"The Black Album" - Jay-Z
« on: November 27, 2002, 03:10:57 PM »
Jay-Z
The Black Album
2003
Roc-a-fella Records

"With seven platinum-plus albums, his stakes in Roc-a-Fella Records and Rocawear clothing, producing films and a distribution deal with Armadale vodka, Jay-Z's future looks brighter than ever. Sales for his combined interests in 2002 are projected at more than $300 million. And yet, amongst all this success, there is talk of retirement.

"My next album will be 'The Black Album' and then that's it. I want to make it a prequel to Reasonable Doubt, leading up to me having an idea for a song…and that's how the album's going to end," Jay told the Los Angeles Times. He continued to explain that he wanted to "loop the whole thing back together, make it a nice package, and that's it - it truly, truly is." Jay wants to move on to different things.

At this point in his life, Jay-Z is ready to offer his expertise to the rap game as an executive. His hopes include to become more involved with Roc-a-Fella's business element so that he can work with new artists, watch them grow, help them along the way and ultimately succeed.

Currently, Jay-Z's The Blueprint 2 hit #1 on the charts and sold 545,000 copies in its first week. He also appears on the 8 Mile soundtrack and on Missy's and Snoop's new albums."

I expect this album to be a undisputed hip-hop classic.

Nothing more, nothing less... I really hope Jigga succeeds.

Regardless of what happens, after his retirement he will be remembered as one of the greatest, most talented rap artists of our time.

Needless to say, I can't wait for the album... peace.

I expect this album never to see the light of day.  Jigga can't bare to leave the spotlight.  I would have believed him had he not made the exact same statement 4 years ago.

Hmmm... First off came Reasonable Dount, supposedly a one off.

Then dude said he was dropping one more album. But soon that one turned to two. And on "City Is Mine" he rapped: "I'mma hit you with these last two then split / and leave niggas with nothin' but my influence."

But then came Vol.3...

...then The Dynasty...

...then the Blueprint...

...then Unplugged...

...then Best of Both Worlds...

...then a Greatest Hits...

... then the Blueprint 2...

...and we're supposed he'll ever bow out?

Personally I don't mind, I'm a fan. But I know a lot of people here ain't feeling Jay - he really needs to stop teasing them with promises of retirement.

I always knew your disliking of Jay-z was strictly musical and not personal as some might've mistaken. ;D


We are all human beings isn't that a good enough reason for peace?

The reason why he says that is because he wants to sell records.

It's going to be one disk.  I think you might have got the 3 disk idea from when Biggie said he would make the triple CD Born Again after Life After Death then follow that with The Black Album.
