This album is basically trash. Jay-Z changed his format. From a fast rhyming MC doing cameos on Original Flavor and Big Daddy Kane, to versatility in his previous albums, to just living the fantasy life in this album. The hip hop fans may boo me for this but it's freedom of speech so I'm not hating. It is basically fact that he bit the sell out apple. Only four tracks are hot and three of them are featuring Memphis Bleek. This album went from bad to worse. To all your Jigga fans: I don't follow trends. I listen to what's appealing to my ears. In my personal opinion, I do not listen to cristal popping, and drug pushing because I don't live it. If hip hop is about lying to the fans, play with their emotions about being a playa or drug pusher and actually do not live that lifestyle, then I must quit listening to the artform called hip hop.
