It’s happening again.

When Kanye West dropped Yeezus, he followed up with the birth of his baby girl North West, but Jay-Z overshadowed the whole she-bang by announcing that in less than a month, he would be dropping that Magna Carta Holy Grail. The first blessing came with a free download for the first 1 million Samsung users on July 4th, and the second round is coming for the general masses on July 9th. With the click of a download link, everyone will have access to Jigga Man’s lyrical ingenuity laced with double entendres. 

What exactly does that mean? It means that the raps of Magna Carta Holy Grail are now in the hands of the reckless youth and eager-to-be-relevant social media stunters who will tweet, Facebook, Instagram caption and sidewalk chalk the fuck out of every catchy line on the album before you even form a strong opinion on the body of work. 

When Yeezus leaked, we served up a cheat sheet of social media quotables, and what we do for ‘Ye we must do for Jay. So for the second time around, we’ve decided to round up all the most notable quotables from MCHG that we know you’re going to abuse on social media. But if you’re going to do it, do it right and consider this an accurate cheat sheet, in 140 characters or less for Twitter and straight for the punch one-liners on Instagram.
