This album right here is a modern day classic. It is hot from top to bottom. I really like "dope man", "things that you", and "there's been a murder". Mariah Carey put alot of spice into "Things that you do".

His 2nd Best Album!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 8, 2002

A great album that features songs like "NYMP", "Do It Again", "Come & Get Me", "Big Pimpin'" and "Dopeman". I've played this album millions of times and it's one of my favorites. There's only 2 or 3 bad songs on here but the good out way the bad. The only tracks I hate are "Pop 4 Rock", "S.Carter" and that Dre cut, everything else is slick.

King Of New York, For The Time Being....

This album is dope, & I think 4 stars is defintiely a good judgement of this album. Jigga was probably the best MC at this moment in time, & things havent really changed that much. There are many hot songs on this album, howeva it also has its fair share of poor ones. Firstly starting off with the good. My fav song on the whole album would hav 2 be So Ghetto, DJ Premier & Hova show top form on this song. Other dope cuts are Do It Again (Beans is great, Jigga is greater & Amil spoils it), Dope Man, S. Carter (Amil there yet again, will u please go), Pop 4 ROC (Ok Amil it isnt funny now please go!!!!!), Big Pimpin, Is That Yo Bitch, NYMP, Anything & Jigga Ma Nigga (it took me 4eva 2 find this, jus let Anything run 4 about 3 mins). These are all dope tracks, cud be betta witout Amil. Thank god she has been dropped (if any of y'all hav red my Life After Death review dont get the wrong idea i dont hate all female MC's). Something else that i really enjoy about this album is the interludes. I usually find these a bit annoying and tedious, but the sample of The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp sounds really good. Howeva not everything on the album is good. Things That U Do is poor, It's Hot is ok, dope in parts (esp the start, then aint so dope), Snoopy Track with Juvenile is jus awful, like Amil, this album could have & should have been made without him. In my opinion Hey Papi, a bonus track, isnt that good eitha & he should have jus left it out. On a whole, this album is good but not good enuff 4 5 stars. Still the King Of New York tho.

not that good!!!!

quite okay but worse than vol.2

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 22, 2001

he did try his best in songs like do it again,big pimpim and snoopy track,but we expected something better from the best lyricst of the year.but anyway not that bad.

Really Good

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 20, 2001

This cd is tight, straight up, but on the real, it's probably his worst. Songs like "So Ghetto" are classics that will be bumpin' forever, but then songs like the one with Mariah Carey are just too soft. Dope album, but the soft, radio friendly vibes tend to wear on ya.

Off the hook!!!!!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 18, 2001

On the lyrics no one can fuck wit my nigga jigga on dis, Come in get me was the best track on here and prolly 1 of da best tracks hes eva done!!!!! Peeps was hating on dis cd, but dey can't, dis cd blazin!!!! Good job jay

Not Bad

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 11, 2001

Ok, this is arguably Jay's worst album of his now 5 LPs. Although the production was high profile, it seems rushed and the beats are mostly rough around the edges and hard to listen to. Of course Jay rips every track, being the incredible lyricist that he is. Producers include Swizz Beats, DJ Clue, Timbaland, Primo, Duro, and even Dr. Dre but none of the beats keep my interest eccept for "Hova Song" which acts as the intro and the outro. The album isn't what I expected from Jay-Z after the disgusting great Volume 2...maybe the expectation were a little too high but I was disapointed. Still though, because of Jay-Z ability on the mic it's still worthy of continuous play and its not bad party music. I'm not really sure whats missing but I'd still get it if you don't have it.

HEAVY TUNES

Could have been better

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 12, 2000

Don't front, this album is blazin', but it could have been better. Many of the tracks on the latter part of the album were lackluster. Lyrically, Jigga ripped the album. His mix of sharp wit and arrogance are fun to listen to, but through the course of the album, they become monotonous. To date, he still hasn't touched "Reasonable Doubt", but I know he'll eventually top that.

One more time

For good measure

ONLY GETS BETTER

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 12, 2000

THIS ALBUM IS JUST WHAT YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO GET FROM JAY-Z. HE ONLY GETS BETTER WITH EVERY ALBUM. THIS ALBUM SHOULD HAVE SOLD TWICE AS MANY RECORDS THAN IT DID. THIS ALBUM IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE VOL.2 ALBUM THAT WAS GREAT(AND STILL IS) AND LEAD THE NATION IN SELLS.

jigga iz back

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 10, 2000

over here in Africa we bump dis album like crazy. wit songs like the Timbaland-produced "big pimpin" & "do it again" Hova is just 2 baaaaaaaad. say what you want about jiggaman,he is still da man. this nigga is never going to stop. he spits flows with no effort at all. he's not the kind of rapper who puts in nice beats and a nice chorus and then says rubbish on the verses. his lyrics make sense;listen to "anything" & gain a lot of stuff especially from the third verse. maybe he gets a little too boastful on some tracks but it's forgivable. definitely one of the best albums i ever heard,though i prefer vol 2. buy it now!!

all that

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 29, 2000

this album is all that! almost all the songs are raw. u rarely find an album like this. the lyrics and beats are on point.

its ok

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 26, 2000

this albums ok.put ya hands up and big pimpin really kiks tha mules ass, if ya want a good rap cd buy this funky shit cause it really kiks ass.
hey yo peace

jayz is phat

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 23, 2000

this album is ok. i think big pimpin is an awesome song and jigga my nigga kicks ass. otherwise the album only has like 1 or two other songs that are worth listennning too. i would buy the single when i have the chance.
