production on that, makes it sound older but judging by his voice, it doesn't seem to be too old.

    I've been to the MCHG show in Amsterdam and regardless what people think of the album, those songs were amazing live.

    And of course he performed classics like 99 problems/NIP/U don't know etc etc

    Beach Is Better was gonna shut the rest of the decade down if it was a full track. Even then at less than a minute it's better than full-length LPs.
    Here's some of my favorite tracks from the Jiggaman anyways:
