CD review May 28, 2009 Seller was Great!!! I love the CD Jay-z's at his best with tight lyrics and timeless smooth beats, that make you feel like your in New York in an old Super Fly flick.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PURCHASES THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BUY THEM! Jan 06, 2009 I SAY THAT BECAUSE I PURCHASED THIS THINKING IT WAS THE NON-EDITED VERSION. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WASN'T. OTHER THAN THAT DISAPPOINTMENT (I ALREADY HAVE THE EDITED VERSION, THAT'S WHY I OREDERED THIS ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!), IT PLAYS GREAT. SO TO ALL FUTURE AMAZON CUSTOMERS OUT THERE, PLEASE DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ORDERS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE!!!

Dope Album From Jigga Man (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars) Dec 13, 2007 Not long after his "comeback" album Kingdom Come, Jay-Z hits us with a newer album American Gangster. This album has more lively production than his previous LP, making it a plus. Although Jay-Z's lyrics are really nothing to write home about, he still drop something great from time to time.
A few of my favorites on this album would be "Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)", before BET played it into the ground. "Ignorant ****" is a classic track that features Beanie Sigel, with a nice sped up Ronald Isley sample. "Success" featuring Nas is another great track. "Fallin'" has some great production, which I enjoy as well. Some of the songs I'm not feeling is "Hello Brooklyn" with Lil' Wayne's phoned in verse. "No Hook" is another forgettable song in my opinion.
Overall American Gangster, is an excellent album. It does exceed Kingdom Come (which was a good album as well). With producers like Kanye West, Sean "Diddy" Combs, No I.D., and Pharrell, you have an excellent produced album. If you like Jay-Z, more than likely you'll find this as one of his better albums throughout his career. Peace.
