But to everybody saying that this album is his worst, I don't really
agree. Yeah the old Jay-Z is more hardcore but what did you expect,
he's a multi-millionare now, back then he was just some kid hustling in
Brooklyn. I think for what it is, this album is pretty sick. He's not
sticking to his old formula, actually in one song he says,:
HOV on that new shit, n****s like how come,
N****s want my old shit, by my old album
That's exactly how I feel. He takes his shit in a new, decidedly
different direction, and I for one like it a lot. I'm not the only one.
