...HIts hits hits...
JAyz.. Jahovah... jigga man Ht o the izzo hes had a few and boy did they hit.. From the mean streets of new yorks Marcy Projects came a young man named Sean Carter after years hustling for nickels and dimes this young poet with a per gent for ha wain shirts stepped up to the plate and belted out some of hip hops most memorable songs..
Cant knock the hustle, Hardknocklife they're all here..
verse after verse of stunning word play catchy hooks breakneck beats and witty .... well .... witticisms.
Jay shows time and again why hes the king of new york by making it look easy..
After retirement and coming out of retirement it all seems a bit commercial these days but at least when jay went commercial he made tracks that banged..
As a completest you've already got these tracks... but for the occational listener...

Advantages: No matter what your mood, you can unwind to this Disadvantages: It is a greatest hits CD, so you might have herd a few of the songs
...Jay - z ! Arguabley one of the best that ever lived, and this greatest hits CD is proof.
Its packed with some amazing tracks from the past decade, and although its a greatest hits CD, there are a few unheard tracks too!
It features 18 tracks , some of which included are ' hardknocklife', ' i know what girls like', 'dead presidents 2' and 'regrets'
It features the sounds of many artists, Puff Daddy, Beanie Seigal and Mary J Blige to name a few.
There is something on this CD for everyone and is perfect to listen to what ever mood you in, wheather it be emotional or you have a party vibe.
I am not really a big fan of Jay-z and i dont regularly go out and buy CD's but I heard this at a friends house and I was instantly hooked!
This is a must have for fans and new listeners!
P.s, Look out for 'More money,More Cash,Moe Hoes'...

I have been a big fan of Linkin Park since the Hybrid Theory album and although I've never bough a Jay-Z album (I did purchase "HardKnockLife" as a single…), I have admired his apparently endless talent and influence on the music scene. So you can imagine my excitement when I first heard that an album of Jay-Z Vs. Linkin Park was on the way. I was even more excited when I heard the single Numb/Encore.
However, when I...
