99 Problems
I got 99 problems, but the first Rick Rubin hip hop beat in years ain't one.
The rest of The Black Album? Not up too the hype so far. Some heat, lots of slush. Other highlights?
Lucifer: Kayne West beat, what's that vocal sample?
The Threat: 9th Wonder samples R. Kelly from only 3 years ago. Good thing its one of his best tracks. Lil Kim just covered it too, percolating underground.
Dirt Off Your Shoulders: Timbaland can do no wrong. Except on his own albums of course.
My First Song: Aqua! Who? Dangerous on the beats. What a way to go out.
I got 5 on Jay dropping another album in the next 3 or 4 years.

Posted by: Abe on November 7, 2003 02:48 AMTruth is though I hope he gets into politics. Russell Simmons is getting in on the backroom shit, but Jay can roll up on some election shit if he wants to. Sean Carter as mayor of NYC, that shit could go down, and he'll run NY way better then diddy...
Posted by: Abe on November 7, 2003 03:52 AMThe Lucifer sample is I Chase The Devil by Max Romeo & The Upsetters, from the 1976 LP War Ina Babylon (produced by Lee Perry).

I just got this thing earlier today - it's a lot tighter than I thought, after listening to the whole thing. I had picked up bits and pieces but wasn't super impressed. Now I feel a little bit better - but it ain't the best thing since sliced bread.
As for running for Mayor, how cool would that be? It'd be another excuse to go to 40/40...
Posted by: djspicerack on November 8, 2003 06:19 PMaww... i hope jay z does come back out and doesn't retire! I mean he isn't the cutest guy but he can sing. except 99 problems i think he could have done better like he could say i got 99 problems but a lady aint one!
