Jay-Z The best artist out right now him and biggie (R.I.P) could hold it down Nig*a what Nig*a who held it down with the fast tempo. to talk about his early stuff can't knock the hustle was the sh*t and also the best duo song ever thought up brooklyn's finest if there was 6 stars jigga would get and all yaual hip hop heads watch out for Balducci records cause they are comming to take over Jonah for balducci

I have Hard Knock Life and In My Lifetime, and Vol.1 is better than Vol.2. If you are a true JayZ fan, you will appreciate Vol1, and understand it more. Tracks 1-14 are hot, especially Sunshine, Where Im from, #4, City is Mine. I listen to the whole cd all the way through without skipping any tracks and I think that JayZ is the best living rapper, with DMX and Busta Rhymes right behind him. BUY this CD, you will not be sorry.

Of all of the Jay-Z albums, this one would be the one to ignore. But, don't trust me, look up the reviews.
