I MEANT THATS MY FAVORITE TRACK ON THE ALBUM..

THERE WERE OTHER GOOD SONGS ON THERE TOO...

[SonOf2pac]

KC Review...

1. Intro
-damn... one of the many things jay-z has perfected... a good intro... not here though... just something to skip... 2/5
2. Pray
-gangster beat to go with a gangster flow... an inspirational track you can just picture jay-z in a boxing ring... 9/10
3. American Dreamin'
-great sample... takes me back to the gangster days 7.5/10
4. Hello Brooklyn 2.0 (feat. Lil' Wayne)
-lil' wayne & jay-z??! the bassline is crazy... another great guest appearance from weezy... 8.5/10
5. No Hook
-only question... where's the hook? goes with the album theme... 7/10
6. Roc Boys (And The Winner Is...)
-this is a jay-z type song... not special on first listen but it will grow on you... 7.5/10
7. Sweet
-wack beat... 6/10
8. I Know (ft. Pharrell)
-typical Neptunes beat... jay-z and pharrell make a great duo... not the best they've done though 7.5/10
9. Party Life
-smooth track... sit back and just chill... jay-z runs over the beat... 7.5/10
10. Ignorant Shit (ft. Beanie Sigel)
-got that isley brothers sample... with some kicks that are meant for the club... pretty average song raised up by jay's lyrics 7.5/10
11. Say Hello
-i love this track... dj toomp mixes his style with jay's and jay-z flows over it nicely... one of the best on the album 8.5/10
12. Success (ft. Nas)
-beat could be a little nicer... sounds like my little brother playing the keyboard and holding down all the keys... nas and jay-z make a good team... why weren't they working together years ago? o ya... 7.5/10
13. Fallin'
-No I.D. makes up for his crap beat on the previous track... too bad nas couldn't spit on this one... jay-z is okay on this one... 7.5/10
14. Blue Magic
-I thought this track was gonna be a bigger hit but it turns out the beat can get annoying pretty quick... a millionaire, jay-z, talking about drugs is funny to me... 8/10
15. American Gangster
-Just Blaze with another old sample fitting the album theme... jay-z spits fire all over this track... ends the album nicely 8/10

you expect more from jay... it's a good album but not anywhere near the top of jay's catalog... with that being said, if jay-z was a wide receiver you could tell he lost a step... Must have: Pray, Hello Brooklyn 2.0, Say Hello, Blue Magic

Overall: 8/10

[ĸäĸïşħ]

7/10
had some nice songs
but not all sick shit
better then his last though

[youknow]

8-9 :smh: at the RN rating

[$.ʍƐəzϒ]

[REALTALK87]

[boyham]

[TaborThaG]

8/10....good album!

[stloutkast]

the album is fire and i hate jay z........

if yall dont like it you either aint really listen or used to jay makin a album full of club songs......

the people who hatin on ag were the same that said kc was classic....

[DRockBSP]

:laugh: lmfao. No Hook a 5..

all opinion i guess.. i give the cd like a 7.5/8.

[AgenT_Zer0]

7.... :smh: @ people giving this albums 1-3's

if it aint your style of hiphop, dont vote you're bias cuz you knew you werent gonna like it in the first place..

i gave it a 7 cuz it's pretty good.. as much as i hate to say it, that wayne track'll bump HARD in a car, success, pray, blue magic, are all good tracks, my favs

but it's not close to his best work... not even close.. a couple of the tracks like sweet, party life, i know brought it down to me..

[G roc]

:smh: @ someof these ratings

8/10

Wow, that`s a low rating:shock:...I`ll give a 6.5/10 maybe a 7/10...

[mamres_vjosa@myway.com]

I PERSONALLY THINK THIS ALBUM IS BETTER THAN THE BLACK ALBUM AND KINGDOM COME PUT TOGETHER .......

[keepitthoro]

I PERSONALLY THINK THIS ALBUM IS BETTER THAN THE BLACK ALBUM AND KINGDOM COME PUT TOGETHER .......

wow :smh:

[DatNiGGaBePloTTiN]

afta listenin ta tha album about twice..id give it a 6.5/10 or 7/10...a couple of aiight songs on there..more worse than betta tho

My Selections:
No Hook
Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)
Party Life
Ignorant Shit (feat. Beanie Sigel)
Success (feat. Nas)


and its real funny how tha one song wit lil wayne on is rated tha highest :smh: GET OFF LIL WAYNE DICK RN

[Clevelandplaya3]

best song on cd - Say Hello

[crunk_king]

^^
y young buck look scared as hell?

lol

[thesagacontinues]

i gave it a 6...probly would've said 5.5

shit was aight

and don't give me that "Oh you young niggaz don't understand cuz this is grown folks music" bullshit! If a song is wack a song is wack. This shit ain't going over nobody's head. The whole "concept" album theme wasn't executed very well IMO.

This album has no replay value with the exception of 2-3 songs maybe

:sorry:

[c.w]

i like this album

[threats06]

This album is a BIG improvement over kingdom come...i kinda put it on the same level as "Black Album." It's well but together from beginning to end and alot of the songs have replay value...the only track i can't get into is Hello Brooklyn..to much drums:smh:...but nonetheless is an 9/10 for me.:D

[gslade1]

it's an ok cd

[CookCityPenn]

9 out of 10
porky your a jayz hater..being so y start this thread:ahhh:
'sweet'

[drewillis]

Classic Jay

[BlackMan]

all i got to say is RN got some of the dumbest niggas EVA on this site for the "hello brooklyn" to have the best average and all the other scores r 6 and below :smh:

[DatNiGGaBePloTTiN]

7 out of 10

this album isn't that bad but far from great

[ЃΘςζίτψђџڪτια]

9/10

lil kids hatin on here

............


