Jay-Z is calling his twelfth album Magna Carta Holy Grail. It’s a little clunky, but it’s got a certain rhythm to it, along with the Carter/Carta similarity. And we get it: Jay’s gotta keep up with the big statements — his buddy just named an album Yeezus, for crying out loud. But can we just for a minute, just for funsies, suggest a few alternate album titles Hova could’ve run with while maintaining the “two epic/historically significant/awesome yet unrelated things with two words apiece†theme? Cool. Here we go. (By the way, Drake: You can totally use any of these, as Nothing Was the Same isn’t going to work after Yeezus and Magna Carta Holy Grail. Sorry/you’re welcome, buddy.)
