07 Music

The Good:Nothing feel's forced on "American Gangster".Jay-Z just let's the music play and spit's hustler story's over big beat's with string's and drum's that are fit for the big screen.There's nothing like rolling through LA with this bumping late at night time.Then after "Kingdome Come"when muthafuckas could let go off the fact the last time jay made a drug deal having a cellphone was a rare thing he was abel to make the music he wanted with out any problem's.Im also a lil crabby over the fact i didnt get to bring in the new year at a club with "Roc Boys"playin.This album is alot like "Graduation" in someway's.Where there was nothing as big as "Jesus Walks" or Touch The Sky".Here there isnt a "Izzo" or "Encore"or banger like "P.S.A." but if they tried for that giant song this would of felt forced.Where in hip-hop everyone's trying so hard to find the latest dance or "suprise colabo",jay just saw a movie.Got some inspiration.Saw who had some beat's.And did a handful of song's.Then aranged them from "American Dreamin" to "Party Life" to "Success" and leaving the ring with "Fallin".It's just done right.

And evein though it's goin back to the bend's for old soul record's it has it's sound.That's what i like about jay's music eveing though it's the same genre of music that there sampling you can still tell the "blueprint"sound from the "black album" sound.

The Bad:"Brooklyn 2.0" is just um bad.Then i heard about the a song that was leaked from "The Black Album" called "Ignorant Shit"that jay put on.I thought man it leaked and it's goin on must be hot cause i didnt hear it befor.Then i was just like

"oh is tha all"

Jay would of been better off with somethin new.

But the real bad is his music is for the 25 and up more so now.And he's been spittin over soul beat's since 2000.Rember "This Cant Be Life".I would just wanna hear a new "Jay-Z sound".

Also just as a mc what we got on "Blueprint" and "The Black Album" was much more raw but poolished.Here it's not bad but fuck jay's just kind of coasting.It's like denzel playing a hero can he do it good-yes.Can he do it great-hell yhea.Dosent mean he cant try something new.That's the case for the production here.Which is good but shit hov switch it up.
