No one can stress enough the fact that Jay-Z is no longer the same man who hit the streets with Reasonable Doubt. If you are looking for that from Jay then you need to ask yourself two questions. 1. Why would you think he hasn't grown up? 2. Why haven't you?
Back in 1995 he was creating his music from his perspective in Marcy Projects, from the perspective of a hustler and man of the streets. He has since had 10 #1 albums and has become CEO of Def Jam, co-owner of the Nets, co-owner of the 40/40 club franchise, and husband to Beyonce Knowles. The man is a media mogul and multi-millionaire. He has friends like Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. He has aged fourteen years. He has appeared on various Forbes lists. There is no way he can have the same perspective or outlook on life as he did in 1995 and his music reflects that.
If you can appreciate mature hip-hop with quality beats, a sophisticated sound, and inventive lyrics, then you need this album in your life. I sincerely appreciate this album because I love the depth and growth that this man is showing. At the end of the day he is the greatest rapper alive and nothing can take that away from him so it makes sense for him to be a trailblazer and take the game to greater heights. No one but him can do it and he does it well. I applaud him for that.
What Jay-Z is doing right now reminds me of Beyonce's I Am... album, which many people also criticized, and while I am no fan of B I had to admit that she showed tremendous growth and range with the ballad side of the release. Musicians have to take risks in order to advance the art which means so much to them. And, at the end of the day, they are people who have to grow up. Jay-Z is an adult. His rhymes are adult, his collaborations are adult, his beats are adult, his track selection is adult. And I love it.

Anyone who gave this CD anything less than 4 stars needs to stop listening to hip-hop and find another genre to adapt to. I'm not going to get into each song because any true hip-hop head would have already heard the album.
All I want to say is that "Empire State of Mind" is one of the greatest hip-hop songs ever made... PERIOD
Not for everyone September 10, 2009

If you're looking for another album like the original Blueprint or Black Album then listen to them. This is different. That's what Hov is stressing.
If you enjoyed Kingdom Come then you can appreciate this album. Not that it's a part 2 to Kingdom Come but it's another step towards the future for Hov. He's not concerned with the same things anymore & this album reflects that.
It's not for everyone. If you enjoy half of what's out these days then it's probably not for you. Just listen to it with an open mind.

Having purchased every album of Jay-Z's, I am pleased, as always, with his latest offering. My favorites are the tracks which don't get constant airplay. I do like 'DOA', but I'm not that enamoured of 'Run This Town', perhaps due to Rhianna's voice. 'Empire State of Mind' really does make you feel emotional (seriously, during a recent night out, the D.J played it and the whole crowd went bananas - white black, asian!) I would recommend this CD.

I have not taken this CD out of my player since I received it October 19! One of Jay-Z's best!
