Hey I'm in australia & the flick ain't droppin here till january, so I been kinda puttin off gettin the album since he apparently mentions hell characters from the film etc. For people who have heard the album or seen the film would you say its worth waiting to see the movie before listening to the album???
Like is the album difficult to get wit out seein the film or is it heaps more enjoyable to listen to once u seen the flick. Jus cos I was hell anticipating this album I wanna have the maximum enjoyment listening to it hahah
holla
-
not at all. talkin bout putting out product and calling it the same shit that was nicky barnes style
-
Im still in shock about how bad Jay's album was. I mean I knew he fell off but even this was surprising.
-
dope album 8)
-
^^^^
word u seen the flick? what ur opinion on what i ask in the thread homie?
-
Yeah I saw the flick and I can tell ya, Jiggas new definitely ain't more enjoyable after seeing the movie, sorry! Same weak effort..
I enjoyed watching this movie more than listening to the cd and I used to be a Jigga fan!
-
Only saw the movie last night but had already heard the album, i wouldnt worry about waiting to see the movie before hearing the album.
-
this album is a disgrace to once great jay z. roc boys is only song thats worth being released. but dude will make millions releasin this album, gotta say thats sth to admire. fuck the industry
-
Dunno about the movie, haven't seen it yet, but I think the album was good.
-
movie is a future classic i think
the album ain't bad at all
SMH at all the jay-z haters

good jay-z album! great movie too!

The album is a disgrace. end of discussion. Jay used to be a god on the mic and now he cant even release a average album. There were 2 good tracks on American Gangster the rest was puke. The song with Wayne was one of the worst songs I have ever heard. It felt like I was being tortured during some of the songs, it was so sloppy. pathetic album.
-
I couldn't wait & from what yall were sayin it didnt really matter if u seen the flick or not plus I'll catch it when it comes out and re listen to the album.
First off I can't believe how heaps of yall think this album is weak, or maybe its cos after reading this thread I had such low expectations, but me personally i thought this album was awesome all the shit fits in well I even liked hello brooklyn wit lil wayne haha.
Yall shld listen again cos the shit is crazy, real happy wit this purchase. Jay-Z is fucking insane i cant believe he can still make an album like this after 10 years in the game!
-
haven't seen the movie yet. I'll give more comment about this after watching it.

Ah ok, I wasn't expecting it to be "Reasonable Doubt level" either, but i guess it's worth checking out.

I listened to the first "retail" rip of the album but I just got a 320 rip of it from my friend who bought it so i'll check it out again and make a second judgement.

WTF??? am I the only one that thinks American Gangster is dope album that will also go down as one of Jayz' best album in his career and easily best album of the year?
I am seriously surprised how bad so many ppl on this site thought this album was...and I'm not even a Jayz fan like that...

Nah you are not the only one. I thought it was dope also, not his best but at least he sounded hungry again after he sleep walked through most of Kingdom Come.
-
:) i think jay z always have been overrated, he make corny songs with beyonce.. But anyway i liked the black album realy dope.. American gangsta sound kind off boring, he is trying to reach out for that classic gansta 1940 ghetto style.. I like 2 or 3 songs off the album, rest off it just sound boring to special for me.. :-\
-
the album is getting ALOT of hate lol, there were alot of stupid/wack songs on it tho but songs like
Pray
American Dreamin
No Hook
Fallin
Roc Boys
are classic
-
I am completely perplexed! this is a very good album some of the production is questionable but especially lyrically, this album is top notch and those that idolise Killa Killa should not be talking down this album lol.
-
am all about west coast music and my first listen to jay album i was like ''oh...am bored but when i listen to it again i changed my mind completely its a good album..it will go dow as one of the few jay z albums i like...right now blue print and dis top my list ..will think of the other later.
and the best album of the year for me is CHAMMILLIONAIRE!!!!.since i got it ..i never believe i can listen to a whole album from a southside rapper from top to bottom all over and over again..there's no way its not going into one of my personal classic colection and the subject matter and what he talks about impress me a lot..props to cham.
for the record cassidy droped a good album too and i think he deserve to sell but he should make a good chioce for his single...
Right now al i need is someone from the west to drop something dope...i need it....comeon CUBE!!!!!!!!

Re: Jay-Z's American Gangster more enjoyable listen after watching the flick?????
--------
The album is boring overall and I've heard the movie is real good, but I highly doubt that the album is better after watchin the movie