Say Hello is fire...4/10..get the fuck outta here

[Flipm0de]

Damn a LOT of Jay-Z haters on here :smh:

8 out of 10 on here are some bullshit biased reviews. Even if Jay dropped another "Reasonable Doubt" people would hate on it and give it 1-5/10 :smh:

This album is just damn good compared to all the bullshit that comes out these days.

Its a 9/10 for me.

[LimiL8]

This album is a top 5 jay-z album

so curious to see what you cats out there think is better than this album?

i think most ppl have been so hypnotized and become deaf by no-substance songs like "ey bay bay" and "throw some D's" etc.... u can't even train your ear to follow any song that would make you listen to it more than once to catch the lyrical twist and schematics.


HIP HOP IS SOOOOOO DEAD.....IN SOOO MANY WAYS AND U MUTHAFUKKAS ARE THE ONE'S THAT KILLED IT, ALONG WITH ALL THESE RAPPERS THAT PULL THESE BACKSTABBING PUBLICITY STUNTS....

[OutHu$tle]

havent heard it tho..but from da responses i most likely will download later

[Tronn]

3/10..


You say that with Game in your sig.

A 9/10. If you say 8 I'd give it to you. Listen to it at least 8 times this week.

[Fuck Who U With]

you guys will hate on anything you can
i give it a 9

[ThaTopBo$$]

9...are y'all mad?? listen to this album. i thought Jay did outstanding on Kingdom Come (i may stand alone there) but Jay was on some other shit on this one. definitiely the best of 07 for sure. this one shits on KC and everything Jay has put out for sure.

[stacks]

i give a 5 i only listened to it once

i wont listen to it again

jay can rap i just dont like the american gangster concept

he's like 39 he hasn't sold any drugs in probably like 10 yrs

i dont like the shit he spits about anymore

[Thuggin07]

8 or 9 outta 10 for sure...i kno its not quite reasonable doubt or maybe even blueprint (at least to me) but there is no way in hell it deserves a 5.5/10...aint no music out thats better right now...and that lil wayne track was WACK!!!

[DJ Squeeky]

[East London's Finest]

6.. avg

[East London's Finest]

looool @ the wayne track getting an 8/10 with all the others getting 2-6/10

y'all are sooo far up dude's arse it stinks!! :smh:

[bcrawford84]

its ok but i think he's falling off a bit and why would u put ignorant shit on there? that song is 3 years old is he running out of material

[Da-Inf4mou5-PosE]

:walkman: Roc Boys :walkman:

[$.ʍƐəzϒ]

its ok but i think he's falling off a bit and why would u put ignorant shit on there? that song is 3 years old is he running out of material

...But its Relevant though...

[ReaLST-AssYriaN]

8.....

[jovenpoppi]

YALL ARE FUCKING STUPID... THIS IS A CLASSIC... IF YOU DONT THINK REASONABLE DOUBT, BLACK ALBUM, BLUEPRINT ARE CLASSICS DEN U ARE OBVIOUSLY A JAY HATER AND OF COURSE YOU WOULDNT APPRECIATE THIS 1 BUTANY REAL JAY FANS WILL AGREE DIS IS STR8T CLASSIC MUSIC

[SupaStarStatus]

8.

The Lil Wayne track is the worst song on it!!

[abe17004]

best lp this year outside of kanye's graduation

[D Mags 211]

great album as far as classic hip hop goes. Number 4..behind Reasonable Doubt, Blue Print and Black album, you expect him to make ground breaking stuff everytime?

Best Rapper Alive... no doubts

8.5/10

10 being Illmatic and Reasonable doubt
2 being the drought 3 mixtape

[bricktop85]

5/10...

[Game Tyme]

i liked almost evry track 8/10

[Two Cheesy]

I liked the mix tape better

[niggawaiianmix]

I listened to it twice and it was aight. I gave it a 6/10 because it wasn't anything special. Jay Z thinks he's untouchable and is the best d boy to ever do it that's all I heard. Haters hate or do whatever u gotta do

[Internazionale]

:smh: :smh: @ people on rn giving chris brown album 9/10 and sayin this albums wack

[TwoFace Project]

7 or 8 but i accidently voted 10 ;p

[KΙNG]

7 out of 10

[J-Town815]

8/10//

[Juice07]

why is the song with lil wayne rated highest thats like the worst song on the album. quality is bad the song is annoying and it sounds like they didn't go in the studio at the same time they jus get swappin the track to each other. bad rating.

[β0SS.YUN₲]

:smh: :smh: @ people on rn giving chris brown album 9/10 and sayin this albums wack

^^^^^^^^^^^^

[By The Book]

the dopest tracks IMO are

-pray
-no hook
-fallin
-ignorant shit
-blue magic

only bad track is the one with lil wayne. beat is lame & verses are too.

[76xCLUMZY-Gx11]

i didnt vote cuz i didnt d/l it

[Joka]

[bobbysmith]

this album is in Jay's top 3. Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint American Gangster. In times like these, no one else is making music this good or though provoking. Kanye is an exception.

I know it is March and that album has been out.... but the cd is hot from start to finish. How dare anyone say it's not?
and on this rating thing... you gave FAT JOE a better rating?
Fat Joe even knows he will never have a cd better than Jay
Hmm maybe Jay needs to create a complicated dance or start two stepping and everyone will love it.
Niggas are haters, period. I guess his new song with Mary J Blige is whack too... (doubt it)..Shit fire.
I'm signin off...
