Message In The Music/Travelin' At The Speed Of Thought - O'Jays (The)

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. Jay-Z is supposedly building a dynasty, but unfortunately for him his record label spews from an amazing lack of talent, with only about two or three respectable lyricists, and the rest being complete trash. Since releasing Reasonable Doubt his record label, as well as his bank account, has grown tremendously, but unfortunately for Jay, his respect has detetiorated. As each album that he released since his classic has consistently gotten worse and worse with no improvement... Read review

Advantages: Kingdom Come is Jay Z latest album and it is off the hook!great songs
Disadvantages: to be honest, there is no disadvantage with the product, the DVD and CD are excellent

...Kingdom Come is Jay Z latest album from Roca-fella records in three years. It has been relaesed due to the notion that hip-hop is dead and jay z is here to resserecte it. The album is so good, it features Nas and has work done by pharrell wiiams from N.E.R.D, and timbaland. The album contains hit songs such 'show me what you got' , 'album title, 'kingdom come' and 'lost one' ft. chrissete michele. The DVD is also a great watch. I would highlt recommend this album adn DVD to everyone it is a great piece of music tha will definatlely o down in history. Jay Z's album and DVD is perfect for hardcorehip hop fans so ladies impress him this christmas or birthday.... Read review

Advantages: Lyrically Fantastic,
Disadvantages: Music Is A Letdown By Jay-z Standards

...Well when i heard jay-z was making a new album like any other jay-z fan i was over the moon because i absolutely think the guy is a legend at what he does. When i bought the CD and played it back i thought to myself this is lyrically i fantastic album and jay-z back to his best but on the other hand when i listened to it again i was thinking to myself this album was been hyped up two much. I can back this up because as i said lyrically the album is great but what i feel let the album down is the constant poor music to accompany the lyrics. I know jay-z is know for his older style music but when i listen to this i don't think you should have a album titled American Gangster and use childish music to go with the lyrics that he has produced. My experience of the CD is average i would recommend to buy it if you are a jay-z fan but not what i... Read review
