and I do mean ERA kuz he old as fuck, and the amount of features on every album. Only reason hova happened to stay consistant, was the lack of talent in the game around his era.
#Jay z reasonable doubt illegal download crack
He never sold crack on a bus, and sold yayo, and his mic skills are extremely mediocre. Great album, but personally like Blueprint or Black Album better.Įxcept that, Jay-z is a joke, a complete fraud and a phony, pretty ugly exposed his ass for what he was. At the same time they do make it an album you should probably download: But they just do not make this album a classic or a must-have. the good songs more than make up for the bad ones. Because even though it doesn't look right on my grade scale. Now to sound contradicting, I will give this album an 86. and there are at least 3 or 4 of them.Ħ1-80: Half are good songs, half are weakĨ1-100: Great listening experience, almost all are great songs But the songs that are bad, are just bad (bad as in fucking terrible). no one will ever duplicate the vibe that you get from "Dead Presidents II". The songs that are "amazing" on this album are truly once-in-a-lifetime. this album is hard to listen to the whole way through without once pressing the skip button.
The reason I defined classic is because I believe "Reasonable Doubt" is not a classic, although the songs "Dead Presidents II" and "D'evils" are probably among rap's top 10 songs ever made. Classics are albums that take a genre of music to a level once thought unattainable and are consistently great the whole way through. "Illmatic" is a classic, "Capital Punishment" is a classic, and "Uptown Saturday Night" is a classic. I don't call albums classics unless they are classics. when you use a word so liberally, it's overall importance and value greatly diminishes.
some call "Tha Carter III" a classic, and some call every Nas album a classic. People nowadays mention the word "classic" in every other sentence. Regrets- Slow chill beat, equipped with chilling lyrics by a guilt ridden Sean Carter. and with the right members (Big Jaz and Sauce Money mentored Jay for years).ġ4. This Roc-A-Fella autobiography is narrated in a real gritty way. Bring It On- The instrumental sounds somewhat like "Kick, Push", and the Kid Capri sample fits the vibe perfectly. but I can tell you that this song is classic, "I'd rather die enormous, than live dormant".ġ3. Can I Live- I'm guessing Beyonce can answer the question pretty thoroughly. The song structure is kind of lame, but it still sounds pretty good.Ĩ. 22 Two's- The ever-necessary "Fuck The Haters" song. D'evils- This song is the reason that Jay is still a legend after making "Kingdom Come", why Preemo is still a legend even though he now works with Christina Aguilera and The Black Eyed Peas, and the reason Snoop still has a job and a reality show. but Jay murders this track and exhibits his flow versatility. Feelin It'- A last second Jay record, this was supposed to be a Camp Lo track. Say what you want about the subject matter, but it cannot be examined more poetically than this.ĥ. This song is so much more than simply a hip hop classic. People just don't make beats like this anymore, nor do people even approach Jay's lyricism on this track. Dead Presidents II- With one instrumental change, you go from playful to somber. And you might notice Superman's superb production job.
Brooklyn's Finest- The aforementioned Biggie feature, notice the rap-battle aspect of this song. but you have to wait for the final verse if you want to witness Hov's equally unique lyricism.ģ. Politics As Usual- Just an introduction to Sean Carter's unique flow. This album is considered a classic, and the epitome of "Mafioso Rap", so is it worthy of your collection? I'll help you decide:Ģ. And even Biggie decided to offer a feature job. Clark Kent, and Primo later joined after discovering Jay's potential. Once word got around, Ski (Camp Lo producer) offered Jay a few instrumentals. but not making enough money, started a record label known as Roc-A-Fella Records, with his cronies Damon Dash and Kareem Burke. As legend goes, Jay started out appearing in Jaz-O tracks. Before he had enough money to fill an Olympic sized pool, Hovito was an disgruntled cocaine dealer who decided to give rap a try.
