Days Of Our Lives Another up-and-coming producer of the time, Jake One, gets his chance, and between this and his other effort more on that later he may the the real MVP of the boards. Thought I should clarify. Solid, but not among the highlights of the album.

Now I got shit to do, you test tube baby! No Supa Dave takes a victory lap while ghost-riding a Jackson 5 sample to fantastic effect.

Whoever the hell Butta Verses is, he assists the Plugs to the degree that you could make a case for renaming him X-Tension Cord or some such thing. Nice all around. Rock Co. Kane Flow Fuck yes. The Plugs and MF Doom? Interesting subplot: one of the common complaints with Doom is that he goes off on weird lyrical tangents that make little sense. Although a De La album would be the perfect place to do so, Doom is roughly twenty times more focused than on his solo projects.

I could literally listen to this all day. Well, that was a thing that happened. Who knew that for De La Soul to make a great album, all they had to do was cut out all those silly-ass skits? However, I heard no signals of apathy on here; rather, I heard the voices of two legends who could and would do this all day, all decade and then some. Next up, nobody Jay-Z in recent years since about or so has grown fond of comparing himself to Michael Jordan, presumably to represent excellence.

Jay transitioned into retirement with a dreadful mash-up album with Linkin Park, a second dreadful collaborative album with R. This same inconsistency had begun on the second Blueprint, but that was just because it was a double album, right? A mixed bag overall. What the fuck? I was wrong. Show Me What You Got The first single from way back when, and the final Just Blaze contribution of the night, which seems to have come straight from the same bargain bin Jay found his rhymes in. I meant to write more about this song, but really, that kind of summed it up.

Dre collaborations begin now. This, however, hits both checkpoints: Jay tailors his newfound, choppier flow to the mellow beat with the steady, hard-hitting drums.

Do U Wanna Ride A strange hodgepodge here. So, what do you do with that? Jay waxes poeticals about coming to terms with maturity and whatnot. Ironically, the use of his new, supposedly mature flow is the only issue I can conceivably take with this track, and I can certainly overlook that. Bland rhymes, bland production, chorus that could have been written by a trained guinea worm I think that covers all the bases.

Anything But that was a picnic compared to this flaming bag of animal leavings dropped onto the porch that is your subconscious. I would rather stab my first-born progeny in the jugular with a plastic fork than hear this ever again. Hollywood And keeping with the apparent theme, this sounds like a Beyonce castoff with her vocals retained for the purpose of a chorus. Jay even sounds somewhat like his old self on here. I blame our public schools. Minority Report Jay hops on the Hurricane Katrina sympathy train over one year too late.

Not great, but not bad, and definitely not the norm of this album. This was his recording technique all through his career — even up to the retirement. Had he structured out and crafted songs organically, could Hov have gotten more of his groove back quicker? But rather than practice, he opted to run back into the game cold. Despite the frequent Jordan comparisons, Jay may be closer to Allen Iverson. So Jay-Z had mastered rap, as far as he was concerned.

He had appealed to the streets, the record-buying public, then both at the same time. So that meant it was time for that daunting task that has made mincemeat of so many artists before, after and eventually: the double album. Following up the near-classic Blueprint was almost as daunting in and of itself.

And this probably counted when the album was deemed a colossal shit sandwich by many. That said, most of them have been good. DISC 1 1. Disclaimer: my memory may be tainted because I remember the somewhat catchy chorus being used in an excellent Reebok commercial around that time. Ah, memories. The song is tweaked for a spaghetti-western-esque sound, and Dre contributes a decent verse, as does cleanup hitter Rakim. I prefer the Pac original still, but I had to think about it for a second.

This was the big single, and deservedly so; it was and is catchy as hell, but Jay mixes in just enough lyrics to stop the song from making you dumber. It sucks, I guess is the point. In fact, in this case, it means the exact opposite. But both of those things happened, and for a brief moment, Disc 1 was almost listenable.

Not groundbreaking or anything, mind you, but listenable. The Bounce This is a bit better. Yes, Jay sounds entirely out of his comfort zone despite a decent attempt to salvage this misguided excursion.

But you were thinking you knew the answers already. DISC 2 1. That said, this sounded pretty good, which was surprising: this combination had all the makings of a monumental train wreck.

Then add M. P to the mix, with possibly one of their more lyrical offerings of recent years while managing not to skimp on the trademark intensity.

When you made this song, you temporarily solidified the circle of trust, Carter. The song is ultimately way too long, way too plodding, and no one says anything earth-shattering enough to make up for those things.

Jay may not say anything absolutely revelatory here, but this is a solid effort nonetheless. Yep, fun times all around. Just not anywhere near here. That might work. Otherwise, skip. Would have been fantastic if Jay and Beanie Sigel and maybe Freeway had locked everyone else out of the studio.

As it is, they were unable to, and the result is this multiple-car pileup of an auditory experience. Not a bad way to end things. There are also three bonus tracks, but none are particularly worthwhile. Speaking of which, this is one of many double albums that would have been better as one. You could say the same of double albums by 2Pac, Biggie, Outkast, Wu-Tang and others, but those single albums would be ultimately better than this one. They actually tried it to a collective yawn.

Looking at you, Sean Paul and every Roc artist except Beans. Leave the Sinatra pillaging to Sid Vicious. That is why it fails. Although, if you can ever get Disc 2 at some bizarre flea-market style deal, go nuts. This may have been too much to bare, so Jay did what made sense: he isolated himself in the studio,cutting out guest appearances from his labelmates though making one prominent exception in that department and reportedly writing this entire album in two days.

It was recorded within two weeks to general admiration. Me, on the other hand? Not bad. The former in particular is roasted with such venom that it actually jump-started his career by inspiring Nas to rediscover his inner lyricist in some ways.

Izzo H. A You actually do know this one: the song that propelled Jay into the Top 10 for the first time, propelled Kanye into the stratosphere of producers, and sounds catchy as hell even today without lyrically giving an inch. Jigga That N! If you really want to nitpick, maybe you wish Jay would sound more energized, but he comes correct on this one nevertheless. Hola Hovito I remembered the lyrics as being better than they were, which makes this a waste of a damn fine Timbaland beat.

This shit is relatively cray. By the way, this track spawned two interesting what-ifs: apparently Jay wanted this to be the first single which would have been fine with me and at one point, Kanye planned to give this beat to DMX which would have been a monumental train wreck.

A solid effort. Song Cry Reflective Jay rears his weary head for this heartfelt ode to a lost relationship. All I Need If anything on here could qualify as album filler, it would be either this or Track 5.
