"The Black Album" - Jay-Z

(1/4) > >>

Murrow:
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."

See if this shit sticks.

Instigator:
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.

Twentytwofifty:
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.
