An album that I perhaps underrated early on. However, after many attempts to listen to it, due to the love it has received, I still think, like many Jay-Z albums, that it is overrated. It really has four weak tunes meaning that it's far from being a classic or anything too noteworthy. 1 Intro N/A 2 Pray ★★★★☆ Easily the best production on the album. The New Earth sample is great along with Beyonce as well. 3 American Dreamin' ★★★☆ Not bad but I always get a bit bored with this. 4 Hello Brooklyn 2.0 (feat. Lil Wayne) ★☆ Mediocre beat with an ill-fitting Lil Wayne featured. What was Jay thinking? Wayne is popular at the moment, so I better get him on the album no matter what... 5 No Hook ★★★☆ I don't dislike this, but it isn't something I'd ever play without playing the album from start to finish. 6 Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)... ★★★★ That trumpet is dope. Good production. 7 Sweet ★★ I've never liked this song. I'm over it pretty quickly. 8 I Know ★★☆ An average Neptune produced chick pop rap tune. 9 Party Life ★★ Pretty boring 10 Ignorant Shit (feat. Beanie Sigel) ★★★★ Gotta love the Between the Sheets sample. Good rapping from Jay. 11 Say Hello ★★★☆ 12 Success (feat. Nas) ★★★ I'm a big Nas fan but I've never dug the production on this one. 13 Fallin' ★★★★ Like 'Ignorant Shit', the sample really helps carry this. This time it's 'Fell for You' by the great Dramatics. 14 Blue Magic ★★☆ Quite a minimalist beat and the first single from this album. Ehh. 15 American Gangster ★★★ Best Tracks: Pray, Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)..., Ignorant Shit, Fallin'
