After a somewhat half hearted attempt at early retirement, Jay Z is most definitely coming back with a bang. His album 'Kingdom Come' destined to drop on November 21st on Rocafella/Def Jam has features from Southern stars T.I and Bun
B who Jay collaborated with on 'Big Pimpin' with back in 2000. He also features fellow Rocafella co-horts, Memphis Bleek, Beenie Segal and Tru Life. Also showing up on this project will be Beyonce who returned the favor of his guest appearances on her recently released Birthday. She aids her man on a track titled 'You Remind Me'.
Production on the album can't get any better than this, Dr Dre adds his magic to a track featuring Mary J Blige called 'Tears' and Eminem produces and also features on 'Shades of Grey'. Other producers down with El Presidente on this come back which is slated to move approx. 1.5 million units the first week it hits shelves are, The Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Rick Rubin and The Runners.
Keeping pretty much to the same blueprint (no pun intended) as The 'Black Album', the additional cast members like the aforementioned Dr.Dre, Eminem and Chris Martin who along with band members Cold Play feature on the self titled track 'Til Kingdom Come', only enhance the standard of what we expect from Brooklyns finest.

Props, heard Nas is pushed back to December 19th.
-
Like i said yesterday, glad he returned from his 'retirement'. He is one of the few able to get a production list like this together.
-
looks more like Blueprint 2 imo... Bleek , Beyonce WTF :-X
-
Coldplay have a song called "Til Kingdom Come" on the latest album X&Y. I sure hope the track with Jay-Z isn't just a remake of that.
-
no Nas?
-
^^^ they got a song on Nas album
-
yeah, fuck this cd.
fuck jay-z.
...for letting Eminem being on this album... other than that I'm looking forward to this... 8)

^^^^I feel you on a lot of that. Jay is mad overrated. Black album was alright - it had a couple of classic tracks, but the vast majority of it was mediocre but it had a lot of big names associated with it, and it had the hype that it was his last album so of course people blow it out of proportion.
Here's my thing though: At this stage, Jay is gonna push crazy units regardless. He's just at that status level. I wish he'd take it back to his early days rhyming in doubles and triplets. Show rappers that they can be them and not conform to what everybody else is doing. Who's gonna stop him? He's runnin Def Jam, so it's his call.
Instead it sounds like he's making The Black Album II. I'm sure there will be dope tracks on there, but Jay has the ability to really do something with this album and it sounds like he's playing it really safe which is pretty weak imo. I mean damn, how many rap albums gotta have production from The Neptunes, Kanye, Timbo, Em, Dre, etc. Every goddamn album sounds the same. Switch it the fuck up. Come with 12 tracks with prodcution that the world has never heard. Get Rick Rubin to produce every track. TAKE SOME SORT OF FUCKING RISK!

I hear what you saying, if there's one rapper out there who can afford to take creative risks it's Jay...

exactly it fuckin disgusts me when artists are at the stage where theyre success is guaranteed and they still come with garbage. that ludacris joint with pharell is a perfect example
i will never give jay z props....look at all the singles hes dropped since 98. a swagger jackin dick rider to the fullest,
