^^^Either can I, I dont think anyone can knock his hustle but I agree that for the most part Jay has not been listenable since The Black Album, and although I think that was a good album I don't think it was as great as a lot of people think it is. Jay in his prime is top 10 but I dont think he has been that great at all for several years now.

I don't care about Jay's hustle. That's not what I look for in an artist.
This was such a damn great album. I think many people disliked it because they made up their minds it was crap after hearing the terrible "Kingdom Come" album.This album is so fantastic, especially to see a popular NY artist release an album without any mainstream sounding forced tracks. The production on this album is so dope and old school NY sounding, and Jigga fits all the beats perfectly. MAJOR PROPS need to go to Diddy, LV and Sean C for their production work on this This is one of Jigga's best produced albums, right next to RD, BA and Blueprint.I can't believe this was the follow up to Kingdom Come, what a drastic upgrade lol.The only track I dislike even a bit is Hello BrooklynPray - 5/5American Dreamin' - 5/5Hello Brooklyn - 3.75/5No Hook - 5/5Roc Boys - 5/5Sweet - 4.25/5I Know - 4/5Party Life - 4.5/5Ignorant Shit - 4.25/5Say Hello - 4.5/5Success - 4.5/5Fallin' - 4.5/5Blue Magic - 4.25/5American Gangster - 4/5top 5 in Jigga's disco, a great album. I dunno how so many ppl hate Jigga. He's certainly 1 of the greatest to ever do it. I can't fucking wait for the Blueprint 3!
his flow is just off the chains on Party Life & Fallin'!

Considering how rushed the release of 'American Gangster' was, its not a bad album except for "Hello Brooklyn".'Kingdom Come' on the other hand,... Garbage on Jay's part. The production minus a couple tracks were on point though.
I couldn't agree less.kingdom come wasn't great but it showed growth as a man as an artist and the lyrics showed that.the subject matter was exactly what I wanted to hear because it was realistic,it was grown up music.But people hate change so they hated on the album they just wanted the same boring drug talk from him that hasn't been a part of his life for what almost 20 years now?he took a chance with it he took some flack then went back to the same boring subject matter.sure the production was solid but I found the album to be a step back for him.
