Pro Reviews: Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews After the crossover success of 1998's Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life (complete with highly publicized samples from Annie), Jay-Z returned to the streets on his fourth proper album overall, 1999's Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter. A set of hard-hitting tracks with some of the best rhymes of Jay-Z's career, the album is much more invigorating than its predecessor, and almost as consistently entertaining as his best album, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. As good as his rapping has become, the production here plays a large part as well. Befitting his superstar status, Jay-Z boasts the cream of hip-hop producers: Timbaland (four tracks total), DJ Premier, Swizz Beatz, and Rockwilder. DJ Premier's "So Ghetto," Timbaland's "Snoopy Track" (with Juvenile), and DJ Clue's "Pop 4 Roc" are innovative tracks that push the rhymes along but never intrude too much on Jay-Z's own flow. If this album doesn't quite make it up to Jay-Z's best, though, it's the fault of a few overblown productions, like "Dope Man" and "Things That U Do" (with Mariah Carey). - John Bush, All Music Guide |

Pros: Lyrical content held this album together
Cons: Weak production and guest appearances
As an avid Jay-Z fan, this was not one of his best releases. Over the years I used to think Vol. 1 was the worse one but as I gotten older I realized that this was his worst one. Not to say that this LP sucked because if anybody released this as an album it would probably be a great album by standard. Just not the usual Jay we all know and love.
