Man I'm loving this CD. Definitely one of Jay-Z's best to date and he has had so many good ones even though he had the mediocre Kingdom Come. However I think I could finally give his album a review after listening it to 4 whole times already.
Tracks:
1. Intro (No grade it's just an intro)
2. Pray 10/10 Beyonce just has minor vocals but it really contributes to the track
3. American Dreamin 10/10 One of the most soulful tracks on the album
4. Hello Brooklyn 2.0 F/Lil Wayne 10/10 You got to love this song it's catchy as hell it has a nice hook as well. Weezy did his thing and made this track hot. Please let this be the next single.
5. No Hook 10/10 The title says it all damn right who needs a hook for this **** when you can spit rhymes like that
6. Roc Boys (And The Winner Is) F/Kanye West 10/10 You know I love this one, I think this one should be a top 10 hit for him as well, lyrics are hot, hook is hot as well especially with Kanye with the minor vocals as well. Makes it more catchier
7. Sweet 10/10 The track is sweet
8. I Know 10/10 Pharell did a nice job on the hook just like he did on Blue Magic. Him and Hov make a good team. The I Know part is very catchy. Beat is nice
9. Party Life 10/10 pretty damn soulful as well. Great sample
10. Ignorant **** F/Beanie Sigel 10/10 I really love how Just Blaze took the beat from "Between The Sheets" by the Isley Brothers and turned into something very nice and soulful.
11. Say Hello 10/10 Pretty damn catchy. This song was in my head all day as well
12. Success F/Nas 10/10 4 words. Let this bitch breathe!
13. Fallen 10/10 Amazing!
14. Blue Magic 10/10 I liked this one ever since I've heard it
15. American Gangster 10/10 Not as catchy as the others. But will probably grow on me. EDITED IN: Never mind this song is pretty damn soulful as well. I am so glad he went back to his ways.
Top 5 Tracks:
5. No Hook
4. Say Hello
3. Blue Magic F/Pharrell
