Format:Audio CD
Jay-Z is one of my favorite rappers but this is crap. Back in 97 people knew this was crap but as the years went on it got more and more credit while Vol 2 got less as well as Vol 3. this album has boring simple beats and stupid lyrics about girls mostly. The only good songs are friend foe and streets is watching peace.

After releasing the CLASSIC Reasonable Doubt in 96, heads wondered if Jay-Z could take his first album. Sadly, he COULDN'T, but, with this album, even with all of the criticism that came(too pop), Jigga STILL managed to drop a classic album, an excellent follow up to Reasonable Doubt. Here's the review:
Album Highlights: The entire album, EXCEPT I Know What Girls Like and Sunshine. Feel free to skip those songs.
Production: Thumbs up, he basically had the same people on this album that he had on Reasonable Doubt.
Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up.
Originality: Thumbs up.
The Last Word: Jay-Z proved the doubters wrong on this album. It's NOT better than his first one, but it's ONE EXCELLENT album from him. If those two aforementioned songs weren't included on this album, this would be an automatic five stars. But, it only gets four. Overall, a strong recommendation for Jay-Z fans.

1997 was the last year of hip-hop's golden era. I bought this CD back in 1998 and it's still in my rotation today. The album kicks of with Premo's One In A Million/Rhyme No More joint. This album has so many highlights, but I won't go into them all. The only thing about this CD I didn't like was Track 3 with Puffy and Sunshine, but joints like Imaginary Player, Streets is Watching, and Where I'm From completely make up for it. This album was right before Jay-Z decided to turn into Jiggaman and H to the Izzo. Don't get me wrong, he still makes good/great songs, he just can't seem to make good/great albums anymore (exception Blueprint LP). Oh yeah, it's funny how "the real Jay-Z fans" haven't had a chance to review this CD huh.
