This album is better than what you wish Kingdom Come was. It feels like summer of '96 or '98 good. It's summer of 2001 Good. It's the Jay-Z from "I love the dough" The Jigga Man from "Big Pimpin" HOVA from "Izzo" and "Renegade" S dot Carter from "Come and Get Me" Hot Hov from "I just wanna Love Ya" and slick like a gato as ever like "Can't Knock the Hustle" It's like Jay is sayin "haha, fooled ya. I ain't lost a step." What's your favorite Jay-Z album? It don't matter, this album is as good or better. What's your favorite Jay quote? It don't matter, you're about to have a new one. I'm tellin ya, Go out to your local Best Buy (drop by and say hi) and buy it. Buy 2 or 3. Cause even though you're gonna rip it and throw it on your I-Pod, you'll still cry if you scratch the disc. It's that good.
What's great about it: Old school vibe. Instant Classic
What's not so great: I wish the last 2 tracks flowed with the rest of the album
