I havent bought this compilation album yet,but I will on November 22,2010.I have all of Jay-Z's albums,and I must say that this is a really solid tracklisting of greatest hits songs so far,Jay-Z did a good job of picking out the songs,and I like Def Jam for giving him creative control over this project while still giving distribution along with Roc Nation. I just remember when I was 6 years old in 1998 when Jay release Vol.2 Hard Knock Life,and I would sneak into my brothers room while he was asleep just to listen to that album.So Hard Knock Life including the song has a sentimental value to me,as its clearly a classic.
Must Top 6 songs on here (that I would recommend to anybody) in no order are
1)Roc Boys
2)Show Me What You Got
3)Dirt Off Your Shoulders
4)Pump It Up Freestyle
5)Empire State Of Mind
6)Public Service Announcement

If your a Jay-Z fan or simply a supporter of Hip-Hop culture,go out and get this album,dont get the regular version,get the Deluxe Edition ,the Double Disc version which includes a bonus disc full of classics.
Even though I dont think this album is on Roc-A-Fella,its always gonna be Roc-A-Fella Forever ya heard,Roc-A-Fella is when/why I fell in love with Hip-Hop

I wanted to be the first to rate Drake's Thank Me Later.I know it will be a classic.He has the lyrical ability of Jay-Z,singing better than Kanye West,and he has his own sound in general.Something new,a breathe of fresh air for rap.Im going to reserve this,cause i have a feeling it will sell out like Get Rich Or Die Tryin did back in 2003,and how T.I.'s Paper Trail did back in 2008.
To all the haters go cop it,man makes great music,and for his age.Dr.Dre,Swizz Beatz,Boi-1da,Kanye West,and Timbaland should be enough right.When i get the album next month guys i will give a breakdown of Thank Me Later. To me in 1 year he will pass LilWayne,shoot to me he already has.

This is one of his best albums.The beats by Dr.Dre,Just Blaze,DJ Khalil,Pharrell are great beats.The only 2 songs i dont like are Hollywood,and Beach Chair,but when i went to buy this album with my brother,i was so hyped when i got it ,and once i heard Trouble by Dr.Dre i was hooked.This is a great Jay-Z album.If you are a real hip-hop fan,and you like lyrics get this album.But if you are just looking for gangster material,guns,drugs,and women,then you might not like this one,since Jay was trying to evolutionize by doing something different in his career which spawned him over 2 million sales.
What's great about it: Great Lyrics,Beats,and subject matter
What's not so great: Only 2 songs(but its still a 5 star album)

Tie with Get Rich Or Die Tryin/10 outa 10 album
on November 22, 2009
Posted by: Gio1766
from Augusta,Ga
this is a great album.The beats go hard,and 50 is really back on his stuff.This album sounds like he isn't competing with anyone,and its why he is in his zone on this one.Dr.Dre,DJ Khalil,Tha Bizness,and a bunch of other producers i've never heard of laced 50 up with some great beats.My favorite songs on there are Stretch,The Invitational,So Disrespectful,Crime Wave,Do You think about me,Could've been you,basically the whole album.
What's great about it: Hot beats,sick lyrics,real subject matter,Great Movie
What's not so great: NOTHING

I honestly think this is better than some of his older stuff like Vol. 1,Reasonable Doubt,and Dynasty Roc La Familia, but doesnt mean there not all classics to em This is a must have not just for a Jay-Z fan but for a real rap fan as well. Its a new classic, becuase Hov seems more relaxed and set to Remind people who Hov is. Great album, love it. This is in my top 5 favorite Jay albums, and in my top 10 fav albums of all time.
What's great about it: Great Hov Classic

This is a great Collectors item, and it shows Roc-A-Fella is still very well alive. I already had Blueprint 1 & 2, but me being a big Jay fan i went out and bought this anyway as a collectors pack. If your a big Jay-Z fan or if you don't already have Blueprints 1 & 2 this is a really good deal seeing as you get both for only $20,when if you buy separate you pay about $26.
What's great about it: Everything, and Nostalgic For Me

By ILoveMaroon5

i previewed the album on Maroon 5's myspace and i heard most of the songs on this album. THEY ARE GREAT HITS!!! i recommend buying this album if you love the work by Maroon 5 or want to check out this album which has a little blues and country mixed in with rock. I love Maroon 5 and this is a great comeback album!

GOOD Music and im not talking about Kanye West
September 19, 2010
I grew up listening to mainly Hip-Hop/R&B,and there are stereotypes that those of African American descent are weird if they listen to Rock,or were called white people if we do.Forget the haters,this is good music,laid back,but with some soul to it ,they're kind out like a blend of R&B/Soul/Pop/Rock mix.My birthday is friday this week(Sept 24) and i will buy this for my birthday,will mark the first time in my life i buy a Alternative Rock album on my 18th birthday.I like a lot of their music especially their Remix album which gave listeners something for everybody.

Overall
3 out of 5
3 out of 5Still has room for improvement
By SdotH
from New Orleans, LA
Being a fan of his music since his very first mixtape, as a fan, I'm disappointed. However, I'm a fan of music in general, and I can respect his music. He's not a hip hop artist and I think that label shouldn't be used for him. He's a good songwriter, and on this album he proves it with catchy hooks and choruses. He has a decent singing voice as well. Lyrically, this album doesn't showcase Drake's lyrical abilities. If his new fans listened to Comeback Season and the entire So Far Gone, they'd agree.
Overall, I give it a 3. To me, it's average. If I compare it to Recovery (Eminem), Attention Deficit (Wale) , Man on the Moon (Kid Cudi), Blueprint 3 (Jay Z), his album comes last place to those based on lyrical content and that's what I expected from Drake. It also lacks the emotion he had in So Far Gone..the mixtape not the one he sold.
Despite that, I think most people who don't care a lot about music and who would like just something catchy and good to listen to that they'd love the album.

Thank Me Later is better than Recovery & bp3
September 21, 2010
Sorry But i have to agree.When Comparing Thank Me Later to Blueprint 3 and Recovery,i have to say Thank Me Later is better than Recovery by a long shot.Blueprint is better but well i ,wait we cant compare Drakes album because its a Rap/R&B fusion album.Me personally when i first heard the album i fell in love with it more than Blueprint 3 hate to say it because ive been a Jay-Z fan since i was 4 years old.
Sorry people need to stop saying his lyricism is weak on this album,you dont know what your talking about,WALE IS TRASH,GARBAGE SO DONT BRING HIM INTO THIS DISCUSSION,MAN NEEDS TO GO PLATINUM FIRST BEFORE HE COMES INTO A HIP-HOP DISCUSSION
