Reviews
Jay-Z officially announced his retirement on September 24, 2003 at Madison Square Garden. The Garden is the site of the beginning of Jay- Z's victory lap. The concert, which sold out in four (4) hours, is the first in a series of appearances in support of this last release. In addition to the Black Album, Jay-Z has planned to release a black version of his signature sneaker, S.Carter. In early 2004, Jay-Z will complete his victory lap with the release of his autobiography, The Black Book, which he is writing in conjunction with Dream Hampton.In addition to his success as a musical artist, Jay-Z has multiple businesses including Armadale Vodka, Roc-A-Fella Records, Rocawear and Roc-A-Fella Films. In addition, Jay-Z is the only non-athlete to have a signature sneaker line with Reebok's S. Carter line. He is also responsible for the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund (scholarship fund for high school students in Brooklyn), The Annual Jay-Z Toy Drive and Team Roc.
Jay-Z has released 9 consecutive platinum-plus albums in 7 years and has sold over 20 million units. Jay-Z has been nominated for and the recipient of numerous Grammy Awards, as well as Billboard Music Awards, Radio Music Awards and MTV Music Awards. Jay-Z has consistently topped Billboard's list as the #1 Rap Artist, #1 R&B Mainstream Artist and the #1 Crossover artist.
Heres my take on the Black album. Please note rumors are circulationg that the album that's been circulating on the net and tracklisting below is just a 'test' & the ROC released this album to get a buzz on the streets. Rumor is Jay is going to alter atleast a quarter to half of the album by release day. There will still be fourteen tracks with 2 hidden bonus tracks. Dre will make the final cut and the song will be released as his second single. ~brooklyniteOne, nobodysmiling.com
