Jay-Z’s “Magna Carta Holy Grail” album caused the Internet to crash late last night with all the streaming and downloading that went on as people were more than ready to take a listen to Mr. Carter’s 12th studio album. And judging by many people’s first impressions of the album, it already looks like Jay struck gold with this one as “Magna Carta Holy Grail” became a trending topic on Twitter in no time. Before it made its way to the web, Jay-Z gave folks a dose of what to expect from the album with songs like “Jay-Z Blue,” where the rapper opens up about his fear of not being a good father and he even addressed the long-standing Illuminati accusations on track “Heaven.” After coming together for Justin Timberlake’s hit song “Suit and Tie,” Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake linked up for a second time for the song “Holy Grail.”
Another track from Jay’s new album that his fans are really feeling is “Part II (On the Run) ft. Beyonce. Jay-Z and Beyonce’s MCHG duet is reminiscent of the couple’s 2003 smash hit “o3 Bonnie and Clyde” as the song reflects the love shared between a rebellious couple on the run. It wouldn’t be an album without a Jay and Bey collaboration right?
Here are the lyrics for “Holy Grail” ft. Justin Timberlake:

Heard the whole album…it’s dope as sh-t! It embarrasses Yeezus! LOL!
Love both songs. Haven’t heard the whole album yet but everyone is saying it’s really good.
It sucks that iTunes isn’t selling it until the 9th. I don’t have an android nor will be getting one.
The album is nuts! I love it!
MCHG > Yeezus. Kanye needs to go back to the drawing board.
I’m still not buying that lame S4. Androids suck!
I’m in love. I knew he wouldn’t disappoint with this album.
Jay-Z did good with this one here.
Another classic album.
Loving this album!
