Editorial Review:

From Amazon.co.uk:
In an earlier age, when the likes of Public Enemy and Gang Starr ruled the roost, Jay-Z would have garnered the same kind of serious attention and respect as, say, the Fresh Prince. But in the devalued hip-hop universe of the late 1990s--where political activism is irrelevant, and entrepreneurial mediocrities like Puff Daddy and Master P hold sway--it's tempting to hail him as a conquering hero. Tempting, but mistaken. For one thing, he lacks the pipes to be considered among the truly great MCs (Chuck D, Guru, Ice Cube, Method Man). For another, his rhymes--both structurally and in terms of subject-matter--are way too simplistic. Rather than draw any conclusions from his world, or postulate any form of action, Jay simply calls 'em like he sees 'em--a post-Biggie dialectic of thinly-veiled threats ('Friend or Foe '98', 'Face Off') and dreary self-aggrandisment ('I Know What Girls Like', 'City Is Mine'). Hang on, didn't this used to be known as whack? --Andrew McGuire

- In my lifetime, Vol.1
It's a good album but he sold out and made a poppy non soul album that still to horrible of a sequel even though he wanted to be imperfect to reasonable doubt.

Rating:

- I know it's been said before but..
besides the two puffy produced tracks, this album is extremely good. I wouldn't say classic because that's just not a word that one can use on every good album in the world, but I would definitely put this in Jay's top 3. Give it a chance

- Well I donno
I've loved the song City is mine since I heard the song in the 90's...why Jay Z is big now is beyond me...could be that rap is reached its decline...because when that album came out people weren't feeling him as much as they are now...they were listening to Nas, Pac, Biggy ect ect ect...its a decent album...but you have to be a Jay Z fan to appricate it

Rating:

- Underrated!!!
This is Jay-z's must underreated album! Everyone was not feeling this album, but the were just not understanding the content! Besides two dumb tracks (One featuring Puff Daddy, the artist killer), the rest of the songs are pretty solid when it comes to lyrics. You have to remeber that at the time he recording, Biggie just died and that took a toll. Also, He was preparing to retire after this album and have Memphis Bleek become the star of Rocafella. Basically, this album is one of his best!!!!
