The Black Album appreciation

[buster carmichael]

I was just reminiscing on some memories from this album.
IMO this is one of Jay's best pieces and one of my favorite albums ever, even most of the songs i didnt like at first grew on me...
Not just the music but the way it was marketed and hyped fit the cd so well (at least until jay came back

)




Onto the tracks:

December 4th- emotional track. makes me think back to my childhood

What more can I say?- lyrically brilliant. this song pumps me up like no other.

Encore- another solid joint showing jays lyrical ability.
Threat- just hard as %%!*
PSA- ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF

Allure- smooooth joint to ride out to
1st song- Perfect way to finish the album, Jay demonstrating his hunger once again.

More "

's" for Allure would be appreciated, though.

 

[gone in 60 seconds]

his 2nd best album imo

 

[Master Zik]

Allure
Threat
Change Clothes
Encore
Lucifer
PSA

Great album

 

[buster carmichael]

And the thing is the singles were solid but were sub par compared to the rest of the album.

My 3rd fav. Jay album.

I played this album non stop.

Beat to the intro was really good, wish more was done with that.

Some of my favorite's-

December 4th- Great way to start off the album
What More Can I Say- Such a good beat, liked the way he closed the song off.
Dirt Off Your Shoulder- Always think of the Timbo vid when this comes on.

Moment of Clarity- Em

Beat + Jay Lyrics =

PSA- Perfect way to kick off the song
Allure- 1 of my favorite beats ever

So smooth... "Star role in Hovito's way"

My 1st Song- Couldn't have ended the album any better.

 

[shoehd]

my favorite jay album for sure!!!!

"lucifer" prod by kanye gets me hyped, beat is crazy, but the album is insane

allure is pretty dope too

[do be doo]

 

[suprafly36]

I honestly listen to threat 2x or more a day

 

[extraordinary swag]

Would have been the perfect retirement album

Should have ended it there, but still appreciated either way.

Allure is my favorite Jay-Z song of all time

Threat

Jay lyrically destroyed this song

 

[jordan23les]

appreciated, one of my favorite albums this decade
