This past Tuesday, Roc Boy Jay-Z released his anxiously anticipated new studio album, American Gangster. As many of you will be aware, Jigga's latest is a conceptual record influenced by both the movie that shares its title and S. Carter's ascent in Hip-Hop. Since American Gangster's release there has been fervent discussion in the community over whether or not Jay has delivered another classic. As a result, DubCNN decided to weigh in on the debate and have penned a review of the acclaimed record.

American Gangster receives the Dub Quotable: "The majority of those who embrace American Gangster, however, will not dwell on such punch-lines. Rather, they will be enthralled by what remains a plush, cinematic masterstroke," and earns an astonishing Dub Rating. To find out just how highly the album was scored, check the full review below:

STOP FRONTIN FOR JAY Z.   HE DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT U.


No one was "anxiously anticipating" this album.  On top of that, it was all rehashed material from his first 3 albums.


DubCnn turning into just another website.   There's no realness....   Or their writers don't know Hip-Hop roots.

i dont get it...are people not allowed to like jay-z anymore???

No, but we are allowed to recognize when a rapper is past his prime, and we are allowed to _not_ give him props on his newer material just cuz his past work was classic...

does that also give you due cause to moan about bias when somebody posts a review thats contrary to your own beliefs??...if ppl like it dey like it...i gotta say its solid from what ive heard...just glad i bothered with it after the waste of space that was "kingdom come"

idk it just seems like a lot of people jumped on the dipset bandwagon(not calling you or anyone out) just something ive noticed....which annoys me because fans arent affiliated..you can APPRECIATE BOTH!!
