Anyways, in 2000, the "Roc", as he likes to call his label, decides to release sort of a compilation album, showcasing all of the so-called "great" artists from Rocafella Records called The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. However, just before its release, Jay-Z decides to be egotistical and slap ... Read review

Advantages: Some of Jay-Z's contributions, Some Listenable Material, Improvement over last 2 albums.. Disadvantages: Rocafella Records is putrid pile of waste
Jay-Z began his career with so much promise that its ridiculous for me to state it. Along with Damon Dash, he founded Rocafella Records, and released the untimely classic known as Reasonable Doubt. Since then, he signed emcees who are supposedly his proteges including Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, Amil, and most recently: Freeway, Cam'Ron, M.O.P., and Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Undoubtedly Jay-Z has the necessary talent to produce classic material, however similarly to Nas and arguably Biggie his follow up albums to Reasonable Doubt ... ...their moments. This brings me to The Dynasty, which unfortunately is worse than Reasonable Doubt, but better than Volume 2 and Volume 3 in my opinion. The main problem with this album is simply the volume of guest appearances due to Jay-Z trying to introduce the rest of "La Familia", namely Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel and the now retired Amil (Thank God). Having said this, there are some really outstanding tracks that I will discuss in more detail ...
