Title: Since Jay-Z is back in the headlines...
Post by: jeromechickenbone on October 31, 2007, 09:49:39 PM
I thought I'd mention this:

I'll say that The Black Album is overrated by most people, caught up in the hype of his "retirement" (if you believed that shit for 1 second, slap yourself), hype of the big name producers, etc.  The songs on there were mostly average, a couple crappy ones, and about 3 really good joints. 

However, he did manage to drop a joint that I'd rate about a 9.5 outta 10.  From the intro by a legend, when the beat drops in, and Jay's closest "Originators" flow since "Jigga What", topped off with a dope concept for attacking a track.

Bump this shit loud, trust me.
