Here's a little something to tide you over until Jay-Z decides to come correct. Then again, Roc-A-Fella Records could release Sean Carter Sings MC Hammer's Greatest Hits and watch it ship platinum. So, it really doesn't matter if Dynasty seems to be a rather half-hearted effort from the man who many consider to be the best rapper this side of Rakim. Although presented as a solo album, Dynasty showcases the Roc-A-Family, giving extensive mic time to Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek, who gets a whole track (the Ja Rule-esque 'Holla') to himself. Amil, whose own solo album, All Money Is Legal failed to reveal her inner queen, turns up to rhyme the hook on the posse cut, 'You, Me, Him & Her.' Jay-Z keeps his flow fairly straightforward here, and the beats neatly reflect his icy, relatively soulless lyrics. But of course, as the man himself has said, you 'can't knock the hustle.' --Rebecca Levine

- Straight Fire!
BOTTOM LINE:

One of Jiggas' best!

Filled with lyrical fire and blazing production! Not 1, not 2, but THREE monster singles (Change the Game, Give it to Me, This Cant be Life), some nice guesting from the R.O.C. roster, A hot track with 'Face...AND...the intro of Freeway! What more can we ask for?

'Guilty...Innocent' was a taste of what SHOULD HAVE been with Kels'...but oh well. :-)

- A MUST HAVE ALBUM!
This is a great album! One of my favorite Jay-z albums. It was more-so to give Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek more publicity because there albums sales were suffering. It ended up working for Beanie Sigel, he has enjoyed much success since the release of this albums. On the other hand Memphis Bleek is still suffering. This is a must have album for every collection weather you're a Jay-z, Memph Bleek, or Sigel fan.

- One of the better compilations (3 and 1/2 stars)
Let me start off by saying that the Intro is vintage Jay-z but its not the only track where Jigga goes off on. Streets Is Talking which features Beanie Sigel is another track where Jigga killed it and Beanie's verse was crazy too. Both Jay-z and Beanie rip the track Stick 2 The Script to shreds and Guilty Until Proven Innocent which features R. Kelly is Jay-z's finest moment on the mic. Scarface joins Jay-z and Beanie on the heartfelt This Cant Be Life. Memphis Bleek does pretty well on his solo joint Holla and Where Have You Been is one of the best songs on here as Jay-z and Beanie talk about their deadbeat fathers on the track. Although I love the song, I still dont like the 2 minutes of vinyl static that comes after the song fades out. This comp is not without its flaws. Parking Lot Pimpin is boring and so is 1-900-Hustler. Squeeze First is a classic example of beatwasting as Jay-z spits lukewarm verses of a hard ... Read More
